If you want an easy language for beginners, Ruby is a much better alternative. It’s like a simpler Python, and aside from a crazy loop syntax teaches clean programming principles better than most languages.
With that said, Rails IS a ghetto, and many of the kinds of companies that use Ruby as their main language are stuck in the past or are full of the biggest toolbags you’ll ever meet. DHH, in particular, built a reputation on being a programming contrarian, so much so that there’s a golden rule where if he says something, the opposite is probably the correct choice.
I’m a huge fan of Burnout Paradise. The crash physics and cameras are so addicting that I’ll drive up and down the same street just flipping my car on its roof using the same split ramp just to see the carnage. The driving is a wonderful arcadey feel that makes insane turns easy to pull off, and the crashes make those insane turns addicting to completely fail.
Many people say the early Burnout games are better, but I’ve never played them and Paradise has remained entertaining for 17 years
Hey, you, yeah you, with the pill press, pill binder, and bag of meth “adderall.” Can you press up some of these? They’ll sell, you’ll be RICH and less likely to be busted because if they test for “drugs” it’s clean. You can even keep selling meth too!
The cat never sees you eat and is concerned. The dog carries his food out to you for roughly the same reason, he wants you to know he is eating and you should not worry about him. It’s a social thing many animals do.
My dog also carries around mouthfuls of food. She’ll spit it out and then eat it one piece at a time. She’s better at chewing up her food than I am. You can hand her a grain of rice and she will chew it up before swallowing it
I caught her chewing a piece of glass one time. Found it outside. Barely had a graze on her gums. She’s a wild fucking dog with insane mouth and tongue control
Yeah, I’m ashamed to admit that we found our dog chewing on a scraper razor blade once, to our horror. No idea how he got it, and we’re even more baffled by the fact that he wasn’t injured. We’re pretty much on 24/7 suicide watch over here.
My dog does the same thing! I didn’t know that was a semi-common thing
I’m not super convinced it’s to eat around us with my boy, because he’ll do it in the middle of the night too. But he has to do it where there’s carpet. He’ll only eat if there’s carpet he can spit his food onto. Rugs under his food bowl don’t count lol
My cat eats a few bites of food then finds a string, swallows it down a good bit, then pulls the string back up from her throat and takes a few more bites of food. This continues for her whole meal.
There’s nothing more disgusting than stepping on her food string. It’s cold and wet. So gross.
That is uniquely peculiar, but somehow completely normal cat behaviour. As in, I’m sure she is the only cat that does that, but they all have one equally strange habit.
That is bizarre! Do you think she might have weird stomach acid production? Like, maybe she uses the string to evacuate some sort of gross stomach fluid? I am going to lose sleep over this
This photo has all the hallmarks of “I don’t give a fuck! For the next five minutes, we’re a happy family! Just shut up and smile for the fucking picture!”
