About half the time it ends with a happy ending attempt.
Wait, what?
You tell us: what is that like. How do they offer? Is it verbal? What do they say or do?

- Comment on Does the USA have gifted schools or was Spider-Man Homecoming lying? 2 weeks ago:
They’re not for geniuses. They do exist. They’re called magnet schools.
Basically it’s for people who actually want to learn
- Comment on Does the USA have gifted schools or was Spider-Man Homecoming lying? 2 weeks ago:
Yes. I went to a magnet school.
This school had both normal classes and magnet classes.
I was very intimidated by the magnet classes, so I never applied until my last year. When I did get into the smart classes, I realized they weren’t necessarily more difficult. The biggest difference was that the kids who didn’t want to be there and constantly distracted the class were absent, so we were able to get more done every day.
I was pissed that I wasn’t in those classes sooner.

ADL and Southern Poverty Law Center has some lists, iirc. Also useful for identifying hate symbols.

- Comment on How hopeless is getting a job with a CS degree? 2 weeks ago:
The world isn’t monolithic. Some companies will take decades. Some companies have already realized the harm and have started fixing now
- Comment on How hopeless is getting a job with a CS degree? 2 weeks ago:
I’d say just get a partime internship during Uni, not before.
Or volunteer with some open source project
If you graduate with 4-5 years of experience, you’ll be head and shoulders above your peers in the interviews
- Comment on How hopeless is getting a job with a CS degree? 2 weeks ago:
The AI wave is creating a huge amount of tech debt
There’s going to be a huge surge of hiring humans to untangle and fix the spaghetti code in coming years.
- Comment on AI applied to hardening systems might cause US intelligence agencies to lose a large portion of their surveillance capabilities. 2 weeks ago:
I do see a problem in people deferring their opsec decisions to AI systems run by corporations in the US.
That’s like lazy copy-paste-into-your-terminal-as-root, but from an NSA honeypot website that installs a backdoor
- Comment on is it weird to have your own religious beliefs system 2 weeks ago:
Emma Goldman said that 80% of people are followers
You’re not weird. You’re just not a follower like the vast majority.

- Comment on Is there a point to the Straight Of Hormuz? What is the difference between the Iranians having it than the US? What does it mean for the average joe in either country? 3 weeks ago:
Lol wut. Controlling supply lines is literally a militant strategy.
Yes, Iran can defeat the US militarily in the mode east. Just like how the Vietnamese defeated the US in Asia.
- Comment on Is there a point to the Straight Of Hormuz? What is the difference between the Iranians having it than the US? What does it mean for the average joe in either country? 3 weeks ago:
One of the biggest threats to most species on earth is the climate catastrophe.
This straight is a major shipping route for oil.
It doesn’t matter who controls it, but it’s best if it’s closed. Or the fees to cross it are ad high as possible.
We can’t afford the cost of allowing oil to be sold.
