  • "This is so dangerous!", laments the woman driving directly into a Critical Mass bike ride

    Jump

  • It is not.

    Cars follow the rules of traffic. This means you know basically what they will do. These people are just a mob. Look at how many of those bikes just cross solid lines. This is no where near the same. We can't make progress if we start acting irrationally.

    Also, cars don't drive on the wrong side of the road into traffic and through red lights.

  • I'm with you. I get this is a protest, but I don't protest gun violence against kids by parading them down a firing range. Taking up the whole road can result in you getting hurt, it doesn't matter what should be our what your ideals are. It's a road for cars and behaving like this increases the chance that someone gets hurt.

    On top of that this does what every protest that interrupts traffic does, makes people dislike you and your cause.

  • DA says 40 UnitedHealthcare execs got bodyguards, and one dyed her hair after Luigi Mangione killed CEO Brian Thompson

  • That's a really long way to say Capitalism.

  • I work in tech and I don't like what AI is turning into or how it's being used. But saying it's only getting worse is just wrong. Many hurdles in generation, comprehension have been overcome. Context windows are growing in orders of magnitude. Cycles with different logical approaches can be applied to the same prompt. I mean just topically you can look at the quality of deep fakes over the last 3 years.

    We can hate it, but let's not let that blind us to reality.

  • Biden dismisses Trump inquiry into his cognitive decline as a ‘distraction’

  • Damn, he still talking about Biden huh. Rent free.

  • This is not that level of reasoning. This is basically 4 < 5 if they're both over 6. This is introducing fractions.... It's not that deep.

  • Marty ate more than Luis, that was she lie, in the problem not the answer. That's if the teacher is saying the answer isn't right.

  • Yeah but can you blame people, really?

    There's one party that wants to actively destroy the county and everyone in it, with a mob voting for them.

    Then you have the other party that will sit back and watch it happen, but not actively help it quite as much.

    I mean fuck. I don't like the second option but I want to prevent the first one because it seems worse.

  • clearly you value climbing a corporate ladder to increase your salary

    That's not at all true, and I feel like people with this very casual stance on a career think that everyone else is that way. We're not. If anything I feel like we just can think beyond the short term.

    Let me ask you, this person that lives this life, are they still working at 70? How much do they really have left to invest with these breaks? What if the market has a down turn when you're on vacation and you come back to a job market you can't get a foothold in? How is your 401k really looking with all these breaks?

    My goal is to not work a day after 45. I have taken many vacations and enjoyed my life while working but I plan to never answer to anyone after 45, just live my life for me. The rest of my life without worry and with security. That's what I work for, not climbing a ladder. Security and an exit plan.

  • She didn't win, are you OK grampa? Are "they" upsetting you again?

    Jump

  • Man, these comments show me that it'll never happen because we fight with each other just as much as we do the right.

    The right are mindless drones but they can all work in the same direction at once and I think we're missing that.

  • I think this misses that a lot of people "are Democrats" simple because the only other choice is Republican in our 2 sided system.

  • I was curious. I knew software dev would be in there and it's my wheel house.

    Engineer/Software Dev/Normal Office Worker. Do good work at a no-name mid-sized company for a few years to build up good working relationships and tribal knowledge. Leave on good terms with a handshake agreement that you can return in a few years as long as they still have room for you. Call it a "sabbatical".

    So he worked for a few years first. Not the 1-2 years this has talking about. His value is relationships and tribal knowledge, neither help him get a job at another company if the no name company goes under. Left that company with nothing but a promise that you might be able to come back... And if he can't, welp that's going to be rough.

    This seems line a VERY unstable future.

    Also if these people are making 6 figures in 6 months I don't see the govment helping them with Healthcare. And living in a van it doesn't seem easy to have a network. Raising a kid like that also seems kinda messed up, they don't get to develop those social skills...

  • If I was looking at a hire who only gives a year I'm thinking that's a big investment to get them up to speed on our tech, train them, and start getting them projects only to know they're going to bounce. Not to mention provisioning tech and tools for them. I think experience and a company willing to hire you becomes the issue if you do this too often.

    Stem jobs aren't a spot where you want to be losing your talent every year, it's hard to push forward with that. I see companies avoiding those hires honestly.

    Also, how do you advance and make more, if that's what you want, without working somewhere long enough to grow. Self education helps, but practical experience is needed.

    If I were them, just be a freelancer. It gives you the freedom and you're your own boss.

    And you expect me to think you know anything about tech lol. Go back to trolling stack overflow like a good script kiddie now.

    Calling out cringe game references in your comments.... You gotta still be in highschool.
