• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Elon Musk is also an idiot. He thinks he’s smart enough to quickly understand complex situations and complex problems about which he knows next to nothing, within just a few minutes.

  Most people would only try to claim that level of understanding in areas with which they have professional experience or about which they’re extremely geeky. He does it with everything, and nobody can be an expert in everything, and everybody knows that except for narcissistists.

  I suppose for non-tech people it might be convenient to assume that because someone knows something about some kind of tech, they therefore know a lot about all kinds of tech, and the reality is that’s just not true. There are so many fields that are totally different. But if it did, actually he would look even more idiotic, because Twitter is a train wreck, so clearly he’s incompetent in tech field, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mainstream media's face when Trump dies of a hamburger heart attack and they have to go back to reporting like they used to.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There already is a ton of great media out there, but many people are not looking for it. If you’re trapped by the US news cycle, start reading international news. It doesn’t solve all the problems but it solves many of them.

  And more to the point, consumers have been willing to pay for subscriptions to newspapers for decades, and they’ve gotten burned by it. You’re saying that money is the answer, but it didn’t work before. It’s not working now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mainstream media's face when Trump dies of a hamburger heart attack and they have to go back to reporting like they used to.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They started reporting badly in the 90s (Fox News), if not decades or centuries before that. It is on the consumers to consume better media. The companies that failed won’t fix themselves, ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When they say they got your back, that means they will stab you there.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never heard an HR worker pretend to care about me, lol. Those jerks are at least too busy to pretend. Integrity of a sort, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would you buy a flagship phone? It sounds like you want not that. And not that exists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even California can't say no to prison slavery.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even California? California is really big on that, last I heard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember that they accurately believed the DNC were horrible. They stopped Hillary. They stopped Biden and Harris. Good for them? Kinda, not really though.

  … We know Trump is worse. Far worse. But they saw a legitimate threat, a group of people who were not going to make their lives better, and they took some kind of action to stop them.

  And then lots of bigotry. Can’t forget that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This has everything to do with past presidents. They all wanted Guantanamo Bay to stay open so they could torture and imprison people. They did, and now Trump is.

  It’s not like nobody could have predicted this. It’s not like nobody told them, “You should stop torturing people, stop imprisoning them there, and close the place down.” … In fact, they all heard that advice and ignored it, because they were happy to forget about human rights.

  Of course Trump is doing terrible things, and this is one of them. But he’s not the first, and he certainly won’t be the last. And what you wrote about Kamala is on-point, but you don’t even see it, do you. Would she have closed Guantanamo Bay down? Of course not. Because she feels the same way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gitmo should have been shut down two decades ago. Torture, waterboarding, “advanced interrogation techniques” … don’t think we forgot about that. It’s a shame that no American president had the courage to close down dirty military institutions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HR leaders are worried about a potentially dangerous workplace sentiment combo: burnout and engagement⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not surprisingly I learned nothing from the article. They said that when people burn out they might apply for jobs elsewhere, so make your company look good. If anyone else caught anything significant, feel free to chime in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't think they understand. We're interviewing them too.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. That makes the original listing a red flag. But sometimes you take a chance and go to the interview anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agree, I felt the bad effects of FB around then. It was just so pointless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UUGGHHHH pick a lane !⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can bet that he feels he belongs in that cultural elite class, under the old and new standard (whatever those may be).

  And I have no idea why he’d want that, but he is sure it’s valuable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Par for the course⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would speculate the opposite. I imagine he always believed this shit but was being politically correct (i.e., saying things to appease the public that he didn’t actually believe in)… This is common enough in the tech sector.

  (But if course you could be right. Only people who hang out with him would know.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your facts are not what OP wrote, though. And in this context the facts are relevant, which is the point.

  Bad red herring.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I pay someone to add a specific feature to an open source app?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  $20 is not worth the time to plan anything, let alone create it. Just consider the hourly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The surprises found just moving a mattress⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Three, quite possibly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sometimes I forget to hold the vodka tightly enough.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You need some new vodka. Priorities please.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disgusting money driven mindset⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ask for salary in writing, always. Usually email is easy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think billionaires fear losing their fortune and becoming "a poor"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not worded like that. A lot of billionaires, probably all of them, are evil narcissistic fuckheads. The narcissism does the heavy lifting. They can’t imagine themselves being poor, and they certainly can’t imagine themselves being the kind of poor person that they despise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets a job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  reasonable for who, exactly?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Generative AI is a Parasitic Cancer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course most of us talk about the industry, not the technology. Which is to say, you could talk about the tool, but most people aren’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disgusting money driven mindset⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  IKR that money belongs to you, not to him. He doesn’t deserve a cent of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the deal with male loneliness?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What exactly are you talking about? Men who feel lonely sometimes? Men without friends? Men who are not having sex?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe, just maybe, a company that refuses to give you time off if you have a bullet inside of you is a really really shitty company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t make this shit up. Reality is so horrible, especially with mega corporations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm seriously proud of this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t get paid to care about spling

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh well...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Right. If everyone is super supportive and there are never emergencies or vacation scheduling conflicts, this all works. And the rest of the time, you end up having to deal with bullshit that the bosses should be handling. And hey, if your workplace is magically different from most others, and nothing ever gets funky, great!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh well...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Rare exceptions are interesting,and the law still applies to nearly everyone nearly all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do drain unclogging liquids actually do?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Right right except the chemicals have worked very well for me a dozen times. Never failed, in fact!

  Clearly it depends on the situation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh well...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What are you talking about? If the government didn’t require paid leave, you might get … none of it! So the mandate actually makes you … checks notes … less controlled.
