"if you manage to avoid parenting your child such that they never physically tense their body into the 'higher probability of ice cream' shape in a way that has unforseen consequences, they won't blame you for everything in therapy" said the zeitgeist

"I sure hope this doesn't have unforseen consequences" thought the parent, doing their best to physically tense the body into the "higher probability of their child not blaming them for everything in therapy" shape

when you watch a movie and some catastrophic failure happens in some system and the computer says like "containment breached" and you're like well how bad could it be if the UX has a specific error state for that flow

There’s a cool feature in Latin, the gerundive, which is a verbal adjective implying that something should/must happen. A few of them survive into English words:

If someone should be revered, they are “reverend”.

If something must be cut away, it is a “dividend”.

My favorite: if a story is so good that it simply must be read by everyone, it is “legend”!

Latin reverendus/a, dividendum, and legenda. Pretty cool that what is sometimes a difficult concept for Latin learners is actually present in English, albeit rarely. Do let me know if there are any good ones I’ve missed.

@maxtmcc do they have wizard Deloitte that gets 20 million goblin bucks to say "yeah just use more dobby slave labor to cut costs"

A door blows open in your mind when you learn about the suffix -le, it explains so much. People used to add it to verbs to mean ‘rapidly’, more than once, or continuously. So originally, to ramble is to roam on, to jostle is to joust repeatedly, to jiggle is to dance a jig quickly, and to sparkle is to emit lots of sparks.

@brazen__head I think once you love anyone you will realize that you love material abundance, which allows you to feed them their favorite foods and spares you and them from seven days a week of backbreaking labor and ensures you and they will live longer than any of our ancestors

I'm not a clinician, obviously, but it does irritate me when people diagnose other people based on vibes. Of course he's "emotionally unavailable", he doesn't like you. Of course she seems "avoidant", she's avoiding you. Yeah maybe she's depressed, or maybe you're annoying her. He might be a narcissist, or he might just not care very much about your feelings, in particular.

@wanyeburkett Git is second nature to us programmers, so it's easy to forget that that the average person probably only knows git clone, git pull, git push, git add, and git commit.

"And git blame, of course."

Of course.

If you've ever studied German, you will (probably) know that the usual intensifier in that language is 'sehr', very. "Sie sind sehr glücklich" = they are very happy. Of course, 'sehr' resembles the old-fashioned English intensifier 'sore' (he was sore afraid). A common sense [1]
