@marinwaves I don’t read the “my” in “this my wife/child/dog” in the sense of ownership. It’s in the sense of affiliation: “this is my jam”, “in my hometown” — neither claims ownership of a song, or town. The tweet you’re responding to argues against a narrow denotation and ignores context.

Looking at magical “far away dates” in our code, I discover these tidbits: • we have no records in some table which were created before 1900-01-01 • that same table has no records created after 3000-01-01 …I can’t dispute either of those assumptions.

@turtlefur I like your products and prefer to purchase direct from manufacturers vs giving Amazon their cut, but honestly, TEN emails is excessive. Five of these are marketing follow-up. My 2 items came in a single mailed package; why send 2 shipping emails? SUBSCRIPTION?!

.@Codecademy When I go to sign up and use GitHub as an oauth provider, why do you request such a large scope: to read and write all of my repositories?! That’s INSANE!!1!!11 Signing in with Google has a much more sensible scope: know my name, email address, and profile picture.

The new 2024 Dungeons and Dragons Player’s Handbook doesn’t include a humorous italicized Disclaimer on the copyright page. Legacy #dnd5e had just an extra touch of humor, pity it’s missing now.

The crust of the bread is not some magical nutrient-dense peel, like an apple or potato. There aren’t extra vitamins hiding in it. The crust is just the inside of the bread with a suntan.

@raakhus @UjuAnya @heymrsbond I’ve never thought about why I think education is intrinsically valuable but this nailed it perfectly for me. Great find.

This burrito is so bad that even though it’s wrapped in foil I’m eating it with a knife and fork, this thing deserves no respect from me
