I wouldn’t go that far, but I see little evidence that young people deserve it more.

Lemmy seems to be pretty mad about their allowance, basically. It’s weird, usually the vibe is more that everyone else works at a FAANG.

And not get molested the whole way home by some guy that thinks he’s in the old boy’s club. And not get fired because they’re a married woman now, and need to stay home (literally normal there).

Like, people are losing interest in kids everywhere, but in the core Western countries nobody’s nervous to get married because they get socially demoted in the process. That’s a theme I’ve definitely heard from women over there, and probably why it’s happening faster.

I know it’s a very closed off nation with deep cultural roots that is very weary of outsiders…

Europe doesn’t get to use that excuse, and neither should they. I don’t care how different whale meat shashimi seems from foi gras, or bonsai from tulip arrangements.

Now this is a racist idea I can agree with.

(Although, I actually bet aliens are shit as well at the equivalent stage of development)

Appropriate user name, though.

Nobody takes that to be literally about geography anymore. Japan might be far away from Texas, but it’s politically a lot closer than Russia just a ferry ride away.

If I ever get around to writing my own language, it’s going to take parse trees off the disk, so people can deparse them into whatever they want and STFU.

Honestly, I’m young, and I know older people that would spend it better than their failkids.

That’s not everyone, of course, but maybe instead of blaming people born at a slightly different time we should focus on being mad that there’s no non-hereditary path to wealth in the first place.

I wouldn’t put it past them. The one I saw climb into the hay loft on an upright human ladder knew what it was doing. Ditto for the time they excavated out a secret base under the deck and started laying eggs inside.

Never a dull moment with those guys.

Flying short distances and ability to expand your neck like 4x also looks cool.

Like the cow one that’s just a sequence of differently-capitalised moos.

Old silicon, like IBM or something?

I’m not involved enough to really comment on that, but it’s not a 14 year old joke as much as a 1 or 2 year old joke if so.

Glad to hear it’s taking off. Hopefully browsers migrate to supporting it natively and depreciating JavaScript next.

Now the trick is to get through the resume filter, and make sure this guy interviews you. Then, FAANG job FTW.

Few people use just Typescript, though - there’s always dangerously exposed native libraries in the mix.

Look at those butthurt downvotes, haha. Currently 2 - 4.

Let me reach around mine to give you an upvote.

If a chicken could code, it would probably work like JavaScript. This is accurate.

When I had a flock, for example, sometimes one would flip over a bucket onto itself and then decide it must be night and go to sleep.

Yeah, this is why I’ve been slow moving over to a password manager. A single cliff-like failure point scares me.

Magical boxes aside, people understand and pay attention to things that are of direct personal interest to them. Transit schedules, typical prices of things in their area and so on. Which garbage bins to check if you’re really poor, how to avoid taxes if you’re really rich.

So, I guess it wouldn’t be, but people actually aren’t stupid or apathetic (about their own life) in general.

Hmm. Where are you? That could make sense if you’re in the third world.

In Canada it’s around and mainstream, although not ubiquitous.
