It also got rid of some toxic mods since their actions are also public.
I remember a Reddit powermod complaining about it after the big migration.

So it’s basically a comtinuous flamewar?

Is there a way to avoid this being directly passed on to tenants?
- Comment on Anon tries to meet girls at college 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I guess we are thinking the same thing.
- Comment on Anon tries to meet girls at college 3 weeks ago:
Occupy the same space and have group conversations instead of one-on-ones I guess.
Like, invite people to join your group instead of going out just with you, it’s less threatening and less of a “thing” I guess.
- Comment on Anon tries to meet girls at college 3 weeks ago:
I met the love of my life at a literal exam.
I think the trick to it is that you shouldn’t force any situations like this to have any sort of outcome, just keep yourself open to new people. Like set up situations where you can meet new people, and have your attitude be “I’d like to get to know you, so we can either be friends, more than friends or never meet again if that’s how it shakes out”, and just keeping it low stakes. And then just try to get into those situations as much as you can.

By taxing corporations and reversing this insane wealth concentration.
- Comment on Anon thinks there is a bicurious double standard 4 weeks ago:
TBH I think “toxic masculinity” is a shitty term for the concept. It feels like calling forced female gender roles “toxic femininity”.

I’ll be honest, I can’t imagine not being able to cry in front of my partner. It sounds depressive.

Those women need to grow up.
- Comment on Worst part about living in Europe 4 weeks ago:
I drink that and Fentimans when I do.
Fentimans or Bundaberg ginger beer and whatever Kinley sells is not even the same league.
They have taste beyond the insane amount of bland sugar.

Nah, cola is fine, it’s just that it’s American. There are quite a few awesome local brands you can drink here.

So do you have the president of the central bank steal a third of your yearly GDP while you get taxed 45% on your income, 32% on everything you buy, and also on random bullshit?
Amateurs.
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 5 weeks ago:
Some of it does, some of it doesn’t, the critique is that kernel level stuff is way more than needed against most cheaters but not enough against the most dedicated ones, and it is invasive as hell.
The best anticheat is good netcode and server side checks. You can’t wallhack if your client doesn’t see behind the walls.

I can somewhat understand but of course not support that mindset.
Imagine if you held it as an axiom that “being gay is bad for you”. Then it becomes similar to addiction in their eyes, some people are more susceptible, some people are less, but it is the role of community to keep people away from indulging as it is bad for you. The choice that is presumed by them is not one of identity, but one of indulgence, the alternative they have is not “be straight”, but “don’t do gay things”, so they want people to do what normal people call “staying in the closet”.
For them, a gay person is like a crack addict saying “but being a crackhead is not a choice, I was born with it, and this is how I want to live my life”. And they fear to let their children next to this gay person the same way you’d be apprehensive of a crack addict, because they might give your kids crack and make them crack addicts too. And if you tell them that their kids might be gay too is like a crack addict telling you your kids might like crack too; well of course they might, but it’s bad for you so you shouldn’t do it.
Now of course society should stay out of our bedrooms, but that is an axiom held by us, but not by them. And partisan politics of course likes to keep these divisions up so that you vote for the one side, they vote for the other, and nobody questions why can’t we just live our lives in peace.

Don’t give up your dreams, it’s shit everywhere, you might as well do something that interests you while getting fucked by the system like the rest of us.
Option two is to do tech pretend-work for some big corpo for six figures, and check out of the workforce and find fulfillment somewhere else.

Shareholders are interested in share prices and dividends, not volume or even revenue or profits,
They should be correlated, but look at Tesla.

I decided to finally do my masters in biotech after a decade in data engineering got me to have some savings, mostly because I did want to do one eventually.
Man, these kids don’t know what’s waiting for them. None of the companies in biotech are hiring, as in their career pages are empty. LinkedIn, Indeed and the usual suspects only throw up listings which are obviously just staffing orgs fishing for data to sell. I feel there is a similar break in the industry with the pandemic, nobody is hiring people just graduating, the barest minimum is 5-6 years of experience.
I’m seeing some of the best minds in Europe here, doing something that is both hard and useful science, I mean we just had a worldwide pandemic and this masters should be extremely relevant for that, and apparently the system will not let them work in their field.
Only way out is academics, on barely-decent, you-will-never-have-a-house-much-less-a-family wages. If they can get in to the limited number of exceptionally “well” paying PhD slots, for 40-45k gross. They may earn as much as me doing random bullshit internal tooling two years ago for a bank that went bankrupt since if they can get tenure as a full prof at a good uni in like 30 years of hard work.
This is bullshit.
