All I can suggest is look at the actual data and not the reporting on the data.

Also there's the problem of a lack of a control group in this data. If you asked people in an online questionnaire how the Coca-Cola corporation was affecting their mental health what sort of responses would you get?

I don't see any divisiveness nor politics on my feed. It's all baby pictures and vacation photos. Anecdotes are not data.

Nobody seems to care to look at the actual data she provided. It's weak imo. 15% of teens say FB makes their lives worse, 34% say it makes their lives better , and 51% say neither. This is an online poll. Among teens who are depressed

C levels don't sit on the call with engineers. They aren't that dumb. Managers will communicate upward.

Easy problems are hard if you've never done them before. As a new grad, you can learn a lot at a "boring" job.

My favorite project in recent years was a little python service that I owned end to end. The rest of the company deployed into this god awful monolith but my service ran on a little forgotten AWS account where I had full control. Eventually

I used to have imposter syndrome. Now I just don't care. I do my best and whatever happens, happens.

ITT: People who don't understand American history getting all mad about something that has existed forever (Black entertainment) because everything must be a culture war battle to them.

What sort of product do you have in mind that would be for white people?
42.
by LordHumungous 5y ago
Yes, except for more recent African immigrants.

The reality is that most of the country remains extremely segregated.

by LordHumungous 5y ago
Yes, Black Americans have their own culture from music to literature to TV shows like Good Times and the Jeffersons. This is not seen as a bad thing here, it has produced many great things.

Well I'd say straight up bigotry is something quite different. Dunno what I'd do in that case, sounds difficult.

The Romans emphasized respect for elders in the extreme.

Is it really that hard to just ignore these things when your parents say them? I have Republican parents and I just smile and nod whenever they say something crazy. It's extremely easy.

It's difficult because some people do face horrific abuse and are very justified in cutting off contact. Others seem to be narcissists themselves who enjoy being cruel to their parents. It's impossible to know who is who as an out

by LordHumungous 5y ago
Yeah it does seem like many of the "no contact" people are themselves childless. I doubt this is a coincidence.

by LordHumungous 5y ago
So true.

Yeah and we still have video conferencing in remote world. I'm not sure why racism would cease to be an issue over zoom.

I don't have evidence to back it up, but I believe that the ability to use a whiteboard boosts innovation.

A while back I realized that I don't care about my career anymore: Promotions, politics, etc. I'm just going to work on what I enjoy. So far I'm a lot happier this way.

Get a job at a small no name company, gain experience, get a better job, repeat. That's how I got to Facebook.
