I know a Doctor Pythagoras might have a theory. But it might be irrational to go that route. But you said lumps, so sounds like your developing extra roots. To be absolute, try graphing it. Though it might just get better in a few days, give or take a few.

So today’s ‘trucks’ have just slightly more storage space than my old Mini Cooper did. Neat. Like can you legit fit like a bike or 4-wheeler in that?

It’s just getting updated to, modern times. (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

Yes, and it’s more efficient to use a normal check out. Which is what people have been doing for hundreds of years. If you’re going through self-check out and you have enough food for multi-generation, you’re an asshole. We used to have the express lane, which was for 10 items or less (though it should have said fewer), which was meant to get people with only a few things, through quickly. Self checkout replaced the express lanes. And now people will waste 10-30 minutes scanning things because they have a full cart and can’t think about another person, they only consider themselves.

I’ve stopped using the self-check out all together. My grocery store has clearly been trying to do more with less. So I want the bean counter to see people using normal check outs so they’re more inclined to hire more people. It’s sold to customers as “a convenience” when really it’s just having 1 person watch 4-12 self-checkouts instead of hiring more people and having 3 or 4 lanes open.

Also, self check outs are prone to failure, and if multiple fail at a time there’s usually a single person having to manage all of them.

My personal belief, if you can’t carry the items in your hands, then you have too much stuff. I find it very inconsiderate people who roll up with full carts. I don’t care you’re reason, but especially if you’re like “I have social anxiety”, buddy everyone is glaring at you. You couldn’t have more eyes on you and more people pissed off at you. And then if there’s any error, even more people are looking at you and you’re still going to have to deal with someone.

A well trained person will get you through the check-out much faster. I’ve also had cashier’s double check items to ensure they’re good (like eggs), or apply coupons for you, or in rare instances I’ve had something fail to scan so they do an over-ride and set whatever it was to $1 because they just don’t care.

You know what, you’re right. I must have vaguely remembered both and blended the two stories.

No. Though if I got a nickel for every time Trump is associated with the Confederate flag… it’d be a rich man.

I was specifically speaking to the Jan. 6 intersection attack. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/kevin-seefried-confederate-flag-capitol-jan-6-sentenced-rcna69784

Outside the various shitty adjustments he’s making now, we cannot forget something perhaps bigger. Because of him, an enemy state flag (the flag of the Confederacy) was flown in the White House.

Have you seen a popular streamer that does?

Yes. I think a lot of people would reference the MatPat apology.

Why would he? don’t think anyone would lie about that, since those aren’t “glamorous” jobs

That’s your personal bias. He lets people believe what they want. He used it for clout, and while you might not care about game development or cybersecurity, there are many who do. When he did security, he did social engineering. Which is just as valid, but if people are more impressed because they think he’s looking at source code and whatnot… he doesn’t correct them and leans into those stories. Since you kinda hipster-esque view of YouTubers… here’s a guy with less than 1000 subs talking about it, https://youtu.be/oKadi1zy8fQ and he didn’t really do that much at Blizzard either, not in game development either, but again, he doesn’t say what he actually did and has a lot of stories that don’t connect. That’s like if I said, “Yeah, I worked at the White House for 7 years” and just left it at that. But then it comes to light, I was the one mowing the grass, and that’s it. If I don’t specify what I did, nor correct people, and telling stories that I overhear that belong to someone else (and I don’t specify that) or talk about things that happen that I wasn’t involved with… then I’m lying by omission.

That guy rubs me the wrong way too (assuming you’re talking about Cr1TiKaL/penguinz0).

Not even close. https://www.youtube.com/@CodingJesus He’s a C++ developer who got his name because in some older photos of him people said he looked like Jesus. That’s the whole “lore”.

The WoW things is the most well known, be he had a similar behavior in another game, Ashes of Creation i think. Doesn’t take accountability for anything. Cannot say sorry.

There’s also stuff coming out here cheated on his former wife. And then was a massive manipulative dick towards the person that he was cheating on with.

Or that all his previous credentials are fabricated. Like he doesn’t like giving details what he’s actually done in previous jobs. He’ll just state that he works somewhere and then let you fill in the blank. Or passing off what someone else did at the job as his own.

In his own channel he purposely misrepresent the recent things about him. And coding Jesus actually put out a video showing that, when he tries to reach out immediately gets filtered and banned. But meanwhile Thor is telling people that all he had to do was try to reach out…
