Oh hi. I’m actually trans. I’ve already been beat over the head by conservative relatives with “see even democrats think trans folks are stupid”. Which is why I posted the original comment.

While I understand we want to point out and ridicule hypocrisy, let’s not make this a thing please? Trans folks in this country get enough shit without Democrats piling on too.

Someone want to do the calculation for how much this cost the average American taxpayer?

I don’t want AOC to run yet. She’s got a long political career ahead of her and folks tend to bow out of politics after they’re president.

This meme is pure math vs applied math in a nutshell (from the view of an applied math lover)

Funny, no mention of late stage capitalism

Finally, we can all come together

in our hatred for Star Wars

I actually argued with a group of (cisgender, white, straight, middle-aged) men that I was gaming with at the time that there were a lot of black folks claiming that early orcs were based on racist black stereotypes. They said the black folks were “being too sensitive” and that the accusation was “absolutely ridiculous”. Like there’s not an issue with claiming that maybe the makers of D&D were a little racist. Like just make sure we’re not leaning into it now.

There are some days I’m convinced Biden is a psyop trying to get Trump elected. Like we all got reverse Pied Pipered

Look at you, communicating with a purpose. I’m just trying to make my essay 1500 words

I wonder if it has anything to do with Russia

Yea, my bad

Not saying it’s excusable, but I’m guessing he was exposed to a lot of Trump propaganda being in Russia and all

1: read the post 2: that’s still a ridiculous price

Integration with their other products. And I’m too old to enjoy fiddling with stuff anymore.

I think “ankylosaurus” is misspelled. The only reason I know that is because it has always been my favorite dinosaur.

I’ve worked on supposed “Agile” teams that operate this way, and worked on an Agile team that actually work ridiculously well. The biggest issue with Agile isn’t the philosophy, it’s when management starts using it to cut costs. This comment is what it turns into. Notice that every single one of these points lower cost. But one of the main assumptions of Agile is that the workers control the work, managers support the workers. The places I’ve been where Agile didn’t work it was because management was unwilling to buy into this basic assumption, then use Agile as a crutch for not giving the team what they needed to be successful.

The one successful team I was on that was Agile, the entire group of around 12 worked directly with the customer, and our manager’s role was to ask “what do you need”. It was hands down the best dev role I was ever in (before I became a teacher).

It’s not entirely wrong. There is absolutely a bias in what gets studied simply because it requires money to be given to study most things. For example, it’s why some more natural remedies like taking fish oil to help lower cholesterol took so long to have actual scientific backing; there’s no money in widely available remedies so finding funding to do the study was difficult.

You can see this really clearly if you look at more politicized areas, like economics. And for what it’s worth, it doesn’t mean that the evidence that’s generated is bad (although the conclusions drawn from it may be), but that it results in a lack of evidence for opposing viewpoints.

Apple Music. Their algorithm isn’t the best, but they have everything I want and they pay artists better than Spotify.

Israel wouldn’t do that. They want to give the beachfront property to American politicians as a “gift that’s totally not a bribe”
