  • Depends on the app. Some let you see all versions, I think.

  • 41.3 / 50

    Kind of hard, but partly confounded by not knowing the best way to use the sliders. Once you start messing around and seeing other colors, I start forgetting the original.

    From the copy I thought it would be harder, and more people would be scoring badly, but the comments here seem to show most people near my score. But maybe only people who did well are commenting.

  • Yeah, I was going to say I saw almost this exact joke recently. That was the other one I saw.

  • Editing is a power not all people should be trusted with.

    You all know at least one person (or are the person) who would text a yes/no like "Did you see Dave today?" and then when you write "yeah" edit their message to "Can I borrow your car?" or something you wouldn't have said yes to.

  • I know a couple people here who own apartments. Median income here I think is like $115k. None of them are much more than that.

  • I'm pretty sure property taxes aren't progressive and I'm baffled as to why.

    Make it so like the first 100k is taxed low, and then ramp up so people with millions of property pay through the nose.

  • I don't know if it's favorite of all time but I thought of this one now:

    haha and then what ;) by jawbreaker reunion. Probably gave some software nerds a headache trying to incorporate the semicolon and parenthesis. Points for a confusing band name, too.

    "Patches" might be my favorite track on it.

  • I really dislike all the "ceremonies" that seem to be involved in software development now. It's just so much useless ritual.

  • Feel like the neighbors that complained should be named, shamed, and had the ire of the state turned on them. They seem to have poor empathy, so maybe some personal experience would stir some up in them.

  • It's really hard to get people to suffer mild inconvenience when they don't emotionally connect with the benefits.

    Most of facebook's evils are remote and impersonal. Seeing your cousin's baby photos is real and at hand.

  • Right. Stocks and other assets are used as collateral against loans. The loans give them liquid cash, but they're not taxed on this.

    There are probably a bunch of solutions to this, but the ultra wealthy enjoy this system so changing it has well financed opposition

  • Break them up.

    Jail the leaders and seize their wealth.

    The shareholders get nothing. I probably own shares via Vanguard-type generic investing but I don't care.

  • Sometimes I still see job postings that are like "MUST KNOW OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING" and I'm wondering who in 2026 isn't at least passably familiar with it.

    But then again I also see job posts that are like "must know Java or JavaScript"

  • I’m just going to move on

    That's my point. They're doing a self-sabotage. Some of them will then complain that they're not getting good matches and messages, but a big factor is they're not giving potential good matches anything to work with.

  • So many people see the prompt "what I'm looking for" and write "my keys".

    A. That's not a terribly funny joke. It's fine, but not great.

    B. It's not original.

    C. You are wasting valuable space. Now the other person has a little less information to make a good opening message. Do you really want that many people messaging you about your keys? Really? Why are you setting yourself up for unhappy outcomes?

    Most people don't think very hard about this, and hope it'll just work out.

  • One problem is users are selfish idiots. They won't go somewhere that doesn't already have a lot of users. They don't care that going there now moves it closer to having a lot of users, so in a few months it'll be good and vibrant. Most people can't even think an hour ahead.

    Another problem is that there are many scammers and bad actors. You need to deal with them, and convince your real users that the scammers are dealt with.

    Lastly, in this capitalist hellscape everything is expensive. How are you going to run a big service that's got low latency and high quality?

  • Sure, could be. They didn't have any automated checks, and I saw errors like "that's too many parenthesis" and "you're trying to use a library you didn't add to the dependencies list" sail through.

  • So much so we fight tooth and nail to keep the cars, but once the street is transformed to something like above we absolutely love it and can’t see life any other way.

    Things like this support my argument that conservatives are in a very fundamental way stupid. They don't have good reasons. They just don't want change for childish emotional reasons.
