Returned to C++ programming after needing 25+ attempts to make one basket, while my wife made at least five in the meantime. 😓
"Play to your strengths" is how I consoled myself. 😁

Tech -people dogma is tiring. 😫
The dogma shows up more on social media, but it exists IRL as well.
I wonder it's not really #dogma, but people too proud to admit they are wrong or someone else was right. Might also be people disappointed they could not find a fault they were so sure to find in another person/position.
I've seen all shades of it on my TL just recently. And the frequent offenders are *genuine experts* (who I truly respect) with good reputation among colleagues. 🥹
A #CS dept. chair insisted the 2nd course *must be* weeding.
The 1st course he said doesn't matter, but he loaded it up with so much junk and presented in illogical sequence, that the course was obviously weeding.
I fought a good fight against the stupidity and lost. Needless to say I left the department.
I still feel terrible for choosing to leave, that I let down students, but had to put my health and family first.
Not a week goes by I'm not reminded of the tragedy. 🥹
@kriswd40 two people and a dog? 🤔
Eating at home? In this economy? 🙄
Today, I cleared 6-7 Mastodon bookmarks and added only three new. Just a thousand more bookmarks to clear, but today is a win. 🏆
@vitaut Looks quite permunent. 😉
@fu Or someone in pursuit of the "perfect pillow" (which it seems might not exist)
The perfect sleeping pillow is the pillow you haven't yet bought.
@inthehands Only Lot's pathogens, and only if the pathogens initiate eye contact. In a process called "myth-fusion".

@nitin Item 2 is the same as Item 1, no?
@mattly Thanks for sharing the numbers. Something to think about.
@mattly I'm a bit confused. I can see why the difference between what you paid and the market price on the day the stock became yours is taxed as wages. However, the difference between that market price and the price you sold the shares at should be capital gains/loss, no?
Unless you sold at your market price, possibily even the same day the shares became yours.
It has been a while since I was in a similar situation. So, I don't really remember all the details.
@zero Indeed, short-term gain would be taxed differently than long-term.
It seems we agree the gains from any event after exercising are taxed as gains (short or long) and only the discount on market price at exercising is taxed as wages.
So, I think the part of OP that says "gains from selling stock bought under an Employee Stock Purchase Plan count as wages” is not true, except by "coincidence".
That said, I'll look into the details as time permits. But OP is prolly right. 🙏
@kriswd40 All just pieces of paper floating inside a very large very thin cardboard box. 😁
@liztai does peanut butter count? 😁
@mattly How many Washingtons and Jeffersons in the County drop-down? 🤦♂️
Plates and bowls are holdlery?
A frequent detractor lurks but post anyway.
It is sad though grown people have to second guess themselves because of other grown people.
Online bullying marauds in many forms. Especially beware experts and elites.
PS: If you come back with "more self-confidence", you're missing the point. An online bully is different in that they do not care about others confidence.
