Honestly guys I think we should just let her have this one. I think she needs it.

There are better ways to manage your anxiety than with nicotine. You’re anxious about your parents finding out because you know they’ll be upset, and they’ll be upset because of the negative impact you’re having on yourself by vaping. Maybe you should consider why they would feel that way.

I’m constipated and sober so this sounds like a win-win to me

idk, doesn't seem that crazy to me. if you don't drink or are a small person with a small tolerance, you might have no idea how many beers a person who drinks more might get through per night. don't want to underdo it and have them run out, don't want to overdo it and make them feel like you think they're a crazy alcoholic. and then obviously add a little d r a m a to it cause it's a tweet :)

Painful read, as it resonates with me. I think I’m pretty hot shit but was humbled by the interview processes a few years back.

But in a different vein, found myself laughing at this reply in the comments:

Peter Lindberg 9 months ago

This reminds me about the time I almost got fired. I was at work, playing an intense round of table tennis, when the CEO burst out of his office. "This is it everybody!" he yelled, running over to the Big Wheel. He gave the wheel a spin, and then hurriedly explained "I've got a linked list and I need to know if it contains a cycle!"

I watched the wheel slow to a stop and panic set in as I realized the pointer was on my name. All eyes were on me as the whole team rushed into the Coding Room. I opened our communal laptop and started up notepad, which was the only application it was capable of running. The CIO loved to brag how he had cut 1% of costs by eliminating laptop and IDE purchases.

Everyone watched intently as I started to implement a linked list in C, which I needed to do before starting on the actual problem. I was pretty sure I knew how to solve this problem, so I started banging out some code. Then I hit a mental block. Someone behind me said meekly "couldn't we just google this?" The crowd had barely begun to gasp and murmur at this suggestion when the CEO shouted "No! That's not how we do it!"

I began to sweat. "How much time do I have left?" I said. "Five minutes!" was the panicked reply from one of my teammates. Suddenly I remembered the final part of the solution and frantically began to type again. "What happens if he runs out of time?" someone whispered. "Nobody knows... But do you really want to find out?" someone else said. I knew I'd be fired at the very least.

"Done!" I said confidently, and the CEO peered over my shoulder at the screen. After a few seconds, his eyes narrowed. "Ssssyntax error" he hissed. My heart raced as I scanned the code for the error. I found it just in time! A missing semicolon. Everyone sighed in relief and resumed their ping-pong and foosball games. I chuckled to myself and thought "this is why they pay us the big bucks!"

We're not actually sure what the company's product is. Whatever it is though, it relies exclusively on things like sorting and searching algorithms, and somehow doesn't need data storage, infrastructure, networking, apis, or any of that amateur stuff.

Ugh guys come on, don’t let perfect be the enemy of good (or better). We cannot snap our fingers and fix everything. Incremental steps are necessary.

Wait, but cooking for one sucks. Cooking for 10 sucks harder, but cooking for 2-4 is better than for 1 imo, unless you want to eat the same dinner a few nights in a row

I know this is just a meme, but I’ll share something I recently learned since I find it fascinating.

The oceans started out as freshwater! Water evaporated from them, rained down as freshwater and formed into rivers and streams, and the process of flowing picked up trace amounts of salt from the ground and riverbeds. These rivers eventually dumped their ever-so-slightly salty water into the ocean. Then, the tiny tiny tiny bit salty ocean evaporated some pure water out, leaving less water - meaning the remaining water just got a little bit saltier in comparison. This process repeated for millions of years and those tiny increments resulted in the very salty oceans we have now.

I have no advice for you, as I live in a very humid place without very much risk of static shocks. I just want to say this question and post are hilarious.

Please, I can only become so erect
