WAIT WHAT THE FUCK CHANUS DATA WAS JUST FOUND ON A PLANET!?
these outbursts are making me intrigued
I told Chanus I was going to watch TNG last of all the Star Treks and the internet told me to not do that and they were right.
The internet, and most importantly, Chanus, changed someone's mind on an internet forum.

actually the not chuck thing also needs to be a movie
like get on that, dude
Yeah but then it would end with me actually writing the screenplay and when Leo DiCaprio (playing me) winks to the camera at the end it'll be just like his other movies and he won't win an Oscar
are YOU on the beer list?

i made a door that opens when you approach it but the animation jumps half the height of the door before it plays and i can't figure out why and i am losing my mind right now

Chanus can I make a feature request early on? I want the RE:PS1 series style "loading animation" of the door opening even though that's not necessary anymore with better system hardware
Like every time you open a door, 3 second cutscene

it might solve the problem of my door open animation being janky by just playing a recorded cutscene instead

There was a local newspaper or something in my hometown that had a horoscope section that was dope. Some was relatively normal, but it was clearly all meant to be silly. In particular, I remember one that was like five times as long as the others that was mostly like

i recall once, many moons ago, at work we would get the Richmond Times Dispatch and also the Washington Post and one day i looked at the horoscopes in both and they were identical but in each paper they were assigned to different signs
so like the horoscope for Aries in one was the horoscope for Sagittarius in the other
Chanus on

I also immediately want to ask "why is our society set up in such a way that it allows and encourages sociopaths/psychopaths/assholes to accumulate power and achieve leadership positions"
Because that seems like a real problem!
Every society works like this
Even societies which pretend not to have hierarchies end up like this

I am pretty sure horoscopes for newspapers are spit out of a computer program that randomly generates them from a set of pre-built sentences.
went out for a bike ride up the insanely steep hill on 24th. Stopped at half price books and found a copy of the 4th ed D&D Players Handbook 2 (I want to eventually collect a complete set of 4th ed books) and Three Hearts And Three Lions by Poul Anderson. And it has cool cover art! Poul Anderson has always had the worst luck with cover art. His sci fi (which is some of the best sci fi I have ever read, and I've read a lot) usually has total nonsense on the cover or - for the recent reprints - weird soft core porn that doesn't related to the content.
The 'do your job' guy wasn't somebody I worked with. He was somebody who used to be a friend (until it turned out he was a sexual harasser and I stopped talking to him)
He was trying to commiserate with me about shitty IT departments.
Me: "God, 99% of IT people are shitty."
Him: "I know right? My IT guy gave me pushback when I requested a bigger hard drive."
Me: "Oh really? How big?"
Him: "Does it matter?"
Me: "Well, kinda. What sort of dev work do you do?"
Him: "Does it matter?"
Me: "Yeah, it matters. We don't fulfill hardware requisitions unless they're justified."
Him: "You should! That's your job! Your job is to give me the hardware I need to do my job. Just do your job! That's all I ask. Do your job."
Me: "Sure, but we need to make sure you actually need it first, which means getting a justification for the requisition."
Him: "The justification is that I asked for it. I shouldn't need to explain my job to IT just to get the hardware I need."
Me: "Um. Okay. We're just gonna have to agree to disagree there. I'm gonna... um... go refill my drink."
If someone can't even string together a single sentence about like "because the damn git repo is 400 gigabytes" or some such they don't deserve a new HD
At my job, I have folks in marketing who edit advertisements. They do Adobe After Effects work on video files, and they might edit a few hours of footage into a 30 second spot. After Effects requires 3D acceleration, and video files are enormous of course. So no sweat, three or four lines in a requisition request saying that, and these guys get discrete Nvidia GPUs, i7 CPUs, 16GB RAM, and 4TB HDs. No big deal. Just work with us a little.
And every once in a blue moon, I encounter somebody (either at my workplace or outside of it) who is just like "No! *folds arms* Give me what I want, computer slave."
Arguing with people that don't know what I do about the specs I need has been like half my career.

I'm not sure you've addressed the question!
