It's been massively effective and has put them on the defensive in a way no other criticism ever has.

It's not a functional language at all, even if it borrows ideas from FP languages. It's an imperative language through and through.

After having my honeymoon practically ruined by an owner's insane rules (posted EVERYWHERE throughout the place), I've vowed to never use an Airbnb again. Plus the junk fees are fucking insane.

Give me a proper hotel with proper service any day of the week.

This is completely different from electron. Nix dependencies will be shared if they share the same hash. Electron just blindly copies everything over every time.

Thank God someone else said it. I was constantly in an existential battle with IT at my last job when they were constantly forcing updates, many of which did actually break systems we rely on because Apple loves introducing breaking changes in OS updates (like completely fucking up how dynamic libraries work).

Updates should be vetted. It's a pain in the ass to do because companies never provide an easy way to rollback, but this really should be standard practice.

Gross. Yeah, no. You should definitely be asking for consent if nothing explicit has been said. I've done it many times and it was always appreciated (including by my now wife on our second date when I asked her if I could kiss her), but more importantly, it was the right thing to do. If for some reason there's a person that is put off by asking, that's kind of a red flag to be honest. Good communication in relationships and sex is essential and the foundation of any healthy relationship.

There are many ways of asking, too. It doesn't have to be some stitled "Would you like to have sex with me right now?" Also just generally communicating a lot before and during sex acts as consent and helps to build trust.

A lot of women have had truly awful experiences with men. Good communication and obtaining consent is not only treating women with the kindness and respect they deserve, but it also makes you stand out among the many men with poor social skills that make unwanted advances all the time.

Generally agree with your points, even though I"m honestly not sure what a union would look like like in practice.

But I just wanted to say that this job is definitely harder than plumbing. I usually do my own plumbing and it's not really that bad. It's not my favorite thing to do and can sometimes be a pain in the ass, but it's way less taxing imo.

Teaching kids is hard as fuck though and good teachers are priceless. Honestly quality caregiving of any sort is massively underrated.

It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. I remember losing hundreds of hours of progress on games due to memory card corruption. Or game cartridges/CDs no longer working, requiring you to buy a new copy. Or consoles getting straight-up bricked.

Hell, a ton of people have memories of blowing into N64/SNES cartridges to get them to work since they had notoriously unreliable connectors. But even though it was something that didn't work great, everybody has fond memories of doing it since there wasn't this amalgamation of voices from every direction telling you to be upset about it and clamoring for retribution. If something was broken, you got frustrated about it, complained to your friends, and then moved on with your life since there wasn't anything else you could do.

It's perfectly stable. Linux just generally attracts people who like to tinker and tweak things, in particular because it's much easier to do and gives you a lot of power and flexibility in making the machine your own.

My laptop running Arch Linux has remained problem-free for the last 6 years or so since I installed it.

If a company requires you to always be available, that's a huge red flag, honestly.

Homeschooling doesn't automatically mean child abuse. I was homeschooled and knew a lot of homeschooled kids, and none of us were ever abused.

A child abuser will abuse children and good people don't. It's as simple as that.

I tend to prefer similar movies as you and I loved the movie. It is a VERY fantastical, intelligent, existential, and heady movie. It's one of the most expert navigations of complex social dynamics I've ever seen and has an absolute shitload of cinema references and easter eggs to boot.

Don't let the surface fool you. The franchise is just a vehicle for Greta's ideas to reach a mass audience.
