    He's trying to win her back from you.

    You know what you must do.
    Tell her she remains his power, his pleasure, his pain
    Tell her "to me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny
    Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?
    But did you know that when it snows
    My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen?
    Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
    Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah"

    All throughout my early adulthood, I thought it was "Kiss from a rose on the grave", which seemed a bit maudlin and dour. Years later, I found it was "Kiss from ma rose on the gray", although my thoughts haven't changed on the sadness scale.
    well it is a Batman song

    Last I was following I thought we already knew she was with him.

    Which is what made this whole thing so spicy.

    So this has literally changed nothing Chanus.

    I sing "Kiss From a Rose" with my quartet, and pretty much every single one of the guys thought it was "grave" until I pointed out that it actually was "gray".

    Mandela effect, maybe? Or just a small mondegreen?

    There was a guy who I barely knew in high school who did this to me constantly.

    I later found out it was because his girlfriend, who was in some of my classes, had taken to totally-unnecessary (but gratifying) flirting with me to get help with same, and he'd found out about it somehow.

    So what I am saying is that he probably knows she's into you, somehow. Defeat him!

    Anyone remember the other week when I was talking about buying some special Kingdom Hearts clothing?

    Well it turns out you could only order it from within Japan.

    But I was already so set on the idea of spending money on this stuff that I found a place that you can pay and they will order Japan exclusive stuff online for you and then ship it to you when they get it.

    So basically I committed really hard to this vidya clothing and it cost even more than I expected.

    But... it's totally gonna look rad so... worth?

    did you get an Organization XIII raincoat stacey

    I got the Sora themed jacket they made along with the Riku themed hoodie to wear under it. They have a Sora hoodie but it was red and the Riku one was grey which I liked better. Plus the Riku one has cooler keyblades stitched into the sleeves.

    I was certain Java was dead.

    The paradigm of running a Java Virtual Machine on a Windows desktop is mostly dead

    But for server apps, web apps, other platforms it's very much alive

    C# is coming in hot to replace it in some instances that don't have a lot of technical debt they need to service.

    I used to work in a place whose principal software ran in an emulated IBM AS/400 environment, which itself was written in Java and ran in a JVM.

    It was really finicky about the JVM supplier and version, too. Fell over after every update.

    I wonder how they're getting on with that these days.

    Probably still running Java. Places that are heavy Java are resilient to changing it because of the technical debt required to create platforms like that. This is the reason COBOL and FORTRAN still both exist.

    Comparing Java to FORTRAN is some quality trolling

    *slow clap*

    Java has improved, it's still very much going the way of both of those languages though. Especially when you're arms deep in a system and find out, whoops it's Java 1.2 and you're suddenly back in 1998.

    It really isn't but okay

    Yes you manage java because of technical debt, places that aren't massively beholden to picking up that stack avoid it like the plague.

    Things like Kotlin are kind of breathing new life into the language, but ehhhhhhh there are better choices usually (I've seen die hard Java fans switching to Go lately).

    Last week I replaced my home automation controller with the only serious open source home automation platform. It is relatively new, just went through a major code rewrite a few years ago, has active development, and ohbytheway is written in Java.

    The entire Android ecosystem is heavily reliant on Java. If you want to make Android apps, you pretty much have to do it in Java.

    My company runs on two large business automation platforms. One of them is in Java. That company publishes a roadmap; migration off of Java isn't anywhere on it.

    Here's a graph from codingdojo:

    2018-developer-job-listings-for-most-popular-programming-languages1.jpg

    Java is still at the top of the Tiobe index:

    https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

    Nerds love to look at a 3% decline in market share and say "Nintendo Java will be dead in 5 years." For example, I've been hearing about the purported death of PHP for 10 years now, yet WordPress remains the most popular website platform.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    It was really finicky about the JVM supplier and version, too. Fell over after every update.

    I wonder how they're getting on with that these days.

    Probably still running Java. Places that are heavy Java are resilient to changing it because of the technical debt required to create platforms like that. This is the reason COBOL and FORTRAN still both exist.

    Comparing Java to FORTRAN is some quality trolling

    *slow clap*

    Java has improved, it's still very much going the way of both of those languages though. Especially when you're arms deep in a system and find out, whoops it's Java 1.2 and you're suddenly back in 1998.

    It really isn't but okay

    Yes you manage java because of technical debt, places that aren't massively beholden to picking up that stack avoid it like the plague.

    Things like Kotlin are kind of breathing new life into the language, but ehhhhhhh there are better choices usually (I've seen die hard Java fans switching to Go lately).

    Last week I replaced my home automation controller with the only serious open source home automation platform. It is relatively new, just went through a major code rewrite a few years ago, has active development, and ohbytheway is written in Java.

    The entire Android ecosystem is heavily reliant on Java. If you want to make Android apps, you pretty much have to do it in Java.

    My company runs on two large business automation platforms. One of them is in Java. That company publishes a roadmap; migration off of Java isn't anywhere on it.

    Here's a graph from codingdojo:

    Java is still at the top of the Tiobe index:

    Nerds love to look at a 3% decline in market share and say "Nintendo Java will be dead in 5 years." For example, I've been hearing about the purported death of PHP for 10 years now, yet WordPress remains the most popular website platform.

    Nah I don't look at the share, I look at what schools are teaching and what tech companies are adopting. Java has fallen out of favor for python and it's easy to see why with that graph.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    Well, we're going to need you two to engage in a series of ridiculous contests for her affection, then.

    Hang on, is that the black dude from Criminal Minds calling the walk-off? Huh.

    That's Billy Zane, the villain from Titanic (not the iceberg, the rich dude).
