I read parts of it and basically

Having lots of single dates or low numbers of dates per partner many times that end in sex and don’t continue into anything will make you burned out on dating. He dubs this used condom syndrome, imo it’s too on the nose.

He rambles on a lot more about dating and different categories of daters.

Dudes not wrong about the core idea but his writing needs some serious work and it’s a lot of pseudoscience and sterotyping.

Lmao getting ahead of all the annoying pedants I see

I don’t think it’s making devs worse, however I do think it’s significantly lowering the bar to entry to the point where people who don’t have enough knowledge to actually do the job well are becoming proceedingly common. Theoretically they should get weeded out by a good interview process but corporate be corporate

Not that my opinion is worth anything, it’s not like I have anything to back it up.

Please disregard any takes I may have

Yeah, time to filter lemmy.ml. ah well

Nah, rm’d on shudders Oracle linux

I once deleted an 800 gb log file, does that count

I was a developer at Oracle. We got handed down sales goals. ??? It was a running joke in our org that oracle is a sales company and we just scramble to make what they’re selling. When I left half our org had been laid off or left. Only got two raises in the 5 years I was there. Not worth.

Porn star called roxy raye! Super hot, has done some extreme anal stuff that honestly inspired me a bit to try it, she’s done some kinkier stuff as well, I’m honestly more an erotica person than a pornstar person but definitely a fan of her. Unfortunately she was in a really serious car accident. She’s ok afaik thankfully, but doesn’t do porn any more. Really should have recognized the gender envy from watching her for what it was but hey

Yeah, she’s like, the only pornstar I’ve ever looked for specifically tbh. Goals tbh

Ime, people who are curious about anal and want to try putting something up their butt aren’t big enough to take cucumbers (or at least they think so, you’re stretchier than you realize), and people who can take larger stuff have actual toys that are better in every way. Although, as improv dildos, they’re actually not bad imo. Better than most everything else I tried when I was a curious butt noob

I think the title of that video is “The Rules for Rulers”

This is where the pictures originally from, I cropped it and touched it up a bit. In context it’s not as bad as it looks but it does resonate with me

Yeah, I’m on dating apps and actively trying to make connections these days. I still have some dark times, but they’re about as bad as my baseline was a year ago. Things are so much better in general, and when they aren’t I can handle it much better. I appreciate your concern!

Yeah, right? Why would they want me? May as well save us both the embarrassment and awkwardness by never interacting again, and save myself the pain by kicking down any romantic feeling or inclination I have so I’ll eventually stop having them and won’t have to feel bad about not being able to act on them

Fuck, sorry, I’m a lot better mentally nowadays but sometimes that still surfaces. Hard to stop over a decade of that kind of thinking and mental habits

Hahahahahahahaa

Yeah. For the most part those communities seemed to have not jumped to lemmy which I’m grateful for. I think hate is like the fast food of emotions, it’s addictive and we love it but it’s bad for you and eating nothing but that will fuck you up. That video really fundamentally changed how I view things on the internet and if there’s one thing I really wish I could expose more people to, that’s it.

Back on reddit, there was a subreddit called non-golfers. It was created to poke fun at atheists, being a metaphor for a community around something they don’t like. It grew, with newcomers not understanding the joke and taking it seriously and unironically being a community about hating golf. (I was one of those people, I’m self aware now). It kinda strikes me as human nature, tribalism, rearing its ugly head once again. I’ll leave you with this relevant video, highly worth the watch.

Apparently the 5700 xt specifically has terrible driver issues. DDU’ing and installing fresh has helped, but hasn’t resolved issues completely. I’ll get driver crashes very often in some games that should have no problems, I’ll get incredibly low fps in others. Not exaggerating, in remnant 2 I got 4 fps, I could count the fps manually. Hunt showdown has similarly terrible performance and will crash my computer within 10 minutes. Helldivers 2 had similar issues, that got way better after DDUing but are now back. I’m sick of it

Real talk for a sec my amd radeon 5700 rx has been nothing but fucking miserable to use and Im so fucking sick of it and everyone keeps shitting on nvidia so like is there another fucking option? Cause I’m seriously never going to buy another amd card again.

Mmm, I’m a subby lil bitch, I’m into it
