I owned my own company for 10 years. When the business ended, I put myself as an employee of my own company (instead of the owner).

It doesn't work anywhere. The DEI 'training' that has been thrust upon me is nothing short of racist. You can't speak up, because if you do, you will most likely get fired.

heh. This is basically 99% of companies pushed in the tech community by VC. Now it's somehow wrong?

This is the direct result of raising minimum wage. Restaurants will cut jobs and the workers there will have more responsibility. What people really want is a raise in spending power, which will only really be achieved when you learn a s

It also could be because people masked up all the time and stayed home for long periods of time. New viruses came out and they were never exposed to it. Now, many are getting exposed to lots of new viruses all at the same time now that cov

Working from an office feels like I'm in school again. I am expected to stay at my desk and only leave during designated times like lunch/bathroom breaks. I think this is why I've rejected this idea for so long. Aside from

I can see Gen Z having issues, but I'm a millennial and I bought my house 9 years ago. Homes were very affordable. Rent for me from college -> this time was also very affordable. I heard the same arguments 10+ years ago: things a

My cousin has been at the same job for almost 10 years. He's using technology that has been phased out and abandoned by most companies for almost as long (a software developer). He's also 55 and hasn't spent any time outside

I guess this is one way to force people back to the office.

This is the end result of these kinds of laws. Now, thousands of people are out of work.

I've been getting colonoscopies since I was 35 (every 5 years). It's actually not that bad. With the drugs they use now, you don't remember or feel a thing.

This just brings more criminals into the city and increases theft and more crime. Why? If you catch a thief in the act, you now have a much higher chance of a violent encounter. It's also sad that pretty much any sort of defense is i

This sounds great, on the surface. However, the default will maximize the money to the IRS and minimize the money returned to you.

Hopefully you are also technical. If not, you will need to offer something besides just an idea. I've been a technical co-founder and will only partner with someone that can offer: lots of startup capital, an inside track to the indu

I've been working remotely since 2012. I even lived in Asia for a couple of years (while working remotely). After my first couple of office jobs after college, I told myself I never wanted to work in an office again. It's work

The company I work for was acquired during the height of Covid. We had an all-hands meeting with the entire company with a 1-hour notice on a Monday. I knew something was up and wasn't that surprised. The new company made sweeping cu

Most people going shopping need to bring multiple bags home. How about if you have small kids? What about areas of the country that have winter 6 months out of the year? It might increase business for a very small and narrow demographic,

This doesn't surprise me. I knew someone that intentionally graduated with a specific major, so they could get a job in that industry and send trade secrets/IP back to China. The purpose was to create a competing company. It did

Linux doesn't have a dedicated team to make the desktop a smooth experience. I've tried it every couple of years for the last 20 years, and I always abandon the idea because it's so clunky. My best solution now? Windows as

I wanted to use it for android app pen testing. I wasn't even able to install a rootable version of Android, so it was useless to me. Performance was also pretty terrible. I'm not surprised they abandoned it.

"openly fascist" I disagree with you here. Proud boys was originally created out of the need to protect people from the likes of Antifa, which is a facist group. Most activists/hacktivists are fascists. If you don't ag

I think it's a learned ability. My wife grew up in a country that you can't really get around without knowing your exact sense of direction. She can easily remember streets and directions without much trouble. I, on the other ha

How does 'unregulated capitalism' cause SF to allow the theft of up to $1000 with a minor warning/no jail time? Another issue is high taxes in California (another left-wing idea). With taxes so high, the very rich are still

The crime is out of control. Many people leave their cars unlocked, because it will be more expensive when thieves break their windows anyway (which happens far often than in any other city). We also can't forget this: https:/&#

I once had a SW interview with a job that had a 2-hour long personality test. No tech questions. Just random questions to test my personality. It started out simple, like 'what was the last book you read' to more in-depth situ
