Your comment made me laugh aloud, and then be sad. Bravo.

It was a nice day.

Oh here's another fun one, I had a friend in high school whose mother was Taiwanese, and I wasn't allowed to go into their house because I was Japanese. Like, I know the history, lady, but I'm 15 and both my parents were born in California. Luckily my buddy also agreed his mom was a racist.

I am white looking, but my parents are Jewish and Japanese. Basically every time I tell someone I'm Jewish (culturally, I am an atheist nowadays) it completely changes how people interact with me. The best I can hope for is being the "token Jewish friend" most of the time, but I've been treated to racial slurs and even physical violence. In middle school, the rich son of the local pastor called me a kike and I broke his nose for it. I was suspended from school and he was treated like a victim. Looking back on it, that might have been the beginning of my radicalization.

So I'm reading The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses by Jesse Schell and I'm quite enjoying it. I don't really have anyone else in my life who shares my game development interests so I thought it might be fun to put together some kind of regular discussion. I've got a pretty long reading list, would nice to have someone to talk to. Thoughts?

This is a stupid take. You're tired of the people who own and use a platform controlling that platform to represent their morals? If you want a platform to host bigotry, you should make one. They often do so well. Just because someone has something to stupid say doesn't mean others have to tolerate it in their home or place of business.

Seriously, this should be illegal. Every game blasts you with full volume and no way to turn it down until later. Then the reasonable setting is like 10%. I'm in the habit of taking my headphones off when I start a new game.

Californian here, I'd love some $6 gas. Paid $6.59 for 91 the other day.

I think you overestimate how much they care about doing illegal things. They will try it, and if someone can prove it's illegal, they'll pay a minor fine and stop, maybe. Otherwise they'll get away with it. That's how corps look at laws.

Also they clearly had tables, so they don't have to kill each other and break all of their own infrastructure yet.

So I've been using Linux now for a while, and am looking to migrate my dev environment to vim and spend more time in the command line. I'm fairly comfortable with bash but by no means an expert. I've used zsh with some minor customization but just recently learned about fish. I'd love to hear people's opinions.

I've been exclusively using dry herb vape for a few years now. My favorite devices are my TinyMight 2 and various configurations of Dynavaps, but I also own or have owned lots of others, butane and desktop vapes, you name it. Welcome to the club! What device are you using?

My top tips:

  • keep your herb hydrated with a Boveda pack. Dry weed vapes worse.
  • Temp can change the high. Different chemicals vaporize at different temperatures.
  • Save your vape poo. You can eat it for sleepytime fun.
