The premise of this piece and the way it's written gives me the feeling this applies to neurodivergent people on the autism spectrum, not dummies in general.

> but rather because so many things in our culture and society has been subtly altered to benefit women more and more over several decades to the point that men feel like getting into a relationship, or just investing in a woman at all, is a great way of getting screwed over

I'm a man, and I don't have this experience. Your comment makes me curious — what has changed and in what way to make it more likely that men will be screwed over by women? Is it that women are more likely to reject/leave a man once he has invested, or are you thinking about something else entirely?

Practically every frontend framework uses components. The problem with React is that so many of its abstractions are leaky and forces a lot of accidental complexity on the developer.

Yes, the S&P500 could in a sense be said to implement a momentum based trading strategy.

I agree. I want to avoid the JVM. Also some functional features in Kotlin like immutable data structures are shallow and can be circumvented.

Also, practically it's only really viable to use IntelliJ as editor, since the language server in e.g. VS Code is pretty bad.

I was mainly thinking about pop psychology advice from the last ten years or so. But you have a good point.

I think it can set your free, but I don't think it's a necessity. I think it's totally possible to move on and process something without forgiving.

There's currently a cultural pressure to forgive, as if that's the only option. That makes things more difficult for those who are not able to forgive. There is no right way to process a wrong.

Ah I see, the common whataboutism combined with a little bit of antisemitism accusations. Good one.

> Well not like all others, this one has Jews in it, so it gets extra attention.

What's that supposed to mean?

> They have an interest in this conflict that is not the same as Israel's.

You are quite right, Israel's interest is to kill and displace the Palestinians, crush them as a people. Very few human right groups would have an interest that aligns with that.

Compare it to the Russia/Ukraine war. Not even close.

In any case Israel is not conducting a war, they are conducting a massacre.
