You guys need to recognize sarcasm.

Difficult through text and no accompanying vocal inflection.

Why would you meet socially at a restaurant if you’re not going to eat, especially one that’s so busy that it’s hard to find seating?

The reasoning is irrelevant.

If I had the table first, and someone came up to me like the OP and said what they said like that, I am perfectly within my rights to occupy that table out of spite and order more, so long as management doesn’t care.

Want a table so bad? Get there earlier or make a reservation. Don’t hurry people along like you own the place, because you don’t.

I think the history is that Hernán Cortes defeated the Aztecs by building an alliance with the other tribes surrounding them who hated them.

::Tinfoil hat:: This is by design and they want you to quit as they are done extracting value from you and firing you is harder than making you quit.

Reverse uno: return to the office, slack off completely, force them to fire you.

Become ungovernable.

Yah! Enclosing in double-tilda is for strike-through in general markdown syntax, I think.

Bruh, I do 30 burpees for every failed unit test. I may be a dogshit coder, but I’m jacked af.

I think you need 2 ~ on both sides of the characters you wish to cross out.

~1 tilda~

being able to create a plan if/when we have to make changes

The crux of what good management is.

Wait… What?.

Cool beans, dude.

You don’t need the “literally”.

And, while I’m at it, others may be revisionists, you lack nuance.

At a surface level, you’re correct the Android re-design in 2008 was primarily because of the arrival of the iPhone in '07. The reason for the re-design was the inclusion of a touch-screen in Apple’s hardware spec. Apple was not the first company to introduce mobile computing handsets with touch screens; that honor goes to IBM.

Android was founded in 2003, and was looking to come into the digital camera market initially, before their acquisition by Google. Then they were looking to compete against Blackberry and Windows phones. UI design experiences have been playing off each other since the beginning.

Apple doesn’t solely define the market, and people who work for them wouldn’t assert that. They define their niche, which is the smarter business proposition.

That journalist who threw the sneaker/shoe at Bush Jr in protest of the Iraq war

I still remember that event vividly. I was a freshman in college during 9/11. Fuck me, what a crazy ride it’s been.

The iPhone still defines the market.

Nah. It’s part of it. A big part. But the audience here is probably not really Apple’s iPhone audience.

Make Do yourself a favor

And that they’re so hypocritical and self-aggrandizing that, as a group, they completely deserve their own impending self-inflicted extinction.

Politics, or more specifically, advocacy of a political philosophy is one indicator of someone’s moral value system, sense of justice and loyalty, and basic epistemology.

I don’t know how one pair bonds with someone who has very different attributes in that regard without compromising one’s own values.

If true, not surprised.

They do (not all, obviously) like sneakers (who doesn’t?). They (not all, obviously) don’t like Trump.

My guess is that Google has more data on you, but as soon as you badmouth the CCP or talk about Tienanmen square, the proportion flips dramatically.

Could not resolve…
