Why tf would you support this kind of bullshit? Do you really crave the brainrot? Do you really need this much of an escape? It's a cancer and you're actively injecting yourself with it. Why?

Social media really is a cancer. If you can't even say a word like "die" because it will potentially upset advertisers, then I guess I'd rather have the internet...die. (That's right, Meta, I dared to say that forbidden word. You better never train your AI on federated content! )

The question of course being: what will you do or can you do if it's not accepted? How far will someone go to make their vote count? Many people would likely not bother with it, which could make this a quite succesful way of sabotaging.

Dont blame developers. It's never developers that make decisions. It's the management, the shareholders, the project manager, the product owner, the whatever-mba-dipshit on top. But never the developers. They just execute and comply and if they refuse, they're let go. A developer is a fleshy code printer. A resource. They don't have real power. They're a factory worker. Remember that. Don't blame the worker, blame the boss.

I know Black Lotus is one of the most (the most) valuable MTG card, but why is that so?

It's a nice card, but not all that extremely powerful or special, is it? Was it just super rare? It's from one of the first series, I believe?

At this point, as a non american, i just cannot comprehend at all why people would doubt on who to vote. Trump fanatics have made up their mind and will never vote Harris, I get that. If you dont like trump, there's only one other option and that's Harris, right?

But is there really a big group of people that actually STILL need to compare candidates and think "not so fast, that trump guy may have a point". What makes them think he is a sane choice? Are these people that voted biden, are disappointed in his presidency and now think "it was better under trump"?

It's not like European countries where you need to choose between like 10 different parties. If you dont like trump, you vote harris; simple as that, right? (Obviously not, so I really want to understand the dynamic in play here)

What's up with that wonky form? Is Phobos not a sphere? Has it let itself go since his wife left? Is it a "special" moon?

Ask any professional senior software developer if they ever maintained an existing or new codebase and made the mistake of thinking "oh easy! it's just a matter of doing this or that and changing a couple of small things. Won't take longer than . " Then ask them how long it really took.

Hey that's interesting! I have a degree in computer science and work as a software developer but also a masters in visual arts (photography). I never managed to break free from my developer gig, because of the financial stability it provides, but I already burned out, recovered and feel it's an endless cycle. Like you, doing art made me so happy and it bothers me every day I can't seem to get my life turned around in that direction.

Do you have any tips in that regard? How did you get started? Did you transition softly or just quit your job there and then? And what then? Did you have network? Can you live off your art?

I have so many questions, please point this fellow STEM in the right direction to break free :)
