I phone screened for a game dev position. The ad said about half my salary. It was going to be a big sacrifice. Then on the phone screen they said 10k less than that.
When I sounded concerned about money, I think that killed my chances. “Tell me more about this profit sharing” was almost certainly the end. It was for the best.
It’s always easier to completely rewrite code from scratch than to make small modifications to an existing project.
They absolutely, 1000% need Democrats to win. Maybe not their respective districts, but if they want to get anything done on a national level, they need about half the country on their side, and that includes Democrats.
Now, they can certainly eat the party whole, the way the tea party and MAGA ate the GOP. That involves being more specific than “Democrats bad”. In fact, how did they do it? Did you ever see them telling people to abandon the Republican party?
I use it as soon as it’s clear what it means. If there are multiple turns, that might be four seconds so that they don’t expect me to turn early. I’ll typically hit it in the middle of the intersection of the first turn.
If there’s no earlier option to turn, I’ll absolutely leave it on for 10-15 seconds.
Sometimes you even get to show off the cool, useful shit you built for them!
Vance could be relatively good. Signs point to no, but those signs are weak. The only thing I truly know about him is that he’ll lie for power. What he does once he gets that power is anyone’s guess.
He’s close to Peter Thiel. His book is really fucking condescending towards the rural poor. (Why don’t they just get out like he did?) He’s young enough to go for a second term if he gets half a first term. And he hates Trump except when he needs to use him to gain power.
That’s the complete record of what we know about Vance. Maybe his book was bullshit that he knew would play well with rich conservatives. Maybe he was using Peter Thiel. Maybe there’s a human in there we’ve never seen. Or maybe not.
No, not in the US. Here it’s absolutely about fear of Muslims and Iran. It’s about keeping them oppressed and controlled in an effort to prevent terrorist attacks. A lot of it is also just plain racism and skin color.
Sometimes I’ll copy paste the error message back to them. Apparently it works better when it’s in a text message.
Yes. It didn’t help that we spent 50 years saying not to discuss politics or religion.
But the current situation was largely a coordinated propaganda effort, likely combined with blackmail on politicians. Possibly caused by the hacked emails. Both the DNC and RNC were hacked. Only the DNC side was released.
You just left out 281k third party votes.
Here is the bullshit article (that sounds good).

One of the claims is
North Carolina is the most extreme. The public results indicate over 350K voters cast a ballot for Trump and no other race making up over 11% of Trump’s voters in NC drop off votes or bullet ballots.
https://apnews.com/projects/election-results-2024/north-carolina/?r=0
Donald Trump: 2,898,423
Kamala Harris: 2,715,375
Jill Stein + Chase Oliver: 47,000
Total: 5,660,798 roughly
Governor: 3.069m + 2.241m + 280742 = 5.60 million
That’s not a difference of 350k.
They did not cheat in every single state. The results were a similar swing in every single state.
They did it through propaganda and social media. They didn’t tamper with the actual results (this time).
Don’t call wolf unless there’s a wolf. This is a thing we need to learn from and we need real facts if we want to learn the right lessons. We lost this election because people didn’t vote.
I know what article you’re referring to, and it was bullshit. Bullet ballots and all sounded great, believable. Evidence with easily verifiable numbers.
But when I went to verify those numbers with actual election results, they were all bullshit. Swing states did not have the bullet ballots numbers he claimed. There was no big discrepancy between swing states and the states next to them.
Well, sweat it. Sucks that you wasted 8 great years.
But yeah, 25 is young. Get your shit together and do what you need to do to live a fulfilling life.
There’s still a difference between “heading” and “already there”. Not as much of one as I’d like, but still.
Afaik that’s mostly FUD and was debunked.
I’m still not happy with Mozilla throwing money down the AI toilet.
Could be an older monitor, too.
There was a time when that would have been recognized as sarcasm.
