Joke? Ah, yes, a joke.

Calling something a scam can just mean they profit off highly immoral behavior or are inherently deceptive. Loan sharks are scams. Pyramid schemes were scams, even when they weren't illegal.

Leading comma is nice in SELECT statements because you can comment toggle individual lines. Indenting your code to make it more readable is basically what anyone with room temperature IQ does automatically. A lot of these other tips look li

This seems like a rhetorical question, because it's as simple as a buyer going to something like Zillow and clicking through houses. Realtors are on their way out.

Thanks for the reminder, I did get surprised by several local laws despite having a realtor familiar with the area. I speak from experience as a buyer who did all the work and indirectly paid a parasite a lot of money to cost me even more

I've heard people say realtors can point out issues like a leak in the ceiling, like you mentioned, but they're not inspectors and the good ones are quick to admit that they're just offering their untrained opinion. That&#x27

My realtor was worthless. I picked the house, picked the inspector, and then just had to find a realtor in the area who wouldn't bumblefuck it up too badly. He still managed to somehow cost a lot of extra money by moving extremely slow

I'll try anything to get rid of realtors. They're the worst form of rent seekers, and it requires no real skill or training other than a certificate that I could purchase with a highschool diploma, taking one class, and passing a

That was a show trial. Surely you have a better example?

That's completely unrelated. Maybe we should just abolish the law entirely because it gets misapplied sometimes.

This is a bad excuse for drunk driving, which everyone knows is wrong because of the risks involved even most of the time you get home without killing or maiming someone.

It's not violence if it's the state doing their duty to protect the public. It's just called force.

Does it really surprise you that normal, law-abiding people don't like criminals? Them being allowed to re-enter society at all should be seen as a privilege.

Do you think anyone would be willing to bet their life that this guy isn't going to victimize someone else when he gets out? Obviously not. We don't have to gamble with anyone else's life either to see if he's going to k

No, I don't think I'll be telling nice sounding lies about web development.

That's convenient, right? AI will be more than perfect and also be able to be imperfect if you want it, it'll just do anything you want. Here's a better prediction: Almost no one wants to listen to whatever low effort trash g

The fact that people so many have to be explicitly told they have no expectation of privacy by people online kind of proves that opposite, that the average person does expect some natural right to privacy and has to be instructed otherwis

That's fair. I was also trying not to be dismissive. It's just a fundamental difference in how we see work relationships.

Who else am I representing? Of course I'm representing myself, these are opinions and I'm saying them, which makes them my opinions. The difference is whether you get to force people to go into the office because that's how y

It's primarily some mental blocker in the old that prevents them from connecting things online to their real-life counterparts. It's like being illiterate and insisting that no one else can read those strange symbols. I'll of

I can't imagine having to get close bonding from the office. One of the benefits of WFH is that you spend less time around people who happen to get paid at the same job as you, less time commuting, and more time with people you choose

I wonder if this is meant to be ironic because this behavior is exactly what was being criticized. You just picked one specific detail to focus on and ignored everything else.
