You think this is the same thing?

Because I don't see how this is witch-hunting by social media when this person came out and said she did it and really that doesn't matter because it's the right that ran with it. They cannot hell themselves from being overtly racist anymore. That's not on this random internet women.

Keeping in mind the DSM used the word retarded until DSM V came out in 2013.

Another history fact around the DSM is that homosexuality was a mental disability but that was removed way back in 1974 and society didn't shift as quickly with it as it has now.

The issue with retard is that it is describing an actual medical condition and swapping the word isn't going to change that.

The worst kind of racist.

"I'm not a racist, I just spread rumors that are based on racist ideology."

Being dumb isn't an excuse; it's a prerequisite.

The only hope here is that this specific moment forced her to recognize her racism and she stops spreading it going forward. She'll still be racist and she wakes to her own culpability

A rockstar developer doesn't churn out unmaintainable, by definition.

The number of people who think they are rockstar developers but clearly aren't is probably close to the number of cover bands who see themselves as undiscovered rockstars.

I've worked with people like this, their best hope is to fail upwards into management.

The only way to know if you are competent coder is for other coders to tell you. If none are telling you, your imposter syndrome isn't.

There are other signs as well but these aren't taught in formal education. An example being the ability to recognize how your old code could be improved. The way requirements stack over time makes this a certainty in any product.

And here is the moment it sails over everyone's head that this is exactly the same claim for Palestine that many are claiming occurs when the US sells weapons to Israel.

Weird.

Just a moment. Need to find the tweezers and magnifying glass.

That's what debates have been pre-Trump.

There were never any surprises. They were expected to be composed and articulate.

It was mostly about getting voters to tune in at prime time because despite there being round the clock news, most people don't actually pay close attention to politics.

Sure but that's why the message is being sold. The right wing is a post truth political movement. They are the alpha wave of the next global fascism movement.

Seeing the number of legal migrants who support Trump reminds me of the German Jews who supported the rise of Hitler.

It feels like a necessary step.

The genocide this movement is pushing for will not care about legal immigration status.

We're past the echo phase. We're deep into the, "I replaced Jew with Immigrant" phase.

Very smart move. Killing the cat before a dirty illegal immigrant cannot. Super smart.

--- because let's be honest they aren't worried about pets; it's that illegal immigrants are involved it.

Hatred is stupidity. Always has been.

Tech papers are not anecdotal.

You will never regret or acknowledge the error.

Enjoy your hill.

Cool. Every tech paper I've read has said how terrible their hearing aids are compared to AirPods, so your anecdote is meaningless.

Also, did that hearing aid retail for under $300?

You would rather be indirectly gouged by a no-name brand that creates an inferior one-off product than buy an Apple product.

This is the hill you chose and no amount of government healthcare can save you from it.

Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Folds.

Weird. Turns out those with college education have options. Perhaps it wasn't a good idea to make villains out of them.

Are you suggesting such an app can be purchased outside Google play but not used?

Having an app check a license server isn't exactly new. Google play is simply a third party license server.

School isn't able to detect all abuse and it is not uncommon for abusers to homeschool to avoid detection.

Those metal Bobby pins broken in half do wonders. Nice sharp hook for scrapping and unpacking the lint.

Just don't scrap it across the connector pins. It would probably be fine but that's never where the lint ends up.

It's is possible to understand the right and not be pulled right.

The people who are pulled, are pulled because they have something in them that resonated with the right's hate filled ideology.

The ideology isn't that compelling and the right wing voters are not victims. They are all active participants in the spread of hated.

They see themselves as victims, their ideology is based in their own imagined victimhood. It is foolish to actually except their victimhood, that is their ideology tugging on you.

Pot. Kettle. Black.
