Reddit -> Beehaw until I decided I didn’t like older versions of Lemmy (though it seems most things I didn’t like are better now) -> kbin.social (died) -> kbin.run (died) -> fedia.

Gamestop was a much-lampooned company with awful practices and many a horror story from employees and customers alike. I found it gross that the internet would rally behind such a company and never understood the whole thing (aside from the people with neither shame nor ethics wanting to make a buck).
True. They also mention the person’s rural upbringing and then moving to the city. That mirrors my experience and my hearing issues pre-date using noise canceling headphones. I always had a rough time anywhere there were lots of people and noise, but it just wasn’t super common previously (I grew up in rural Ohio and have lived in some big US cities.followed by nearly a decade in Tokyo).
Did the boomboxes-next-to-heads and the walkmans of the '80s and discmans of the '90s not count? I think a lot of game boy users also used headhpones.
I actually didn’t use them that much at all, but I still have trouble hearing with background noise. Noise-cancelling headphones have actually been an amazing thing in my life because (a) it helps overstimulation and anxiety and (b) it actually helps me hear someone talking to me because it filters out the other stuff. I suspect my problems are a combination of mostly-neurological (ADHD and probably (though not officially) ASD) and maybe impacted by loud concerts and general aging-related stuff. I can still hear really high-pitched sounds and the like whereas many of my peers around my age and younger can’t as well, but it’s all mud to me when there’s a lot of sound.
Global economic blackout? I don’t think my small farm business in Japan is going to contribute to the idiocy of the US government. Wording quibble aside, I’m happy to not support US companies on that day.
But just check out my cesium siding and TURN OFF THAT SPRINKLER RIGHT N
Fuck take two, fuck gearbox, fuck pitchford, and fuck borderlands; that series should’ve stopped once pre-sequal and BL2 were out.

I can’t read plain-text, uncoloured HTML
That’s all we had back in the day. The only difference that jumps out to me is having attributes, but that’s still not that crazy. Even back when I did web stuff, I used notepad++ without any particular higlighting the vast majority of the time for plain HTML (though not JS).
As the user posted, one human can have more than one SSN in their lifetime. Many humans will never have an SSN. Some of those humans may have a TIN. Some humans may have at least one TIN and one SSN at some point.
Replied to a comment there today; can confirm it’s alive.
王麻子 it would seem trying to figure out the middle character.
I thought the Powerball and may even some solar stuff they were doing would suit our needs. The last few years quickly removed any such notion from my mind; not touching anything tied to that nazi manbaby
I don’t speak python. Does the f in the top example affect string interpolation or something? If the above replaces {bar} and the below does not, highlight all after the equals sign would be my preference.
I was one and went the complete opposite direction. I don’t like most rogue-likes or games that are difficult just to be difficult. I don’t get that “wow, I bashed my head against it 70 times and this feels rewarding!” feeling. I just get annoyance and a feeling of wasted time.
I enjoyed return to castle Wolfenstein when it came out and competitively played Enemy Territory for years and even made a mod for it. I have no idea how it would hold up today, however
Every time I think I’ve successfully surpressed the memories, someone has to mention that trash
I was there. Brain chemistry and wiring coupled with environment is a hell of a mess
Unfortunately, it’s complicated. There are in-country tax considerations for the overseas entity and, as Americans are often shocked to find when moving here, something like an LLC is going to cause a huge tax headache with taxes
Maybe if that happens, computer parts won’t get a huge markup here in Japan anymore in that … ah, who am I kidding; they’ll still gouge us.
The forecast doesn’t have them blooming for a couple weeks yet.
