this sort of developer in a pair programming exercise would find themselves flustered at how a junior approached problem solving and just fix it themselves. i strongly suspect the loss of a feeling of control is at play here.
where is the clock catalina and juila spend time on? what was the house with catalina's wife supposed to represent? why is clodio even in the film? can we explore the tiny bow and arrow that is used to kill wow but only hit clodio's butt? why is clodio killed for that?
i understand that it is a competently developed film, but it is full of unexplored concepts and poorly formed sequences. i'd argue it is much more like a well produced album that is devoid of any meaningful songs.
now that's a little less common and the yearly doctor conference has noticed the homeless and is complaining about it. i think homelessness is a consequence not of any one area but of the american way of doing things. we treat it as an incurable disease, like addiction, but that we don't care enough about to fix.
a leader wrote a book esposing ideals that were dated and frankly ‘designed to upset’
to quote:
“” soft and weak, cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of shit. “”
if you had a boss that calimed all people that looked like you were shit, how would you feel reporting to them?
Political scientist Angelo Falcón argues that the use of broad terms like "person of color" is offensive because it aggregates diverse communities and projects "a false unity" that "obscure[s] the needs of Latinos and Asians"
more or less creating a group that simply ‘is not white’ is disparinging for all of the folks in that group that feel more unique than simply ‘not white’
about the dashcam footage, i think we’re seeing different things. it’s true, some of the behavior in the footage is similar to what’s normal in parts of asia. cultural habits can clash, and it’s rough to see. but i agree, it’s probably not deliberate, just different habits.
and you’re right, some drivers are just inconsiderate. but an autonomous car, with its 360-degree awareness, might handle things like unexpected merges better than we think. it’s a good point, technology might adapt to these situations more efficiently than we anticipate.
‘jaywalking’ is racist in origin, a term used to denote ‘jays’ who didn’t understand the rules of the road because the rules where so new culturally. it’s a fitting term, but poor narative, for the clashes you’ve identified in social expectations
do you really think there’s a future where people in ‘rough neighborhoods’ (this is very poorly hidden classism/racism) where they are jumping out in front of cars? there’s very little evidence that people in a mentally sane state, read not incapacitated, will self harm to spite technology.
i know living in the bay i’d mess with the self driving cars, but never by getting in the right of way and risking my damn life, only by signaling a left and forcing them to slow down behind me. i never once tried to get infront of the car at the last moment to see if i could be menaingfully maimed. i strongly suspect the desire to not be hurt will trump your concept of how ‘poors’ live
do you think that people are rude and insulting to others by default?
this is a common occurrence for people who act this way towards others. if you engage in the above behaviors, then you likely assume everyone else does too, and therefore are reasonably upset at the mean things and sneering you anticipate others engaging in. it's really important in these scenarios to recognize that your actions and others are most likely not the same, most people don't just shit on strangers for 'fun'.
it's really cool
