Spot on, the best cure for burnout isn't a cure at all, it's prevention.

The real result of this is aggregators appearing, which present a unified interface to all banks, hiding the implementation details under their own interface. i.e https://www.neonomics.io/

> Humans and animals are not equal. It's simple as that. I don't disagree, but if that's the argument, then make that argument, instead of nonsense about being raised for slaughter.

I'm not arguing for veganism here, but your reasoning seems very flawed. If being born and raised for slaughter makes that slaughter justified, then would it be ok to kill and eat humans if they were born and raised for that purpose? T

You're really overstating how hard it is to learn to program. I'm a woman who studied physics and astronomy at university. In my final year I taught myself programming in my spare time because I was interested in it, and knew the

I don't think it's an indictment since it's a clear tradeoff. Yes git isn't intuitive or self explanatory for newcomers, but that's only because it's optimised to be maximally efficient for experienced users. T

I think the problem is difficulty defining bullying. Fighting is easy, if you hit someone then you broke the rules, but bullying has a much more blurry line. At my school there was some attempt to crack down on bullying, but instances of bu

I know this is not your writing, and you just stumbled into this, but I am also intersex and am going to call that author out on their BS. Sex assignment is the official term used for designating a sex to all babies[0] not just intersex one

Contrived hypothetical: It's tuesday evening, and I'm updating my to-do's before tomorrow. I have 3 hours after work, and 3 tasks: 1) A meeting (Important Urgent) 1 or 2 hours 2) Buy a gift for someone's birthday (Import

Is there something in particular necessary about animal protein, that it gets a distinct category from just protein in general? It also stands to reason that if that many people really are dependent on fish, it will be devastating to them w

Urgent does not mean the same thing as important. Urgent tasks can be important or unimportant, but what makes them urgent is that they must be done soon/now rather than later, or that their value drops greatly if left to later. Armed

Telling someone you're going to kill yourself if they don't date you is clearly just trying to be friendly. I too am autistic, and it does not excuse this behaviour. Yes people should have compassion and patience with neurodiverge
