i was unemployed for a while, and got a number of 'overqualified' rejections. eventually i ran out of money to pay the bills, and was a few weeks from being kicked out onto the streets... when i finally managed to land somethin

well, the reality is being honest can get you sued. that's very expensive. to me it's understandable from a risk aversion angle.

i'm not sure i follow your reasoning. is canadian a different "race" than australian?

i've also seen plenty of underqualified people that developed "attitude problems". i think it's a bit sketchy to equate ("over")qualified with opinionated.

what kind of memory and performance footprint does the webview imply? is it similar to using electron, to some extent?

intellij is swing and it looks decent. i think it's because most people don't spend any time on appearance.

technically that happened ~10 years before the cold war ended. at that time, both sides were understood to be engaged in various less-than-friendly activities. post-cold war happenings are things worth focusing on, imo.

i don't know what you mean by 'truthful'. it's not wrong, and it's simply a nod to possibility, as that wasn't even the argument. this is just a waste of time on a tangent so someone feels like they had some

i said there was a nonzero number of people who might identify as literal nazis.

by abiox 9y ago
and the vast majority of 'punched nazis' have not been nazis.

by abiox 9y ago
this doesn't address the argument. people who say it's okay to 'punch nazis' are the same people who hit people with bike locks, assault people, destroy property and torture people. all you have to do is label a person

well, 'communists' aren't a specific political group that are tied to a particular time and place. a 'communist' is broadly one who supports 'communism', often as described by marx. is there a nonzero num

i'm curious - was that always the extent of the conversation, or was there ever a 'it's sexist because ... ' part that engaged your reason and changed your mind?

who is 'they'? i can imagine that there is a nonzero number of people who might label themselves that way, but for any given label you can probably find at least one person who might use it on themselves. what i mean is that &#x27

i suppose it helps that nazi party was abolished in 1945...

this is equivocation. nazis were a german political group. they were a member of the axis forces which fought and lost against the allied forces in ww2. that group doesn't exist anymore. so-called "nazis" that people refer

i'm sure there are more complicated reasons, but for me personally, the last time i messed with it (a few years ago) the toolchain was clunky and the language itself was dull. hopefully things have improved!

what do you mean by "get triggered"? if someone downvotes trashtalk, does it necessarily mean they "got triggered"? are there other explanations?
