I'm 100% sure an AI grifter will see this and start creating blogposts with AI-generated images of handwritten text.

And he ended up... creating frameworks himself. I fail to see the whole point of the article tbh. It's a rant against JS frameworks/libraries and the frontend in general all to end up admitting he did the same?

What do you do if the manager enables it?

It's basically a scheme letting less scrupulous people offload work on others while at the same time making good impressions to manager, PMs and CEOs who want to automate our job and fire us.
>Inflation expectations were strong and justified. Government deficits were out of control. And the population was truly ready to bear some pain for the sake of reform

We went from 25% inlation where prices changed every single week to discussing whether the government will be able to lower inlation from a monthly 2% (still high, o course). The goal post was moved but I'm just glad not to have prices change every week, it was complete madness. And the 2% is the average, of course, you can find some prices the same as they were 2 months ago.

Never had a really good trip on mushrooms, I really envy all those that can enjoy them. I always end up digging up the worst traumas and feeling no reason to live.

I've stopped trying to use the quotes operator because it clearly started ignoring it many years ago. It's very frustrating.

It also has the typical annoying dialog open 2 secs after opening the page.
To those who are in our 20s and 30s they just answer "be a capitalist, become an entrepeneur, use GPT to build a business".

Never have seen what the answer to people in 40s and 50s with family who can't do a career reset. I guess they'll just have to take a huge pay cut and deal with it, I don't know.

I'm starting to think some people really _don't_ mind weird old dudes in tunics groom their kids.

>There’s routine cases of institutional actors like teachers and their unions trying to groom kids into being “trans”, without talking to the parents.

Can you cite more than one example when and where this has happened?

Unironically this is how most of the first world thinks while expecting us from the third to completely change our lifestyles and don't we even dare to try to develop the same way you guys did.

People express this pattern many times in history because it was indeed better to live in some eras than in others.
You sound pretty envious.

>Many of my (completely average looking) friends have found success in online dating, but they’re not broadcasting it to the world. They also avoid talking about it with people who are struggling with online dating because those people don’t want to hear about other people doing well.

Are they really _average_?

They are already pretty resentful at us because we have such high salaries compared to the rest of the population... I bet that nobody is willing to give any penny more to their IT departments
The mental gymnastics here are astounding.
>Leftists are forced to lash out at the false definition of civility that lets people say "I dunno, trans people are icky, let's just not let them pee in public," but doesn't let people say "that's fucked up, where are trans people supposed to pee then?" Because these counter points don't get platformed nearly as much, either because of conservatism or, cynically, because what they have to say is less surprising / offensive / infuriating and thus they won't generate as much attention / clicks / eyeballs / outrage / engagement.

They just want us dead, literally, read it a hundred times. Whether is being killed or suicide, it's the same. Sadly we are an absurd minority (<0.2%) and the tides are already turning for their relief. I gladly don't live in the USA, I would be planning to leave if that were the case

Re:Against Homeownership on Tuesday December 20, 2022 @09:15AM (#34066170)
I've read the first paragraphs and skimmed the rest, not gonna lie. But for what I understand it speaks mostly from an investment point of view.

I've been renting for 3 years, and I want my own place to do whatever I want regarding building around/inside it, not having to deal with the owner, things that break down and don't certainly belong to me, not having to deal with arbitrary rent raises (and the huge stress of having to move out somewhere else) to etc. etc.

It's not just an investment thing, it's about having something of your own instead of living in someone else's property and abiding to its desires and (rightfully so) conditions.

Being trans myself, I start to feel that the tolereance upward trend I noticed while growing up has stopped and even coming down in some cases/niches. I started transitioning in 2020, live in a relatively tolerant country like Argentina but feel that it's not like 5-10 years ago. IMO it has to do with the global economic downturn and political polarization, I think there is a correlation between tolerance and wealthiness

Social status is indeed cultural, but the search for it comes from deep instincts found in a lot of other mammals besides us. Trying to go aginst the search of a higher social status is trying to stop gravity.
Re:Plaid Layoffs on Wednesday December 07, 2022 @11:33AM (#33896393)
I honestly think they are starting to use a template or a generated text via some kind of service like ChatGPT
What does this have to do with the article?
Re:Intentionally Making Close Friends on Monday November 28, 2022 @12:27PM (#33776465)
You are describing ways of getting acquaintances/just friends, the article describes ways of deepening those friendships such as paying more attention to questions that lets you better know people, I found it very helpful, it may come 100% naturally to you, but not to all of us

>Do you mean that sex is a product of a degenerate society?

They never even hinted 'sex'. Probably sex work, from people who in other times had other job opportunities besides selling their body online.

>Do you mean that sex is a product of a degenerate society?

So, answering your question, widespread sex work, yes.

Re:No Cure for Loneliness on Sunday November 27, 2022 @04:46PM (#33767328)
I think she clearly compensates the alone aspect of her travelling by having a 1.58M subscribers youtube channel with 500k~ views videos. I am not saying this COMPLETELY replaces face-to-face interaction, but I bet travelling without videoblogging and receiving feedback+receiving attention from thousands from people around the world would not be the same...
"Adjective. parasocial (not comparable) One-sided (especially of a relationship, as for example between celebrities and their audience or fans)."

In which way organizing a raid via (say Discord or whatever communication way you use) coordinating efforts towards a common objective and, in some cases, meeting your teammates offline is something parasocial?
