  • So writers are like "we will write a sitcom about this poor family of 10. Let's give them a big house to fit them all". That is ridiculous.

    I won't continue debating with you. I am amazed at how are you trying to justify everything about the show. Actually you are like the ones I saw on the fan sub on Reddit.

  • There were many episodes where there were more than 6 people in I Love Lucy. I mentioned All in the Family because it was realistic and was showing people financially struggling even with two jobs. They lived in a house but it was small with one bathroom.

    Even Seinfeld had a small apartment. Many other shows manage to show people living in small apartments. And even with rent control, it isn't realistic at all.

    So that is clearly not the real reason.

  • That's completely not the reason. How other shows manage to show small apartments and poor people houses?

    Showing regular people living in big apartment is more appealing to the public. Shows from the 70s or before were more realistic. Mary Tyler Moore was living in a small apartment and sleeping in the sofa despite having a regular job. In All in the family, they were financially struggling especially because of the 70s inflation. Lucy and her husband were living in a small apartment.

    Things did change in the 80s and we started seeing families living in big houses with cars. Even Roseanne who normally depicted a working class family was living in a big house and could afford many things.

  • And Homicide. When I started watching it, I was surprised when some episodes ended but the investigation didn't lead to anything and the cops didn't really care.

    In The Wire, I really liked when the cop found out the code used by dealers. He started saying "Those kids didn't go to school so the code should be simple..."

  • Sometimes I ended up with +50 tabs because I just don't close them. But when the computer restart and Firefox ask me to restore them or start a new session, I always go for a new session. And I never felt that I lost something.

  • Same here, my CEO and other board directors did a long video telling that we released an impressive AI feature that will change the world and they didn't even explain what the feature is. It is nothing than text summarizer that will extract relevant keywords. We already did that without LLM. Now in the company, people working on AI things are getting promotion and raises.

  • I think you are really exaggerating there. It doesn't happen for all people coming from SEA or northern Africa. You don't see all the people from SEA or north Africa being pulled and scanned every time.

    I don't know for the US but clearly not in Europe. You really need to think about why you always getting scanned.

    I have read somewhere that someone is always scanned at the airport because they were in the S database of France.

  • Like I said, I don’t know the full context of OP’s situation—I just wanted to offer another possible explanation, which may or may not apply to them.

    I’ve come across similar comments from people who are convinced they’re facing discrimination, but when you take a closer look at the facts, it’s not always so clear-cut. For example, I once saw someone say they always get rejected from jobs, often instantly, and were certain it was because of the photo on their résumé. But when you actually read their CV and look at the roles they applied for, it turned out they didn’t meet any of the listed requirements. Having two years of bootcamp experience won’t typically land you a role at a startup asking for four years in a specific tech stack.

    If you always assume you're a victim, it can prevent you from growing and might lead you to overlook areas where you could improve.

    Again, I’m not denying that discrimination exists or saying OP is imagining things—I just think it’s important to consider all angles.

  • I don’t know the full context of your situation, but sometimes it’s easy to fall into the mindset of always feeling like a victim. I’ve seen people of all backgrounds get scanned or checked at airports. Have you considered if there might have been a specific reason you were stopped?

    Personally, I’ve been stopped several times too, and in some cases, I later realized it was due to something simple, like forgetting to take keys out of my pockets, which triggered the sensors.

  • When I started working for my current company there were really few meetings and I didn't know that it was possible. Everywhere I worked we had all the Scrum meetings and tech discussions meetings. At that time it was relatively a small company but not that small.

    Now the company is getting bigger and some persons try to bring all the scrum shit. Even for small features, we do meetings to discuss them and last for hours. Some meetings have a big agenda that we always only tackle half of it. Sometimes we decide to do something with big impact and then someone suggests to include a person from another that doesn't even know our scope. And then we get "maybe we shouldn't do this as it will maybe have some negative impacts", "maybe we should add an exception" without even giving data to support their claim.

  • I don't know but check out the show All in the Family which was aired in the 70s. I don't think they have exaggerated the character of Archie Bunker. I really think that there were many people like him during that era. And he is exactly like the pro Trump that we are seeing right now.

    I remember him saying in one episode "Nixon is intelligent as he knows how to avoid paying taxes". That argument comes up from pro Trump people.

  • That's their model, they make everything easy and take the loss. But after everyone started using them, they can do whatever they want.

    I remember 10 years ago a collegue is telling me that that Amazon was great. You order something, it arrives and if there is an issue with the order, you can order a replacement by yourself and it will arrive before even you returned the first item. Few weeks ago I had an issue with an order and you need to contact the customer service for a solution. Chat was not working, you can request a call back but it wasn't working either, they give you a number to call but it isn't working. 4 years ago it was much easier to contact them.
