Laughable that they are even comparable. CCP is doing a legit population mindwiping.

I agree on over-incarceration the most. Police brutality needs to be backed up by numbers, not just a video or two every year that gets shown 1 million times on all media.

Most of those "refugees" are simply economic migrants. I don't blame them at all, but there's a point at which we need to have laws to see who/how people can get into this country to become a part of our society. Doing nothing and basically letting anybody who can walk here get in is NOT the answer.

How much did you set aside for each break and how long were they? I agree that when you change the way you view it, everything can change.

I think Unit Testing is good for when you have big teams and changes that can go across knowledge boundaries... so the tests can keep people in check from making changes that mess up other parts of the codebase inadvertently.

I guess President could be interesting. I think I’d be exhausted after a week or two though, debating how to shape the future of the world.

Which one and what’s the proc/mem? What kind of web dev?

Well it’s the same as the 7, 8, and I believe 6s.

I’d say it’s fine at the right angle. Maybe noon is tougher.

I have the SE 2020. It's awesome. Battery life and screen brightness outdoors is the only weakness. Perfectly smooth, processor is amazing.

I also don't like the swipe gestures. Plus having a $1k+ phone on me while biking would make me kinda nervous.

Philly is super chill. My cousin took a small pay cut (same company) to move there. Pays $650 for a nice bedroom in 3b/3ba. Used to pay $1850 in manhattan.

Step back and realize your situation is simple.

Goal: Get a new job.

Actions: 1. Live healthy, sleep well. Run. 2. Spruce up resume 3. Apply for jobs 4. Cruise at current job

I find that when you think you have the weight of the world on your shoulders, super straightforward tasks seem insurmountable.

Think of it like a dumb person would: “I don’t like this job. I’m gonna get a new one”

Yeah I just got screwed and got zero bonus this past year. Apparently the recruiter told me this. She basically did a play on words.

Where are you at though? This is 130k in nyc which is super expensive.

Yeah but soft engr you can get into a project where you get over the initial hump and can coast, do like 20 hours a week of work. Get paid pretty solid. Work remote and still do a fine job. Plenty of time to concentrate on your own stuff.

All of those other roles you're going to have to have facetime always. Playing politics. Is that worth it? Maybe.

How old are you, and how long have you been traveling?

Seems like FAANG is a good bet. You could also go for a top tier hedge fund and bust your balls for a year. They pay straight cash and a huge bonus. Prob the best bet if you have a 1 year time limit, since the FAANG vesting doesn't help.

I'm well-traveled but want to do the same thing. Idk if I'm good enough for the top tier companies though. Might just chill at my fairly easy banking job at 130k.

Best bang for your buck is interval/HIIT hill sprints. 2 mile warm up, 8x20-30 secs all out, .5-1 mile cooldown. This will get you in the best shape for the time spent. Do some pushups, pullups, body squats, planks. Super straightforward and will get you most of the benefits of quality exercise for minimal time input.

Make/sell something that people want.

Obviously this is super hard/impossible to calculate, but everybody should be paying in a certain fraction of what they are getting out of the system.

ex. The entrepreneur that gets access to the road system, educated workforce, police/legal system protection... if they didn't have that then they couldn't profit from their widget. So pay something significant back to the system, or you can't participate in the system.

Yup, precisely this. Obviously this is super hard/impossible to calculate, but everybody should be paying in a certain fraction of what they are getting out of the system.

That's what I assumed. Was the TPP that, or was there more to come? And if so, why was Hillary against it?

Trumps plan looks better on the surface but I think it is bigly flawed. To try to take them head on but not actually doing much. And he really hasn't even tried to crank them with the tarrifs.

Since big companies can raise capital with really low interest rates... isn't the stock market basically a big Casino game? Name of the game is to guess what everybody else is gonna do and come out ahead. Most are just investing for a return. Seems pointless.

Yeah their strategy is to grow so large that they can just call the shots. I would be a ton of "western" politicians and business leaders are in their pockets too. Instead of a head on conflict they are going to slowly absorb the enemy. This is one area that I think Trump was right in, and the Dems (and neo-cons) seemed to be mostly in their pockets. I don't fully understand what Obama's China plan was.

Do you have any friend that is confirmed negative (spent at least 10 days stationary as far as interactions go) and has a car? They can scoop you up and take you somewhere. Whether that's home to your parents or whatever. Otherwise you need to stay inside for at least the next 3 weeks or go outside with a mask and stay way away from people (just to get sun).

The government should just simply freeze all loans that affect these sectors.

Who would then get affected? Mostly rich rentier types and then the banks. The banks will be given super low interest rates from the fed to cover the shortfalls in interest from these loans.

Essential services like food/medicine production, etc should be given grants to fill in any production holes.

“It’s just the flu bro!”

I’m not. I just do it for the (Relatively) easy income.

What was so alienating and pointless about it?

I pretty much failed because I would just let it rip after a few drinks in a "high energy" atmosphere. So I just decided to stop, at least for Dry Jan but probably for 2020. Just feels so clean and also forces you to man up and "just do it" socially.

It's still a stressor and a carcinogen. So if you're drinking regularly, you will still have a negative effect long term.

So you went from a city city like NYC to a city closer to nature like Seattle? I find NYC constricting sometimes because you're always around people and products of people, never just out on a trail going for a run/bike/hike.

I am thinking that whatever it takes to rekindle that sense of agency, that's the way to go. Everyone had some sense of agency as a kid playing with legos, games, etc.

Yeah just having to be at my office for 9 hours makes me sleep worse, and drains your spice for life that you would normally be able to parlay into diving into your interests.

Did you just quit and spend a year or whatever with your interests and thinking of business ideas?
