Summary: I'm a full-stack engineer looking for meaningful work. I'm most motivated when my code helps people directly. In my last role, I worked on systems that helped millions access financial tools, and it was incredibly rewarding. I want to find that sense of purpose again. I enjoy solving concrete problems with Go, Python, and modern web stacks, often around data or system reliability. If your company is building something that improves lives, I'd love to help.

Food banks, subsidized school meals, and SNAP/EBT prevent what would otherwise be children starving to death. As it stands though, the relief is insufficient. Many children from food insecure households have stunted growth and lifelong learning impairments from insufficient protein, calcium, etc.

As someone who really struggled to get a diagnosis as an adult, followed by medication, I would suggest trying to get a diagnosis from a psychiatrist. Go through the process and expense and let us know how easy it is. It was a nightmare for me despite having good insurance. A doctor's note for a mental health day is very different from getting diagnosed with a developmental or personality disorder.

Lastly, while people can and often do blame their disorders for unwanted behavior, we still have agency. Most disorders are manageable with treatment, and it's possible to "cure" in certain cases. Children medicated for ADHD will most likely not need medication for it as adults. Having a disorder isn't an excuse or shield for bad behavior. In many cases you can't address the bad behavior at the root level without knowing. For my case it helped me stop being so anxious I was giving myself ulcers because I had the words to describe what was going on, and a treatment plan that I saw was giving me results. I still struggle with certain symptoms, but it is my responsibility to work through those gaps, and medication+therapy have made it possible to put in that work.

For whatever it's worth when I went to university a decade ago for my undergrad in neuroscience the figure cited was "50% of Americans will meet clinical thresholds for something in the DSM-V at least once in their life". This isn't very surprising in that light. A lot of people exist at sub-clinical thresholds.

A good instance where we might draw the line differently despite current first amendment norms is lobbying.

Lobbying, at its core, is just speech. Industry leaders and representatives go to meetings (public or private) to talk to congressmen. Thus lobbying has been affirmed as protected speech in our constitutional law

The problem is money changes access. And sure we can pursue contribution limits (which is generally constitutional) but lobbyists don't actually care about those -- they welcome the ability to save money. The problem is that they are just so well-connected their speech has disproportionate weight

So you could argue limiting their speech advances a compelling interest, but you'd have to think about other factors as well

It is just true that every liberty and right has limits, otherwise they could cut the public interest or other individual rights. This is true even in the US which orients itself as largely pro-speech sovereign relative to other states

75% of that aforementioned group of white students would not have been admitted had it been based on merit. 70 percent of all legacy applicants are white, compared with 40 percent of all applicants who do not fall under those categories.

Why does the average applicant need to be penalized when their grandparents legally could not attend these institutions? I think it's pretty obvious why people have such reactions to DEI when it's literally just "legacies for people who legally were barred from participating".

That immigration is desired by all these red state agribusiness entities that receive no punishment. Curious that we're deploying thousands of soldiers to a blue state to deport... 100 people so far? When they could much more easily go after the people paying these migrants under the table. They wouldn't come here if they couldn't make money doing so. Trump is clearly a television personality and lives for the drama. Makes sense why Obama and Biden managed to deport more people during their terms.

Veterans are not getting support because Republicans vote against the bills. Fentanyl is claiming lives because both political parties sold out the American people to the Sackler family. I don't feel the need to address your "thug" comment. Most of those undocumented folks are employed. Together they make up 5% of our national workforce. And every undocumented person pays taxes without qualifying for benefits. It has been 60 years since the national guard has been deployed without consent of the governor. The last time was the Kent State massacre. It's an intentional provocation that will kill Americans, same as last time.

The US (and other western countries) dictate the price of raw material exports, and drain countries like Argentina of the best talent. They dictate freight rates. To the extent western capital is willing to invest in the country, it is to build roads/rails that take raw materials from the countryside to the ports in Buenos Aires so that a small class of bourgeois vendidos can sell out the nation's national wealth like a fire sale.

Macri is beloved by western media because he's willing to let the IMF and Federal Reserve dictate social policy in Argentina. Slash pensions, crush labor power, etc. My family voted for him and now my grandma needs us to send more dollars over so she can afford to live. Lot of parallels IMO to people on public assistance voting for Trump in the US. There were other solutions possible besides austerity.
