Kids have always had wild career dreams, it's not new it's just a different medium. It's fine. I'm not sure it's a conscious decision to escape the grind though. I grew up with kids who wanted to be movie stars or athletes. Why? Because they idolised movie stars and athletes and want to be like them. It's what they're exposed to the most. Now kids are exposed to influencers the most, so they wanna be one too.
I wanted to be a train driver 🚂
If a community exists solely to hate on others, even as a joke, eventually it won't be a joke.
Maybe I just don't get the appeal though.
On a different occasion when we were selling Christmas trees his groundskeeper came to us and asked for a free tree for the Lord.
They weren't the same of course but we found it funny because the Lord owned the woodlands behind the shop. He didn't get a free tree.
This reminded me of an old rant I have, if legacy rants are allowed.
In a job I had many years ago I met a Lord. An actual Lordy Lord. He used one of these things frequently, but it's not part of the rant.
Where I worked sold stone, big slabs of stone for using as big slabs of stone. He came to us on a particularly rainy day and asked me to show him around the yard. I look out the window, rain is pelting the floor and ricocheting back into the sky. We go outside. He had an umbrella, I did not. He did not offer to share.
So around the yard we go, and I show him all the stone. When we reach the last one he turns to me and says "perhaps I'll come back when it's not raining".
You just reminded me of 3D Pets which might be the first game I ever played on PC...

I can distinctly remember the janky animations of the dog running after a ball. And the dog and cat coming out of an egg. It was weird.
Sorry if this was answered elsewhere, but does that mean Beehaw automatically federates with new instances and only the explicit Blocklist can't? I was toying with the idea of maintaining my own single user instance for stability but don't want to run the risk of being excluded if it goes private in the future.
I have one to add:
Programmers believe languages have a flag.
I used to work on a system that supported multiple languages and had to fight very hard not to put a country's flag next to each language on the front end. People's responses to the "wrong" flag being used for their language ranged from slightly annoyed to extremely volatile...
Does Blazor count? I've done a little with that. Mostly though, no. My job doesn't require much frontend work and even if it did it would be jQuery at best.
I don't think you'd really need to either unless you genuinely enjoy being at the bleeding edge. React, Angular and Vue aren't going anywhere any time soon. That could be laziness talking...
Yeah the language configuration confuses me too, I won't lie. Gets in the way more than it helps. I believe the Chat community is set to English, so if you've only selected undetermined and not English maybe that's why it doesn't appear anymore.
It might be language, in your profile settings there'll be options and "undetermined" is one of them. If you're set to only show English then the ones you're not seeing might be undetermined. It's multi select so you can have both.
