Growing up in the rust belt, I know that there are (or at least were) full time jobs for men that paid pretty well and didn't require a college education. And fathers generally have less of an impact on early child development than mothers. Paying the bills and make sure the baby has material needs met is the classic contribution of a father. But babies learn to talk and (hopefully) read from their mother. In an ideal world both parents would contribute equally, but if you're working or traveling from 7am to 6pm you aren't necessarily the biggest part of your child's life. (sorry to share the bad news)
But if you're college-educated, you're more likely to be employed, especially if there's two of you. Consequently you have on average less time for the child. If you're an employed woman, and the father is less likely to work because you are the one getting more money, how come that "fathers generally have less of an impact on early child development than mothers" in such an arrangement? Are women doing absolutely everything in such pairs?
If you came into our workplace not knowing a Java framework like Spring, not knowing Hibernate, and still using Java 1.2 practices, I'd have zero use for you.
You missed the part where we're already doing that. According your child logic, we apparently have to solve all our problems completely before anyone else solves a single problem.
One example that has a big pay off is when women are educated to a high school or college level. Their children tend to grow up with a higher standard of living and the next generation has fewer problems with addiction.
You mean when people are educated to a high school or college level? Or is it that you can pair a college-educated woman and a grade-school-educated man and get the same outcome you'd get with two college-educated parents?
And who says anything about authority? Besides you, of course. (Note that you are technically wrong, though, by virtue of the existence of Melilla and Ceuta.)
...but we've ALREADY cleaned up our act. As should be obvious to you if you look at the amount of generated sea plastic waste per capita. So how much more do we have to clean up our act before other countries notice if they haven't noticed by now?
I said "[it] has nothing to do with the amount or percentage of ocean pollution caused by this". That's not a contradiction, that should be bloody obvious. For starters, Sweden will be even more hungry for waste, hence the value of waste will increase, hence the flows to different sinks will change disproportionately.
No, I'd like Python to be more like Newspeak. I would have thought that idea was clear enough in what I wrote, for example because I used "Python" and "Newspeak" in a single sentence, and, conversely, made no mention of Rust.
It turned out that the original shitstorm was exactly that, a shitstorm. But perhaps not too surprisingly, the issue of substandard journalism reappeared in other cases - not too surprisingly because the so-called "game journalists" unsurprisingly don't really have WaPo or NYT-level credentials, nor skills, nor level of integrity.
I didn't say anything about dictating anything to anyone, only about offering help. You have anything about offering help?
Also the average EU citizen produces 31 kg of plastic waste [1] if they reduce it by 70% that would be 9.3 kg per year per person or in total 4185000 t instead of 13950000 t.
That's obviously preferable for a number of other reasons but has nothing to do with the amount or percentage of ocean pollution caused by this because this waste does not generally reach the sea in the first place.
You sound like one of those people who once read an economic theory and never actually had a look at how any of it applies in reality.
You don't think it applies to the reality of the rest of the world polluting the globe with plastics twenty times more than Europe? That's not a "highly theoretical situation".
and I guarantee sure as fuck that the drinking straw floating down in the lake near my house did not get tossed into some Asian river and then migrate around the world, grow legs and walk several hundred km inland as well.
I never said that, but notice it doesn't even pollute the ocean. That makes it even easier for you to collect it. Hell, you might even collect enough straws to build yourself a physical strawman in addition to the metaphorical one you already have.;-p
You're of course viewing the broader issues, and I don't disagree with those, but I was talking specifically about the one problem of plastic pollution. But if you *do* decide "plastic pollution is on the list of things we have to deal with" (and not, for example, coal power plants or deforestation), then prioritizing Europe makes no sense. If you decide that your other ideas have to be pursued first, the problem I noted doesn't arise in the first place.

I quoted it from the article.
You mean game developers? Those are entirely different people.
We let nearly every dev go that was working less than 60 hours a week
Basically you kept those who needed more time to finish their tasks. What could possibly go wrong?
If you came into our workplace not knowing a Java framework like Spring, not knowing Hibernate, and still using Java 1.2 practices, I'd have zero use for you.
What's a Java?
Short and /dev/stdout?
Why not make the vast majority of plastic come from rivers in Europe? Yes, that would be horrible indeed.
How about setting an example?

Or re-port it to ARMA's engine?
In the Bible?
PNG should be solving its human rights and sexual violence problems first.
But they have neat [google.is] plants [google.is].
Apparently, they don't have eggplants, so that's a start.
We already did. That's the very reason why our plastic pollution is comparatively so low.
Perhaps, but environmental issues ARE an economical problem. They stand to hurt our economy in the future.

Comparing to America? Why? It is supremely idiotic to believe America is some shining beacon of women's rights.
Have you been to the rest of the world?
Online mobs regularly go after any woman who dares stand up for herself. Hate speech and death threats are common. Remember #gamergate?
...apparently not.
...if only Python had some semblance of sane design, like, e.g., Newspeak does, or other languages with an actual security model.
My first post operations.
Your first post-op what?
