Totally. After reading your poorly worded screed on geopolitical ethics, which itself was a random and inane response to a comment mocking that exact type of behavior. Too rich.

I will now go listen to the words of a bloodthirsty fascist. Thank you for the advice.

Cool man, can you please just pass the blunt.

Thank you. Scrolled for 10 minutes through predictably nightmarish comment wars for this.

An object lesson in civility in 2 comments.

I am (un)lucky enough to live in an area where I don't have to decide this. People are willing to say it out loud.

Wait these regulations haven't created total perfection? Better burn the whole thing down.

The whole conversation is about the novelty and usefulness of something that doesn't exist in the mainstream. Those who are skeptical can eternally say "show me more examples". Maybe your critique isn't as useful as you think it is.

I take this point but would offer that the culture you reference is also quite real. By contrast, in southern cities you will find some of the most impassioned progressives you’ll ever meet. There is nuance.

Note: only in situations where it likely matters a lot.

Thanks.

These people show up, offer trivially incorrect or untenable solutions to the trickiest problems. Rarely do they have the insight that fixes them. Often they do things that introduce more risk.

This is a bullshit take considering the amount of pressure put on the average worker and their family in the US.

And in software youre going to have to close a ticket or two that piss you off. You want to chase bugs into the sunset and never deliver new features? Cool, see you in Japan bro.

Absolutely this. Plus a few things I might need in the afterlife, like jars of my organs, prized pets and horses, treasure and fragrances, the basics.

this will likely be downvoted … just shit posting as I know what the term means and was quite involved with this as a lucrative hobby ~03-07 and never knew a single player to describe marking a soft player this way… and datamining was the biggest buzzword before cloud

I’m sorry, but once you type the line ‘There's good bullshit and bad, necessary bullshit and not’ you are no longer saying anything meaningful or enlightening. Words are not supposed to be bullshit. That’s the general issue with this take.

These came out when I was in 6th grade and were the hot new nerd toy for a few months. A handful of kids had them and the ability to text message students in nearby classrooms was impossibly cool. They became pretty disruptive as whoever had one had a group of kids huddled around them, pretty sure they were eventually banned by the school district (and were not easy to hide)
