    The amount of confused euros ITT is hilarious. Yeah, the states is very backwards. Paper prescriptions, paper checks, paper social benefits cards. What most people don’t realize, like in the meme, just because a pharmacy gets a prescription doesn’t mean they don’t call into the docs office to confirm the script. These are rituals from a bygone era that should have been long replaced by computers and near instantaneous communication.



  • Not GP, but reading gnarly code and making definitive statements about who/what/when/where/why such that your documentation is accurate, especially in a corpo context where there are not clear boundaries of responsibility, requires quite a bit of brain power. Not to mention the ever increasing entropy in systems driven by profit means that whatever you write in terms of documentation will have a pretty short shelf-life. The code might stick around as an unholy amalgamation of copypasta after a refactor or two.

    One time worked in an office building with a pretty shitty floor on the second floor. Wouldn’t have surprised me if it wasn’t really all that structurally sound, because I could bounce my leg, just like I am doing right now, and the dude sitting next desk over could feel it in the floor. I ended up moving to another desk to avoid the conflict with the coworker… and in case the building was shitty enough that it was a weak spot in the floor.












  • Like they’ll test me on frameworks or ask me some very archaic questions which is just so frustrating to get through like I haven’t had that much experience that they’re demanding from me even in entry level positions it’s been like that.

    Unfortunately, there is probably someone in the same boat as you but has a passion for the field and is able to answer all of their tricky questions. Be the best at what you do. Did you immediately go home after these interviews and study everything they asked that you didn’t know? As an early career technologist, you’ll need to put in a lot of hours studying and applying knowledge. You’re at a disadvantage because you need to prove to them that you will add value to their organization. A CS degree isn’t enough. I’ve interviewed and rejected plenty of MS degree holders too. What matters is demonstrated ability. If you’ve not setup a portfolio of personal projects, or contributions to FOSS, you need to do that. And I’m not talking about vibe coded slop, but your own blood, sweat, and tears. That will demonstrate practical skill. Getting involved in a FOSS community can make a big difference in increasing your network and getting you exposed to others that might be looking for hands. Plus, it is cool and you’ll meet really smart peeps. If you really want to be RIF proof, you need to be really good and have a very good network of people that would love to work with you.

    TL;DR: git gud


  • No. That is far, far below sufficient. An example of a rebellion is when the confederacy decided slaves were more important than unity and literally attempted to form another government. There are many other examples of rebellion you can draw from history, and from fiction that all seek usurping power and wholesale replacement of the existing government. That is a whole different ballgame than harassing some cosplaying nazis that are overstepping the bounds of civility and getting butthurt that people aren’t licking their boots.



  • Extraordinary rendition is absolutely illegal, especially when it is done without due process and against a court’s order such as the case of Garcia or the dozens of other people flown to CECOT. “Just following orders” isn’t a defense. And I’m sorry to say, but as a federal law enforcement officer, they specifically chose to put themselves and their families on the line for their country. That’s why they are paid and trained and supplied with all manner of paramilitary equipment. What cowards to hide behind masks. They should be proud of the job they are doing and be recognized for it since it is totally within the confines of the law, right? And even more so, to hide behind their families’ “safety” as if that absolves them from their shit behavior. No masks for law enforcement. They are public servants and must follow the law.



  • is by definition a rebellious act.

    This is conflating “rebellious” with a rebellion. Rebellion is an uprising that resists and is organized against one’s government. The scale and degree matter, here. Your definition would turn any civil disobedience into a “rebellion” which is farcical on its face.
