I graduated in 99. Didn’t think I’d make that big of a difference.

Politics@beehaw.org•Trump Administration Live Updates: White House Officials Vow Vast Crackdown on Liberal Groups
221·9 months agoThe sad thing is if even if the shooter was wearing a MAGA hat and was waving a Nazi flag after the shooting, they would still find a way to blame it on the left.
I hated Product Managers as first but learned how they can be a valuable asset. Especially when dealing with customers or executives. They can handle all the crap throw at us and just filter down what we need know.

5·1 year agoOne of my favorite past times at places like this is watching people almost get hit by cars not realizing these are active roads. I’ve seen it there and at Dealey Plaza.

8·1 year agoI’m right there with you. I hate the current trend of rounded corners on everything. I know designers say it is more aesthetically pleasing, but to me it just looks like wasted space.
I could understand that if they were an overseas company, but they are from the US. That had to be one of the most incompetent customers service reps ever.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your hot take on the Marvel cinematic Universe?
7·1 year agoThe writing for Endgame was lazy crap to just let them wrap things up with an epic battle. The second they introduced time travel and said, “okay, here are our specific rules we need to follow,” I just checked out. It was a lazy deus ex machina so they could just retcon all of the story lines and have the battle scenes. The battle was entertaining, but didn’t feel earned. If they done something with everyone being trapped in the soul-stone or in a parallel universe it would have been so much more interesting. Like if you had both universes working together to rejoin then an epic battle, but no, let’s just time travel and bring everyone back, but also let Tony keep his kid. It was just lazy.

politics @lemmy.world•Republican senator introduces bill to abolish US Department of Education
3·2 years agoIEP ensure that all children receive a free and appropriate public education in the least restricted way possible. Unless you want kids with special needs just shoved in a special education classroom until their 18, they are absolutely necessary.
As a parent of a child with special needs, all of this scares the crap out of me. The second the department of education is gone so will the enforcement of the IDEA act. And that is the only thing keeping states like the one I live in from providing these services. It is already hard enough to get schools to do what they are supposed to. I’ve had to threaten a lawsuit against ours, and it’s one of the better school districts.
The second they don’t have to provide for these kids they will shove them in the deepest darkest hole and leave them there until they age out.

Sysadmin@lemmy.world•Remember kids, "temporary", "just poc", and similar claims are NEVER TRUE
13·2 years agoMy boss convinced me to make a pricing calculator for our contracts using Excel with macros. I pushed back and said we need to use Power Apps, CRM, or anything other than Excel. He said it would just be a POC/wireframe we’d use to build a more permanent solution with later.
Well 5 years later, there are like 2 dozen versions floating around with different macros, pricing, etc. And of course I’m the one who gets messaged every time some makes a change and breaks the damn thing, or some sales person is convinced it’s not calculating correctly. I fucking HATE that Excel sheet.

politics @lemmy.world•Republicans admit they plan to implement Project 2025
9·2 years agoJust like the constitution, states can add to, but not take away from federal department of education regulations. For example, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a law that makes available a free appropriate public education to eligible children with disabilities throughout the nation and ensures special education and related services to those children. Changing laws if difficult and no one wants to go on record voting against special needs. So they can just get rid of the department that enforces laws and say they are leaving up to the states.
As someone who lives in a red state and has a child with special needs, the IDEA law is the only reason my child gets any support in school. If they get rid of the department of education then states like Texas can reduce their special education services even further, so they can build more multi-million dollar high school football stadiums.
So I have a conspiracy theory around that. Android used to put the volume slider at the top of the screen. At some point they moved it to the right side, and now blocks the skip button on YouTube. I won’t doubt this was done on purpose, so if you lower the volume for an ad, you will be forced to watch more of it.
