Some guy on the street asked me if I knew where the nearby salad restaurant was. There was only 2 ways this could go. Either he wanted a salad for lunch. Or, as you suggest, he was testing me. Was I apart of this fabled salad group or one of the forsaken "others"? The pressure was on to say the least. I don't normally believe in a higher power, but I said a quick prayer for help to get me through this challenge. I gathered all my strength and told him "just a block that way" as I pointed down the street. Now, I could only wait for what felt like a millenia. Finally, he let slip the words "cool. Thanks" as he headed in that direction. I think i passed his nefarious test. But the only thing I'm sure of is that I barely made it out of there in one piece.

Edit: originally, the comment I replied to said that no question was innocent

I am willing to give up time out of my life (which is not renewable) for money from a company (which is renewable) and I am treated with contempt at job interviews like they are doing me a favor and treated as if I am trying to scam them. Why is society like this?

Interviews work both ways. You are interviewing them just like they are interviewing you. They are doing you a huge favor in acting this way. Now you know you don't want to work for them. This is much better than them pretending to be nice and you finding out later that it's miserable.

This situation sounds like what restraining orders are designed to help with. IANAL, but restraining orders generally cover all types of communication, including social media. Showing that he has continued to harass you even after blocking him is good reason.

"You should stop posting these online, it's really embarrassing because your [tool name] is such a failure. I should redesign all of it for you because I'm actually an engineer at [company name] and have a lot more experience. I could actually do it right, unlike you. I just might help you if you ask me nicely."

Out if curiosity, have you ever tried calling his bluff? Reply with how would he improve it by saying any constructive criticism is appreciated. Something like

Do you have any recommendations on how to improve it. Looking to make as good as I can.

Depending on how you're feeling, you could incorporate tagging their company. Use the same language they used. Something like

I'd love any constructive criticism from an actual engineer from @company

That said, it seems like the time to reply like that has past and it's best to ignore/block him at this point.

Worth remembering that python uses the concepts of truthy and falsey. Empty string ("") is falsey. Any other string ("true", "false", "0", etc.) Is truthy. All bool(str) does is evaluate whether str is truthy or falsey. It does not evaluate what str actually is.

So bool(input("Input True or False ") will return False is the user input is empty and True otherwise.

There's just no game that satisfies the itch quite like mtg. Been playing for over 20 years and will still be playing in 20+ years.

I don't know but it would be helpful if you included a link to the clip you're talking about.

Great work on the app! It's made the transition from reddit much smoother than the other apps I tried!

Question: Is there a way to disable the confirmation before opening links? It's a bit tedious to click on a link and then be asked "Are you sure?" every time.

NTA. You gave her a place to stay and gave her warnings about her behavior.

She's the one not taking her situation seriously.

The generally worst case scenario is that you'll be bored and (will continue to) not see or talk to that person after. Maybe a few hours are wasted. You no longer have to wonder what if.

Best case scenario the friendship rekindles fully.

Little to lose. Lots to gain. Why not reach out?
