I've given up on reddit since their redesign. I know there is the `old.reddit.com` trick you can do, but I can't be bothered. Is there a non-reddit reference to this "Internal Family Systems" thing? I'd be intereste

I live in Iowa. At least in my peer group people seem to be doing pretty well. From my perspective here, Millennials aren't having any harder of a time integrating into society than anyone before them did.

> "poor" people (less than $100,000/year) How anyone making $100k can be considered "poor" is beyond me. No wonder everyone on the West coast thinks being a Millennial sucks.

Off topic, but for the longest time I thought "Fintech" referred to tech companies based in Finland or Scandinavia more broadly. Those have a word, don't they?

Trump has a 50% approval rating, so I would guess there is some level of overlap between the two groups. Probably a fairly small overlap, but it almost certainly exists.

Python has the same "rightward conditional" thing. Any time I use it, I wish python had just gone with the normal ternary (? :) operator.

Pretty sure I added a lint rule to pylint the other day that will do just that. I imagine emacs has a pylint plugin. Basically you add a linter that overrides `visit_callfunc()` and make sure it's not an async function being called.
