deprecative··on Justice Department formally moves to reclassify marijuana
My dude, liberals are moderates. The only way you can think otherwise is if you're so far to the right that you've lost perspective. Biden is a typical center-right moderate liberal which is exactly what most Democrats are.

The US' War on Drugs was created to subjugate minority and leftist communities. The powers that be admitted as much.
deprecative··on Urban renewal left the U.S. too scared to build
Doesn't that seem to implicitly state that property values are precisely what they're thinking about when trying to keep the poors away? If the poors are able to move in then the value of the property must be inexpensive for them to be able to.
deprecative··on Firefox search update
Ironic that ads are what Google uses to pay Mozilla so you(we) can use Firefox.
deprecative··on Patient dies weeks after kidney transplant from genetically modified pig
Their headline(s) made it seem like there may be some form of investigation going on in the article which makes me want to read the article. The SEO/click bait headline pushed me away. I get that I'm just me but there must be several if not tens of people like me.
deprecative··on You May Soon Be Drinking Synthetic Coffee
You'd think the coffee signalers would care about climate change as climate change is what is going to extinct the coffee they are defending against efforts to protect the climate (that would save their coffee) that simply do not exist.
deprecative··on I don't want to fill out your contact form
If someone uses Twitter that's a pretty good indicator that I don't need to interact with them nor their content.
deprecative··on I don't want to fill out your contact form
It makes sense though. The employer will lie constantly in one of those interviews. It's best to shore up your chances. This is the system employers wanted so give it to them. It's not like you'll be working there in three years anyway.

Then Nixon destroyed faith in the system and set us down this path. Maybe the treason guy isn't who you should prop up as some vanguard of democracy.

deprecative··on Cardio fitness is a strong, consistent predictor of morbidity and mortality
Or, if you're like me, find the one that you have to tolerate least. I find no exercise to be enjoyable. I tolerate a couple things like rowing or walking.
deprecative··on Long-predicted consumer pullback hits restaurants like Starbucks and McDonald's
Yes? They serve food.
deprecative··on Court upholds New York law that says ISPs must offer $15 broadband
That'll run you at least $50/m here in the Midwest.
deprecative··on Claiming high user satisfaction, IRS will decide on renewing free tax site
If only there were a way for you to tell the IRS how many dependents you have. Seems like we should just scrap the ability for folks to fill out anything and let Daddy Intuit do it for us since we're all so helpless with our taxy waxies.
deprecative··on New evidence found for Planet 9
It's boring? It's like when an old person makes a joke they make every time you see them. It's utterly boring and devoid of joy.

You do you but indifference turns to resentment.

deprecative··on Problem with selling developer tools is that devs have no purchasing authority
Unfortunately, you just described 99% of employers. "Just quit" isn't an answer when there are no meaningful alternatives. Business views SWE/tech as a cost of doing business rather than an investment.
deprecative··on China's Young People Are Giving Up on Saving for Retirement
It's the first for me. The only way I will ever be able to retire is if I somehow come into a lot of money. As it stands, my retirement looks less like golden years and more like taking matters into my own hands.
deprecative··on We need more calm companies
Are you labor working for capital? If so, you work for someone who will fire you for a less expensive version as long as the quality of work is, even superficially, acceptably similar. That's it. That's the flow chart.
deprecative··on Don't be afraid to admit when you don't know something
Ostensibly I agree, however when admitting you don't know something can cost you your job you've got to be pragmatic. You can't admit to not knowing something. You've got to feign passing knowledge at least and figure things out afap. Until we align business and engineering and business does not like engineering.
deprecative··on Twitter's pivot to x.com is a gift to phishers
Honest question, why on earth are you on a fascist social media platform?
deprecative··on FCC chair rejects call to impose Universal Service fees on broadband
I, too, am disappointed that funding the government provides to a for profit entity to provide minimal service to an area is used to pay for an exec's bonus or salary.
deprecative··on NASA knows what knocked Voyager 1 offline, but it will take a while to fix
When has telling someone "calm down" ever made them calm down?
deprecative··on Some colleges will soon charge $100k a year – how did this happen?
That just goes to the immoral and unethical nature of means based assistance. It makes no sense to deprive people of aid because they make a dollar over some arbitrary line.
deprecative··on Why are kids being forced to eat lunch in silence?
I dunno, taking a tech job in a red state seems like a giant footgun.
deprecative··on Why are kids being forced to eat lunch in silence?
Maybe this is good for English speaking Europeans or Canadians. Americans that go to public school aren't leaving the country in any real numbers. We're too poor and PTO starved.
deprecative··on Google Podcasts is gone – and so is my faith in Google
I have the exact same thoughts but in opposite positions. Google Podcasts was a simple, straightforward, and easy to use app that just worked. YT Music is so cluttered and filled with useless garbage when all you want is to listen to a podcast. It's an awful app. As a result of them shutting down Podcasts I'm not going to YT Music despite paying for Premium. I'll have to find a different app that I imagine will be worse than the UX of Podcasts.
deprecative··on Dell: Return to office or give up promotions
Act your wage wasn't just for minimum wage workers. Promotions have always been about brown nosing and blowing smoke. If you're just really good at your job you will be underpaid and overworked without the promotion.
deprecative··on Dell: Return to office or give up promotions
This sounds like the thing a strong SWE union would prevent. Shame we're all ninja rockstar 1000000000x devbros.
deprecative··on Reddit shares plunge 25% in two days, finish the week below first day close
User data would be my guess.
deprecative··on Facebook let Netflix see user DMs, quit streaming to keep Netflix happy
Anyone expecting capitalism to not capitalism is going to have a bad time.
