The craziest part of the justice system is how dependent on money it is.

I am in a weekly support group for people with the same offense category as me, sometimes crimes not as bad as mine. Most of the members in this group are working class - hourly jobs, no savings, no emergency funds, government lawyers. They mostly had to serve time, had to register as offenders, have strict stipulations.

Meanwhile I was able to borrow money from my parents, got a good lawyer, and all I have to do is check in with probation once a month for a few years.

What surprises be about reddit is that they get advertisers and ads while having one of the largest porn communities.

No one talks about this, and people are quick to say "Tumblr/4chan is just porn!", but not only is there a myriad of porn subreddits, many of them have OC content (people posting themselves), who thanks to reddit's new profile followers feature have a fanbase. One only needs to look at /r/sexsells (NSFW) to see this in action.

With the shutdown of Craigslist personals, people are (using and have been using) reddit for hookups as well. Crazy that they "get away" with the #1 killer of social media platform ad revenue.

Eric Elliott is a joke even in the JS community.

It's cheap, safe, and tech nerds love Asian girls for some reason

Salespeople aren't selling to you or me. They're selling to other companies.

Nice blog post.

Study history and/or industrial design even though I'm horrible in the latter.

The author probably got bored and since no one used it he pulled it down.

Most people will just stick the popular libraries even if they suck, so small ones die with the authors interest.

Move to backend or another domain entirely like smart developers do.

I know it's dumb but for some reason the large amounts of Rails people moving to Elixir bother me. I don't want the language to be synonymous with web devs :/

you can't seriously believe indias rape problem is "normal" or that it's not an issue compared to other countries. It's an order of magnitude worse.

I've been reading the "primary" sources for stoicism, so Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, etc. the book the other commenter recommended is a good start and overview though.
