I have to be, fuckwits on the internet keep trying to pretend they know what I'm thinking, portray me according to their own biases, reveal their own bigotry.
It's the pedantry that gives me the energy to keep telling you why you fit that description.
Why is this an overreaction? You think people undertaking highly dangerous manoeuvres in difficult situations should accept additional unnecessary risk of indeterminate extent?
Perhaps you should write to the air safety authorities and let them know why they're wrong.
I don't see many such people, but I suspect they call themselves marxists rather than communists these days - communism has had some bad PR, what with the failures in the USSR and associated states.
It seemed pretty clear he was talking about actual Nazis
Well, let's just check that shall we.
there is precisely one time at which it is warranted to use violence, and that is to prevent violence. The Trump administration is doing violence, and these people are willfully aiding and abetting that violence.
Using violence to stop Nazis is one of the most warranted cases that there ever has been
Nope, no mention of actual nazis there at all. Maybe I should go further back in the conversation.
That is the least that should be done to Nazis. The shoe fits just fine; this administration is well into the middle stages of a typical program of genocide.
Nope, still no actual nazis.
So I guess you need to go back to school and learn how to read, and also stop posting utter fucking shit on the internet trying to suggest that some cunt pretending the US Government is committing genocide (while killing nobody) is referring to members of the National Socialist party in Germany (several of whom as it happens didn't support or commit genocide either - heard of Oskar Schindler by any chance?)
So do I want to avoid calling Trump's administration Nazis? Yeah. I find it unhelpful, idiotic, counter-productive and also intellectually lazy, not to mention dishonest, inflammatory and indefensible. What's your excuse?
Perhaps I'm avoiding getting drawn into a conversation about the 200 people that belong to the American Nazi Party when the term 'Nazi' was clearly used in this conversation to describe the current US Government.
Changing the subject of a conversation midway and pretending everything previously said is about something entirely different is disingenuous at best. I'm going to be really nice and not state what it more likely is.
Ironic how they complain about "people you don't like" being labelled Nazis, after labelling people they don't like as SJWs.
Nazis were members of a specific political organisation in the 1930s and 1940s. Labelling people as Nazis to associate them with the actions of that political organisation then using that artificial association to justify calls of violence against them is reprehensible.
SJWs are people that identify or are identified as supporting emotionally based racism and sexism and refuse to listen to logic, reason or facts. Despite this there is not a general call for violence against them.
So sorry, I'm not seeing the irony here. Seems like two very different situations and scenarios.
I've signed one that's eternal. I got well remunerated for doing so, and the ND clause was explicitly limited to something that I don't have any need or desire to discuss anyway.
That said, I could probably break it now and nobody would give a shit. The company probably no longer even have a record of it; their data retention policy will have mandated its destruction by now.
Except I can tell you the facts and you won't reason to the right conclusion, your brain does not see reality as it is
Look, I hate to break this to you but for you to be able to make connections that I can't even understand when you tell them to me, your level of intelligence must be so far beyond mine that frankly it's at a level which fewer than a hundred people of the planet have.
I don't think you're in that very exclusive set, and that means you have no credibility.
No shit, of course they will. If you only had 3 hours work then you should be given more.
If it's an occasional thing, fine. If it's regular, it suggests the employee is under utilised and that's definitely something to address.
I've fucked off home at 2pm many times, going, "I'm not being productive, I'll see you tomorrow." I've also been last person in the office many times, going, "This bastard thing gets finished tonight."
What I never do is go, "Oh, I finished all my work." I can always find new and different ways to add value to my employer.
Some of us don't want to switch off. Hell, deep programming bugs are best solved while having a shit, or in the shower, or (if you're into that) both.
The trick for me was dissociating the work from my personal sense of self. I had to learn that I am not my work, and more importantly, my work is not me. Sometimes work doesn't follow the route I want; these days I've learned look at the new route and identify how to make that work for me.
I would posit that humans in fact need someone to be worse off than them as a coping mechanism for their own suffering/misfortune/whatever
For many of us the younger self is a perfectly adequate foil.
Right now my income is lower than at any point since before I left school. I'm still better off than I was through large portions of my life.
Shit, I just ordered pizza. I was 19 before I ever had a pizza that wasn't a shop bought bread base with some cheese and pepperoni on it, because pizza in restaurants was too expensive and delivery cost more.
What has nearly drove me out is when I feel like every day is just another barrage of unbounded problems. Like you're the guy on the track, your problem is the chains holding you there, and management is driving the train and they aren't slowing it down. You better get those chains undone.
That's common across software development too. There are multiple approaches and techniques for dealing with it, many of which don't require you to quit the job (or profession).
What doesn't get taught are those approaches and techniques, and (worse than that) people failing to understand them (let alone implementing them badly) mean that people frequently reject the things that might help them.
If I knew how to solve this I'd make a fortune. Shit, people are making fortunes just pretending they know how to solve this.
Slashdot Mirror
Well, you got pedantic right anyway.
I have to be, fuckwits on the internet keep trying to pretend they know what I'm thinking, portray me according to their own biases, reveal their own bigotry.
It's the pedantry that gives me the energy to keep telling you why you fit that description.
I'm not even American so it's grasping pathetically to suggest I'm any sort of American nationalist.
Your insistence that objectivity is some extremist position would be comical if it wasn't so stupid. I think you need professional help.
Feels to me he's spot on. Google, Wikipedia, Slashdot should all geoblock the EU if this law goes through. Lets see how long it lasts.
Why is this an overreaction? You think people undertaking highly dangerous manoeuvres in difficult situations should accept additional unnecessary risk of indeterminate extent?

My wife will kill me, especially when she has to sit through the slideshow later.
Nah. You'll still only have four you want to keep.
Yeah, I shoot video at dance events for fun not profit, and even shoot just 1080p I'm getting between 50 and 80GB a day.
My cameras will do 4K, I just have nowhere to put it and people want the videos online some time this year.
I've seen SSD undercut traditional hard disk cost-per-TB when procuring enterprise storage in the last couple of years.
But enterprise storage follows weird arcane rules that I can't decipher. Luckily storage gonks love dealing with that shit.
What an interesting misinterpretation of how moderation on Slashdot works.
If you have mod points, you ARE a moderator. Moderate moderately.
when your talking points match Stormfront's, you're being racist
Everybody uses the word 'the', so stop being a fucking idiot.
What exactly are you suggesting I've said that's racist? Or are you throwing the word around like a fucking idiot.
I don't see many such people, but I suspect they call themselves marxists rather than communists these days - communism has had some bad PR, what with the failures in the USSR and associated states.

Shrug, I'm mostly hazy on the definition of 'SJW' as I try not to use the term.
If nothing else, 'cunt' is usually an adequate replacement. Interestingly it's also a useful answer to your question.

But also, do you see how the fear of changing demographics is, like, totally obviously literally dictionary-definition racist?
For one thing, it's not dictionary definition racism.
For another, who said anything about fear.
Do you support genocide? Just that current projections show that anglo-saxon people are heading towards extinction.
Well, exactly. It makes this a really interesting way to gauge the integrity of online video card reviewers.

Enough that I'm taking a gap year, doing a lot of travelling, enjoying life. Not enough that I can retire.
The single data point is 57% of IT workers.
That 11000 people were surveyed to create that single data point does not magically multiply it. It's still a single data point.
No shit, of course they will. If you only had 3 hours work then you should be given more.

What I never do is go, "Oh, I finished all my work." I can always find new and different ways to add value to my employer.
People are rarely motivated by just money. One thing that a lot of people value is time out of the office.
Giving them more money often has minimal impact.
