I’m kind of confused about exactly how this could escalate further, given that there are at least two countries between Iran and Israel. Israel isn’t going to send ground forces into Iran, and vice versa. And I’m doubtful that as bad as Israel is, they would nuke Iran. Where could it go beyond intermittently bombing each other?

This happened to me. I got a PhD and expected to be able to get a tenure track job in academia. Sure, it’s hard. But it wouldn’t be me that failed at it, right? Wrong. Three years later, no job, scraping by on adjunct work.

I went back to law school. Sometimes you have to redefine your life in a way that gives you new opportunities. Does it still hurt that I couldn’t get my dream job? Yeah, but I have a lot of good I can do for the world in other ways, and I’m not going to let that dream’s death prevent me from doing it.

I have a PhD in moral philosophy and I have no idea what’s going on here.

Consoles are great if you want the same thing you can get on your computer but with worse graphics, shittier framerate, and a terrible device for input.

One thing I’ve been annoyed with after switching to Firefox is the iffy password manager performance. It’s so common for it not to remember a password that it should, or, weirdly, for it to only remember the password once I’ve typed the whole username in and hit tab.

Bobby, if these kids could understand volcanic geology, they’d be very upset right now.

This is a good way to get a visit from the mailer daemon.

You can soften “a black” or “a Chinese” entirely by adding “person” to the end of it. English is weird.

Water in the microwave. Cheap Lipton tea bag for five mins. A little cashew milk. It’s fine.

I used to hear this…back when I was in my 20s 😭

Never had this issue when I had an iPhone. I was super annoyed by the snooze button being so big, though. Made me think I phone users must be lazy as shit. Who needs a snooze button that’s bigger than the “dismiss alarm” button?

Calzone until you bite into it. Then it’s a quiche. This is a good system and makes a lot of sense.

Too much repeated content on my feed. I like it, but I need to be able to auto hide previously viewed posts for this platform to be the kind of doomscroller reddit was.
