I wanted to like the game, but one game where the other players adopted the ‘backstabbing’ style ruined it for me.

We all have caturday!
just another way of staying ignorant and insensitive to those events.
I don’t really see how that follows. Would you mind elaborating?
I’m a dev, and I’m the opposite. At my work, we use main over master. I thought it was a little silly when we first switched, but now I’m used to it. It’s an arbitrary label anyway – could easily use trunk/branch from SVN or release/develop or any number of other labels to keep track of code.
Hell, we got a new dev on the team a month or two ago, and he tends to name things ‘feat/do-the-thing’ instead of ‘feature/make-it-go’.
It’s not as big a deal as people online make it out to be.
Bypass the whole debate, adopt SVN’s ‘trunk/branch’ terms.
Great response, thanks for writing this. I live in the US, and your Coon -> Cheer cheese reminds me of Land O’Lakes butter – there was a brouhaha over a decision to remove a Native American woman from the packaging. Same result, it’s still in the butter section of the market.
My point is that small token changes cost virtually nothing
Well-put. I’ve been in the position of complaining about this type of change before, and this is a perfect counterpoint to that mindset. I’ve often said “What do we want? Police to face accountability when they commit crimes! What do we actually get? We’re going to use the term ‘main’ instead of ‘master’ for programming things!”
What we so often forget in that moment of “What, I have to re-learn some terminology? Ugh, friction!” is exactly your point about small courtesies. Something doesn’t have to be a Big Damn Deal to be worthwhile.
A long time ago, in a job not so far away, I worked on a computer project where we were using Apache Jackrabbit.
I quickly learned that I needed to search for Apache Jackrabbit and not just Jackrabbit – vibrators weren’t relevant to the project.
What do we want?
For police who commit crimes to have accountability!
What do we get?
We’re going to yell at people who use the ‘outdated’ ‘master/slave’ terminology!
So you’re saying copyright infringement is on par with speeding or parking past the meter’s end? Eh, fair enough.
If you do something illegal, you should be arrested.
Copyright infringement lawsuits are a far cry from bomb threats or the like.
I’m not mad about it, I just think it’s funny that videos have taken over from images.
Why does that upset/startle you? Pregnancy at age 35+ is associated with more risks than pregnancy in the 20s.
Imgur should really rename itself as vidyer. Seems like it’s mostly videos these days!
I use podman at work, mostly just a Docker replacement. My biggest problem with it is typing “pdoman” in commands by mistake.
Do you taste metal?
clean water
I used to have a cat who did this. He would lead me to the bathroom, jump into the tub, and then wait patiently until I turned on the bath faucet – just a trickle!
Don’t regret too much. I wouldn’t be surprised if reddit’s “delete” function was really just "move to the “suckers-wanted-to-delete-this” file.
What would you call it? What’s your objection to the term “employee benefits”? You sound like you have an axe to grind, but I don’t get your angle.
I don’t think you can blame it all on Obamacare. I vividly remember wondering “How TF do people with families afford this?!” when looking at the individual vs. family insurance at a job back in 2002. Premiums were skyrocketing then, and they’ve been skyrocketing ever since.
I had the opposite experience. Once I started working full time after college, I felt like I had SO MUCH FREE TIME!
I did have a part-time job during college, though. That might have skewed things for me.
