Re:“We’ve Changed the Game”: Teamsters Win Historic UPS Contract

Taking your word for it regarding HN not liking unions. Why is that if you know? What's the alternative for a UPS worker to get fair pay and fair working conditions?

Thanks for writing that up! I disagree though, I prefer the processor.process for clarity, and for not adding another way of doing things that regular methods already do.

I find that __call__ is very confusing, but maybe because I'm not used to seeing if often.
What is the benefit compared to having a method named "add" that also explains the behavior?

It's not that they are delusional, it's that they can't prove it. They don't have evidence, they have faith.

But based on your answer you are also making a delineation between "blogspam" and for example someone posting a story about discrimination for being gay (for example).

I feel like you're giving away your stance here with the "weird home lives" comment in relation to being openly gay. And I don't mean that I want even more personal stories to LinkedIn, but posting vacation pictures is hardly equatable with posting a hardship story about being gay in the workplace.
Being heterosexual is a privilege since it's the norm, so you don't have to worry about it. Being gay on the other hand can be dangerous, even life threatening depending on the country.

That also comes with a lot of downside though. Their overconfidence means that they wade in to topics they have no actual expertise on and force things that are unviable.
