I mostly read lounged on the couch, long ways. Sometimes in bed with pillows to prop me up.
I mostly read ebooks and highlight passages in them. For physical books sometimes I’ll take a picture of an important page I want to reference later.
Not sure what you mean by “hard books”. I do have a bad habit of reading too quickly and not fully retaining everything. The last book I (re)read was House of Leaves. A classic. Highly recommend.
Unpopular opinion: Masculinity doesn’t exist. There’s feminine things and then there’s everything else.
This seems to be a roundabout way of coming upon the idea of, like, defaults and privilege. Like how people will say the there’s “sexual orientations: straight and political”
Most Republicans value in-group solidarity more than things like justice or truth. So no, not unless Trump somehow becomes out-group.
Maybe if we start a conspiracy that he’s actually Jewish… No, that’s like trying to use The One Ring.
Neat.
Also when you scroll down on the page, the background gets more red. Is that a subtle “we’re turning more communist” joke? (Ok, it says linear-gradient(180deg,#e2f3ff,#ffecd9), which isn’t really red)
Conservatives value in-group solidarity more than almost anything else. Feels good in their brain.
You’d probably be an asshole too if you came a little every time you yielded to authority. That’s how their brains work.
We are lead by the emotions of idiots, and the greed of monsters.
We have leadership who do not understand how work gets done. They don’t do work like their employees do. They don’t code or do code reviews.
What makes me even angrier is how easily everyone accepted it. We could have pushed back. We could have simply continued doing our jobs from home, they can’t fire everyone. Instead, people just complained but complied.
This also frustrates me.
There’s no labor organization or solidarity here. Some people are afraid they’ll lose their job and then suffer. That’s a real fear, because this is the bad place
But some people are just spineless
I suppose. But I remember old games came on multiple disks.
I also think that chasing every higher graphics has reached diminishing returns. Style counts for more than fidelity, I think.
No.
not forget how easily Republicans fall in line
Their belief in hierarchy is core. Drives everything else. They’re bad people.
I guess? But imagine if enough people took a couple minutes to post about how organization XYZ sucks, and (because the stock markets are irrational vibes based) that caused their stocks to drop a few points. That’s the only thing they care about. I’m willing to put in a few minutes if it might emotionally harm an asshole.
I should ask the local pizza shop owner about this. He was pretty anti zohran. He said it’s because he grew up in a post Soviet country, and believed socialism would turn into poverty for all.
I was going to write “this depends on the ATS used” but I thought that was a safe assumption. Seems not so!
Tried to submit one and it didn’t seem to go through.
My hypothetical is a lot of recruiters are kind of bad at their job, but there’s so many desperate candidates that they don’t need to do much to get passable results.
A hiring manager told me when she fills a position, it automatically sends the email to the other candidates. It’s not a human touch.
I think it’s undeniable there are a lot of very stupid people, and many of them are loud gamers.
One of the problems is humans are social creatures. Facts don’t change minds. In-group pressure changes minds. (And sometimes horrific trauma, but only sometimes*). The typical person, confronted with an idea that contradicts a non-trivial belief, will evaluate primarily if the person presenting the belief is in-group. The same kind of message delivered by different people has very different outcomes.
With the Internet, idiots and assholes can find their own social groups to reinforce their shitty beliefs.
If we want to fix this, we’d have to do the long, expensive, and thankless work of getting them to see us as in-group, and getting them to then adopt better ideas. Incidentally, that’s how the right wing has been operating.
Laughing at them for being fucking morons is satisfying, but it’s like picking at a scab. It’s not going to heal.
I’m a professional software engineer. You seem to have drawn at least one nonsense conclusion
Everyone I work with who uses LLMs more than a little bit hasn’t gotten better at coding. They’ve just made bad code faster, with even less understanding.
It’s something like a catch-22. The people smart enough to use them effectively don’t need to. The people who aren’t smart enough will misuse them.
Conservatives tend to believe in different rules for different people. They don’t really believe in equality
ICE and all of their supporters need to go.
