Report: Not a cat

OP is just riffing on the current void trend, so I’ll allow it.

If the community starts getting spammed with people making the same joke then I’ll start removing posts.

It’s as soft as it looks.

To determine how many prison beds will be needed in future years, some states actually base part of their projection on how well current elementary students are performing on reading tests

Wow. That’s depressing.

For anybody thinking this new game will be anything like XCOM prepare for disappointment.

Jake has previously said that he is leaving turn-based tactics games behind.

And his tweet announcing Midsummer even says “it’s going to seem very different from what I’ve done before.”

edit: There is some good news for turn-based tactics fans. Another studio founded by former XCOM devs is focusing on turn-based games.

Honestly, I thought the “Fuck the state” was the original until I searched for the artist to credit them.

This is why I hide my paper towels in a cabinet.

She does! She has a few puzzle toys that I switch between using each day.

She’s a very smart cat, so I try to give her plenty of stimulation.

Vimm’s Lair is the best site I know of for roms.

If you want to do emulation on steam deck I recommend using RetroArch. Here’s a brief guide on setting it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bbr0a6b1qHI

Reminds me of when I implemented content aware scaling for computer graphics in college. I used it to make this monstrosity:

Received a report saying:

please allow the community to vote on dead pet posts.

The community already votes on dead pet posts via upvotes/downvotes. And the results are largely in favor of allowing these posts.

I understand that death is a tough subject for some people. These sort of posts make me tear up too. But our beloved furry friends are not immortal. They all die eventually.

If this community can serve as a place to help people grieve when they lose their pets then I’d say it’s worth making a few people uncomfortable.

Rest in peace, Izumi. You were a beautiful cat that was clearly well loved in life.

My cat’s name is Possum. Not really a crazy name, but it has caused confusion before.

Once I was picking her up from the vet and said “I’m here to pick up Possum.”

Then the lady at the front gave me a confused look and said “We don’t treat Possums here.”

This is true.

But to be clear, I was talking about people lying about having skills required to perform the job they’re applying for. If you’re in a homeless situation I wouldn’t suggest lying to get into a job you’re incapable of performing unless there’s no other job options. Even if you don’t fail the interview you’ll end up in a job that you’re likely to get fired from.

That said, there is plenty of stuff that interviewers look for or ask about that has little or no impact on your ability to do the job (gaps in work history, weirdly specific minimum years of experience, etc). That sort of stuff is worth lying about.

At my current job (software engineer) I’ve had to interview a lot of people. It’s wild how many times I’ve asked a candidate about a skill they list on their resume only for them to completely fail even basic questions.

Then it gets really awkward when I point to it listed on their resume.

If you don’t even know the basics then don’t lie about it. If there’s any chance you’ll be asked more advanced questions then don’t lie about it. Save yourself the embarrassment.

Get well soon, Scooter!

Funny comic, but wow that compression looks awful.
