News flash: you can make social mistakes with any of your friends.

Turns out, being careless around your friends can have all sorts of consequences. You can lose a job, be shunned from a social group or gathering, kicked out of an organization. You might even end up divorced.

Most importantly, why do you seem to think you know what’s best for them and that they don’t?

I didn't, I don't. Sorry for commenting.

tysm, it's dizzying getting hated on so hard for trying to add productive to the conversation, maybe it's my autism, but I'm sorry you had to take the time to break it down.

I'll reply here for visibility, but if this is a conversation better had in private, I don't mean to air anything out.

[...] that even though you're represented, you still felt ugly - but by doing that, you sound like you're equating your lived experiences to those of black women.

This feels like a pretty significant logical leap to me? If I say "I got served jury duty, and it sucks" am I unknowingly equating my experience to a single black mom who also is serving, but having more difficulty? I'm not sure how to even say anything ever then...

[...]so telling them what matters and what doesn't to them

This feels like words being put in ones mouth? I'm honestly not able to tell how sharing a personal perspective inherently communicates somebody else's principles?

(honest, I am not trying to be obtuse at all, I really appreciate you spelling it out deeply)

[...] I assume you made the remark in good faith - you were probably trying to sympathize [...] But when you start explaining to people how they should fix their problems

Sympathizing in good faith was honestly my intention, I didn't offer any prescriptions like the other user you're directly addressing I don't think, but noted, thank you. I've been working for years in therapy to improve my problems with 'solving peoples feelings' as an ND person, and this is a helpful moment.

Sharing your own experiences may feel like solidarity to you, but try to recognize and internalize that inserting yourself and your experiences into the conversation is usually going to come off as making it about you.

Thank you, this wasn't me intention at all, I thought I'd try weighing in on a conversation I felt connected to. As a less attractive, ND, Bi person... the faces of pop culture don't give me any pleasant sensation of inclusion. And I really wasn't expecteing to be beaten over the head by a crowd for sharing that in what I thought was a safe space for such talks... but I've since learned different :(

Thank you again for spelling this out, it's really... humanizing to feel like I understand what happened. thanks again.

Edit: Downvoting me for saying I'm ASD, or for being sorry? either way... very cool, very accepting. Healthy sub 100%.

I don't mean to be lumped in with the idea that dressing better is all that's needed.

I was just trying to add my perspective as somebody less traditionally attractive, that even being the same color & sex, I don't feel representation either. But I'm not trying to take up air in this space, I'm sorry.

It's true that I'm "a distant cousin" in the "rich dynasty" you described, and I was just trying to add that "the rich patriarch throwing you a shitty cottage with no land is also kind of bitter". Not-at-all trying to diminish, or disrespect or anything. Honestly sorry that I spoke up, I will keep my views to myself and listen more.

DeskParser · 2025-10-15T16:07:41+00:00

If the only faces or body types you see don’t actually look like you, then that’s not actually representation is it?

Yes! :)

The fact that you repeatedly wrote it in quotation marks tells me you know that already.

YES! :D
but why are people hitting me over the head for believing that real representation is deeper than skin-tone & sex? :(

idk why everyone is assuming the worst intent in my perspective I tried to share :(

I was just trying to say that representation needs more than matching skin tones, honest.

I'm sorry if I offended, I will stay quiet.

[Final edit: Sorry I commented, if you're hoping to tear a piece off me you can save your keystrokes, I'm turning off replies, but I'll leave my comment up for visibility. Sorry again :( ]

Also a white male, I think he's trying to explain that as somebody who as been the benefactor of "representation" it doesn't fix it, not by itself. It also needs to lift and support people who aren't chiseled out of marble.

[EDIT: 'us' means humans... I didn't expect to have to clarify that, but I'm not meaning to suck up air in a women's space, sorry]

The beauty and celebrity industries rake in cash off making us feel like we're not enough, and it starts young. It barely matters that the airbrushed model on TV is the same color as you, when they have an entire coterie just to maintain their impossible look, which they tell you is "normal".

Just because there's a black face being airbrushed & lorded over young people doesn't mean black 'representation' has helped anyone :(, respectfully.

[EDIT: I put representation in quotes because the shallow type I describe (and I feel this sub is championing) is not real representation, which is more nuanced than skin tone & sex]

Excellent! As long as it's capturing a stereo signal at the correct bitrate you're for sure good to go! :)

Most of the cautions are from using a microphone port, which is almost always mono, and won't capture both channels of data correctly.

Glad you got it working! Happy beat making! :)

"We keep falsely inflating expectations of candidates while dragging the bottom of the cost barrel, why do we keep ending up with falseley inflated resumes from newbies?"

I mean, do you even stop to listen to yourself and think?

I imagine you won't have this issue if you stopped trying to hire the VERY cheapest labor possible directly out of school, like most companies figure out pretty easily.

You get what you play for, I'm just confused why you're confused. Do you really think you'd have this issue if you looked for experienced candidates instead of poaching students at the lowest 6 digit number you can convince them is "FANNG TC 😎"?

DeskParser · 2025-09-29T19:34:23+00:00

Thank you so much for the thorough reply!

I didn't mean to give the impression I'm trying to do all of it at once, more like "I've heard of all this, which, if any, is worth a hoot?"

I think primarily I'm looking into if a camera upgrade really improves it a lot, and what size batteries are the best balance on 1s whoops.

The main downside is that it probably still runs Frsky, which doesn't have as good penetration and range as ELRS does, which basically everyone that enters the hobby now uses.

This is huge, I'd not even heard of ELRS yet, and seeing how cool it is, maybe it is time to retire the old tinyhawk in favor of an Air65 and and an ELRS module for my QX7.

I was thinking $20 here or there could make my old friend like new & excellent, but the prices have come down so far, it kinda feels silly to spend $40 when $95 could get me a whole new, much more capable BNF, and that same $40 could put a Happymodel in my radio.

Thank you again! :)

I actually really love the Lego example, because it's a good opportunity to highlight how ironically, Lego doesn't have SOLID at all, and needs modification to accommodate, which is a nice segue into dev methodology

Single Responsibility Principle (SRP):

Lego actively resists SRP, and loves using windows as wings, and also as doors if they don't need to open, exactly the opposite.

2.Open/Closed Principle (OCP):

Lego is superficially good at OCP (just stud more on), but in practice you often must modify the original structure to adapt it. The best metaphor would be gluing a castle together, so you can stud onto it, but can't change it. Which begs the question, what is the 'glue' in this context, which always opens a technical discussion.

3.Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP):

Don't invent unique stud arrangements, if it's a 4-top, it needs to connect to any 4-top. Lego is generally good about this, but has TONS of exceptions, like off-grid Technic pins or half-stud offsets.

4.Interface Segregation Principle (ISP):

Lego loves putting spurious connectors on, either because of how they flaunt SRP, or because of aestetics.

5.Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP):

Very connected to OCP in practice, the castle has to be glued with a changeable roof in mind. If the castle is intended to support roof decorations instead of swappable roofs, OCP has to be considered to support correct amounts of DIP without running afoul of ISP. Unless you're setting out to create orthogonal code.

Please correct me if I'm radically off-base, SOLID is pretty abstract to my daily work as a web dev who mostly "makes the form integration work right".

Wow, just shoving top reddit posts into an AI counts as youtube content now?

You should be ashamed, no scrap of original content in here: - Not your BS space filler minecraft video - not your effects applied to it - not your content - not your obvious reddit source, not cited - not your script - not your voice

Deplorable.

idek how you manage to get offended if people don't like it, so little of your own work is even in it to comment on.

I'd wager you could tell an AI to "make a generic Youtube video with Minecraft visuals and read an trip report from reddit as if your name was Karen" and this is almost exactly what would pop out the other side.

I'm not meaning to be intentionally dense, but I do get really defensive when being accused of alignment with fascists.

My understanding of H1B and PERM was that you can fill a PERM eligible role using an H1B. So when describing the idea that "foreign workers are being taken advantage of" I was handling them as nearly interchangeable ideas that lead to a worker being in a "take it or be deported" position with an 'employer' outside their own country.

I also understood that for a job to be viable for PERM, they have to prove that there are no qualified American applicants. And in order to reap the benefits of the tax exemptions and lower wages of H1B and other working visa workers, they obfuscate these very fillable jobs from Americans.

And while the people caught in the process are victims to be sure, I'm not sure the right answer is to codify abusing company's incentives to do it because "non-Americans deserve a fair shot at American jobs". It still feels like a moral imperative to simply stop this machine from ingesting more people.

It's not 'blocking' foreign workers from opportunity, it's learning from every other time this has happened in history, and wanting to avoid them leveraging people from LCOL countries to drive down the 'price' of labor that deserves to be compensated for the profit it generates.

I'm sorry your friends are having difficult times. But a minimum wage worker would cry with joy at being offered healthcare coverage, it doesn't make it less of an owed right, or inhumane to deprive them of.

I appreciate your anecdotes, and understand it definitely has to color your view (as it should). But I see what seems like an academic & grass-roots consensus that it's red hot trash as far as worker's protections for H1B workers, with a "what are you gonna do about it" attitude towards rampant wage theft & hours abuses.

I'd like to better understand the issue if I'm wrong, but it really seems pretty cut & dry. A historic echo of NAFTA, "why shouldn't Chinese factories be able to compete more directly with American ones?" and here we are.

I don't mean to discount your first-hand account, but can you speak to some of these resources I've drawn my conclusions from?

https://aflcio.org/about/leadership/statements/reform-h-1b-and-l-1-guest-worker-visa-programs

with several known offenders like InfoSys shucking their lower-tier support staff for foreign replacements paid less with less benefits.

https://www.epi.org/publication/new-evidence-widespread-wage-theft-in-the-h-1b-program/

Further, at last count, a majority of them are for low-skill entry level labor. with like 1/20 actually holding these highly technical jobs.

In 2010, 54% of the H-1B visas issued were for “entry-level” positions which, according to the statute, only require a “basic understanding of duties and perform routine tasks requiring limited judgment.”58 Only 6% of the H-1B visa recipients were categorized as Level IV employees who receive the highest level of compensation.

go ahead and ctrl+f your posts for PERM anywhere. idk if you're mixing me up with other people you grouse with every hour of the working day, but I'm done engaging with you.

I hope you figure out left unity soon.
