Out of curiosity, have you been a moderator before?

It's a fairly thankless job that you volunteer for. Most people aren't doing it out of some lust for power, they're just doing their best and sometimes make bad calls.

Are there shitty ones out there? Sure. But many of them are just trying to make nice spaces for their interest.

I hit a deer while listening to the band Deerhunter. Was a bit surreal.

Somebody convince me I'm wrong.

There is no reason to display "100%" in your UI for more than a single second. Either show 99% and then finish, or show 100% only when you are ACTUALLY done and only show it for a little.

If you're still doing ANYTHING AT ALL don't say you're 100% complete. How is it still like this

Messages is the default texting app. It doesn't require any sort of login.

I've never found similar artists to be helpful. Most of the time it's just a worse version of the thing I like. I don't really like stuff that sounds very samey though.

What reason is there for this when the compiler could just optimize that variable out of existence? This feels like the most hand holdy annoying "feature" unless I'm missing something.

I'm convinced that big corporations contract it out to the cheapest "production" company that they can find, and they only offer the training so that they can say that they did to shield themselves from potential liability.

Well you didn't mention The Good Place, but from your username I assume you've watched it :) .

Ted Lasso is really great throughout and has a really positive viewpoint while still dealing with tough subjects.

Starstruck (you'll recognize Rose Matefeo) is a great lightish comedy.

Crazy ex girlfriend

Santa Clarita diet

Wow we might be the same person, except I haven't watched Black-ish or Black Books. I'll have to look into those.

Edge started itself on boot after a recent Windows update. It even had a little pop-up about how "helpful" it was to have it start right when my computer turns on so I can "get to browsing" faster. It's never been set as my default. Uhg.
