meeting in-character garth at a book signing was an amazing experience
it's ok to use either imo - you'll also find some infosec orgs alternate between the two across endless articles depending on the latest style guide or author preference. I just stick to the double x variant whenever I talk/write about it
having dealt in and around this realm professionally for the best part of 20 something years, it always looks odd to me if there's only one "x" present. a definite vote for two
the butchers. the bakers. the candlestick makers. the mums. the dads. the lads...
(sound of me setting fire to my television, or wishing i was in another cinema screening)
i particularly hate it because it reminds me of that advertising trend in the (mid? late?) 90s where specific types of glossy ads *really* tried to be all profound and meaningful. car ads, insurance, banking etc. like no just give me a debit card ffs
what's really funny is you can almost always spot the exact moment they start using it. meanwhile I was mostly posting "here's a dance track I made before I have my operation wheeee"
my wife had a rash of dudes hitting on her a few years ago when it somehow switched from "Dave in accounts posts about B2B healthcare success" to "would it be that wrong if we used it as a dating site too?" and barely touches it anymore
i'd say about 80% of all execs in my network now use the same horribly verbose, making! teachable! moments! out of horribly overt copilot or gemini rehashes. including all of the "it's not x, it's y", the line spaces between every other sentence, and the "three. word. drama." stuff. it's horrendous
pretty much everything there seems to be ai generated and they're all written exactly the same way. proper dead internet theory stuff
just read 250 words on a long rambling linkedin story which can be summed up as "tesco barcode didn't work". you don't have to try and extract every last drop of juice from a nothingburger and turn it into *work relevant content*. you just don't
passing him along the top of a crowd of people like the train scene in spider-man 2 until a kid gives him a mask and a can of spraypaint
we managed to fix the problem so she no longer needs to dress up as an elf
probably shouldn't have tried this with eye strain but
(smashing the television with my plastic mage staff): it's what himmel the hero would do
ok given that you can only journey to the northern lands in the presence of a first class mage i'd argue that elves do need a kind of friends and family travel visa by association. all this and i still don't have working subtitles
I did this cool picture
do elves need visas
it WHAT
oh god lmao
look this can of monster definitely has some water in it
have gone through customer support and they're unable to fix the problem, so i guess my wife is dressing up as an elf
objection your honor, my client is being brutally owned online
been like this since last night for us. very odd :/
it also doesn't help that *so many online guides* are very confusingly written, or are flat out wrong. one lengthy guide spends ages telling you which windows to board up in scenario A to make it easier for scenario B, and then you start B and none of the windows are boarded up!
there was no frieren friday for us, as there's no english language subtitles available on the latest episode. but there's also no english dub, so i guess we just...won't be watching it? bleh
completed RE2 remake with claire, saved about a billion items in my inventory (and didn't pick up others) to leave for leon on scenario b. then i found out that capcom added scenarios at the last minute and basically nothing carries over.
this is great. it's great. i'm fine
so pleased i will never ever have to worry about posting something as embarrassing as this and not even bother to use alt text in the process
340+ views after one day? looks like visas are back on the menu, boys
