Plenty of people unironically using it believing it's an actual argument

Yes that's what I said. You unironically using it. Cringe.

What's interesting is a family friend I know gets laid off twice a year in his unionized workplace at a steel mill(?), but he always gets the same job back. The company just can't afford to keep everyone on staff during slow months. He makes bank though, so it works out

And also full of people unironically using the term bootlickers

My roommate stomps around like he's a 600lb land whale. He's like 140lb. I'm a bigger dude and sometimes people don't even hear me coming. Be considerate and walk like a normal person

You can be a perfectly good dev and not enjoy working in the cli, especially when there are good enough alternatives

Customers get charged for maintenance between the ISP and their house

They really don't, customers get charged what they need to be charged to support the network, not just the last mile to your house. Companies don't get internet connectivity for free, either, paying significantly more than consumers at every turn

That's.. why they charge customers fees

Sure, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be punished

You're getting downvoted but juvenile detention exists for a reason. All these people out here thinking children don't understand that laws apply to them should be wondering why kids aren't murdering each other or committing theft daily

I think until anyone in government sees consequences of their actions then nothing will change. If it's used against them, maybe they'll help legislate against it

To be completely fair, a layer builds up in the pipe which stops the lead being an issue unless you royally fuck up like Flint. That said, it still should've been fixed

I'd say luck will sometimes make you rich, and being good at what you do will sometimes make you rich. Being good at what you do and also lucky has more of a chance of making you rich

It's *usually not entirely luck, you generally have to sort of know what you're doing

Nope, it's illegal in the US. File a complaint with the FTC and they'll look into it.

I'm almost certain it is

So being recommended videos is bad now? Dam

I've found it great for tracking down specific things in libraries and databases I'm not terribly familiar with when I don't know the exact term for them

It's more user friendly in a thousand minor ways, such as installing programs, which makes it much more user friendly overall. At least MacOS has a consistent UI that doesn't massively change every single update

Ah yes, I love WSL deciding to consume 12 of my 16gb of memory

They're significantly better than windows, and you could make an argument on the stability front compared to Linux
