Searching my full name yields the results for some guy who is a PhD who is in a similar field of technology as me. I just looked and he has his own Wikipedia page now. Good for him.

I try not to ghost people. I don’t like being ghosted myself, so I want to avoid feeling like a hypocrite. But I typically get ghosted anyway. It’s frustrating, and depressing. If I’m giving off the wrong vibe, I’d like to know so I can correct it. But instead I’m left wondering what it could be and I have a bad habit of overthinking everything to begin with.

The last time I was ghosted was a couple weeks ago. I thought things were going well, but then she just stopped responding. I broke character and reached out one more time, but still got nothing. It sucks. Thought we had a connection.

🤷‍♂️ I miss the old days of dating.

Oh we are definitely the same, friend. I want Jake Paul to look like extra pulp orange juice.

There is no default:’friend’ on the backend. This is a template language that basically takes a first name, returns the first word, replaces any special characters with ASCII equivalent ones (e.g., ö => o), title cases it, and if it’s blank it will return ‘friend’ instead of an empty string.

I guess thy decided to change lanes.

😔 They are living the dream.

For the “simple” apps anon is talking about, they are exaggerating a lot. Though, when you get beyond the obligatory “Hello World” and “a window with a button”, the complexity does start to increase exponentially.

Throwing in frameworks like Spring or JavaFX does make things more complicated. But it’s still relatively manageable once you get used to it and know what goes where and when.

Now the whole configuration thing, that’s an art form best left to those hooded “seniors”. It’s good to learn eventually, but not when you first start out; lest you have a fetish for pain.

Java has come a long way. It’s not the languages fault that people create monstrosities like AbstractJavaFinalSerializedFactory or whatever. But if you do want to be “good” at Java, you will want to learn about design patterns. It also doesn’t hurt to have a thick skin too, because you’ll be both criticized and made fun of for your choices. 😊

The show is completely different, and very well done in my opinion. Alan Richson is a great actor. He’s also in Titans on HBO (or whatever it’s called). I heard a rumor he wants to play Batman.

Wrong Jack Reacher. 😉

This would make a great movie. Let’s get that really tall guy from Jack Reacher to be the lead.

I both laughed out loud, and more than once, at this comic. Thank you for that; I needed it!

Maybe he gave up on being a dragon, but got inspired by DuckTales instead.

Oh I like it. I kinda believe that to be the way of Judaism: “God” is not the good guy, and the “Devil” is actually the good guy trying to free us from servitude.

If this is true, then it’s not a setting that users can access. At least not that I can find.

Best you can do is auto wipe after 10 failed pins.

I use a vibrator when I have muscle cramps in the back…

😏

sometimes I use it to “shake free” the sinuses…and hold it to your forehead, the snot will start avalanching within seconds

Double entendre FTW! 😁

If Gargamel created Smurfette, it’s also possible he created the other Smurfs; including Papa Smurf. Maybe he created them, and they rebelled against his evil ways, or he had a master plan of some kind that they ruined and he holds a grudge for it.
