in the dark 1984 future, all communications are harvested by the government *google harvests everyones communications* well its not the government so its fine

like literally just do quotas for race/gender in science and engineering. "b-b-b-but what if they dont *deserve* it" lmao you think what we have now is a meritocracy? working at any random tech co for 2 weeks would disabuse you of that notion

in a sense, it's ok to fuck up. you are going to fuck up. everyone is fucking up constantly. just say sorry, sincerely commit to doing better, and make changes. what isnt ok is fucking up and then being dismissive of the people you hurt.

Encompass is an engine-agnostic framework to help you code games.

The architecture forces you to break your game logic down into small, easily digestible elements and lets you build game objects out of reusable, non-interdependent components.

ive been riding public transit in this city for the better part of a decade now. union station downtown used to be a ghost town. now it is packed 24/7. why? because the city has massively developed its transit infrastructure.
