Wow, what do you have against models? I mean, I know that the trope is that they aren’t very smart, but the same trope applies to firemen, so why pick on models?

“project manager”… the corporate version of the brick breaker game. But with emails instead of a ball and paddle.

I think you are grossly overestimating the audience of this author. They are a “self published” author whose books are free and not read by many people.
If anything, she will see a massive spike in readers just because of curious people checking her out.

Everyone is different, after all you are literally adjusting the chemistry of your brain. But some people take a while to adjust to psych meds. I am very sensitive to psych meds and get all the weird side effects. It usually takes me about 3 months to let my body adjust to a new drug and get a real idea of how it’s going to make me feel. Admittedly I am taking more than just ADHD meds, but it can take a while to find the right thing. I have had many whose side effects started out sucking, but then went away or became tolerable. But even worse is the ones that start out perfect, but then slowly show their problem sides. It can be so difficult to switch when the side effect seems so minor at first but everything else is perfect.
Also, there are different meds and they can affect you differently. And there are different types of meds, some are stimulants and some are not.

I think I understand propaganda well enough. I think you underestimate people’s intelligence and misunderstand how propaganda affects people. In your own story of dealing with propaganda, when confronted with conflicting information, you realized your error, or were at least open to learning more. Or is it that you feel that you are so much smarter than the average conservative that they are just helpless compared to you? You are correct that they are full of fear and anger, but I don’t believe it was something that just happened to them without them being able to do anything about it.

Also, not fascist? He straight out said he wanted to be a dictator, he praised Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un and, Hungary’s authoritarian leader, Viktor Orban.

And as for his first term, even if we pretend that his policies and actions didn’t significantly worsen the spread of Covid, and wipe Covid from the slate, his presidency was still a nonstop shit show that separated children from their parents for cruelty’s sake, got service men and allies killed, exposed, got tortured, and got murdered a significant part of our foreign intelligence gathering community. And that is just skimming the top and pulling out the easy stuff.

You are correct, they aren’t Nazis, not even close. But they are full of hate. Enough hate that they would prefer to be thought of as stupid, or easily fooled rather than admit why they chose to vote for someone who who is an open fascist, “admirers” Nazi generals, and was best friends with a pedophile. Trump is not some unknown. He has was not only president before, but his presidency was was disastrous and he exited with the worst polls of any president ever. They knew exactly what they were getting. They weren’t fooled. They weren’t conned or hoodwinked. They didn’t even lack for choice. There were plenty of other little fascist wanna bees running around trying to get elected.
Stop infantilizing grown adults. If they “didn’t know what they were getting” it is because they chose not to know. They purposely chose someone that they knew would hurt them because they expect him to hurt the people that they hate more.

You must forgive them young Padawan, they still have fucks to give, or have only recently run out. They are still concerned with the “knowing” of things. It is only once you reach a severe and immeasurable deficit of fucks that you can completely let go of your personal pride and ego enough to admit that this shit is fucking ridiculous and you might as well just let Google/AI remember it for you.

Dude, there are at least 4 different “for” loop syntaxes in Js/Ts alone:

for (let num = 1; num <= 5; num++) {}.

for (const num of numbers) {}.

for (const num in numbers) {}.

this.numbers].forEach(num => {});

Also don’t forget ngFor and @for in html, and then the @for in sass/scss.

That’s 7 different for loops and I haven’t included the non-for loops, or even left Angular.

Once we include some scripting like I did just this week:

bash: for i in {1…5}: do … done

dos: for /L %%i in (1,1,5) do ()

Then you can just stfu if I feel the need to remind myself of the exact syntax for one of the 3 or 4 different for loop options in c#.

As a senior programmer I can’t write a for loop without the internet.
I can’t remember the last time I saw a job listing that didn’t expect me to be an expert in at least 5 languages. The best part is that halfway through the interview you learn that they are no longer using half the languages listed, and are “transitioning” towards 2 others that aren’t even listed. You want me to whip out examples written in Fortran, C++, Rust, JS, and some random word you claim is a language in 2 hrs without the internet? Bitch, I don’t even think I could get prewritten “Hello World” examples compiled in 5 different languages in 2 hrs, much less on machine that I have never seen before.

Unfortunately, it also partially remembers the first verse, and the chorus of Spoonman, but that shit has been stuck in its head for a couple billion years now…

I see that they included Sergeant Alvin York in this data set.

The people of Uvalde reelected the sheriff that let all those elementary students be murdered and tortured.

Some people think they are so ugly they are cute. However, when you suddenly surprise one on a dark path in the middle of the night, they are less cute and more nightmare fuel. The “recently revived road kill” look they usually sport, along with the teeth and the hissing, and the raised claws (very much all a defensive posture, but try telling that to the shit in my pants) don’t do much to endear them to people that live around them.

That’s called a bipolar disorder, welcome to the club.

Trump literally and blatantly committed treason. I’m sure we’ll get around to doing something about that soon.

On this day 20250315, after many years of searching, I have finally found my people. The logical ones.

If you have android you can set different ringtones for different calendars, and you can set up multiple reminders for each event.
I then have different calendars for different categories like appointments, bills, birthdays, work events, and then holidays and vacation days.
If you need something more persistent than that AMdroid let’s you set up alarms that make sure you are awake even after you dismiss it.

Nah, you see this mission needs someone real smart. And when someone talks about smart people in smart professions, do you think about astronauts? No of course not. (Unless they are really really old astronauts, like geriatric, then yes.) instead you think about rough necks. That’s right, you think of guys who drill holes in the ground.

I think as long as they throw a 10 lb bag of sugar down the hole before they start pumping then you don’t have to worry about it accidentally becoming a diet Coke.
