That's why we switched, on both closed- and open-source projects. There's just no winning an argument that puts you on the same side as racists.

At one point I was considering how, if someone asked on one of our public repos, I'd say "no" but at the same time post a receipt for a donation to the NAACP just to prove I wasn't racist. Thankfully I realized how stupid an idea that was before it came to that.

Performative wokeness is a cancer, man. Did any of this arguing and vitriol actually help any marginalized group in STEM? I really fucking doubt it.

Imagine how many emergency room visits could be avoided every year if they just taught this in sex ed class.

I don't DM and tell.

Thank you boo

I don't even need to read the message to know it's a scam. No one ever DMs me otherwise.

There's a starving furry artist out there who would jump at the chance to take your commission.

The article is full of typos, too.

Who let this dreck out the door? Did Forbes lay off all their editors or what?

That's what I figured after thinking about it, that there had to be some procedural reason for it.

Which, funnily enough, would also qualify the murders as first-degree under Minnesota state law: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.185

The suspect faces several charges of second-degree murder.

This baffles me. Looking up your fucking victim's addresses isn't enough evidence of premeditation to qualify for first-degree charges?

As someone with a lot of web backend engineering experience, this had me yelling at the screen at a few points, but really cool nonetheless.

The problem is that my brain would immediately jump to picking apart the premise of the question. How did it happen? Is it permanent? Is your consciousness trapped in there or is it gone forever? The kind of thing that's obviously just going to piss off the person asking.

I feel like what the question is really asking in a very roundabout way is whether you love that person unconditionally. That even if something happens such that they can no longer be the person you fell in love with, that you'll still love them just the same. But that's the problem: as a cynic, I believe all love is conditional; if it doesn't seem like it, that just means you haven't found out what the conditions are yet.

Obviously that's not the right answer. So to me, it just seems like the question is a trap. Either you accept the preposterous hypothetical and give some sappy answer to make the other person happy and avoid a fight, or you get outed for the cold, unfeeling asshole that you actually are inside. But maybe that's the point.

In the unlikely event that I end up in another relationship, what the hell is the right answer to the worm question? I'm pretty damn sure I'd get it wrong.

You? Where else?

Nah, REAL MEN dip their balls in a boiling hot solution of concentrated sulfuric acid and 30% hydrogen peroxide. So cleansing.

I got tons more but my legs are starting to fall asleep.

This is my biggest pet peeve. There's tons of businesses around me that leave their Open signs on all night.

It's like, what's the point then? It's not like there's anyone out there shopping for a fucking mattress at 1 in the morning.
