Well to be fair it probably is pessimism. That doesn’t make you a pessimist in the same way that me expecting to wake up every morning doesn’t make me an optimist.

I think that flu thing is an old wives tale. You usually get flu because you breathed it in. The association with cold is because during cold weather people spend more time in poorly ventilated areas.

Thanks, that’s very kind!

Whatever you say kiddo

What’s the ableism in the comment? Sincere question because I thought I knew what it was but can’t spot any here so I must be ignorant.

I completely agree. I taught JS/TS for 5yrs and I always emphasised that the ‘class’ keyword was just syntactic sugar for what was already available in prototype inheritance of JS.

Huh? I’ve worked with TypeScript + React for the last 5yrs and the only time I see OOP is when someone’s done something wrong.

Maybe you’re thinking of old react with class based components?

It tastes really bitter to me. I don’t understand how people can drink it. Tried it black, white, with sugar, without.

Love the smell of coffee beans though. If coffee tasted anything like beans smell I’d be drinking that stuff non stop.

Huh that’s interesting…I hate beer, lager and coffee, all everyday adulting things…I wonder if I have this gene.

Not to be that guy - just to make sure you nail it perfectly next time - it’s “all your base are belong to us”

They’re essential, but they’re also numerous. The barrier to entry for a lot of these jobs is “went to school for some time” - which means pretty much everyone is qualified.

Supply and demand.

Notice how when service staff were allowed back to work, a lot of them didn’t, and that drove up zone wages.

And to be clear - I am not advocating for below living wages, nor saying that people doing these jobs are unskilled. You can tell the good from the bad, and I think everyone should be paid at least a living wage.

Ah my sweet summer child…how wonderful it must be to live in your world.

Oh man Titan AE was how I discovered Lit, was really into them back then. Still love Over my HeaD!

I believe theyre referring to the usual two-finger-fuck-you. As in v for victory.

If you take that same sign and press it to your lips you get a gesture recognised as “eating pussy” when accompanied by some tongue action through the V of your fingers.
