Yea, well. Facebook will eventually disallow you to even search marketplace without a face picture. Punishment for not feeding their databases I guess. It doesn't matter if you have 100 friends. It doesn't matter if you post 1,000 pictures of your farm. That's some dystopian ish right there. People have definitively noticed and many in my circles have refused to engage because of it. Good riddance.

Well, this "semi-noob" has only been here since 2007. I can see it for what it is. People simply aren't free to speak their minds here any longer due to hivemind bubble. If you think trying to point out a serious issue is "sneering", well, you're just proving my point. People simply can't bare to hear dissenting opinions any longer, and won't due to downvoting anything that impinges on their own sense of cognitive dissonance. This post's topic was "outrage fatigue". I am on topic with my original assertion.

WHAT. You're far off base. You go to school to learn a skill or trade. Go to the bar, church or anywhere else to socialize if that's your goal.

It's very VERY bad for women if you REALLY think about it from a perspective where life and death are on the line. Think about it: You need brain surgery to remove a tumor. You have a slim chance of surviving the procedure. Maybe your doctor is there in that position ONLY because they are the best. But, MAYBE they are only there based purely upon some non-skill based factor as well. Do you take that chance? No. You don't. You seek out that Asian or White male brain surgeon because there is no doubt that they are there ONLY because they are skilled and not due to some other indelible physical quality. This DEI stuff only hurts the talented women who ARE there based upon merit: because you have to stereotypically assume that they aren't the best of the best. It sucks, but this is what they have done to the workforce by pushing this backwards ideology.

...and at the current admin's burn rate of almost 10% GDP deficit / year via printing of money, that 10K gonna be worth more like 5k at the present clip in 5 years. Honestly, reducing gov't spending by 50% to fit within the confines of the tax base simply isn't going to happen. So, with that in mind, that 5k (in future real terms) to move to a state with terrible rental laws for landlords (if that's the long term goal) just simply doesn't make any sense at all.

This is not new or novel.

Faulty math because the map that the points are being plotted on needs to match the type of calculation performed for the line placed upon it.

Of course it's going to be off with any other method than that of the map itself.

This is so old that it was on the frontpage of Digg before Reddit was popular.
