most games for children are primarily luck based so i am glad there is a game for children which just has broken strategic endstates they can experience and learn from

Monopoly is a broken, bad game, but it is very effective at teaching children how to break a bad game, i·e the first beginnings of strategy

hardcore in name only, for it

what i am learning from all this smoke is that Philly does not know about N95s

help i have developed my identity around a hobby that only people who are either evil or traumatized do. now the only spaces i can go to talk about it are full of people who are either evil or traumatized. how do i fix this

today i opened my terminal and typed ‹ find . '!' '(' '(' -name '.?*' -o -name 'spec' ')' -a -prune ')' -a -name '*.rb' | xargs -E '' sed '/^ *\(#.*\)*$/d' | wc -l › and you’ll never guess why

every time i run my shortcut the app just goes to the beach for a full thirty seconds which is not making it easy to actually test it out

i do not think this is a problem with the shortcut itself; i think the editing UI just simply overloads itself

i regret to inform that Apple Shortcuts is still a useful technology buried within a very bad app

you are all cowards

• independence day is a good film because it proposes that with global solidarity we can overthrow the locusts who are stripping our planet for resources, no matter how invincible they seem

• independence day is a bad film because it gave Bush an idea on how to turn an unpopular presidency into a popular one

if this sounds incredibly cursed to you then get Posix `awk´ to add a mechanism to go from a hexadecimal number to the literal ASCII character it represents that isn¦t just printing an escape code and piping it to `printf´

the issue if you were wondering is the fact that my build script replaced every letter in the filenames with five bytes of octal escape code, and i moved the repository to a new location with longer filenames and this was enough to make the result just big enough to no longer fit in the maximum argument size xargs allowed

i did do some minor optimizations, but mostly i fixed the problem by switching to four bytes of octal escape code
