Also, if you’re looking for motivation, I totally get that. I normally don’t do personal projects, because it feels like work, and I like to keep that separate from free time. But I found it’s easier to find motivation when it’s something you enjoy. The project I’ve worked most on is a magic item shop generator for the D&D games I run since I always found coming up with prices and random items to be difficult. I haven’t turned it into a full web app yet, it’s just a script to print out a table with the PrettyTables python library, but I worked on that in the airport on my last vacation because I was enjoying it!

Sorry I can’t actually answer your question, but in my experience, it’s hard to learn actual programming in a classroom type setting. I got a 4 year degree from a state school in computer science, and I’ve been working as a software engineer since may of 2020 (and a student contractor for 2 years before that), and I think 90% of my experience was obtained on the job.

That being said, I do think finding a tutorial online for the type of project you want to learn is a great starting point, provided you have the basic knowledge of programming concepts. If you don’t, I think w3schools is a great place to grab those. Private tutors or online classrooms are going to be expensive and the quality might not be guaranteed.

What I think you really need / want is guided, hands-on learning. Most languages and frameworks are free to download and use, and there’s lots and lots of tutorials out there. A great basic one for full stack engineering is a making a To-Do List (django python back end, and either react or angular front end is a decently easy framework). It’ll teach you basic front-end, back-end, and database concepts, and then you can play around with it whoever you want. I’d recommend uploading it to your personal github repo eith a README file talking about how to run it locally, so you can send it to possible employers. That’s a big thing that a lot of companies ask for in the interview process.

I’m definitely not below average in that department, and I’m fine with it. It is a mostly spandex material, so it’ll stretch for days. The pouch doesn’t have any empty space for sure, but I’m never feeling compressed down there. And if you get the long boxer briefs, then you can pull the legs up a bit to get extra room for the jewels if you need it

Personally I use meundies long boxer briefs. They run a little small. I’m a big guy, 40-44 waist, usually for shirts I wear a 2x, 1x if it runs big. I need to go 3x in meindies and even then they’re a little tight, but not uncomfortably so.

They last a while, I’ve had a few pairs for a few years now. I’d recommend joining the membership (no fees, cancel anytime, postpone anytime) and get a pair. If you like them, get a new pair every month or two. Till you fill out your closet.

They’re a little pricey at close to $15 - $20 a pair, but they’re fun patterns and decent quality if you feel like splurging. But get ready for ads on every ither youtube video for the next year if you even go to their website

Honestly I haven’t listened to anything past Donda. I love graduation and mbdtf, and Bound 2 and Moon still give me chills just for melodies. But I’ve still got Chance and Cudi so I’m good

$0 apparently. I used to love Kanye. I could mostly excuse his bullshit because he was just clowning on the black community, and as a member, I could ignore it. But when he went “defcon” on the Jewish community, I kinda had to take a step back. Not necessarily because of what he was saying, but seeing him on Alex Jones in that mask with the net and the yoohoo, I realized how actually insane he was. I haven’t actively listened to him in like 2 years, which sucks because say what you want about his mental state, the dude could make some good music.

The name is actually on the back, but yeah, probably a good choice you don’t have to look at it constantly

I wonder if they made more money from the $80 controller than the $40 game because of how cool the controller looked (in my opinion). I bought the controller knowing full well I had no intention of buying the game

This reminds me a lot of Inside and Limbo, but even creepier. I loved those games so I might have to go check out little nightmares!

I know it technically is a movie about superheroes, but I feel like Deadpool doesn’t qualify as a standard “superhero movie”

I mean, he is almost 60? Probably just doesn’t try to hide his age as much as some people.

I don’t believe any regular person is truly bad (with several notable exceptions). People who commit horrible crimes obviously aren’t just bad, they’re evil, but the average person on the vast majority isn’t “bad”. People make mistakes, people are misguided, people are products of their environments. What makes a good person isn’t the absence of bad acts, but the self awareness to acknowledge those acts feel remorse, and try to do better. Knowing nothing about you or your situation, OP, I believe that you don’t deserve ALL the bad things in your life. The best way to combat that is to try every day to think about how your words and actions affect others. Let someone cut in front of you in traffic if you’re not in a rush, smile at or compliment a stranger, hold a door for someone. Little things that make you and them feel good. It’s a selfish thing, but leaves a net good in the world, so it’s probably fine.

I responded to a flyer on my college campus looking for new players for an upcoming D&D game. 5 years later I got married to the girl who posted that flyer. We’re still playing with some of those same players today.

It does take more battery than just a blank screen, but it is kept extremely dim and automatically changes placement on the screen every so often so it doesn’t burn in. Also, if it doesn’t detect light (like if it were in your pocket) it turns off. I havent done the math, but i think playing a game on your phone for like 30 minutes would probably drain the battery a similar amount to a whole day if this display

I mean no offense, but the article says the victim told police the fight started when they poured water on the girls. I’m not saying the girls did or didn’t deserve it, and I’m not condoning anyone’s actions, but that sounds like a fight. Probably not a fair fight, but a fight.

But to be fair, the police also said the initial autopsy showed the fight and the death were “unrelated,” which is suspicious at best, so who knows if we can trust what they say?

Cage the elephant

No joke, it’s pronounced Kyle. It’s the Greek letter chi, the dipthong æ which is called an æsc (pronounced ash) that makes a sound similar to the “a” in “cat” but shorter, and A-12 stands for “alphabet 12” or the 12th letter of the alphabet which is L. So chi-æ-l or kinda like a two syllable “Kyle”
