@mekkaokereke as someone who was rather awkward in his teens and twenties. I definitely feel like I dodged some bullets here and there where I could have taken a bad turn into full misogyny. I once had a friend parrot some PUA talking points that made me feel so icky that I let that friendship wither..

@mekkaokereke my old manager in tech/media was in a British punk band and regularly toured in Japan for ten years or so

@mekkaokereke this is the natural role I end up in in every job I've had, since I'm generally very interested in the business problem the software is solving. I've been pretty successful at aligning my achievements along the quality engineer/tool smith career pathway at my current employer fortunately

@molly0xfff "The only open questions were who the specific adversaries in the White House would be, who among the fighters would keep fighting, and who would join the fight.

The first question has been answered. Now the questions are: if you have been fighting already, are you going to continue to fight? If you haven't been, are you going to begin?"

This was the money quote for me

@gerikson @RememberTheApollo_ to be fair Heinlein had some fascist tendencies too even if Stranger In A Strange Land was just good (although I read it so long ago that I might have overlooked stuff)

@jalefkowit sounds like this logic can get you in real terrible trouble if you take a car anywhere that has consistently no reception (which would definitely be the worst place to be with a dead battery)

@enkiv2 I feel like for me copilot was barely useful for writing new code, but super useful for writing unit tests, which are 90% boiler plate and repetitive (but I think that's in a good way)

@nova personally I rarely use search, so I could take it or leave it (and personally would eschew the bother and expense of running an ES instance of it were just for me)
