Nobody represents the people, but that’s not a new problem nor, in anyway, a new thing in this Trump era

My biggest fear is that the USA always gets to chose someone who does not represent them at all but at least had the notion that we need a planet to live in

Trump is a man child and will see the world burn out of petty spite. And us, in the rest of the world, would have to still live with those consequences

So back to the debate and the choice between Biden and Trump… Sure Biden is a terrible option, like chosing to get cancer… But Trump is like chosing to be gang raped, shot and left for dead in an open sewer and here we are pretending the 2 bad options are somehow the same

Actually, the other way around. We keep on compartmentalizing, Trump can lie all he wants and nothing happens, but Joe stutters and it’s a national disgrace… How can you compare one without including the only alternative?

Wow cool, thanks for all the good info

Firedragon for desktop (fork of Floorp) and IceRaven for mobile (fork of Firefox)… Super happy with both

Lemmy advice for someone struggling who really needs therapy for a harsh problem can definitely be worse than nothing

You need professional therapy, not “advice” from Lemmy

It’s called hyperbole

Yes, that’s what MS thinks… Yet that’s not the case as I can successfully get the files off SharePoint to my PC and then email them

The issue is MS doing this on its own accord and without proper warning or way to permanently override

Worse the the status Quo though?

Is longevity currently a deal breaker?

Asking because I’m pretty sure just saw an article about solar panels from the 90s that were still working at 70+% capacity

Yes I HATE that so much!

Yes but If you chose the full attachment, half the time I just get the link

This is because MS will force it if they think the attachment is an odd extension or too big or whatever

We have this shit at work, they make it incredibly hard to get a fucking attachment as a real attachment instead of a link to their cloud

Specially annoying since my organization is “geofence” but we work with people all over the world… So MS insists on switching attachments to links nobody can open outside my country

1. MS has a horrible track record on privacy or even caring about their customers; Apple, deservedly or not, has higher level of consumer’s trust

2. MS brought out features too obviously ripe for abuse built in the most insecure way, lied about it and was quickly proven a liar. Apple says they built their AI in a secure way, their fans believe them and have not challenged

3. Undoubtedly, there is still a huge Apple fanbase that would tell you Apple’s turds smell nice. So there’s a portion of that in the mix as well

So you just like the new lazy writing. Got it.

No idea where you are drawing this from

Because I know you didn’t just draw a straight line from the 1939 Batman to the current Batman and was like ‘these are the same!’

Oh I see, you lack reading comprehension. To make it extra clear, having a common trait (what I actually said) does not mean “these are the same”

And this is where we part ways. Cuz this is a threat about opinions I gave mine and you are clearly mad that I don’t like your favorite version of Batman.

I’m not mad at all… Disagreeing with you does not make me your enemy… You care confusing me with yourself lol

Yeah no. I think you’re confused because Batman Begins came out in 2005 which was decades ago.

I’m talking about Batman the character, you know? The one first published in 1939. There have been multiple versions but “dark and broody” has been a pretty common trait

If you forgot he’s actually also known as Bruce Wayne and he knows how to smile and have a good time

No, it’s been well established he cannot get past the trauma of having his parents murdered in front of him. Actually, it has been well established he is now Batman and Bruce is the disguise… So no, he doesn’t really know how to have a good time

Post Nolan he is has lost a lot of complexity. That complexity of the character offset his serious side when the cowl came on.

Not really Nolan’s fault and not what you claimed first either. Batfleck for example was not dark and broody, he was just a fumbling idiot who claimed his superpower was money

Look me dead in the eye and tell me Nolan’s Batman is better than BTAS. Or is even in the same ballpark

Again moving the goal post … What does BTAS have to do with your comment that Nolan made Batman dark and broody??

Batman has been dark and broody decades before the Nolan trilogy.

There have been lighter versions but dark and broody are basically core qualities of the character

I always thought project managers were useless until I got a good one. Then I realized the issue was that most I’ve dealt with were as useful as this parrot

The key of a good PM is to know their job is to ensure you can do yours. My good PM had that internalized and his only goal was to remove obstacles for us… glorious times

So if I were to say, “I’m playing phone tag with the vendors liaison because all he does is poorly repeat what I ask to others inside the company”, my good PM would get on the phone with the vendor and get a list of contacts so I could skip the crappy middle man

Another time I said, the network folks don’t agree with the security folks on how to proceed. He would get everyone in the same room and get all ducks in a row, then let me know what the decision was.

If I said, I’m wasting half my day asking for availability to book meetings, he would ask who I needed to talk to and book everything himself

BTW, told my kids about your comment on my abuse of the “…” and they choked laughing for like half an hour. So there is that hehehehe
