As someone from a working class background, I find your use of the term "lower class" problematic. It suggests you somehow perceive me and my ancestors as beneath you, or that we have less inherent worth as human beings. We prefer

I used worked for a relatively well known type foundry. Font licensing still has a hangover, pretty much all foundries license by user number or organisation size. Having designed and/or mastered quite a few families, my opinion is the

If you prefer JS, that's perfectly valid. But it's worth noting you can adopt TS incrementally, you absolutely do not need to define a type for every little variable. You could pretty much write an entire project in the same way a

I make what I consider OK money in the UK, but the US is on a totally different level. I can only assume we're undervalued here!

If "girls" was defined in the dictionary as "a group of people", then no, I wouldn't care, not in the slightest. I wouldn't try to convince others that the dictionary was wrong, or that some definition I subscr

I can't say I agree with your reasoning of why some people think this type of thing is an issue. Also, your screenshot—I’ll assume unintentionally—has the plural definition hidden. google: define guys -> https://i.imgur.c

The name William has no commonly accepted or used meaning apart from as an identifier. I have no problem calling anyone by whatever identifier they choose, so long as they aren't asking me to apply an incorrect definition to that word.

I don't know where you're from but where I live "guys" is a completely neutral term for any group of humans. My wife used it today on a call to three other females.

Good for you for making the effort. I mean that honestly. You're right that free range is a complete bullshit term. Cruelty free eggs is unfortunately also a difficult one as far as I can tell. I can only speak for the UK but here it s

Right, and until they solve all those problems and implement these efficiencies, a very easy way to make an impact on an individual level right now, is to not eat meat. But I understand it's easier still to just propose solutions that

Certainly left-leaning. I've heard Stephen Bush (their political correspondent) is quite reliable on Labour issues, but I don't read it much these days. It went right down in my estimation in terms of journalistic integrity after

Out of interest, why did you want a different answer? Do you think "diversity hires" don't exist? Whether they do or don't, it doesn't have any bearing on the "diverse" people being hired on the basis of t

The Spectator is usually classified as centre-right. Amongst my peers ("creative" millennials in London) that makes it a bit of a non-starter, unfortunately. I think it's a mostly respectable magazine with a high degree of jo

Great to see. The Raphael court has always been my favourite single room in the V&A, I always make time for it whenever I visit. The scale of the cartoons is brilliant, you feel very small looking up at a five metre wide tapestry in suc

The other comment gives a good overview, I'll try to elaborate a bit. I worked for a few independent studios that a lot of design students would think were up there in terms of reputation. We did work for cultural institutions, museums

I was raised in a similar way, and I have mixed feelings because I essentially ended up taking the path of least resistance. There was no pressure to do anything in particular, so I cruised through school doing as little work as necessary.

I agree that banning people from platforms for no reason isn't cool. But what do people honestly expect from Facebook? Running ads in the first place is contemptible. Basing basically your entire business model on running Facebook ads

Depends how you look at it. The European Parliament is ethnically pretty homogeneous, for example. The figures are hard to come by because the EU don't record ethnicity AFAIK, but in 2017 there were approximately 17 non-white MEPs out
