@evan As much faith as I have that it will actually happen in any meaningful way, Jerry Springer will be playing referee from the afterlife.

@ben @evan This is much more in line with my feelings on a journalistic publication's ethical responsibilities.

@evan Your willingness to convert metric to Imperial/American units betrays your non-native status

@evan ETOOVAGUE

Reminds me of the old Taco Bell commercials though...

@evan I assume "Strong no" means we put extra coal in the oven even though it's already hot enough.

@evan Qualified No because I'm not comfortable saying "never" - I might entertain that exceptions exist. But generally, if a story is worth telling, it's worth telling as is.

My answer leans closer to "No" the more integral to the story. An example front and center in my mind is "American History X" - remove the racism and you remove the magnitude of the character's redemption.

@evan I think I'm missing a punchline, or at least a secondary reference. I assumed this was a slightly modified quote from the actual book, but I can't even find an exchange resembling this.

@evan Ah, nothing so enviably cool. They're usually social channels with names that increasingly resemble secure passwords to avoid excessive spam bots.

But I had the nick q[vegeta] in #perl for a while. I was somewhat proud of that.

@evan Assuming this is for pedagogical reasons, consider also: inviting your boss to your sibling's birthday, or your children into board meetings.

My social accounts (Twitter and Mastodon) are for me, to post what interests me. I choose to use them predominantly for tech. My personal experiments with ReasonML or Kubernetes should not be construed as an endorsement by (nor for) my employer/client. Posting to LinkedIn could reasonably be.

@evan No, for the same reason I don't put my irc channel memberships in my work email signature.

How old am I?

I'm "There should be a space after the two hyphens in your email signature" years old.
