Lately it almost seems like there's a competition to see who cares the least about children. As though giving any thought to their well being is some kind of unwarranted "won't anyone think of the chidren?!" hysteria. To

I try not to use any jargon at all when communicating to non-dev stakeholders, and they still complain about jargon. Words like "server" or "database" are not jargon. There are literally no other words to use for those t

With that schedule, were you able to do much in the way of networking? That's part of the 'college experience', and is often cited as one of the greatest benefits of going to college.

Asians are overrepresented among high achievers. That does not mean that the reason for this is because they are Asian. Anyone who has taken Stats 101 can tell you that. Replace 'genetics' with 'astrological sign' and yo

I'm glad it worked out for you. Didn't for me. Going to college is probably the worst decision I ever made.

And my point is that it doesn't matter. Companies censor stuff all the time. Reddit can censor whatever they want.

That's their prerogative though. They can be capricious if they want, and you're free to not use the service if you don't like it. Reddit is beholden to their shareholders, not their users.

In the past, people getting really mad at ISPs has not changed anything. I don't see any reason to believe that people getting really really REALLY mad is going to change anything either. There's no mechanism for it to.

I didn't say the free market is a problem. I'm not a communist; I like the free market and I agree with your comment. However, like you said, it's not a free market and it won't be for the foreseeable future. Fantasizing

>there will similarly be a revolt by customers. ISPs already do incredibly unpopular things, but it doesn't hurt their bottom line because their customers don't have other provider options. What are they going to do, go without

Short answer: it's a Reddit community full of idiots. More relevant answer in this case: it's a term frequently used as a cudgel to shut down conversation. It's a fallacy of association, and thus can be safely ignored. "

>>In online games like League of Legends, we do not say that whales are the customers and the players are the product We don't? Seems accurate to me.

100% agree. I hated it. It was expensive, stressful, and unrewarding. My loans won't be paid off until I'm in my mid 40s. I feel like a sucker who fell for a scam. It's objectively the biggest mistake I ever made. I'm su

I guess I've avoided crippling disillusionment because I never expected a job to be fulfilling or whatever. It's a means of providing for myself and my family, that's it. The idea that it's supposed to be more than that

I don't have much to add to this discussion, except that this is why I never respond to workplace surveys unless I'm required to, and even then, I say what I think upper management wants to hear. If I'm unhappy or unsatisfied

Unless you're a billionaire there are always going to be things you can't afford to do. For many if not most people, having enough passive income to live without having to work would be a dream come true.

Nope. 1) Walmart doesn't pass savings to consumers, it passes them to shareholders, as they have a fiduciary obligation to do. The "lower prices" thing is just marketing; WM's prices aren't particularly low once the
