There's a lot of us neurodivergent folks in tech because it suits our needs better than a lot of other fields, and a lot of us just love technology

We're more prone to being LGBTQIA+ than neurotypical folks, scientifically documented

Makes sense tech would have more trans folks as a result, we pad the numbers a lil bit

This is of course a generalization and actual ND/LGBTQIA+ presence is going to vary based on job, location, how insufferable management is, etc, and not all NDs are LGBTQIA+ and vice versa.

Investors are such emotionally led beings

It's just setting up a keylogger so it can help you when you suck at your new pirated game :)

"Why doesn't this just work I never had this problem on Windows!!" leaves no necessary information to troubleshoot

Vs.

"I have this specific and obscure workflow I use with this one package nobody has heard of, I perform XYZ action and after I ran pacman -Syu I'm seeing that the application is segfaulting and leading to this call trace..."

Five page dump of dmesg

"I mapped this to line 748 of the Linux-Zen kernel source file can somebody help explain how I can work around this?"

No responses for eternity, thread archived

Trump sues someone, loses, wasted time and pays fine

Trump gets charged, loses, pays fine/legal penalties

Trump talks out of his ass, gets sued, loses court battle, pays the lawsuit

This is entertaining, more please, I want to see his life erode into a neverending cycle of paying out the people he's harmed and getting his time wasted with court cases until he finally dies

Eh there's a difference between a job that can be accomplished with on the job training and the right soft skills, vs a job that requires a degree or apprenticeship or something similar

Ultimately it depends on liability and how replaceable you are if your employment terminates. Not that that mindset is a good thing, it's still exploitation, but that's the thought behind it.

Masonry and farming can be complex tasks requiring substantial training too.

"Guy with shit circumstances decides to buy a gun and decides to go somewhere with the gun and decides to shoot undeserving people with the gun, it's society's fault"

Way to blame the victim anon. No, this was his decision. I know folks who have life shitting all over them and it doesn't make them want to kill children and families.

Classic Republican playbook, start shit and then project it on the enemy to make them look bad

At the risk of un-funning the meme, this is hard as hell. Took some health issues to snap me out of it and start taking care of myself. I know some folks that aren't stopped by health issues. Food addiction really sucks and erodes your willingness to deny it. Consent is a small part of the picture, though important.
