A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.

Analog 101 sayings were not nimble enough with technology. I've worked on projects where wearing a lot of hats was much more of a pleasure than sending a change request.... Waiting.... Getting innacurate results.... Waiting..... Sending another waiting request..... Etc.... We still enjoy 100% analog blocks of time, so much like "squinting to see it" is offensive to asians, IDE references are sure to offend someone :) I digress......

  Is "squinting to see it" really offensive to asians? All people of all races, epicanthic fold or not, engage the muscles around the eye for various reasons. Squinting itself, per wikipedia: "helps momentarily improve their eyesight by slightly changing the shape of the eye to make it rounder, which helps light properly reach the fovea" I've never heard anyone besides you suggest this is offensive? The term is in no way racially derived.

      > Cultural sensitivity warning labels should have been applied. Not really. It's just flamebait. You recognize it as flamebait, or you wouldn't think that warning labels would be needed. Please eschew flamebait.

        I'm laughing that it really worked. Do you internalize everything you read? Tabloids probably give you conniptions As stated, I'm over it

        The burden is on you to prove it is not a self-deprecating statement and/or that I am not offended every time someone says squint. Also, the operative words of "much like" and "sure to offend someone" can be ammended to "at least two" I have laughed so hard the (5) days on a global forum. It has been very entertaining :) The conniptions only confirm mental illness over something so trivial and trife.

        You don't have the authority to speak for an entire demographic, nor is it good taste to accuse other commenters of being mentally ill.

        You would be correct that conniptions are their own personal problem. Literacy is fundamental.. Or fun the mental with basic english
