I remember reading the original of these without the tagline up top. The guys name was Abs Delfuego (I’m not making this up, you can google him). He posted by omegaweapon on Reddit. He had a neighbor with a disabled son, and Abs made an arcade machine for him.

His wife had died a couple years prior, and he started a business making arcade cabinets and occasionally maki no custom machines for charities. After he lost his wife he just kinda started not caring about being polite. If anybody got uppity with him, he’d cancel the contract. Just flat out, here’s your money, I’m done.

There were a lot of unhappy bosses calling gabs to apologize. Also a lot of people threatening to sue. I wonder what happened to him.

Edit: Apparently I can’t read, and this wasn’t Abs. I could swear I read something similar from Abs, but as the first line calls the person Caleb, I was mistaken.

Sorry the “like” usually signifies hyperbole for me and those I generally talk to. Im not saying it’s every woman literally. Just… definitely a lot.

But let’s talk about why people wouldn’t want to read the series. Let’s talk about why people might think the series has things in it that are weird towards women. (For the record, a lot of the series gave me cringes, but I personally stopped reading because by the time peace talks came out I didn’t care anymore. And ghost stories was awful. I do agree with OC that it just keeps getting weirder about women).

Im not going to copy the passage. Im not going to paste an image. Harry Dresden describing his 16 year old apprentice (his friends daughter) felt the need to describe her breasts “straining” her tank top. Then, felt the need to describe her nipple piercings. Then says he didn’t want to know why else was pierced even if it was “a little intriguing”. I think that was also the longest description of a person until that point. I get that you like the series. I liked quite a bit of it myself. I don’t understand how you can’t comprehend that there are valid reasons to think the series is weird about women.

In this case OC just said “he” and could be talking about Harry. Some people also just don’t wanna read that kind of perspective.

It’s also strange that like… every single woman in the series (including a teenager) want to sleep with Harry. There’s nothing wrong with somebody not enjoying reading things like that. Whether the author thinks that way or it’s just a character trait of the main character in the series, a lot of people just don’t want to read constant misogyny.

Could you elaborate? Because I’m like… 90% you’re wrong. Oc is correct. The “c” in type c referred to the connector. Just like micro-b mini-b usb A,etc. USB 3 is the speed standard. As well as 3.1 (or 3.2 gen 1 it’s called now or some other silliness), 3.2 gen 2, etc.

There are usb C cables that can do video, audio, some that have thunderbolt speeds. There are also usb c cables that only support usb 2.0. So if you can elaborate on why you believe otherwise, id appreciate it. the usb consortium has ridiculous conventions and I’m no hardware specialist. My knowledge on these is from USB consortiums training when I was a salesman.

That’s fair. It all comes down to preferences in the end.

I tried bean in the early stages and didn’t really like the interface. I’ll try it again now that it’s out of test flight but I’ve really enjoyed Memmy so far.

If you’re on iOS I’d give Memmy a shot. It’s very similar to Apollo, and I’m really liking it. The devs are great too

My app isn’t working with the link. It was someone saying their now deleted comment was one calling the OP subhuman and apologized, saying they should dunk on people for what they do, not who they are. I thought it was a nice apology, though.

To be clear, the first commenter apologized and I think that’s genuinely awesome. The second…

Apple created the first laptop with a backlit keyboard. The first laptop milled from a single piece of aluminum. I’m pretty sure MagSafe wasn’t used on laptops before Apple. I think the first anodized aluminum case as well.

Smart phones before the iPhone didn’t have Apps. And they weren’t all that good. Blackberry had bbm and the business world to make it slightly successful. Windows phone 6? It was fine. Not incredibly special but more useful than a flip phone.

They’ve consistently had the best notebook display resolutions.

Their eco system every one talks about not wanting to be locked in? Incredibly innovative. Go from one device to another with no transition. It’s actually a really big convenience feature.

They also have come up with innovative new ways to make awful desktop computers every couple of years. I guess the Mac mini is fine.

No problem! That means you get to be one of todays lucky 10,000. They were definitely sought out positions. It did eventually enter common discussion as just a group of tech giants that pay higher than others. That’s why Microsoft was always implied for me.

There were tons of people who’d get a couple years in at one of the major companies and then just use that experience to work wherever they wanted and enjoy themselves. I couldn’t see myself working for one of those companies though. I think it’d be cool to work on some of the stuff they work on, but it seems like the work culture has gone down hill from when Google used to be considered an awesome place to be a dev.

You’re right that it won’t. I will say that I switched from Firefox to chrome when it was still in beta (nobody I talk to ever remembers the “goats teleported” metric). Chrome was way faster. It didn’t handle memory well, but it was the best for me for a long time. The extensions were great.

I just downloaded Firefox on all my devices and I’ve been happy so far. Not as fast as chrome or edge, but gets me closer to leaving google.

It was actually about the stocks. Microsoft wasn’t a part of it because they weren’t “new”. I’m pretty sure Microsoft is actually in the new tech-stock-group.

After it was popularized as a group of tech stocks to buy, people just used it to talk about the biggest software companies, and a lot of devs I talked to (myself included) kinda implied Microsoft when we said FAANG. And while those companies did tend to pay higher than other devs, I think it’s pretty understood that comes with expectations and stress. None of my dev friends would ever wanna work in that environment.

Did you even read your boogey man bill or just take Fox News as gods word? The bill only says someone is guilty of a felony if they cause damage, bodily harm, or threaten a person because of sexual identity. It just adds a protection to people who are being victimize for a specific aspect of their identity.

As long as you weren’t planning on any hate crimes you can misgender people as much as you want in Michigan. It makes you an asshole, but not a felon.

If you would like to read the bill you’re parroting bullshit about, I can link you to the actual text of it on Michigan’s website so you don’t have to be scared of going to jail for misgendering someone anymore.

Again unless you’re planning a hate crime against them. Then you’re n asshole and a felon. Because hate crimes are bad. That’s not a political thing right? Like damaging someone’s property or body is illegal all the time. It’s just more illegal when you do it intentionally because of an aspect of their identity. I mean you don’t think it’s okay to assault disabled folks because of their disability?
