I haven’t used it on a project for money, but I have some tests in shunit2 and that alone encourages me to extract code to functions.

Enjoy! “I’ve chosen to find it charming.”

Either:

• you establish a convention and both learn to choose one perspective or the other
• one of you tries to do that and the other pretends not to agree, because it’s cute and fun as a form of teasing

Pick one and I hope whatever you pick works for both of you. Agreement is easy, but teasing can be fun.

Let it bother you, then don’t let it ruin your day. People are delightful and strange. 🤷‍♂️

XKCD. Ten Thousand.

You are very wrong about that, but I still never fired me. 🤷‍♂️

UPDATE: Downvoted for admitting that I, too, have battled severe clinical depression. Well done.

Run the automaton and enjoy the show.

The only person who won’t fire you is you.

I accept my fate.

None of them are real words. We. Made. Them. All. Up.

The mere fact that we’re answering your question provides sufficient context to clarify the group’s intentions, no?

Yes, but that’s why there is a sidebar.

You might be able to find people who accept you, even if the average Brit doesn’t. People have strange ideas about whom to hate and why.

It’s complicated and I can’t pretend to really understand your situation, but I trust that feeling pity for them works better for your mental health than any other reaction, including trying to ignore them. Whatever you do, don’t let yourself believe them.

Peace.

I can both understand and relate to being afraid of them. As you wrote, they do real damage and they seem intent on doing more and they seem to feel it’s their mission to do so. From what I can tell, they have been programmed to see the very concept of progressive thinking as evil. Fearing them seems sensible, because being aware of the threat makes it easier to defend against it or protect oneself from it.

But how exactly does it improve your life to hate them?

Are you afraid of them or do you hate them? Those seem like two independent opinions to me, but I’m wondering if you’re conflating them.

I’m afraid of them and I don’t hate them.

När det gäller en effekt som är väletablerad av vetenskaplig forskning och som har tendens att skapa missbruk (där det annars skulle aldrig finnas) låter det inte bara som fråga om personligt ansvar.

Samtidigt är det sant att evighets scrolling har blivit ett “Best Practice” mönster och pga det är det väldigt tufft att undvika utan att helt och hållet kasta mobilen i sjön.

I am definitely keeping an eye on my electricity bill right now, since I have Unmanic running full speed and it’s about 3 weeks into a 4-month job that might only save 1 TB.

Anything at least 2 points higher than the best rate of return you are getting now.

If you are dissatisfied with the free thing I gave you, then I am happy to send you a refund of your purchase price. 🤷‍♂️

That’s my preferred strategy.

UPDATE: Before any angry cards and letters, let me clarify. When I reply this way, I learn a lot about the person I’m talking to, including whether they are prepared to have a reasonable conversation about this complex matter. The response I’m hoping for is “Well played.”, because that tells me that they recognize how ridiculous we are both being. I can work with them.

If they are merely having a tough time and needed to vent, then they’ll notice that and we can move forward.

If they are truly that entitled, then I don’t mind what happens next, because they would probably never have accepted any help I could offer them, anyway.
