Any language is good to start with. When you learn a language pick one that makes sense to you. The main thing you are learning is not the language it’s how to change how you think about problems. From there the differences between languages are technical and any language can be conquered in time except JavaScript because fuck JavaScript.

Lol this is hilarious! I want to see the prompt they used cause my god they didn’t think it through

God both sides are toxic AF and here I am simply want to know if correlation is causation.

Amen. I told a coworker this in a meeting recently that I felt like the dumbest person on the call and I loved it. They’re doing development stuff I never would have thought in my dreams I could do and yet here I am lol

If you haven’t met a dumb person, you are the dumb person.

I mean, it works for me!

One cider does not a drunk make but one joint will get me stoned. 3 drinks a week at this point compared to a joint or 3 a day. Was a pretty big shift.

Sorry I should have quantified that younger than 30 to me was my childhood lol. I didn’t clean up until I had kids.

I envy you it reminds me of my childhood. I’m currently enjoying a cider taking a break in from the heat doing yardwork.

I use the old fashioned radio to find podcasts. I listen to CBC Radio 1 here in Canada which has programs they highlight random podcasts.

I listen to “The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge” daily because I’m a politics nerd. Highly recommend if you want insight on how Canada operates and how the world works.

I personally think it is that western culture is a disease. We have lost our connection to nature. We don’t have a community. We don’t have a family. We are exceedingly living in Ayn Rands dystopian individualist bullshit and it is corrupting on the soul.

Big ups my GenX peeps. Last generation to know how to do things offline 🤣🤣🤣

It’s absolutely baffling how the gig-economy had been normalized.

I am a news junkie. Just this week they were talking to a business expert about youth unemployment (note it’s bad everywhere but it’s starting to get bad in 1st world now so we are caring finally) and his response was yeah it’s bad but basically we have to get used to a future of hustling doing multiple gigs with no health benefits because that’s where things are going.

Fucking government is bent over the barrel letting industry define the workers terms of engagement it’s disgusting.

Can it also be the summer of George? Lol

Compulsory “If you’ve been paying attention we have known about this and every other catastrophic event since at least the 1970’s. We aren’t listening to the right people.”

Millions if not billions of people are going to be severely at risk and even die. The vast majority of these people will be brown or black. The majority of these people will be children.

We as a species should be ashamed putting the well being of a small few over the majority.

The optimism is we will science our way out of this. Humanity is like a monkeys paw.

So I guess what I’m saying is on the individual level everyone open their eyes don’t be a dick and leave the world better than you came into it. Beyond that, sit back and enjoy the show no one really knows what they’re doing but the majority of us are doing our best.

This is a fun one. I’m with you but I was friends with a recovering addict once and his exception was they should stay illegal what we should focus on is de-criminalization.

Yup this is not the path forward. Education is. Assistance is. Bans are stupid.

Do you work with a team/department? Just say let’s go out for dinner/drinks after work. Just like outside work expect maybe 50% to commit.

Same as any relationship you just ask. Make it easy and do a group drinks after work first then if you hit it off plan something.

I swear as someone who overthinks everything it amazes me I don’t with this and other people do lol

“the commons” has largely been privatized online. That is the result of what you have stated.

We should all be ashamed, and afraid.
