  • Sounds like you’ve got some stuff figured out and you should be proud of that! It sucks when friends drift apart, maybe you could initiate some hangouts if you haven’t tried that already. Not just ‘we should hang out some time’ but something like ‘hey want to to get together this weekend and see a movie’.

    As for feeling lost and bored, I can relate. I still don’t really know how to handle that, I try to lose myself in a hobby, or deep dive into something that interests me. Doesn’t make it stop but it helps forget about it for a while.

    Stay real friend <3



  • Has this user been singling out other users and posting about them? If not, maybe we shouldn’t be singling them out and posting about them.

    Either they are a dick, in which case block and move on, or they’re a troll and want this reaction, or they are simple of different opinions then yours, which isn’t grounds for singling them out.

    Can’t we just be nice?


  • I just created a new tool for my company, and I opted to leave out jQuery as I wanted to see how it would be without it.

    After going through the process I don’t think I’ll use jQuery again unless it is already a dependancy. Vanilla pretty much has everything covered that jQuery made easier, just need to be a bit more verbose in some cases, but I’ve found that typically makes the code easier to read and modify.

    No hate if jQuery is your thing though, just if you’re on the fence I’d give vanilla a go and see if it fits your needs!










  • Thanks for your response, I’ve been keeping my eye out for a reasonably priced C64 or something so I can get into it on some real hardware (I’m sure there are emulators out there but that’s not as fun).

    I feel like learning it would help with understanding some of what happens “under the hood” in modern languages.








  • There are a couple benefits to a credit card as long as you are paying them off and not using them when you don’t actually have the money to pay them off.

    • It can improve your credit score which is important if you ever plan on buying a house, so you can get a loan.

    -There usually aren’t any fees for using the card like most debit cards have (at least where I live).

    • many credit cards offer a reward system which you can use to get free stuff, or sometimes just cash back. I have a dividends and get a percentage back on every purchase up to a maximum.

    So as long as you pay them off monthly, using a CC instead of debit can actually save you money and be a good thing. It’s when you can’t pay them off, and instead just meet the minimum payments that they become a problem since they have crazy interest rates.
