I had a job interview for a Senior Linux Engineer, the interview was via MS Teams, I mentioned that MS Teams does not have Linux support (at the time) and requested to have the interview over any other service. They replied asking me to use Windows for the interview, as that was the OS my work laptop would use. I politely replied that I was no longer interested.

I got banned from r/unpopularopinion circa 2015 for trolling. I submitted a post saying that only because something is on Netflix, doesn't mean that it is automatically good. I got downvoted to hell and a lot of comments showing counter-examples, now that I think about, it must've been Netflix PR team.

Anyhow, decided to delete my account that was prior to the Digg migration, then made a new one, but never posted again. Now I'm here and loving it!

last week in the subway, there were two people chatting right at the base of the escalator, other passengers were awkwardly shoving past them.

When I got to them I said "you are going to take the escalator or not?" they didn't reply, but quickly jump into the escalator, then they got out they just stood there continuing talking, at the top. I naturally got shoved into them and told me to look where I was going.

Early 40s here. I never understood my generation's obsession with "growing up", I remember as a teenager, a lot of my highschool classmates would pretend to be older than they actually were and dismissed some hobbies and activities as "for kids".

When I was in university, there's was this massive start of the year party for all students, as a first year student of course I attended and had the time of my life. Next year came by and asked some classmates to go with me and I got a response that I still remember to this day "you're almost 20, aren't you a bit old to be attending college parties?" like dude read the room, we're college students, the party was organised for us.

Now that we're here, all grown up and middle age, what do we do now? I know I'll be having fun tonight

I've noticed that most people are pretty bad at explaining board game rules, and some outright refuse to fully read the rules, which leads to confusion, which leads to frustration.

Also, when playing a new game with kids, play a few rounds thinking out loud and explain why you are doing what you are doing. It really helps them understand the game better.
