In JS and many other languages it’s impossible to write code which is guaranteed to be free of null pointer bugs.

In Rust it‘s trivial.

Yup, being competent and skilled has nothing to do with being promoted.

It‘s very hard to measure the correlation between competence and success/results.
Most don‘t even bother and just measure the results, without looking for how or who made the results.

In the politics when you fail, you get promoted into a position where you can do less harm as before with your incompetence.

In the corporate world people get promoted when other people do a good job at mitigating the mistakes of the former ones.

Your answers to crimes against humanity is to commit more crimes against humanity. 🤔

@jestdotty I haven’t heard about catnip having the effect of sex hormones.
Afaik, the biologists still don’t have a clue how it works exactly.

Shaken, not shaved!

@MammaNeedHummus The icon for accessibility used to be a person in a wheelchair. Now it's just a stickman. Checked on iOS, macOS and Windows 11.

@retoor that would explain all of the BTC Recovery Angel Trust Hacker Wizards here on devrant

@Grumm I don’t know, it reads very similar. Especially when you imagine how it might be pronounced.

@Wisecrack how much pressure do you need to apply to a fingernail so that it breaks?
(Guess the reference 😄)

@Wisecrack so that’s where all this kinky shit in my recommendation list is coming from! 😂

@thebiochemic yup, I consider Factorio to be one of the best games of all time. Can’t wait for the Expansion!

@rarboot Sometimes I wish humans had something analogous to catnip.

@mostr4am they also did not say anything before you wrote this rant.

@retoor normally Dutch is a bit similar to German and vaguely understandable but in this case it looks like complete gibberish to me 😂
2

@mostr4am I’m sure that will work.

@retoor I don’t speak… whatever this language is. 😆

@retoor there is no t-shirt?

@ars1 Why do they use timers anyway? It doesn’t make sense from the story perspective and it also doesn’t make sense for the gameplay.

"Oh no, you ran out of time and now you have to repeat from the beginning!"
Who would consider this to be a fun mechanic and something that adds to the gameplay?

@donkulator do they have some suspicious secret ingredient?

Most dream of ostream, but mostr4am's dream is moist cream.

If there is no debate, why are you posting it on devrant for debate?

Ouchie, this is a particularly painful one!

@kiki alcohol and smoking is legal, too, but it definitely damages your body permanently.

I’m a drug addict.

I heard that caffein is different in that it doesn’t permanently damage your body and/or brain like other drugs do. You can quit and after a few days of headaches you are fine again.

You know the song…

Love is like oxygen
You get too much, you get too high
Not enough and you′re gonna die
Love gets you high

@ars1 I’ve bought Monster Hunter World a few months ago and the first mission was on a freaking timer. I made it in time but I also knew that every mission would be on a timer.

This doesn’t even make sense. "Hey kill those monsters but you have 30 minutes!" Why?!

Anyway, I refunded this shit right away.

So yeah, not only puzzle games.
