I believe the answer is “A lot of Americans”.

Doesn’t matter, company will just try it again later in some other way. The decision making process that went along with trying to change the monetary model under the feet of developers is still there. The greed.

Corporates gonna corporate I guess.

And for them to both be eclipsing at the same time, crazy odds… or, dare I say it, astronomical

I might be the only person not playing it at this point 😂

Tough and getting tougher, we’re releasing a major system into live usage in 2 weeks and we’re nowhere near ready

I usually go into hard ignore mode. Actively go out of my way to avoid them.

If you show any friendliness then you can end up dealing with being told they have a boyfriend, being called a creep or other names, making them uncomfortable because they’re obviously on the receiving end of unwanted attention regularly etc.

Just way easier and less stress to give a wide berth.

A once off time rewind by 28 years.

Pump the rage into their veins, that’s the ticket. Can’t possibly go wrong, and even if it does it wasn’t us.

OK, maybe it was us but it’s not that bad. Ok, it’s bad but who knew?

OK, we kinda knew, but that monetization tho!

My student number from many years ago. My last 2 credit card numbers. Have some digits of pi memorized, useless to daily life.

I like Kamala. You have a real shot at taking Trump out with her. The stakes could not be higher. Maybe for the world. He is a truly dangerous person.

I wonder if I can get the next statement out without venom coming back at me, but I’ll say it anyway:

I think you guys should try hard to steer the rhetoric away from anything polarizing (race or gender), and do everything you can to create inclusion (from anyone). I’m seeing a lot of things like that, and I don’t think it plays out into more support. And there’s nothing more important now than maximizing support.

Yeah, people will make choices and they are free to do so. We can’t control everything, only our own reactions.

Letting go is healthy, holding on and fighting forever isn’t. It’s funny, the wave of division almost feels supernatural in a way, but I put religion down quite some time ago.

Hard to go down new paths sometimes, but great times lie ahead.

Sorry to hear all that. I can understand the pain. In a similar situation, members of family and one friend got sucked into deep conspiracy theory mindsets and now every conversation is just about that. Consumed and obsessed, it’s like nothing else exists.

And it looks like there’s no slowing down of misinformation cancer. I wonder where we’ll end up.

Wow. That was intense. Relieved you’re in a much better position now!

Yes, I use it to generate code that I run at home. Also generate a ton of icons that look amazing, and content for a game I am working on.

I’m getting a lot better at not being so serious all the time, it’s difficult but possible to change oneself.

I’m going to visit my sister soon and I haven’t seen her in years, she doesn’t know I’m coming so will be a fun surprise.

Maybe. Someday in the distant future someone will invent a technology which can validate bold theories like that. Whoever gets that right will be insanely rich.

You’d be able to post on a forum and have a validated rank 5 snuggler badge or something, and everyone would know you’re pro. Go on talk shows, maybe start a product line of high performance pillows.

I could go on, but there’s an insane sandwich here that’s staring me down

How is it possible you’re the only one talking about snuggling and cuddling?

Everyone else doing it wrong or something.

I’ll add star gazing. For me that’s an insane relaxant.

This is a great idea.

I seem to be lucky and get a clean shave in about 3 minutes, just hot towel on the face for a minute and then sweep using a 4 blade Gillette.

Maybe twice a week.

Shareholders don’t care about anything other than a rising share price, and one of the ways to get that is through cheap labor.

Responsible operation? Don’t make me laugh.

And just to be clear: They’re not responsible for those crimes themselves, no sir. No way.
