According to the law, it is. (Even without castle doctrine a random stranger trying to gain entry into your house is usually grounds for self defense).
If the kid didn't open the door, then I agree with you. But even the kid admitted to at least grabbing the handle of the door. I'd personally never do that at stranger's or even an acquaintance's house.
From a moral standpoint, please don't try to walk into stranger's houses uninvited.
I would too, but it really depends on the company. If I can do it, I'm WFH for the rest of my career for companies < 1000 people.
FAANG (or whatever it is these days) are awful fucking people to work for. One of the developers I respect most in my career walked out on .5M in bonuses on Amazon because of their ranking system for his employees. I was shocked.
But depending on the employer it's still a very good gig. But if you're at the wrong place, it's like the upper circles of hell.
I don't know why anyone is surprised by this. It's been the plan since the insurrection failed. They need to nail down R support with an iron fist single they'll never get the popular vote again.
That lack of anything Isreal related is fucking frustrating.
Not really...the average person doesn't care. It's two bullies throwing rocks at each other in a sandbox halfway around the world. If anything, the Palestinian protests of late made the US care even less about it. IMO, just pull out of that whole shit show and let them sort it out on their own.
Have you talked to real people lately? I thinking I'm leaning towards the dystopian version of humanity.
