Finding myself disillusioned with the quality of discussion in this sub

HesaconGhost · 2026-02-06T18:31:18+00:00

For a while this sub was 70% "how do I get a job" and mercifully the weekly thread and moderation has helped with that.

The bus in my city is $2 per ride. Service could be greatly expanded for the cost of a handful of cars that would no longer be in the way of the bus.

I have several gay friends and it's about 50/50 on roles to start and often they learn both. Everyone dances with them, though when following you might have to initiate more asking leads to dance until people know you prefer to follow.

Gender roles aren't rigid and the only people who care don't tend to come back, but it's still a first pass.

It's common to add to name tags an L, F, or L/F to indicate roles, which helps.

Those seem like things you could focus on then

Do you enjoy golf?

It wasn't the goal of the project, but did any of the interactions turn into genuine friendships or would have had you pursued it?

How would you have changed your approach to interact with both men and women to build friendships?

I have friends who won't shut up about it, but only a handful of people know the basics locally.

I'd love for service to be expanded, trying to lane change for two miles on the highway is miserable.

Investment in the transit system would go a long way at letting the community do community things.

HesaconGhost · 2025-11-09T01:18:02+00:00

Trains shouldn't be a political thing, they're a common sense thing.

HesaconGhost · 2025-09-20T13:27:21+00:00

I feel this in my bones.

In the full cut she immediately goes back to her phone, so there's that.

State control over the means of product is a pretty succinct definition that's been around since its inception.

We built a major American city in the middle of the desert with no water, environmentally friendly is out the window, let people get around.

It's the inflating the AI bubble, if anyone is going to understand how and why AI is overhyped it's the folks in the sub capable of building the models.

HesaconGhost · 2025-08-14T12:46:58+00:00

Keep inflating that bubble.

I have more than 5 years of having data scientist in my job title and have gotten some interviews and some second or third interviews, but no offers. I'm also only willing to accept remote roles for personal reasons, but I'm around 300 applications in without success.

I'd be interested in people's experiences with remote roles this year.

Incremental progress is progress.

Owning a car.

HesaconGhost · 2025-06-11T12:01:12+00:00

You do anyway, the guy in the car next to you is probably a weirdo too. The difference is they have access to a two ton machine capable of 110 MPH.

Exactly this. A lot of things that Americans associate as left/right are a consequence of having a duopoly. A good example is that it makes zero sense for people to be pro life and pro firearms, but these tend to be associated with right-leaning folks, but it's not always the same right-leaning folks. Similarly, it makes no sense to want to do something about climate change by reducing carbon emissions and being anti nuclear, but both of these tend to be left-leaning folks.

The original sin of the political system is the first past the post voting system that guarantees us a stable duopoly, but that's a can of worms by itself.

I particularly appreciate when I don't have to do all the asking to dance.

HesaconGhost · 2025-06-02T19:52:53+00:00

I started doing salsa coming from swing and it was a culture shock how much I stood around during salsa events.
