   This is good advice - I always struggled but managed, then one day I just broke. Decided to do the thing everyone says and get some help. The therapist after a session was suggesting autism and some other stuff mixed in, because of the inte

   I remember in grade school so many in the class being inspired by her, then as I grew up every time I encountered her on television or in print she was equally inspiring, empathetic, and informative. I will miss her.

   The fact anybody can listen to him speak and walk out thinking "HELL YEAH! THAT GUY!" is sad.

   "...obvious monetization path that they just can't not take." Sure they could. This notion that an unscrupulous revenue stream is justified if it pays well enough smacks of "Just following orders!" "It happens

   I don't know how people without adblockers tolerate the internet. When I show them one, they don't know how they did either.

   This makes sense to me. Also, sometimes complaining isn't a sign of unhappiness - it's a sign one has standards and the self-esteem to stick up for them.

   Blogging about this makes you seem ostentatious about not appearing ostentatious. You might want to stop worrying about bags and start worrying about how you actually present yourself (or stop - depending on where your issues lie :P).

    I have to remind myself Star Trek TNG starts with the crew being put on trial for the crimes of humanity and the terrible fascist court they're in is from the show's vision of a more immediate future than the one we were watching

    I mention this when this comes up - my personal view is that it has to do with saturation. At some point being in computers became a 'good job' once that happens a field still has its curious people, but they're not as visibl

    This strikes me as part of the disease of thinking like a tax payer and not a citizen. It's about the service/resource availability, not the money. And your system seems to create more perversion than what you're reacting to

    Sometimes there will be a loop that's tough to break out of where the "Contact us" tells you to talk to a chat bot before putting in a ticket or showing you a phone number, and the bot won't be able to help but will spit

    One of my favorite things about Feynman interviews/lectures is often his responses are about how to think. Sometimes physicists ask questions in his lectures and his answer has little to do with the physics, but how they're thinki

    I think about this a lot, because I feel it too. Some of it seems to be a result of these "higher callings" becoming just jobs. The closest example is how I'm often perplexed that so many people with "computer science&qu

    Smart enough to see it, smart enough to understand it, thinks we're dumb enough to not realize he and his ilk helped it along. These men yearn for the pyre.

    Or they're doing it right and someone else is doing it wrong, often the wrong thing appeals to business as the wrong thing is quicker and higher profits. Not saying that's the case with Germany, but it sure doesn't feel like
