I'm very sorry that happened to your son, and that you and your family had to endure it.

I don't think you're right.

For example not every Trump supporter walks around with a MAGA hat. It's one thing to anonymously vote for Trump, it's another to make it public and deal with all the social backlash.

Driving a new Tesla is pretty much a MAGA hat.

I'm all for capitalism, but still don't understand how people can work in that cost-cutting department.

If I was working there, Id quit the moment I realized what my job was about. Id honestly rather be homeless that get a paycheck from that kind of work.

I might end up visiting Portland just to see the airport.

How do you get to that correlation? Anecdotal or is there some evidence?

>> 1: Being neurodiverse is a superpower

I have a small child on the spectrum. Hes very hard working and its good he is, because pretty much everything is 3x more difficult for him to learn. Language, coordination, emotional regulation. Before diving into this world I also thought it had some benefits, now that I see the daily struggle I dont think it does.

There's some evidence ludopathy has a genetic component (aside from obviously environmental).

I think it's cruel for us as a society to allow that to be exploited for financial gain.

I can't go back to coding without copilot. I agree it's a real efficiency booster.

I love it. I too started programming with QBasic in the 90s. I spent many hours modifying (and breaking) the code for bananas.bas and nibbles.bas to give myself all kinds of superpowers.

I haven't touched QB in decades but I'm glad someone did and had fun working on it.

They spend that amount on a bike, because they first bought a $300 bike, then upgraded to a $1500 one, etc. It's the same with guitars, you can start cheap and figure out if it's really for you.

Your parents would have to specifically install the Epic Game Store.

If they did (which I doubt unless they're avid gamers) the only thing available for purchase there is game related.

What if you temporarily remove the neglected pups, care for them while young, teach them to operate in a "normal" rat society and then reinsert them?
