  • I did that during the great exodus. Actually, I replaced all my comments with random book quotes six times over the course of two years before finally deleting them. So, if you ever have a question about obscure data lifecycle management techniques, cybersecurity, Destiny, data center power optimization, etc., and the chatbot replies with an excerpt of Jane Eyre or an nutritional breakdown of a tablespoon of almond oil, it took it from a backup of my old reddit account.




  • I’m in that group where caffeine is calming (often makes me sleepy) and I never have physical withdrawl if I skip a couple of days. My cousin on the other hand is physically addicted to the caffeine. I have seen how it affects him if he doesn’t get any.

    Personally, if caffeine affected me that way, I’d never touch the stuff ever again and I’d look for other solutions and coping mechanisms.








  • I am a gen-x cis male who has been skateboarding and surfing since the early 1980’s. The words “bro” and “dude” are completely genderless to me. I call my female friends and my wife “dude” all the time (bro less so as that might be a generational divide there). That said, if you, or anybody for that matter, told me that the term is harmful to them, I would makr every effort to avoid using it with them. I might slip up from time to time due to muscle memory, but if I did, I would apologize.

    This is, at the very least, common courtesy. Your roommate is in the wrong and you are not being rude.
