Any pronouns. 33.

Professional developer and amateur gardener located near Atlanta, GA in the USA.

I'm using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.

  • Hooters

    Jump

  • I can't remember why we didn't do that. Either it was further away or the wait was crazy and we passed it. But yes, there's a Waffle House adjacent to Centennial Olympic Park. Generally I prefer to go to Metro Diner though if I can get in.

  • Hooters

    Jump

  • Not the thighs and breasts?

  • Hooters

    Jump

  • Oh, don't forget about Hoots, their brand without the outfits and the same food. Not a joke.

  • Hooters

    Jump

  • There was a Hooters in downtown Atlanta that was one of the few restaurants open super late in the area. We went there a few times after late night stuff for Dragon Con. That's sort of my biggest gripe about downtown Atlanta, they really do roll up those sidewalks pretty early.

  • Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing?

    Jump

  • It feels pretty odd to describe someone seeming to not be focused until they realize someone else is there as them being stuck in a fantasy world as a result of screen usage. Putting a smile on and being engaging can be exhausting. I don't think we should fault folks for not doing it for 8 hours while they work.

  • Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing?

    Jump

  • Young people in customer facing positions seem fairly unemotive in general, I'm not necessarily sure it's a new trend. The positions these young people are in are generally minimum wage (or effectively minimum wage). They aren't really being paid enough to smile lol, or don't really have much to smile about.

    I tend to avoid all eye contact with folks in public so I'm probably not really the best to answer it. It's sort of something I've noticed, but I'm really not convinced it's new.

    That said, I do get that there's a lot of folks who missed out on a lot of socialization opportunities during the pandemic. Whether that's enough to lead to an epidemic of young people doing a "stare" I'm not sure.

    Every young generation gets clowned on. As a millennial I remember us getting it. So it's hard to really say if this is something real or just more "youth bad" rhetoric.

  • If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd do?

    Jump

  • An order of magnitude isn't negligible.

  • If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd do?

    Jump

  • Because whether you've got $1 or $20, it's still a negligible amount of money.

    Again, those are an order of magnitude different.

  • World's First Antimatter Delivery by Truck Signals a 'New Era' in Physics

    Jump

  • Finally, I can DoorDash antimatter.

  • Do people really communicate like this?

    Jump

  • What pisses me off about this is that if they believe that's rude, they're already being rude nt asking one. Like you literally just asked me a question. Just assssskkkkkkk ughhh. People can be exhausting.

  • Do you prefer bare bones software that you customize with plugins, or an all-in-one solution that does everything you need out of the box?

    Jump

  • I think I like plug-ins so long as there's a good set that's easy to get. Nicely bundled defaults, ya know?

  • If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd do?

    Jump

  • That's two orders of magnitude different. It's like a dollar versus a hundred dollars. That doesn't sound hypocritical at all.

  • If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd do?

    Jump

  • If I woke up as a billionaire tomorrow I'd probably sleep in.

  • Mathieu Comandon Explains His Use of AI in Lutris Development

    Jump

  • its inherently anti-FOSS

    My dream is that we get some court to rule that code created by AI is specifically created by a machine, not the prompter, so it's in the public domain. I seriously doubt we'll see that, but I can hope.

    (This is not a rebuttal, just discussion. I am not saying people should be pro-AI.)

  • Poly people, anyone else who has one partner completely obsessed with their other partner and barely devotes their time to you?

    Jump

  • Communication is the most important thing in any relationship, and it's even more important in poly/open relationships because there are more people. So in a three person relationship that's 3 pairs of people who need to talk. In four it's 6 pairs. It's always easier said than done, and it always sounds cheesy to say, but yes, communication is super important.

  • At what point will Rocky Martin's 1999 hit "Livin' la Vida Loca" be considered an 'oldie'?

    Jump

  • Never. Because the term oldie has become really heavily associated with specific decades moreso than how old they are. That said, I think based on the amount of time it's one. I remember them saying "oldies" about from from the '70s like twenty years ago.

    My history professor in college used to always say that anything in the past thirty years isn't history, it's news. I'm not necessarily sure I agree, but it's an interesting perspective. I'm not sure it's relevant here lol but maybe sort of.

  • Is it safe to leave the front door unlocked at night in the US?

    Jump

  • I'm more worried about my door blowing open and my pets getting out. Locking the door takes like 1 second and I do it out of habit. Whether it's safe or not to not leave it unlocked isn't even a thought that enters my mind. Everyone that needs to be inside is inside. If someone else comes they can knock. Why would I leave it unlocked? Like, for real, it's one second of effort.
