I prefer taking the risk of dying.

I kept living my life as usual, the news got out of hand so I just stop TV and reading the news.

Did not get any vaccine out of laziness, no regrets so far, I did not feel the need for it

All your translation keys are broken (I mean you don't have any default language as a fallback).

I tend to use words for their exact definitions. So don't be shy to precisely pinpoint the exact part I showed any sign of intolerance, I am curious.

Intolerance: lack of tolerance; unwillingness or refusal to tolerate or respect opinions or beliefs contrary to one's own

Because the only person here who has a problem with the opinions of others is the one who is trying hard to educate others without being solicited to do so.

Name calling others is a pretty weak strategy to appear tolerant.

Bigot : « one who regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance »

You are the only one here who believes you need to educate others and look down on them.

If you find people who like to be educated and lectured all day just because they live, then I have no problems with that.

But I will keep living with flat mates, not people whose whole lives revolve around lecturing other people.

As stated before, I am glad this project exists, so we can both segregate and live in different places.

Your whole message convinces me that OP idea of a project is actually pretty good.

I think he is creating a safe space for queer people AND he is indirectly creating a safe space for non queer people at the same time.

Alright, then I guess I am better living in a non LGBTQ friendly place.

The interactions you are describing seem way too unnecessarily complex for my liking, I am mostly looking to reduce cost of living, having a few drinks from time to time and playing the occasional board game night.

Being lectured about critical race theory or whatever, seems exhausting.

I don’t think I am that much interested about why people are doing the things they do. So being « educated » without asking for it, seems annoying.

All in all, I agree with the project of OP, it’s a good idea that people who want to educate others can segregate themselves with people who are interested by being lectured.

I personally don’t see any problems with that. I decided to be an engineer to solve problems.

Being in a team where people are black or have vaginas is devoid of any value to me. And I tend to leave any companies that seek to optimize these criteria because I find the idea of hiring based on gender, sexual organs or racial consideration to be intellectually insulting.

I have no idea why you think they need to educate others.

If they are looking for housing, they just should look for housing.

I don’t need any unsolicited teachings. Go on with your life, the sexuality, pronouns or identities of others are of no use to me.

Then I guess you are pretty much the problem here or I should say your ideology is the differing one.

I have been living in Asia for a while, indeed diversity is not seen as anything useful. It's not considered a criteria to be taken into consideration.

I have worked in diverse team and I have worked in a monoethnic team. I haven't seen any difference whatsoever in term of performance.

From my own experience I like working in a monoethnic team. And I like working within a team with a little bit of diversity. But when diversity is going too the roof, then my degree of joy at work start declining.

I try to avoid days where I need to work for hours on end without a break.

But sometimes it's inevitable and I can't get into the zone.

I then take Ritalin.

I haven't seen much literature about the subject, but you have the Spaghetti Sort which is half funny and half serious (offering near linear time complexity)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti_sort

The amount of corruption in the UE is insanely huge. This has been going on for the past 20 years. I left and I am not coming back.

When I used to live in France, I paid between 70% and 75% taxes as a middle class employee. And you keep wondering, where does all the money go?

- Statistics do not look good ? Forbid the statistics - Champion's league final, French/British/Spanish families have been threatened, attacked, stolen by hordes. Let's pretend it was because of the British fans, because a diplomatic crisis with them is a lot easier than weeks of chaos with the people living in Saint-Denis.

The economy looks bad, the idea of having one currency to accommodate countries with vastly different needs is a stupid idea.

Every time a country does not follow order, it gets threatened until it does.

Oh, and of course, the last time we ask the French (for example) in 2005, whether they agreed about the EU Constitution they voted "NO". But somehow, someone decided that it must have been "YES".

I lost 20 pounds in 40 days, been overweight for the past 10 years or so.

For some unknown reasons, I brutally lost my appetite for junk food, sodas, etc.

It’s probably the first time in my life I am 100% certain I will reach my ideal weight. Just 3-4 more months to go.

It feels pretty good.

That in most cases diversity is not a strength.

- it brings negative performance when the diversity is age related

- it brings negative performance outside of tech/knowledge intensive jobs when it’s gender/ethnicity related

- Only educational diversity seems to bring positive results

Same thing, any company putting diversity and inclusion first is a huge red flag to me and I usually stop my own hiring process.

As a capitalist I consider any strategies other than "Hire the best individuals as long as they are also good teammates" the only viable strategy. And I am wary of anyone doing something else.

"Let's hire more black people" does not seem like a viable strategy. And the message sent to the person actually hired is terrible. "Yeah we hired you because we needed to appear more inclusive".

If someone built the opposite product I would be interested, would help me not waste time with company I share no common ideals.

I was studying in the number one university in China (Tsinghua). Finished my first year of master degree and dropped out because I had little interest for research.

- No regrets about the master part - I miss the student life a bit (Tsinghua is really unique and massive) - 100% miss not living in China, I should have pushed through it, learn more Chinese. - 100% looking forward to relocate in China as soon as the borders open. - I am now making a six figures salary, nobody ever asked me for my degree, never.

I fully agree with this and I wish the same. I alternative solution I have found so far is

1. I mostly travel to lower income countries in South-East Asia. 2. My income is fairly high even for US standards 3. I usually travel for 3-6 months at the minimum. 4. I will just buy the nice monitor, keyboard, etc 5. I just go to the nearby university, find a random professor working in IT and ask him "Do you have a promising student in one your class, who you can tell is lacking some money to get a good equipment?"

And I just give it all.

It's a pricey strategy, I am probably forking 700-1000$ every 6 months but I don't really care. Last time I have see a young Thai girl cry because I gave her something should could have never afforded before finishing university. Was well worth the price.

And I am not compromising anymore with my own setup, so I have to buy at least 1-2 monitor.

Maybe there are just students. My school did not teach us Git, our programs were graded by algorithms and teachers.

I had built simple but not trivial programs like a Raytracing engine in C, a basic shell with AST, globbing etc.

When I started looking for my job, I just took the time to migrate some of these projects to Github. The project was already finished and unversioned, so I just

git init git remote add git add . git commit git push

Not the best, but it was the best I could do at that time.

I personally use Ritalin once a day. Not that I advice you to do the same but if you tend to procrastinate, I can tell you that it works pretty well.

In 2050 my daughter would pretty much be the same age as I am right now.

I think I would just spend the afternoon with her, would be interesting to talk with your own kids as complete "equals".

Would not bother too much with climate change or scientific progress. I am an idealist, I like the idea of humans giving up their whole life for their one true obsession. I think, shortcutting this with insider information would make my regular life after I am back, a bit disappointing.

I would definitely ditch the time tracking. It's mentally exhausting. Knowledge work does not work linearly, sometimes you are stuck and sometimes you thrive.

Have someone technical randomly review employees based on their technical contributions.

If someone is clearly underperforming then fire them liberally but on a day to day basis, try to stop enforcing so much constraints.

I think, it’s just another intellectuel and speculative game to play. Fun as well with some interactive products.

But I think it’s more rigged than the stock market, insider trading and rug pull are too many

It's indeed possible that we kill ourselves. But we are getting closer and closer to space travel. I would say a few more centuries.

Once we reach that point, humanity will spread wide, exploration will start all over again. It will then be fairly hard for our species to disappear.

Except for movies and TV shows I watch almost everything at 2x speed and skim when it's too verbose or when I know the subject decently well.

None of that is possible with streams, so I don't. From time to time, I will just explore the stream to see if everyone is working on something interesting (I am trying to get a feel for Rust at the moment)

I don't think it's practical and your examples are too specific. For the promotions (or auto promotions) there is SponsorBlock, it works pretty well for most well known channel.

For the rest, it's mostly creator specific. If a creator is abusing sentimental music in many videos, or I don't like the way he/she talks. I just hit "unsubscribe" and move on.

Nothing for me, I never really tried to develop meaningful relationships with colleagues before. I kept it professional.

I can now use geographic arbitrage to save a lot of money and explore the world. I am able to constantly hit the gym and work when I am better focus (at night).

I assume things could be different if I had a family, but for a single person, I don't have a lot of downside at the moment.

Not gonna be a popular response but few months ago I was really angry at myself because of two diverging realities

1. I think I am a fairly good developer, when I am in a flow state, I can accomplish a huge amount of work in 3-4 hours.

2. I am very rarely in a flow state.

I am always doing something else, watching some videos, reading books or Feedly, hoping around, etc.

Now comes the controversial part, recently I started using Ritalin. About 5 doses each week. There will probably be consequences (I am not sure), but it's magic. I reach a flow state in under 20 minutes and stay this way for 4h or so.

I decided to change my schedule and only work 4h/day because I constantly do a good amount of work.

Any platforms?

You just need to calculate all your costs and sell it for the same price.

If a vast majority of employees are feeling the same, I would write it down and talk to the manager.

If it's mostly just me, I would leave. I don't expect a company with many employees to take my moral standards into consideration.
