On the one hand, this might help fence sitters that are like “there’s no content there”.

On the other, I just don’t personally care for a stream of random images like Instagram et al do.

All it takes is one cop to be like “he was resisting arrest and I feared for my life so I had to shoot him 17 times in the back”.

I don’t like to think of people as immutably good or bad, but I get what you meant.

There’s a bunch of factors.

• are they honest?
• are they kind?
• do they care about things other than themselves?
• do they try to make the world better?

So, someone who lies, is cruel, doesn’t care about anyone else, and leaves the world a mess is being a pretty bad person.

Someone who just keeps their head down, goes to work, and is polite to people they meet is kind of middling.

41.3 / 50

Kind of hard, but partly confounded by not knowing the best way to use the sliders. Once you start messing around and seeing other colors, I start forgetting the original.

From the copy I thought it would be harder, and more people would be scoring badly, but the comments here seem to show most people near my score. But maybe only people who did well are commenting.

Yeah, I was going to say I saw almost this exact joke recently. That was the other one I saw.

Sure, could be. They didn’t have any automated checks, and I saw errors like “that’s too many parenthesis” and “you’re trying to use a library you didn’t add to the dependencies list” sail through.

So much so we fight tooth and nail to keep the cars, but once the street is transformed to something like above we absolutely love it and can’t see life any other way.

Things like this support my argument that conservatives are in a very fundamental way stupid. They don’t have good reasons. They just don’t want change for childish emotional reasons.

I feel sorry for you and hope you cna find more fulfilling work that will let you grow, but I dont’t know what the job market is like right now

Where I work, there’s really no emphasis on code quality or testing. There’s also like no mentorship or senior developers leading the way.

They hired a guy with 1-2 years of experience and I feel really bad for him. Not only is he learning very little, he’s learning actively bad patterns. No one is teaching him about automated testing. Code reviews are just “you skim it. Don’t spend more than 30 minutes”.

Management of course loves LLMs and wants more usage.

guessing there is a correlation with MAGA.

Stupid, selfish, people.

Good. Outdoor dining is great. Fuck all those cars wasting space

Reminds me of a long road trip I took in my youth. After a couple days we were basically speaking in in-jokes

Interesting. The inability to pan and walk around makes it very different. I liked “walking” around in geoguesser until I found a landmark or something, but I never played competitively or obsessively.

As others have said, working from home has many benefits

• no commute
  • save time
  • save money
  • less risk of disease and accident
  • often easier child care options
• greater control over environment
  • offices are often too hot or cold for some
  • stock own food, drinks, toilet paper, etc
• better pet access. Cat on lap. Dog walk easier.
• easier wardrobe
• several distraction categories removed
  • people walking up to your desk
  • loud meetings

The commute alone is pretty big. If your commute is like an hour, that’s changing your salary from like $x / 10 hours to $x / 8 hours. That’s a big bump. If your daily pay was $1000, that’s like going from $100/hour to $125/hour.

So as a senior, you could abstain. But then your junior colleagues will eventually code circles around you, because they’re wearing bazooka-powered jetpacks and you’re still riding around on a fixie bike

Lol this works in a way the author probably didn’t intend. They are wearing extremely dangerous tools that were never really a great idea. They’ll code some circles, set their legs on fire, and crash into a wall.

Yeah I think DND 3e had some wacky stuff with templates. Big effective level penalties if I recall for most of them

Like some variant of the paradox of tolerance, I feel like someone who does something so flagrantly in violation of social norms should forfeit their protection.

Fine, park your shit on the sidewalk. Now no one’s going to help when you’re bleeding out.

I saw a guy with a shirt once that said something like “street parking is theft” and I was really excited. Gave him two thumbs up and he was confused until he looked down at his shirt.

Many complaints against prostitution also apply to trading labor for money/shelter in general. People just have a stronger emotional response.

Emotional responses are rarely a good foundation for policy.

Prostitution should be legal with safety regulations. All labor should have protections, unions, and such, to protect them from being abused by the wealthy.

Some specific things would probably remain illegal or disallowed, in the same sense that you’re not allowed to work construction without safety gear. People can wear condoms as easily as hard hats and hi-viz vests.

Left to my own devices it’d be about $100/month.

Rice, beans, pasta, peanut butter, oatmeal, and then whatever fruit and vegetables are cheap.

With the social life included, there’s more expenses. Did dinner out last week for $60 (a nice local Thai place). Ordered a pizza with a friend who was feeling down and watched Star Trek together for like $30.

Other non-rice meals with my partner can also be more expensive. We air-fried up some potatoes and vegan “meat” last night and it was good.

There’s an app called “too good to go” that lets you get cheap food near the end of day. It’s stuff the restaurant or grocery was going to have to throw out. Sometimes you get like four slices of pizza for $4, or a platter of Korean food for $6. Seems good and not enshittified yet.

I’m in NYC, for context.

The young adult and youth experience in the UU church was pretty great. Less church-y, more interactive. I made a lot of good friends when I was younger there.
