When I said “mainstream” I didn’t mean they were generally accepted. I meant that the issue of gay rights became a topic. Some places like Canada openly legalized gay marriage without much of a protest. Gay rights infection point was definitely in the 90s and only got stronger. It wasn’t like the 80s where gays were openly mocked like in Three’s Company
Trump’s presidency showed that it entirely wasn’t.
The parent post is someone who doesn’t listen to Rogan, and a perfect example of someone that casts Rogan as a transphobe because he dares to not tow 100% of the views that they want him to.
This type of philosophical fascism is what is ruining our world today.
Joe Rogan as recently as last week said the vaccine is mostly safe and saved millions of lives. What he says is that the vaccine is more dangerous to some people than the narratives and pharmaceutical companies says. And he despises how you can’t even talk about the negative effects for some people without being cast as an anti-vaxxer. You entirely proved his point.
The exact same thing applies to transgender people. He believes 100% in their ability to be treated as the gender they believe they are. But his main disagreement is pretending that it’s okay that biological males vs biological females is fair. It’s not, especially in sports like MMA which he is an expert in.
Yet by talking about it, he is cast as a transphobe just like you accused him of.
And to correct you further, the 90s were the period where gay rights went mainstream so you’re even wrong about that. That when people started understanding that it wasn’t a choice and was biological. Shows like Dawson’s Creek really humanized being gay for an entire generation. That’s when Canada made gay marriage legal.
It’s the subreddits and the moderators that make what Reddit is today, and they are the ones that do all the hard work and yet somehow they are the only ones that won’t profit from an IPO.
No, you couldn’t.
It has to keep working for years/decades, be maintainable, survive bad weather conditions, etc. even if you made the scoreboard out of wood and painted it, it would have to be large enough so that the stadium could see, the paint would fade and it would take weeks to make it, etc.
The main benefit of non-flat tax is you can shape behavior by offering tax incentives. But I don’t think those work anymore. I think flat tax needs to be tried and everyone including corporations should do it.
Silicon Valley will never die. There are too many rich people here, and the culture is too strong.
Did Hollywood die because films were made globally? Nope. It’s even stronger.
Silicon Valley has had its ups and downs but it will always be the center of the universe for innovation. The closest it got to death was the dotcom bust, but all that really did was get rid of all the weak players. And when the next cycle crashes again, it will again drive away a lot of the weak players again. But the core innovators and people who love technology will never leave and that will always attract more talent.
A real on-site interview should be:
1) give vague instructions on a fixing/modifying a moderately complex piece of software
2) have them ask good questions until they get to the heart of what they are supposed to do.
3) work with someone to accomplish this task. Use google or whatever else you need to finish it.
This interview should be 5 hours long including lunch. This is your best indicator of success.
You should request a weekly or biweekly meeting 1 on 1 and talk with him. If he refused then try to switch to a different group, or leave the company on your own terms.
