As a US poster, I need all units of measure to be what the Founding Fathers used and all pickup trucks to be what the Founding Fathers drove.

As an EU poster, I won't understand the US obsession with large vehicles and I will recommend bicycling instead.

As a programmer, I think we can improve performance if we multithread, containerise, microservice, and store n-depth JSON in a No-SQL database.

As a Python programmer, this doesn't look Pythonic. We should be using pythonic Python, especially the new release that adds the syntactic sugar that we've all been waiting for.

I will not buy EV unless it can go 10000 miles on a single charge, otherwise it is not good enough for my-once-in-a-decade roadtrip.

I’d buy that EV…

I’m sad not to read anything about Rust and Kubernetes.

As a person running a single static website, I can confidently say that Kubernetes is the most overhyped technology ever. After having eventually realised that my tediously simple workload can be deployed effectively using a short systemd unit file and an even shorter ansible script, I no longer believe anyone actually runs production workloads on Kubernetes.

I will now be considering other options for the service mesh that my startup clearly needs to implement in order to send an occasional email newsletter.

My start-up has rewritten Kubernetes in Rust because Go is slow and doesn't implement traits in a rustaceous way. Now we have a system about which we still can't reason tractably, but we can guarantee memory safety wherever memory safety can be guaranteed.

This will launch the inevitable nightmare of pro/anti-helmet subthreads.

What nanny-state whiners don't understand is that helmets can actually twist your neck or choke you as you're flipping in the air and about to hit the pavement head-first. But it's worse than that, helmets give people a false sense of confidence. That's the real problem with our civilisation, too much confidence that death isn't imminent at every turn. Forewarned is forearmed, I always say to my shrinking coworkers. Oh yeah, pry my weapon from my cold, dead fingers.

As a(As a(As a(recursive defined class of person)))) im astounded by how important perspective and caste has become for some, while we are all just the same hairless monkeys

As a ______"____"______________, I agree.

“As an EU poster, I need to remind everyone in every thread that I have health care and GDPR.”

As an EU poster, the only thing that made a dent in the digital unvisere was GDPR and that’s why I need to remind everyone about it constantly.

PS: I’m an EU poster

"As an American poster, I will get really upset about the idea of GDPR applying to US companies that do business with EU citizens and businesses. I will also complain about other EU regulations, because regulation is bad, stifles innovation and we don't need it in the land of the free, unless the state is California."

"as an American poster I will also get annoyed by non-americans having anything to say about how our legislation works and how that affects them; after if it wasn't for us there wouldn't be any money around"

NIMBY Keto.
