I love the callback to compiling
(Edit: it's an old one: https://xkcd.com/303/ )

Dude, fuck man, that takes me back all the way in highschool Computer Science class. Back when I ate up all the techbro propaganda.

That's the downside of using Linux: you cannot use the global Windows meltdown as an excuse.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Ah, but we have partners/clients/collaborators/etc. that do use Windows, so unfortunately there's nothing to be done.

Have you learned the new Samba dance?

I like doing as much work as possible on days like this, because there's no bullshit distracting you. I've gotten 90% of the shit I was going to do from next Monday to Wednesday done today, because I didn't have to stop what I was doing every 15 minutes to deal with random horseshit.

Nice! That's awesome

I strive for such levela of organization and/or self-actualization. lol

You know, earlier this week I scheduled an appointment at my bank for today. First time I've needed to do anything at a bank in years. I always seem to have that kind of timing.

Just like when I picked a random day to go look at apartments around town and a plane lands on the highway causing a shit ton of traffic. Typical day didn't have me going anywhere near that.

So what you're saying is this is all your fault?

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I'm saying my bank didn't want to deal with me. I think they took it a bit too far.

I can't remember the last time that xkcd was appropro in time.

My boss caught me banging his daughter today and I used that excuse.

Seven other men doesn’t qualify it as a crowd strike issue. Technically.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Oh come on (his boss's daughter) that was funny.
