It is in the name. It is a markup language, not a programming/scripting language.

Why would I sign on with a business partner that has shown they can't do their one job? If I am trying to hire a painter I am not going to hire Mr. Bean.

Don't you think he looks tired?

What they don't tell you is that it is ridiculously cheap and easy for chicken farmers to replace lost chickens.

The chicken/egg shortage from the bird flu was resolved in under 2 weeks, but they used that opportunity to keep prices high.

These people wouldn't stand before God. They would immediately get a one way ticket to hell. As they did not allow due process in life, they will not get it in death.

"Because this random starving person is a terrorist-in-training.", says the people training the terrorists.

My experience with SO is that I'll look up a question about how to do something using X method and all the answers are like "why are you using X?" or "here's how to do it using Y.". You rarely find people answering the questions and instead find people trying to spread gospel about a certain tech that you aren't using.

It is usually a driver who has too many packages or doesn't care, both cases are an issue with the company itself.

It can be, but the ice itself is not wet.

You value yourself at negative 10k? If they paid me 100m, I would at least think about it before declining to buy one.

They tell us we don't own the game, only a license to play the game that they can arbitrarily revoke.

If you are going to hold my right to play something I paid for hostage, you can bet I am going to reclaim what I lost if that access is taken away from me (this does not apply to you selfish assholes that hack games to cheat then get banned).

So far the GOP is 0 for 3.

It is simply impossible for me to view the Tesla icon without it morphing into a swastika. Even if Elon and every board member is removed and all of their shares taken with no payout I would still never buy from them. The brand is irreversibly damaged.

America has a mentality of "I'm paying you for your time, not the quality of your work." Even if you complete the work assigned to you they will throw a hissy fit if you leave one minute early because that is one minute they are paying you that you arent available if something goes wrong.

It's all ass backwards because it is cheaper in the short term to pay for cheap labor with low reliability and high availability than for expensive labor with high reliability and medium to low availability. If you take the high availability away from the former you are left with nothing.

The phrase "let go" is definitely PR speak. It makes it sound less aggressive than "fired" or "terminated".

I have heard arguments that "fired" has the implication that the employee is at fault and did something bad, but the argument is weak.

A thing to keep in mind is that a lot of tech companies still think people are more productive in the office and force you to come in, despite having metrics that say otherwise.

Trump is absolutely doing that. Did you completely ignore Trump's "homegrown" statement?

It's not officially written anywhere, but multiple scanlation groups have stated such a rule. It is usually a courtesy thing and looked down upon to scanlate a series someone else is working on since scanlation takes a lot of work, and as you said these people are volunteers so they are unpaid.

What OP is saying is a real problem though. Sometimes there are really poor translations and due to this courtesy other groups will avoid working on the same series.

I agree with the OP here. Courtesy is one thing, but if your scanlations were superior in the first place there wouldn't need to be competing translators. As with all art, you want to put the best foot forward and do the art piece justice when presenting it. Many of these scanlations are straight up lazy, and others are downright damaging the original work.

And there it is.

This isn't really a question, but I'll respond with my experience.

As a kid I had a mother that was incredibly health conscious. She always fed me "alternative" foods with strong flavors. It instilled a hatred for health foods in me, but it also changed my taste buds to have a particular distaste for sweet foods.

I am now in my 30s. I still eat healthy. I don't binge eat. I stay away from overly salty foods. And guess what. My health is still a mess. I get what feels like food poisoning all the time. A lot of foods still make me sick.

At some point you need to realize that eating healthy is not always a solution. Healthy foods do not work for everybody, whether it be a severe dislike of the taste or allergies to the additives that are frequently required to make health food taste good. I have begun thinking it is better to have too many nutrients than not enough. It is better to drink a lot of juice loaded with sugar than it is to be dehydrated.

I would rather live a happy life for 40 years than an unhappy one for 80, especially given the current direction of politics and the fact I am now 50% microplastics.

In the end, you need to find out what works best for you and what makes you the happiest version of yourself.
