By the way, I'm a goofy introvert myself, so I hope people don't see that as an insult or anything :). COVID-19 might've made remote work mainstream, but I don't think it will fundamentally change the way we interact wit

Only goofy asocial types think that you can actually replace actual human interactions with virtual reality. Would you rather actually meet your friends, or have your virtual avatars meet up in some fake VR world?

I don't think I've ever seen anyone saying that Go is supposed to be good at writing bug/race-free multi-threaded code.

Yeah, this is pretty much meaningless without taking power into account.

It's nice to see the hypocrisy of the people who run these companies, who on the one hand virtue signal with all the woke nonsense externally, and yet behave immorally internally.

It is the sexual act itself that makes it special, which is why I'm against simply abstracting away all jobs to "using mental skills and body parts". A client of a hitman also pays them to use mental skills and body parts. Ho

There is clearly a difference. You can pretty much tenuously claim that every type of job affects your body/health in some way, but there is a difference between doing manual labor to being literally f*cked in the ass. (Had to use the

No you may not. You are once again confusing people who rent out their time and those that rent out their bodies (prostitutes). You are really clutching at straws here trying to make prostitution morally equivalent to every other job in the

My posts may seem harsh because I am frustrated by peoples' lack of understanding that being able to work as a sex worker is a *privilege* (to borrow a woke term) that poor men simply do not have. A poor man in your position would have

Yes, this is pretty much how it is being used in C code. The other acceptable use-case is breaking out of nested loops. There's also `setjmp()`/`longjmp()` but that's even more rarely used.

People who give blanket rules such as never to use `goto` clearly do not understand where this idea comes from or why it should not be used. Many years ago in my undergrad I submitted a programming assignment in C which used `goto` for clea

It sounds like you are from Germany? I don't think that prostitution will ever get destigmatized. This hasn't much to do with the media, and more to do with human nature. Men are usually wary of sexually promiscuous women, and wom

If you don't want your daughter to become a whore, then why are you wishing it upon others? There is social stigma for prostitutes in pretty much every society. As the other poster's example shows, even in Germany where it is lega

At least a woman can take the easy way out and become a prostitute. A man has no such "luxury". Society does not pity weak men the way it pities weak women.
