Waiting for the night to fall... they don't love you like I love you
I couldn't finish Berserk but this is giving Kentaro Miura vibes and I love it
This is my experience. It's fading with time. There are certain situational triggers, and sometimes out-of-the blue cravings, but they become less frequent and easier to ignore, slowly, as time goes on.
I'm talking about the level of organization. There's a difference between saying "the best way to resolve this conversation is to ask everyone present for a vote" and "there's going to be another cyclical election soon, these will be the matters we're going to vote on." Counting ayes and nays doesn't make things a capital-D Democracy, it's the institutionalization of these practices.
It doesn't sound like there are any elections, or representatives, or bills or candidates to vote on. Just conducting an ad-hoc "all in favor say aye" type of vote doesn't mean it's a democracy. Just because many people come to a consensus doesn't mean it's a democracy.
This is the way. There's some good advice but it's not universally applicable. The problem is, Uncle Bob defends his philosophy as if it was, diminishing the advice's reputation.
I did a bootcamp for Java, and lucked into a junior Android dev role, and man, I've really grown to love Kotlin. It really does have all the things I liked about Java, like type safety, but it's so much more concise. It was pretty confusing at first, a lot of Kotlin is just syntactic sugar, and you kinda need to know what Kotlin is cutting out to make sense of things. But once I got into it, it just feels so much faster and expressive than Java.
I'm really happy when I see Kotlin being adopted outside of Android, like in backend services and such. But that rarely happens.
I've heard in a couple of places that the TV, streaming, and movie systems can't really make an appealing offer to top-tier YouTubers. YouTubers want the prestige of being a "real" content producer, and not "just" a YouTuber, but non-YT producers can't offer the level of control one has over their own channel. It's not even about money, it's about taking orders from some executive about not only content but monetization as well.
The problem is capitalist libertarians don't see corporations as a power structure, just simply as an expression of individual effort. There's no libertarian conception of a corporation as a collective unit or a way to exert influence; libertarians see a corporation as a random group of individuals who voluntarily join a leader.
As a former Pizza Hut/Papa John's/Marco's/Hungry Howie's driver, totally fine with this. Food delivery drivers are typically underpaid, especially considering how expensive cars are.
I kinda want to say that delivery services are charging what delivery should cost to compensate drivers fairly, but I don't know how much of the customer pays go to the drivers and how much the delivery service keeps. I wouldn't mind the upcharge on menu items if the driver got paid well.
Seconding this. I like good food, sure. I like bad food too, and I don't care what other people think about that.
I admit I hadn't read anything about the situation before that post - I only knew that GTA VI leaks occurred and wanted to know what the GTA community was saying. I read more after posting and people say Kurtaj is autistic, and I didn't mean to imply that autism is something that requires "recovery." It's just the way people describe Kurtaj... like he's some kind of mad super villain. He's violent, well-spoken, extremely talented, irreverently defiant, obsessed with digital extortion, and reckless to his own detriment. Either Kurtaj is a highly singular personality or there's something fishy going on here.
Can you elaborate more? What are "corporate simps" saying about Kurtaj exactly? If he's mentally unwell, shouldn't people be supporting efforts for his recovery?
Using Kotlin. I switched careers to Android development almost 2 years ago, and maybe it's my first "real" language, I really like Kotlin and IntelliJ. I've been wanting to learn low-level stuff, too, maybe I'll try C or C++. Or C# since that's what my backend devs use. But this year's puzzles have been pretty intense, so maybe I'll wait on that
