  • In which way am I complaining? I am explaining why calling a valid solution a bandaid might be construed as belittling their very real knowledge of this process. And how that is a regular pattern in a lot technical fields.

    And don’t give me this shit about ‘I’m not the person you were talking to’ This is an open forum not a direct/private message.


  • You can’t expect people who are knowledgeable about this stuff to just forever accept that someone asks for advice, gets told the solution, and then ignores/belittles the person with knowledge.

    This is our daily life experience. We get hired to be experts, and get told by non-experts that our solutions are not tenable every single day. Only for that solution to eventually be accepted when the user in question figures out their idea was not useful and the expert was correct.

    We have to put up with it at work, we are not obliged to accept it here.




  • I wanted to visit Paris my whole life. Pere Lachaise cemetery, the Eiffel tower, the museums, the food.

    When I got there the cemetery was filled with lying grifters trying to sell bullshit stories about the people interred there. The tower was full of pick pockets and scumbags ripping off tourists for thread bracelets. The museums were filled with influencers blocking access to a lot of the displays with their stupid duck lips and tag-along ‘photographers’ with their iphones .

    The only thing that lived up to the dream was the food. Oh my the food…

    Oh… And the experience of seeing a woman shitting in the seine in broad daylight. That was kind of exciting too…

    I can only speak for myself but yes even being conscripted would put you in the fair game category.

    If I am given the choice between slaughtering others or risking being shot in the back as I run away, I’m going to take the risk of getting shot.

    Someone will now come in and call me a liar and I really don’t mind. I do put the value of others lives above mine on a regular basis. Volunteer firefighters do it every day.

  • The periphery of small towns covered in makeshift tents and shanty style campers would disagree with your statement.

    These encampments used to be for seasonal workers passing through. But more and more become year-round all the time.

    You are certainly correct about the bulk of homeless making their way towards the cities, but there are a growing number of those who don’t.
