Underperforming? Big tech companies are reporting record profits and major layoffs in the same press releases.

This is also been my cope.

By the time software engineers are fully automated, then executive assistants, accountants, business development people, marketers, administrative staff, researchers, and HR will also have been fully automated. At that point we have a revolution on our hands and not having a coding job will be the least of your worries.

(or it happens slowly enough that we have time to adjust)

Terns are great bikes

My general advice is to never buy a bike from a company that doesn’t have a core business in building non electric bicycles.

Those are high performance mountain bikes with carbon fiber frames, top of the line components, carbon wheels. This is an aluminum city commuter and 4.5k is at the high end of that class of ebike.

You’re getting very confused about this thread. That medically trained comment was in reference to a hypothetical situation laid out by some other commenter in which a doctor recommends a lobotomy.

If in this hypothetical world where a trained and certified doctor recommends a lobotomy, then it should be your right as a human to take that medical advice and apply it as you see fit. Some legislator with nearly zero medical training and a political agenda should not decide what is or is not medically acceptable.

Bringing it back to the real world: the same legal framework that blocks conversion therapy is the same legal framework that blocks hormone treatment. Whether I like it or not, I don’t think the government should decide what treatments we are allowed to have. I should be able to choose my doctor (even if you think they’re a shitty doctor) and take their medical advice. You should be able to choose your doctor (even if I think they’re a shitty doctor) and take their medical advice.

Feel free to replace the word “doctor” with “counselor” or with “priest” or with “accountant”; then replace “medical advice” with “therapeutic treatment” or with “religious guidance” or with “financial advice”.

All these professions (except priest) have some credential requirement with a bar roughly equivalent to the amount of damage they can do. If we as a society have agreed to their credential, we should be free to take their advice.

I’ll refer you to my comment that you’re replying to.

“If you, your child, and your doctor all agree…”

The counselor in the Supreme Court case is a certified Licensed Professional Counselor by the state of Colorado.

Oh the better take is “my medically trained and board certified doctor says my kid needs a medical procedure but some 80 year old state congressman who needs his grandkids to unlock is iPhone says I shouldn’t, so I won’t”

Yeah probably

We need some consistency here.

If you, your child, and your doctor all agree that taking hormones and puberty blockers is the best thing for them, it should be allowed.

If you, your child, and your doctor all agree that the best thing for them is to take conversion therapy, then that should be allowed.

Have you tried just doing negatives?

Hold yourself in the top of the push up position then as slowly as you can drop into the lower position with your chest on the floor. The slower the better. When you’re on the floor, reset and go again.

Do 10 in the morning and 10 at night for 2 weeks and I guarantee you will be able to do at least one real push up.

There is no law requiring 60 votes. Only a senate rule, which can be overturned with 51 votes.

It’s not factual that democratic senators are blocking the bill. Republicans have a majority in both houses and can pass the bill at any time.
