There is literally a road running right up the middle called State Line Road, lol. In the right place you could probably drive in both states at the same time.

Yeah it doesn’t matter. I just say I live in the KC Metro so I don’t have to explain this. And when I’m talking to my family back home, it’s just Kansas City. Technically I don’t live in KC, but they don’t care.

I imagine it’s like being from NYC. If you’re from there you tell someone what borough but to everyone else it’s just NYC

KCK is starting to get gentrified.

You’re probably like about the pigs. Technically it was in the metro of a large midwestern city, but it was what I would call the outer edges of the metro and farmland wasn’t far.

I’m sure I’ve seen weirder shit, but right now all I can think of is a literal truckload of bread. I mean a pick-up truck full to the brim with bread just loosely tossed in the back. I do not mean bread packaged in cases. WHY.

It was in a parking lot at a Walmart.

Another also, I absolute hate that the video game industry is jumping on this trend. Sometimes it’s nice to play games I missed out on as a kid but it’s getting so bad now, they remaster games from a couple years ago. Enough is enough.

Y2K. It was better than I expected!

Also, I remember walking out of Everything Everywhere All At Once and being angry because it probably wouldn’t do well in theaters or win any awards, despite being one of the best original movies I had ever seen.

I was happy to be wrong on that one.

I would actually love to know what hobbies don’t have some sort of hoarding aspect! I’m trying to think on it and I can’t come up with any at the moment.

I’m sure one of you can help me?

Hawaiian pizza is mid but Jalapeño and Pineapple pizza is S-tier. Spicy and sweet.

I see it? Maybe I just haven’t noticed but I think .world is fine for me?

Edit: nvm you might be right. I just checked my posts in !futurama@lemmy.world. They normally get 60-100 up votes but the last one only got 3.

It started with a distaste for how Reddit was treating developers and moderators, but now I genuinely believe in the future of the fediverse.

Half my team quit because I told them about a better job offer I got. Oops. I don’t feel bad it. I stayed because I got a WFH guarantee that was pretty much immediately taken away from me.

On Monday, I got in trouble for waving goodbye to one of my bosses at the end of my day. Not even an exaggeration. That’s exactly what happened. I hate my job.

I’m not saying it was right, but Hunter did get it rough solely because of who his dad was.

I’m not saying he didn’t deserve it, only that it wouldn’t have happened otherwise.

I don’t know that this is worth making a fuss over.

I have been fighting with Docker and Fedora on these exact items all weekend. Good luck

Don’t you love scrolling right when the page loads and you click an ad instead?

It’s a feature, not a bug! Haha!

I haven’t set up this yet, but I use AdGuard on my phone and yes, it does leave blank space. Sometimes I don’t realized there was more text to read because it’s empty.

It’s not about the adblocker though. It’s on the quality of the developer. A good developer tells the browser to leave space for ads before it loads them. It makes the page load faster and also prevents the page jumping around as each item loads.

Ironically, a bad developer that doesn’t do that, probably has better website layouts for people who use adblockers. 🙃

I don’t do gift giving! I don’t like doing it even though I don’t like the holidays, but the people on my life decided we’re all adults with adult money and we can just skip it. I don’t have kids of my own, but I do have nieces and nephews. I’ll do something special with them. I prioritize experiences and memories over presents for them.

I think they got bought by IGN, if I am remembering correctly. That tells you plenty.

I spoke to some hiring managers who said that they don’t read cover letters unless they find an interesting resume. Regardless of the tools that are used, it’s just too time consuming to read each letter.

I always thought of a cover letter for clarifying something on your resume. Ex: you’re changing careers or industries and out want to clarify why your experience is relevant. So, I don’t do them for every application but in certain situations.
