The struggle is real.

@admin Depends on how well you can stand 80s TV... I am watching it more for the nostalgia of it than the cinematic excellence. which is likely why I am enjoying it as much as I am.

It is cheesy, formulaic, the shit he comes up with to get out of situations is very often unrealistic, and the fact that there is some woman often with some sexual tension or interaction in every episode very rarely seems realistic... It is everything you expect from an 80s tv show honestly.

@dannyboy Me too

## How to Avoid Criticism: Say Nothing, Do Nothing, Be Nothing

(Note: This is usually cited as a quote by Aristotle but its really just a common phrase that at best is a bastardization of a quote from a modern day Elbert Hubbard, but I like the more common version).

@tombies@social.tchncs.de

Could be. I know from scenes of duck hunters in movies that they usually flock together, so would make sense if they are more communal than I'd imagine.

Seems off though as I always seem to see ducks in the wild as either solitary, paired with one other adult duck, or with a group of far too adorable ducklings twattling along.

@phoenix

@tombies@social.tchncs.de

That was my guess based on the text of the post as well. But I wasnt aware ducks communed in shelters as a group. Though I really dont know much about ducks community habits, perhaps they are more communal than I thought.

@rimugu There is no yellow cheese :)

@John I already knew I was immortal, after all all the evidence suggests as much, I have never died, not even once! But now I know why.

@jerry If there were a religion based around this world view I would be a devout worshipper.

I feel like I need more cheese in my life. Not that I dont have enough cheese in my life already, but it could use more.

@matrix lol, probably not. but I would imagine most dead bodies arent found by cops digging in some random spot. It is likely due to ordinary people digging for some practical reason and find a surprise.

Then again im not sure very many ordinary people are going to even recognize an endangered plant when they see one

@matrix Thats actually surprisingly good advice.

@mur2501 Thank you, that is one of the greater compliments I could think to receive.

If there is one thing I learned working with Data Science it is that my assumptions can never be trusted (even if i base my decision on data, there is still that chance of misinterpriting).

So even if I take a position on something I am always very willing (and in fact I try to seek it out) to consider how I could be wrong. Doubly so because I know how crippling confirmation bias can be when unchallenged to ones own growth.

Its a trait I find useful even outside of human interactions. Programming is actually a place I have noticed it alot lately. If something isnt working and im trying to debug it it is common human tendency to make certain assumptions that a variable or part of the code must work a certain way, so you assume its value and that it couldnt possibly be contributing to the issue. This pattern often leads to a difficulty in debugging a problem. I try to assume even the most fundamental assumptions could be wrong, like two numbers adding up to something I expect it to add up to, and when I debug I am not above checking the value of even the variables I feel sure about. All to often I find my assumptions were, in fact, incorrect.

@phoenix Whats that little hut like thing in the middle of the water for? I assume it has a functional purpose and isnt just there to look pretty

@Demosthenes hahah

Man I really need to stop coding when sleep deprived.. I spent an hour trying to figure out why my program was stuck in an infinite loop... turns out i was returning exceptions rather than raising them...

@Demosthenes It certainly gets you followers if nothing else.
