But it's not bad for everyone, because as I just pointed out, it provided a lot of women the ability to work and achieve financial stability on their own. For unmarried women, there is no cost, only benefits.

Framing women's ability to work as being bad for men is indeed a pretty weird framing in my opinion. > Doubling the number of job applicants didn't do anybody any favors during salary negotiation. It seems like it might have do

Isn't the real sexism against women still ... sexism? If a woman wants to be a mother or wants a successful career, that's the most valuable/noble job in the world to that woman.

> Of course, since '46 capitalism has demanded women enter the workforce to compete with men and drive down wages. That is your words and is a weird way to frame women working.

This is a weird way to frame women working.

Unfortunately this was probably pretty close to reality for most women in the timeframe that this author was writing this in.

Wait, isn't there still a huge industry of self-help books focused on relationships and romance?

A superb writer. My favorite story of his is Hell is the Absence of God, which I think is one of the few science fiction stories to actually engage with religion in a meaningful way.

I left for NixOS instead of upgrading to Windows 11. Honestly it can play anything I can throw at it. Including FFXIV which has zero official Linux support. And it might play even better than it does on Windows. I wish I had migrated way ea

Is it weird that people are into continuing tech drama?

Well yeah it’s all federated. There’s no guarantee your replicated posts will ever be deleted from every server they reach. It’s also the Internet. Don’t say anything on it you don’t want archived forever.

Worse on security in what sense? And yeah they’re a tankie… but just don’t federate with their servers and problem solved. As far as I know their license doesn’t require adopting their political ideology to use their software.

No, they stormed the capital because they've been fed a steady diet of lies and misinformation. Appeasing them does nothing but insulates them in their fantasy bubble. It's time for them to return to reality.

How would we be able to tell the difference between that and what's happening now?

This is because the MLM/anti-vaccine market penetration into healthcare professionals (nurses especially) is unfortunately really high. As it turns out, not even a lifetime of training and knowledge can prevent being suckered by grifte

Thanks for the response Mitchell, and I love your work! You make an excellent point re: abstractions and consistent workflow. But for Terraform, you still need to know the underlying provider; to use Terraform in AWS I have to know what AWS

I always love HashiCorp products! But... This feels like Otto v2 to me, and it seems like it hasn't actually solved the underlying problem with Otto: that it was simpler to just use and learn the underlying tools instead of a very spec

“White nationalism” is an inherently racist concept. Not all nationalism is though. You seem confused that adding the word “white” to nationalism makes the whole phrase mean something else entirely. Maybe consider the context of who uses th

“White nationalism” has been synonymous with segregation and genocide essentially since the inception of the term. I guess if you care really hard about that particular phrase this is a tragedy. But there are ample other, less fraught ways

"Loving your country" is not "white nationalism." You're the one trying to redefine terms if you believe it is.

Surely you see there's a difference between a Modest Proposal and posting a Facebook comment suggesting someone should die with no other context informing people it's a joke?

Yes indeed! Those views inherently advocate for the genocide of non-white people (and even some people who are white but are "degenerate," like gay people, trans people, Jews, or whatever ethnicity they believe isn't sufficie

Pro-ISIS speech isn't illegal but it's still banned. Pornography isn't illegal but it's still banned. So the legality argument here isn't particularly compelling. > Perhaps it shouldn’t be up to them, or you, or
