  • Has anyone tried this yet? I’m tempted to convert my physical card over but I’m worried about my phone dying, etc.

    Update: I bought an additional card (Wallet only) and it’s working well so far for the light rail. I also added in a multi ride ferry pass and it correctly** handled that as well. Pretty happy about this so far, aside from being so very late.

    ** The screen on the turnstile says there’s an error, but it correctly deducts from the pass and lets me through. The wallet app doesn’t actually list pass uses remaining but myorca does.

    What are you talking about? I’ve witnessed it several times now at work, especially regarding programming or EE. Have you not yet suffered through a programmer condescendingly explain trivial matters to others, especially to women?

    The post is obviously a hyperbole but it’s not too far off from reality.

























  • Maybe there’s something that I’m still missing, but the genders could be any which way and it would still give the same meaning: fucking or screwing someone over. It’s vulgar and tasteless but I don’t think it is necessarily homophobic or misogynistic.

    It does simply imply someone is being (sexually) dominated by another, but there’s no placement of “good” or “bad”—just that Microsoft users are being dominated by Microsoft, which is roughly true. I do think it’s a crude analogy and a terrible meme, but to say it’s anything more seems like a stretch.
