I promise you, there is very little improvisation or "jazz" in the U.S. Army and a lot of micromangement and bureaucracy. The experience is more akin to being in a massive company with tons of middle managers who are always lookin

What is this implicit assumption that DNA index = power? Power to do what? Identify you? They already (try to) do that! A DNA index is just a superior authentication mechanism, one that would involve a lot less suffering for those being ide

Is the TSA the FBI? They're not looking for perpetrators, they're looking for terrorists. I promise you the US government has a vast database of biometric information of suspected terrorists. The fact we all have to suffer thru te

Exactly! If we had a DNA database we could quickly clear people as innocent. Instead we rely in inaccurate authentication measures like birthdays and names and photos...hence endless suffering. DNA would positively or negatively identify pe

Wait, WHAT? How are people going to use a DNA database to commit genocide? How are these people going to be killed en masse? What would stop someone from using the same method without a DNA database? This argument makes no sense...the thing

Sort of the way white people dismiss the problems of black people. Easily. For example: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/26/us/supreme-court-ruling.h...

Right, because the lack of DNA indexing stops cops from racial profiling now. Cops already check your ID to see if you're related to any known criminal! Literally, this "nightmare scenario" you're envisioning happens eve

This will be an unpopular opinion but we should index the DNA of every citizen. The two objections are 1) exposing genetic health info 2) foreign countries can identify our spies. For #1, I have news for you: insurance companies already bui

LOL OK. If anything this kind of frivolous, nonsensical argument you're proffering here undermines the rights of the LGBTQ community, allowing conservatives to easily dismiss their actual meaningful concerns as liberal hogwash. So, ple

LOL, OK. You go ahead and make how we use pronouns on software Q&A websites "the most prioritized problem" right now -- definitely makes sense. Women face real harassment in the tech every day, I see it firsthand. If you'

I don't follow. If we apply degrees of severity, urgency and closeness to the two problems the use of pronouns on programming websites does not rank as severe or urgent relative to...almost anything else in the universe. But please, sp

If you want to have a meaningful impact, go volunteer at a soup kitchen. No, seriously. Spend a day at a homeless shelter. Help with the disabled. Arguing about pronouns is, in fact, dumb and no, it does not affect the software engineering

Oh really? So if you had an open chest wound you'd say, "Worrying about bleeding to death is specious. There are always mortal wounds to worry about. That doesn't mean I can't worry about what color my fingernails are&qu

60 million starving children in Africa. Something like 25,000 people die every year to war. The US president, leader of the free world, is facing possible impeachment. And what are we worried about? Pronoun use and codes of conduct on softw

This is one of the only non-misogynistic responses to my comment (IMHO). If you're healthy and have hobbies and socialize regularly finding a romantic partner is not only easier but also less important because you have a rich and fulfi

Says the person who, when confronted with objective evidence that defeats his argument, refuses to accept it. Male elites do not run every single ultra race out there, obviously. Why should they? A course record is not a world record, and t

Say what you will. I would have preferred to have stayed with my ex-gf. Internet dating is not fun for me either, but again I'm not looking for sympathy -- just to tell you that the hypothesis people are advancing seems correct from my

Burner account to describe my experience. Late 30s male software developer - my long-term, live-in gf dumped me a few months ago and I got on the dating apps. Holy cow. I get dozens of "matches" every single day on Bumble and Hing
