We need dramatic and aggressive change to how we run our society

@Testament Are you playing the Doom Slayer, or are you playing Ferb?

@Aria To be fair, you can pay a graduate student to do pretty much anything.

If you are writing a piece of software. Be it an app, a major program, or a fun little toy... write proper fucking error messages.

"Hmm, it looks like something went wrong..." is not just useless, it's fucking annoying.

This has definitely strayed from "my landlord did a bad" right into the Political section.

we are talking high six figures.

As far as I'm aware, the... overall point of Wolfenstein is to kill Nazis.

dense and exceptionally jargonistic language.

Lawyers call this "Terms of Art."
