Women stigmatizing completely normal male sexuality is also a (dark triad) variant of female intrasexual competition. It’s an attempt to stymie men who might otherwise not desire them, to limit their range of options.
No, none of this is conscious (for the most part). In fact, most human behavior is not — and is far more effective if it remains that way. But that is what is occurring nonetheless.
My friend always claims she can tell if someone is Asian before they turn around, but how?
Is this some kid of joke? Hair, of course! Asian people’s hair looks very notably different than white or black people’s hair.
Hell, I can tell if someone is (Asian) Indian or non-Indian Asian before they turn around, even if I cannot see their skin.
It’s not even hard.
A lot of people want you to apologize to them for why they suck. I refuse to do it. To those same people, not excusing their failures makes you a bully.
Still not apologizing.
Where do they go to find dipshits like this?
Basic UI: A menu entry that includes text and a visual element (photo, icon, symbol) is more distinguishable and can be identified more quickly than one with only one of those items.
It seems we’ve just chosen to ignore 50+ years of UI/UX research and lessons and sprint headlong towards the clown crap this crappy clown wants. I cannot understand it. He’s simply wrong. Not as a guess or a preference or an opinion, but just objectively incorrect about how human brains, vision systems and UI/UX work and what they’re even for.
Icons and/or symbols increase the distinguishability and legibility even if the icon isn’t by itself enough to know what a menu items does. People do not do their homework anymore and they don’t know anything. It’s all just unwarranted guesses and out of left field completely-unresearched assumptions.
From my perspective, no matter what a lot of people’s IQ actually is, most people seem to have the intelligence level of a lead-poisoned toddler. Are people even trying anymore? Doesn’t appear so.
I couldn’t care less about how Git works. I don’t like the feeling of turds smeared on my face, and technologically speaking that’s what Git is like to me.
That chart is talked about all the time on this website, and it is wrong every time.

Oh, fucking clown. Real product compensation is not a good measure of inflation or compensation as the average worker experiences it. This is just an over-educated attempt to sneak something in that most people won’t know what it means to make himself look clever while dunking on his enemies. Well I’m smarter than he is by far and here’s why it’s bunk.
RPC is based on the Producer Price Index, which is a measure of the price of what firms sell. The worker & family actually experiences inflation as the Consumer Price Index (or at least far closer to), which is rent, food, healthcare and all those essentials of living. So, check this out: if the price of making things rises faster than the CPI, real product compensation will make the worker look much better off even if their actual cost of living isn’t improving much at all.
In other words, as usual this econ is attempting to con you. After all, it’s right in the name of the profession. It’s what most of them are paid to do.
There’s about five other things wrong with this RPC way of measure this but I just don’t have time to write about them all. A clownish asinine dipshit is all this dude is. Should’ve gotten a real education somewhere, but probably doesn’t have the brain to handle it.
I really strongly dislike physical books and never read them anymore.
No ability to control font sizes and fucking heavy.
To those who say AI isn’t a substantive advance (or even more absurdly, a “plagiarism machine”) you’re wrong. No, it’s not a tech Jesus and it’s not the end of the humans on earth as the AI cultists imagine, but it’s at least the equivalent of gene sequencing + editing or other tech like that.
Most of you have a GIGO problem with AI — garbage in, garbage out. And here’s the thing: you’re the garbage in that equation.
People who claim they cannot see any difference between 1080p and 4K screens — I just don’t believe them. It’s so insanely obvious I think they are just saying that so they don’t have to spend more money on a better monitor.
Unless you have, like, 20/100 vision the difference is like looking at a pebble and boulder and claiming they are exactly the same.
Surely people cannot be that vision-impaired and still read without glasses?
Me too. I cannot believe how insanely and weirdly prudish they are. What clowns.
Definitely. It’s become professionalized and corporatized.
The truly exceptionally-skilled people who were not well-socialized have been pushed out, mostly. Thus, the average level of talent has decreased by a whole lot. Contributing to this is that those like me who grew up with real computers and excellent troubleshooting skills are starting to age out.
This means that the average skill level is a lot lower, and most managers are not as competent. Relatedly, there is vastly more attention paid to the appearance of things (not software or design, I mean socially). The put-up-with-no-bullshit greybeards and (more rarely) doyennes have nearly all departed — what’s left are gladhanders, ass-kissers, corporate social butterflies and sycophants of all stripes.
It was a lot better field 15-20 years ago is what I am saying. There is no nearly no one left at my level any longer. Which means there is no competition but it’s also very lonely. Those with actual impressive skills aren’t present anymore, and the juniors coming up can’t troubleshoot their way out of a wet paper bag.
It’s been sad to witness.
It’s not racist to have more trouble telling people apart you’re not used to being around. It’s just normal and human.
When I first went to China, I had trouble distinguishing some of my first acquaintances from one another, especially at a distance. But then I got to know them and even from 300 meters, I was like, “Oh, hey, Ling Ling, we’re over here!”
Or, “That’s Xiao Mai on the way. I see her down the street.”
It took me about a month to get a lot better at distinguishing Chinese faces. And then I couldn’t believe after that I’d had any trouble. Noticing human differences and acknowledging them is not racism; that’s just life and reality. The left would do a lot better to accept that and deal with it like adults.
Among the many mistakes of the left, it was a pretty big one portraying all immigrants as faultless saints while characterizing anyone born in the US as a hopelessly hateful hillbilly.
And that went about as well for them as the rest of the idiotic shit they’ve done.
I do like California, but fighting for six months with the Franchise Tax Board whether I’d paid my taxes or not (I had, overpaid!) soured me on the California government right quick. Nothing like wasting vast amounts of time on something completely pointless and that’s a deadweight loss for everyone involved.
By the way, I pay ~52% of my income in taxes. And that’s a lot. Luckily that’s because I earn a ton, but still…ain’t nobody shirking here.
Nope. If a girl asks me my zodiac sign I immediately know we are 100% incompatible and that we are done. I will also think she’s an idiot but will be polite enough not to say that.
I have no interest. I couldn’t even bring myself to sleep with her for one night no matter how hot she is (ask me how I know). It’s just over. There is zero reason to continue with someone who is repellently intellectually incompatible with me. It’d be doing both of us a disservice to keep up the charade.
