9 of 10 recruiter emails I get have 3 or 4 paragraphs leaving me none the wiser about the company, the product, the role, or why they thought I'd be interested. At most I get a vague idea of the sector. I hate to say it, but the only o

And let me get you out the way so gp doesn't get sidetracked. Nobody needs pedantry when the subject under discussion is existentially important, and every normal person already knows what the problem is.

That’s a funny way to say cigarettes are vanishing, and weed is more legal. Stay classy, journalists.

Someone needs to coin the “We live in a society” fallacy already. We could call it the “Mark Renton Fallacy” for short. There’s no such thing as society, and even if there is I most certainly have nothing to do with it. Save for at tax time

Things that have worked for me, an introvert, include emailing former employers and coworkers, and responding to calls for help on social media including sometimes right here.

I don’t think you know what word salad is. If you do, way to use sly accusations of mental illness to discredit, supporting their point that you can’t win an argument without cheating.

I am this kind. Jeez, how old are you and how many life-shorting conditions do you have stacked against you? My strategy has always been to visit each hobby round robin. I'll spend x weeks on music until I'm not feeling it or I fi

> But the current state of discourse on this topic is a complete joke. I want to make it clear that I agree with you 100% on that much. We're more polarized this year than last year, and we already thought it was very polarized then

Just ask yourself if you dislike the conclusions or implications. If so, the paper isn't credible. I was under the impression we knew this method for a pretty long damn time by now.

This might have actually stung a bit were it not for your pattern of posting in this way. You lot are on your 4th Eternal September since 2009, by my count.

That's exactly what I said to my ever-so-slightly conscious girlfriend 25 years ago. I still feel embarrassed about it to this day. Even my long gone grandparents wondered so, socratically. A bit more constructively: I suppose if every

That's good stuff! Reminds me very, very vaguely of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vapZZdog0NI Here's a small sampler. I include one that's maybe a bit similar, the one called 'crsh' https:/

I started asking my father, a concert pianist, composer, and teacher - this question when I was 4. He explained. In my head I said, “Bullshit.” I continued to press him on it periodically until I was a teenager. I still shook my head and th

I was detained for 20 minutes for cutting across what I perceived as some empty field, 300 meters down the street from my brother's house. Turns out it was private property, and we weren't in the UK. I presume some busibody at the

Not all of us, no. Or rather, yes and no. I could as soon say to you, "At least go to Google News, search 'hunter laptop', scroll, read, and then think, if you can still manage it." 95% of you will just say "Well, t

You can find thousands of comments of the form “This is no different from…” which exhibit temporary amnesia about the devil in the details. It’s hard to know if something is a harmless analogue of something else. And too often the precedent

It is a big story on the conservative side of the ever more inflamed culture war. Few recognize it as a civil war because it’s 2022, and so is being fought with information rather than gunpowder. Mostly. So far.

We should just have the government switch between corrupt and not corrupt on a case by case basis. It’s the only way to avoid democratically electing the wrong people.

I thought about this for a bit, because at first I thought you were making up a rather insulting caricature that could only detract from your case, or at least from anyone wanting to engage with you. I've been in C++ game dev for somet

That was going to be my exact response if someone implied me a hypocrite. Lol. Fittingly I was only at EA because of an acquisition too!

I realize most have already made up their minds that VR will still be a gimmick with no market in the year 7000 AD, but I just can’t shake this crazy feeling that we’re going to sort it between now and then. My answer is VR. At least a hedg
