Personally I originally went to Discord because it was the alternative to skype which was increasingly becoming shittier and shittier when Microsoft bought it.

I see, so the angle you’re going for is that basically hiring practices don’t prioritize the skills needed for backend and think frontend devs can handle full stack. Even then the front-end teams do know that the backend stuff is important even if they don’t have a full understanding of the scope of complexity that goes into the nitty gritty of backend dev.

I mean, you’re not wrong but I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at. Yeah front end and backend development are very different skillets, but my point is the people working and coding and making the game generally do actually know what they’re doing, but its middle managers are given orders from on high by execs, most of whom probably haven’t touched a video game ever in their lives, keeping the board of directors happy with quarterly profit increases.

I wasn’t talking about the horizontal divide between front end and back end devs, but the vertical divide between management/executives and the devs and techs.

Its probably just… a distributed amount of viewers requesting more bandwidth than they expected/knew how to serve.

So a Group Hug of Death.

I mean, the devs and server techs know what’s going on, its the execs and middle managers that need to get a live service on a shoestring budged to make the shareholders happy that you made them 25% more profit than last quarter.

Aeronmelon is right about Sisko, and Janeway was forced into a desperate survival situation while still doing her best to maintain the ideals of the Federation.

I was paraphrasing but yeah. Nothing will surprise you if you know how your enemy operates.

While more progressive people have recognized the pointlessness of gendering military service and playing football, conservatives haven’t and its something we can use to our advantage. Like the entire calling them weird thing. It’s literally the kind of insult a 5 year old would come up with but they’re absolutely blowing gaskets over it and it’s hilarious.

Know your enemy and you’ll have the advantage.

The video is an explanation, none of us want to regurgitate multiple 30-45 minute videos that already explain exactly what your asking.

I… hmm… yeah no I thought this was the one posted to the star wars memes community.

The… pictures… in the meme… and the use of star wars events… in the style of the Tamaranian language…

Yes…? I suppose so, granted Community did come after TNG

But yeah Abed is a great descriptor for the Tamarian language

There was an episode of TNG where the Enterprise encountered an alien race called the Tamarians, who’s entire language is based around communicating through references to events and shared stories. In the show, the universal translator was correctly translating the words, but not the meaning of the language.

To use something from the show as an example, the phrase “Shaka, when the walls fell” is a phrase saying something is a failure. Or “Picard and Dathon at El-Adrel” describing successful first contact and 2 people working together.

Think of the person you know who is super well versed in movies/TV shows/pop culture and can relate any situation they find themselves in to a scene from said pop culture thing. The Tamaranian language is basically and exclusively that.

Citation needed ya weirdo

My guy, he crossed state lines with a firearm that wasn’t his, to go to a protest where the only people injured and killed were by his trigger finger because he put himself that situation. That’s not defending yourself. He’s functionally a home invader crying over the dead body of the homeowner he killed because the homeowner brandished a skateboard.

Amy Schumer, while she does have bad comedy, is constantly the target of reactionaries and chuds who think all women aren’t funny and point to her as justificatiom for their shitty worldview. The entire thing has been beaten to death for over a decade. Making fun of her, and by extension women comedians, was barely worthy of breathing slightly faster through the nose almost a decade ago, now making fun of Schumer is even more stale than her comedy.

Oh I agree there are plenty of women who are funny, and Amy Schumer is not particularly funny. But Amy Schumer is also the one that dumbasses point to to be all “hur dur waminz isn’t funnee because shoomer is bad!!”

Hur dur woman not funny amirite guiz??

Fuck off, it’s not 2016 any more.
