So Linux Mint then!

Market research?

I know someone with that.

I get that, why import stuff that you produce locally…

I try to never get imported food products that we make here… It just seems wasteful.

Happy to help

I had a less experienced person with me looking at some code.

I pointed out that a particular section of code is shit; just bad form, hard to debug and generally unpleasant to work with. I noted that the person that wrote this didn’t really know what they were doing, sure the code works and has been working for a long time, but this is not how we would do things.

They asked “wow, who wrote this?” I replied “it was me 13 years ago”; it is a great ice breaker, in a non-critical part of the system, new people realize we all have to start somewhere.

It also allows me to go over the standards we use, why we use them and how to simplify debugging.

I doubt it, I think the Miraka plant is produces mostly primary products not the secondary stuff.

Pretty sure I know the factory that this butter comes from. The Miraka plant; north of Taupō. Geothermally powered, restricts it to a relatively small region in NZ.

Got very excited

You can, and do.

It helps set the bar, it is a tool for determining how to assess what level of imbalance is reasonable.

It’s not the only tool, nor an I arguing for it to be.

Nothing about gender wars here.

Just because Facebook is shit, doesn’t make this any better.

I was making the point, that despite the fact that this is mildly ok. The test for anything that gives one group power over another, is to switch the groups.

If it’s still reasonable, than it is probably OK to keep it. If however it seems wrong after the switch, the bar to keep the power imbalance should be very high.

Agreed, but it is worse the way I put it…

Change the target to any other group and the outrage would be 100-10000 fold bigger.

Try it out, instead of Women rating men, try subbing in various minority groups or races.

Bonus points for the most offensive combinations…

e.g. Russians rating Ukrainians in your area…it can get pretty bad…I can think of many worse combos.

This is about the Epstein files isn’t it.

Easy fix, stop doing studies. The problem will just disappear.

Pretty sure it is…

Ah yes appeal to authority. There is a reason this is a well understood fallacy; assuming something is true (or false) because the speaker says it is flawed.

I’m doing my part

Just came here to say this.

The suggested videos are terrible.
