You are unironically proving the point. It means painting yourself as a victim when you are the one with the power. And yes there are plenty of negative generalizations applied to other races.

The democrats would not have been able to make the right for abortion into a law during that period. And women should not have to suffer because the republic is dysfunctional.

I’d agree with you only if it was law that hospitals must turn you away if you are unvaccinated but deathly ill with COVID. That would be a horrible thing, however the difference here is that not being vaccinated does affect other people in

You can’t target ads like that anymore, that was removed a while ago. And yes I prefer tasteful ads over 100s of subscription services that drain my bank account.

I have read the detrans subreddit. A lot of the accounts involve trauma in not being accepted in a non-cis identity. Others in not receiving enough support from either doctors or through therapy. There is varying oversight in receiving horm

Well, that’s just like your opinion man. Some of the best dates I have been on have been dinner at home, picnic in a park or at the beach, hiking, etc. Just do not attract people looking to relationships to fill their financial needs.

This is the money advice. I had an issue vaguely like this with an employer. The advice I received was, don’t tell them you have a lawyer unless the lawyer says to, don’t quit or let them make decisions for you, and if you are unsure draw t

Rofl in terms of workplace Facebook has been the best by far for myself. Given the most trust and responsibility, everyone I met was helpful, honest, and blunt. People came from wildly different backgrounds. Anytime I had a question about a

No no no you can’t replace the COBOL because then the COBOL programmers won’t have jobs. Perhaps the government should offer a basic amount of support for its citizens so that this isn’t a problem.

Ironically in today’s world betting on natural gas seems like a losing proposition. I’d feel more comfortable betting on access to electricity than I would betting on access to natural gases.

I find the distinction between step debugging and runtime debugging to be more useful. Someone who steps through every line of code will probably take longer to find the bug, and will spin cycles on rabbit holes and false paths. Someone who

Even if many companies manage to force people back into the office, I’ve met some truly exceptional people who only work remote - many the best in their field. It would be a moneyball moment where startups can destroy larger companies by ca

I don’t buy this narrative, I’ve tried in orgs which relied heavily on me (as half of my tiny team quit) and it backfired. Then I was laughed at during interview asking for a certain salary. Then I got a much higher salary than what I asked

Strongly disagree. Yes, it is not a free lunch but they have made several deliberate decisions. If you code your Go like you would C++, you are not using the language in its intended fashion. They have nice features like a data race detecto

Focus on yourself first. I’d get a good therapist, someone who resonates with you and listens to you, start exercising regularly, even a little/moderate amount helps, and find something you enjoy doing outside of work. You’re still ver

Drew can be toxic at times, and on the internet you reap what you sow in smaller communities. That doesn’t excuse the negativity but instead attributes why he is experiencing this hate.

I’m coming up to almost a decade of programming and have 100% bought into this mindset. Simple understandable code tends to be easier to change and delete. Abstractions and fancy features should have a high bar to introduce them. They can b

It is okay to feel like a victim in circumstances, just so long as you do not let it rule your life or prevent you from doing things.

You, software developer, are tasked with building a complex distributed system. Do you pick a high complexity language to build your high complexity system, or do you opt for a low complexity language do you can focus on the system? It depe

Generally I agree with everything you said. There is a subtle and important distinction here though. Encryption rarely plays a role in the distribution of CSAM, yes, but a more concerning part in my mind is the role encryption plays in the

There is a good amount of pathologizing done here in good faith. Mostly reflecting their own experiences onto this person. If I was this person I would consider getting a therapist, even if it takes time to find one that jives well with you

It’s a social engineering attack in a way. I would not blame the OnlyFans creator but I would encourage silently letting the employee who did this go with severance pay. Imo long-term, companies should be legislated into having fair ban app

This sounds a bad but imo it is a smart risk to take. They will not outcompete the payments market, but working directly with creators is something they could wipe the field with. Especially if they treat those creators well unlike some of

The stigma of medications is more harmful in my mind, I feel this deeply when I read your experience of life. The first time I took my meds, my mind was blown. It was the first time in my long life I experienced peace and quiet. Now I am ab

I will not assume what you took or what doctor prescribed it but will provide you with the advice I received from a psychiatrist who specializes in ADHD. If the medication doesn’t work or has side-effects, try a new one. Find a doctor (or m

You can do great work at big tech companies. Sometimes startups and big tech are like two tribes and each group likes to pretend they are better than the other, but in reality everybody poops. There may be a time you want to go back to star

If you want to see the TERF mindset, and I recognize that the word is thrown around too easily, check out Lily Cade’s speech against trans people. It does advocate for violence. There are also very real statistics and accounts of violence a
