Yeah, it’s untenable. It’s a bubble

They are sometimes? It’s just gene and expressions. You can be short and wide just like you can be tall and wide, it be either and be slender

Understandable, but it’s something to work towards. Talk to people you know about it, you’d be surprised how opportunities come out of the woodwork

It will take time, you can either go to networking events to try to speed it up or keep chugging away in a sustainable fashion in the meantime

I think it would be situation 1, but American “Christians” are already actually rejecting Jesus for being too liberal already. I don’t think they’d notice the hypocrisy

Of course they are, they’re full and doing great lol

I might be starting one soon with mostly family… It’s a long shot, but I’d interview you then the time comes if you want. No promises

Find a partner. It can be a person, it can be a small business that might be interested in selling your software… You need at least one partner

You could try to take out a business loan or keep grinding as a side hustle, but if you don’t know how to build a product (and I don’t mean architecture) you need someone who does

And I say it as someone who has come to that realization the hard way

The world doesn’t have to go on forever, only 5 billion more years

They’re genuinely just not that recyclable. And that’s fine, they’re still really helpful

I think it just really matters where you were. In the Amazon? It was a huge food forest with an enormous river right there, not much gathering required

In African savannah? Well, now you need to do some walking, and hunting probably isn’t optional

Nope, they put them in big graveyards

There’s diversity, where you have a lot of different types of people, and then there’s places with a high concentration of a minority group

The first one makes people less bigoted, because you can’t avoid dealing with people when they’re everywhere. Your not going to last long in NYC if you don’t want your food touched by them. Either you deal with it and get used to it, or you’ll find it hard to eat

The second one doesn’t force those normal human interactions. Instead, you have exposure. You see them around, but don’t have to treat them like people. You might not interact at all.

So every time you see them, it reinforces the racism

You see it all over the American South, people around the black communities aren’t less racist, they’re giga-racist

When shit hit the fan, they just super calmly looked around, and said “That’s a bit boring.”

Yeah, that could go badly… If people think you’re not taking their emergency seriously, and it turns out it’s not a quick fix, they’re probably not going to be very happy

I do find redirecting them calmly to be even more helpful. Just don’t let their panick infect you, and start working the problem normally

That usually calms people down instantly, because it skips the part where they have to convince you there’s a problem, instead you just skipped to giving them what they actually want

That’s called tech illiteracy… It’s a bad thing

Let me break this down real simple.

Everyone likes boobies. Literally all humans, even gay men and straight women, find them asthetically pleasing

The women bouncing around are complaining about their shirts. They don’t feel pretty, they feel creeped out

Don’t fucking drive them out… Are you insane? Let them pick their own shirts. They’re still going to want to look pretty. Stop making it weird

All you need to do is give them autonomy. That’s it. That would make it positive for everyone involved

But that’s exactly what’s happening here. The women in question are saying “I’m uncomfortable”

So now we don’t go “okay, but just make sure you stay fun to look at”

What we do is say “that’s not good, let’s give you agency over the situation so you can show off what you’re comfortable with”

The men just move around less, their plays are tighter and more rehearsed looking, but I just don’t find that very interesting. I don’t really care if you can perfectly spike the ball to the optimal place every time and they can recover and do the same until someone messes up the sequence

But women’s volleyball is full of movement. It doesn’t look rehearsed, the teams look coordinated. They’ll pass the ball around while they prepare and then suddenly surge towards the net for a spike/to block the spike

The intensity ebbs and flows, and it’s unpredictable when it’s going to happen

That’s individualistic bullshit.

The collective is what matters! It’s the whole point of all of it!

You can’t do collective action independently. It doesn’t work that way. A million people marching separately is just a million people going for a walk

You have to have a group. It doesn’t need hierarchy or organization, but it does need an immune system. You need bad actors to fall in line or be expelled. You all have to point in the same direction, even if you’d rather be a little more to one side or another

Most women enjoy being beautiful, and there is no downside so long as people aren’t taking it to crazy lengths.

When the women you’re looking at are saying “I’m uncomfortable with this”, you’ve taken it too far

It’s not that hard buddy. They’re people, they can talk

I like women’s volleyball. It’s genuinely better than men’s, it’s way more dynamic

I’m not going to lie about how my friends convinced me to go initially, but it’s one of the few sports I actually find interesting to watch

Because it’s a farm subsidy.

You thought it was about starving people? Fuck no, that’s basically coincidental, it’s for the farmers! You know how they get when they don’t get endless subsidies
