I would mostly be confused based on my lack of any programming experience.

Then you should probably allow yourself to see some things you don’t like. I guess the answer lies somewhere in a middle ground where you both see things you don’t agree with and also filter out people known to spout untrue information or unnecessarily emotion-fueled sentiments? I don’t like genocide, but that doesn’t mean my options are fully head-in-the-sand or listen to non-stop Holocaust deniers…

Pretty close to exactly what we do right now, really but supercharged for the fast-approaching/already here world of supercharged fake news.

Or you can update it when you see fit, or go periods without filters to ensure you are still seeing something approximating reality, or base it on people you know personally and currently who you trust, or half a dozen other things that aren’t off the top of my head. The point was it’s less black and white than you’re painting it.

What if it’s based on what you think you should see?

I’m hoping even a junior dev has had more than 60 hours of training.

“And we would’ve gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for those meddling bloggers.”

Gonna have to go the Bill and Ted route.

I’ll figure out what I need in the next 50 years and let him know there. Now the time traveler can just tell me whatever I want to have wanted to know.

I understand your frustration. It seems the two answers are “try therapy” and practice controlling your thoughts in the moment. Which can be annoying when you’ve already been doing both. I don’t have any better answers unfortunately.

You listed a lot of things that were foreshadowed largely in the books. I felt that the dialogue just about immediately fell off as soon as they ran out of book. Everyone felt very much on their own “tracks” and did not veer past that starting immediately with how they dealt with Jon just…coming back at the start of the season. Characters started teleporting wherever they needed to be, and episodes started feeling a lot more like a poor combination of big budget action scenes and desperate attempts to connect those by having two characters talk at each other alone in a room.

I feel like Jaime’s failed redemption arc was missing something (maybe a couple books worth of further development and foreshadowing?) and the whole Bran debacle felt like it was really supposed to be something and they just “kind of forgot” to ever actually set it up.

I think there are some good reasons GRRM has had such trouble finishing the series and the show runners just never even noticed and steamrolled straight to the end.

What would really tie it together is the transition to the next day/murder investigation scene showing it drop down to room temperature.

Now, if I was trying to destroy financial records, I could think of worse ways than for them to “accidentally” be shipped to an employee and “lost.” Even better if the employee actually destroys them for me.

It kind of sounds like the sort of antics a company about to go under and unable to pay debtors/taxes might do…

Yes, I would drink even more until I physically couldn’t anymore. Very quirky.

There’s a thing that cult leaders often do where they make increasingly stricter demands on their followers, it reduces the number of members, but the one who remain are much more easily controlled (because they self selected for that trait. I think something similar is part of the picture for these companies. The people who simply do as they are told and come back (as opposed to looking for new jobs) are more easily controlled by the company.

Also you can’t always assume that just because a company is really big it’s always making the most best, always correct choices. Like GE managed with “vitality curves.”

I have the easiest DIY sauce you can get:

• 28 oz can of tomatoes (either whole or diced, ived used both)

• 1 onion cut in half

• 1/2 stick of butter

You put them all in a sauce pan on medium heat until it looks like sauce.

It kinda makes sense. All the people who know better already use an ad blocker so they don’t know what it’s really like and all the people who don’t know to use an ad blocker don’t know any better and that’s just what the internet looks like.

refuse traffic to you if you don’t run a complaint browser ( cough…firefox )

Ah, so I’ll need a new extension that fakes my browser to say it’s chrome before I can use adblocker. I think this is a cat and mouse game with no end.

Just saying…you never have to compile your dream code.

The seed would not grow if the soil were not already fertile…
