That is depressingly insightful. See also: the internal war on everyone who isn't a middle-aged white cis het man (and even some of them, too). Just negativity all around.

What really brings me down it's the certainty that even if that is guy was suddenly not there anymore, there is a whole gaggle of like folk ready to continue that same rhetoric. How do you even dig yourselves out of that?

I have commented stuff like this before, and gotten it deleted (or gotten summarily banned). I have been searching for spaces where this sort of discourse is even allowed, where non-vagina-havers get to say that many men suck but it's not only their fault and they certainly can't fix it in a vacuum.

What mates you think I was overkill to replace a ceo?

🙂 Thank you for bringing up a fun memory.

I have not heard of Uplink (nor Bitburner). But I really recommend you try skynetsimulator.com - I am not affiliated, yadda yadda, it's just a fun, free, online game.

My sincere apologies, Mexico is definitely on the good list.

...and simply agrees to never, ever, set foot in North America.

I'm in.

Not sure, though, how this ploy would work out for our fine fellows in South America, Mexico, and Canada, the ones currently belabored with being the closest neighbours to The Wastelands.

Honestly, great teachers would have given you extra credit for that work (and possibly used it for future semesters, but let's not get carried away here).

Eh, 80% of what this Dan fellow provides can't be all that much...

Precrime wioll haven be here.

Perhaps this is all just highly refined British humour?

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy skips lightly over this tangle of academic abstraction, pausing only to note that the term “Future Perfect” has been abandoned since it was discovered not to be.

It would be hilarious to see random civilians being casually followed by a policeman (policeperson?), overtly and cheerfully "nah mate, you haven't done a thing. I'm just here to watch. For now. Carry on."

Really, you'll get proficient in no time. The trick is to go all in with touch typing, no hint and peck!

When I was in my late 20s I spent one low-activity work week transitioning to Dvorak. I have used it for 20+ years now (although it's a bitch to get working on subpar OS'es).

You can maintain both skills, but I chose to let my qwerty skills fade - now I only use it on mobile (because, I loathe typing on glass and so swipe whenever I can - and swiping is hilariously useless with Dvorak because it's so well laid out).

I'm not sure if I posted this, but I figured out they have seeing 50k users, and 1:10 gender ratio - although that doesn't say how many are real people.
