Some More News will do a livestream of the results. They are usually on point with their analysis and sources.

I feel you. Sorry you had to go through that experience.

Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds. I am usually a huge SciFi fan, but I like the genre for it’s ability to reflect on humanity by extrapolating on current technologies/trends or comparing our culture to unique alien ones.

Revelation Space was technobabble and descriptions of weapons for pages upon pages, and it was totally devoid of any philosophy or reflection on humanity. I never DNF a book, but this one I almost gave up on.

Danish libraries provide an online streaming service, where you can watch 2-3 movies a month for free. It’s awesome! They even had Everything Everywhere All At Once before any other streaming service here.

This feels like OG 4chan or Reddit, and I’m all for it. Great ducks, people!

Play with a controller. Makes the slippery-ass controls feel way more natural.

Crushes are non-consensual. Getting rejected is definitely the best, because that is the first step to getting over an unhealthy obsession.

Hades filled a Diablo shaped hole in my heart, after being disappointed by D4. Highly recommend the Hades games.

It is. But it’s also the basis for the political compass, and is taught in polsci all over the world

Look up The Minerva model

Mandated is the wrong word. “Required for absolutely everything” is more precise. In Denmark you need an app called “MitID” to do any kind of digital verification. You can’t do online purchases, banking or digital bureaucracy without it.

I would love to make the switch, but I am certain that absolutely zero of my government mandated apps will run on this thing.

I actually teach teenagers programming and 3D modelling. The past 5 years has been the first decline in tech literacy I’ve ever experienced between generations. My personal theory is that only the gamers actually have computers at home now. Everyone else only use their smartphones, and that only gives a negligible increase in tech literacy compared to using a computer.

Angry and nihilistic teenagers used to have tech skills and laptops. Now they have iPads and TikTok.

Don’t give them any ideas. So many universes ended this way.

Homeschooling sure is… Something!

Or a simple quick choice during the cutscenes, the first time that kind of scene comes up. Brutal Legend does this in such a great way.

Still can’t bike over a speedbump without these fuckers popping out of my ears. I’d rather use my big-ass Sennheiser headphones to escape that anxiety.

It was tough, but I had an absolute blast 100%'ing Neon White and Hades

I have an unfinished Software Engineering degree. While studying, I started a small businesses to do some freelance IT work on the side and one client offered me a full-time job, so I put the studies on hold and then never looked back. Been climbing through different positions and companies since then. Experience is valued much higher than a diploma, especially in an industry that evolves too quickly for education to keep up. I quit the industry recently to start teaching, because there is huge need for teachers that can teach programming, and working with people is much more rewarding than a big paycheck (imo).

In all of my job interviews, I’ve been asked more about the company I started while studying, than the degree that I quit. So I guess my tip is to start your own thing or start teaching. Having your own business with a license also makes it way easier for big companies to hire you for contract work.
