I mean I’m stirring shit because the former is actually useful but java and JavaScript are both shit so they’re not wrong.

My main job is supporting ServiceNow. I understand JavaScript now far more than I should. It’s a garbage “language”.

Say what you will but that fucker loves them OLD lol

I appreciate them saying this but NFP need to get their own house in order.

Be the change you want to see then?

I’m in Canada but also a very diverse group of people around me at all times. I make it very clear with everyone that politics aside, I have all their backs regardless of race, colour or creed. Differences are what makes us stronger not weaker and anyone who is afraid of differences shows themselves as weak.

Let’s be honest. Knowing American history this fits. Of course it’s just a group of thugs. That’s what America is. There’s no organization. It’s just hate.

I hope I’m wrong too btw

Speaking as a Canadian and repeating a comment from a few days ago that was in a different context.

If Trump/US invaded Greenland.

Pollievre (leader of Conservative party) - “yes Daddy invade them!”

Carney (leader of Liberal party & Canadian Government currently) - “Canada is alarmed by these actions and will continue to work collaboratively with its international partners to find a solution.”

We all know the Liberal response is the better one but it still means absolutely jack shit.

It used to be free with less of a barrier to entry than postgres

I fully expect, when Trump invades Canada, to see PP tweet “yes Daddy” while Carney will tweet “this is unfortunate and we continue to work with our allies on better solutions”

Both sides are fucked but only one of them is full on retard. As a sane voter it’s frustrating.

See and I disagree. Musk is a piece of shit yes but he’s merely playing the game better for a large variety of reasons.

My point being, the game is not the problem. The problem is assholes. This happens in capitalism. It happens in communism. It happens everywhere. The problem is not the system the problem is assholes.

Adam Smith would be rolling in his grave if he saw what became of capitalism.

To be young again 🤣

Don’t hate the player hate the game

At what point was I defending the system? I make damn good money playing the game and I do my best to lift those around me.

But the system is rigged and I have neither the time or capacity to fix it just like everyone else. It will have to get a lot worse before it gets better.

But to think that you can just airdrop into a different system and not participate in the on youre in? I stand by what I said. Fincel. There i coined the term.

Like we have a choice with society. I love calling peers bootlickers because they are trying to survive and possibly having more success than you.

Hate the game not the player. What’s the economic equivalent of an incel?

Killer Mike get off Lemmy! Lol

I’d elaborate. Experiment with drugs. Youth is to experiment do it safely.

I’m 48. I’m going to expend many of you here are white men much younger than me.

Some words if advice.

1. Have kids young. You will never be ready. There is an old expression, “In for a penny. In for a pound.”. Either you like the idea of kids or not. If you do, don’t wait just do it.

2. Romance. African women are 🥰. If they’re part of the Diaspora and like me you tend to be more if an introvert the juxtaposition can work amazing.

3. Don’t forget the forest for the trees. Yes the world is on fire. Yes things are increasingly bleak and hopeless. Enjoy life. You have family and friends and they are still important and mean something. Cherish that.

4. Everyone makes mistakes. What’s important is do you learn from them and how do you recover?

5. Comparison is the thief of joy.

6. Be different. Be contrary. Challenge. If everyone jumps turn around and look at the person telling you to jump but don’t do it blindly.

“If only women could be young tight assed boys” thought the Republican lawmakers.

So the colea notes is in the old world DB was how it was setup. You paid company a set amt of money and they set you up with x dollars a month for the rest of your life.

Fine when boomers are a massive cohort propping it up via sheer volume alone with people dying younger.

We started living longer and surprise future cohorts are not massive like the boomers. That means the model of DB is not economically feasible. Around the world from left and right countries you are seeing this. Public pensions are being rewritten and people are rightly angry but you cannot sustain the model.

This is why the collective move to DC specifically when it comes to newer employees. What you get is tied to what you put in.

Granted my parents are poor and have no pension but no, I don’t want their pension i didn’t earn it.

If you meant having similar structure pensions as in defined benefit vs. defined contribution you’re damn right but they’re not fucking sustainable and that’s why we are in such a mess. To make our parents or grandparents pensions sustainable requires a hell of a lot more investment in them and/or shareholder greed to fuck off and companies re-prioritize their wealth accordingly.

Both of those solutions are a big LOL.
