  • A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And no one can talk to a horse, of course, That is, of course, unless the horse Is the famous Mister Ed!

    Go right to the source and ask the horse, He’ll give you the answer that you’ll endorse. He’s always on a steady course. Talk to Mister Ed!






  • JD Vance having had intercourse with a couch, be that as it may, doesn’t intrinsically mean it was IKEAs couch. Of course he likely didn’t have sex with any couch, however often, or other furniture perhaps. But it’s still important to distinguish the two situations. I’m glad to know JD Vance likely didn’t have sex with any. There is no evidence of course of intercourse from JD Vance, so we can’t say JD Vance has or would engage in intercourse to completion with a couch, nor should we.





  • Nah. It doesn’t say not to plan. It says to prefer responding to change over planning. Which means both happen but responding to change is more crucial. Or put another way don’t let your plan get in the way of responding to change.

    I’m sure you were being sarcastic, but I get kind of tired of the Agile strawman and people shitting on it. It’s not a complex philosophy yet people extrapolate so much (too much) and then get annoyed when their assumptions don’t pan out well. even performing sprints is an extrapolation, so this meme gets it wrong too.

    It’s making it out like such a revelation wouldn’t be damaging. Being a single woman and not being young is not easy. Her taking it in stride like that is unrealistic.

    Ask yourself how you would feel in that situation after investing years in a relationship. Would you be that thrilled to be on the dating scene again and having to start over with someone new?

    Not saying it couldn’t be amicable like it has been portrayed, but this strip makes it out like there is nothing sad or difficult about the situation, only focusing on the perspective/agenda of the trans person.



  • I’ve had this problem. My solution was when starting a game to play regularly and semi exclusively. I.e. I only have one single player game I’m working on at a time, and I play it multiple times per week to make progress.

    And I just keep playing until I beat it. I then may take some time off gaming for a few days or weeks, but will eventually pick up another game and repeat.

    This works for me cuz when I don’t play consistently and decide to take, say, a one week break from a game, I find I end up not returning. So it’s crucial to keep revisiting the game and sensing that progress or it feels like it never ends and drags on and on. There’s also things like muscle memory and strategy that if I don’t keep fresh at least a few times per week, it makes returning to the game feel like more work rather than just jumping back in.

    I don’t have diagnosed ADHD so it may not apply to you but that’s what worked for me (and continues to work). I’ve played many dozens of games following this system for some years now.
