Joker 2. Laughing my ass of to all the people complaining about how it ruined the image of the joker for them.

This is the staircase from my nightmares. There's a door to the right as well.

I'm with you on the point that (mental) healthcare should be affordable and accessible. Drug use however isn't the problem, but merely a symptom as well. Figure out why people turn to drugs, solve the underlying issue (generally mental health related), and the drug issue is gone.

Once tried to stop a small aircraft from rolling against a car. Upon impact the vibration in the wing knocked me over.

Next time I'll let it crash and enjoy the show.

Before the largest things on the horizon were trees and perhaps the odd church or water tower. These windmills tower over anything there is on the countryside.

The point I'm trying to make here is that our definition of tall has significantly shifted over the last 20/30 years. E.g. windmill 5km away is visually still twice as high as the church tower which is 500 meters away from you.

This fella loves using his leverage manipulating people into whatever the fuck he wants them to do. The border between good and evil is so close it is nearly indistinguishible. Stay the fuck away from him if you can.

Given our thoughts are largely impacted by the vocabulary we know, being able to come up with new words can be considered a super power!

Oh yeah absolutely. The quickest way to get something done is to monkey patch another process instead.

I'm scared. To have 600+ tabs open like this...

Judges 19 to 21, where after the rape and death of a single person, many thousands are killed, and hundreds more are raped in response.

Yeah they have a fair history becoming the thing they fought against.

This is me.

I would say I'm a fairly proficient dev overall, though on this one project I had to work the frontend. It was shit. Everything was shit.

The backend was a steaming pile of crap, and all of the implications of terrible design decisions were offloaded to the frontend. The frontend became the source of every single delay as it was where all crap started to surface. They were ignoring it, so besides frontend communication was also crap. Eventually, in line with ignoring all other issues, they sacked me.

Long story short, backend devs: treat your FE devs well.
