Silly prole. Why would I read about Marxism on how to play the stock market?

Go be a good cog now and create that surplus value for me to extract.

This is the proletariat view of the world.

For anyone who isn’t just a common wage worker and is aware of how markets work, it is very definitely not the case.

A cog in the machine cannot perceive the machine’s changing output.

I think that’s a different discussion.m. We can make excuses all day for how people end up with extreme views. It doesn’t change anything. The reason it occurs is part of human nature, a weakness that one has to choose to overcome on a daily basis or not. Choosing wrong too often and there might be no way back.

I find this most evident in people who suddenly shift right when they end up in some sex scandal, they move towards the group that is most forgiving of such events and lose themselves in the shift. Russel Brand and Musk are two examples.

Knowledge seeking for the sake of knowledge seeking is something totally different. It requires accepting one knows nothing and despite all the knowledge gather now knows less. It requires a humility that can be uncomfortable.

Few end up adding significant new knowledge. Those who do maintain a humbleness as the recognize the efforts who came before them.

Those who pretend become exploiters, it takes little effort to reveal their search was only ever for loopholes. Those people are another form of extremist.

Stupid people don’t know how stupid they are. They reject the very notion. It’s how one stays stupid in a world with all the world’s knowledge at our fingertips.

Turns out access to knowledge was not a threat to the leaders in history. The very idea they were concerns may be oversold.

Being born in the same town means there is a high chance of it being a relative of the girl and her grandmother.

Or a mini loaf pan at half the price and twice the capacity.

Keeping in mind the DSM used the word retarded until DSM V came out in 2013.

Another history fact around the DSM is that homosexuality was a mental disability but that was removed way back in 1974 and society didn’t shift as quickly with it as it has now.

The issue with retard is that it is describing an actual medical condition and swapping the word isn’t going to change that.

A rockstar developer doesn’t churn out unmaintainable, by definition.

The number of people who think they are rockstar developers but clearly aren’t is probably close to the number of cover bands who see themselves as undiscovered rockstars.

I’ve worked with people like this, their best hope is to fail upwards into management.

The only way to know if you are competent coder is for other coders to tell you. If none are telling you, your imposter syndrome isn’t.

There are other signs as well but these aren’t taught in formal education. An example being the ability to recognize how your old code could be improved. The way requirements stack over time makes this a certainty in any product.

Just a moment. Need to find the tweezers and magnifying glass.

See the above comment for an example of how America became a failed a state and why it will remain as such.

Commenter didn’t say work. It’s true in all circumstances.

You recognizing it as true in the work place by understanding women are expected to be like men in the work place. Because men are not expected to show emotions.

Your counter is actually an example.

Are you sure those home renovation workers weren’t trying to make conversation, might even being bragging about their own project attempts and you being a women had nothing to do with how they interact with any other customer?

Your comments here are an example of double standard.

You are asking for men issues to stay in groups specific to that issue. Anyone who did the same for questions about women would be called a misogynist.

Agreed. I think moderating comments needs to be banished. The community can self-moderate with voting.

Banning users is pointless. Accounts can be created very easily. With decentralized one doesn’t even need to go to the lengths one does with Reddit.

Moderating should be reserved for keeping a sub’s posts relevant to the group’s purpose and nothing else.

Based on the dark humor groups on Facebook, I am quite confident this is what racists actually believe. Transphobes too.

The poorly educated think dark humor is a joke an acceptable way to joke about ideas they hate.

When a study linking dark humor to intelligence was released, the knuckle draggers clucked and strutted about, thinking their hatred indicated intelligence.

“Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.”

👏Always👏be👏refactoring👏

50/50 chance they believe you.

Like those kindergartens.

Vegans need to downvote anyone that disagrees when them is proof their ideas cannot stand scrutiny. They do not relish in a debate of in any capacity. They don’t even have original ideas, it’s the same couple talking points because it’s ideology base. They call themselves converts but won’t accept it’s a religion.
