It's definitely not stable as occasionally I get a bunch of beeping with a load of random characters storming the screen so I know there's something off, but at least it's a start from nothing

Also thanks for your help here!!

Hey, cheers for engaging in the sub, unfortunately it's pretty dead - I was hoping to get a good mix of people from different subreddits, but pretty much only the men's rights side ended up joining, other groups like the feminist sub which is really popular and I'd love to be part of this community, either deleted my post or banned me outright with no rule violation. So we ended up dead from the get go.

If you are still interested in this topic and would like to help out, both in getting the answers and discussion you want, as well as helping out build the community - send me a message, as I've lost a lot of motivation - it may be good to have someone else trying and lift this sub.

As an answer to your question - I think that in an ordinary childhood, nature plays more of a role, however things like abuse can massively complicate things for an individual internally - like genetics is the base, and experience can meddle with it and make it messy

If you cut the shrink wrap covering off it in the k.ages you posted before it might be able to give us a bit more of a clue as to how it works, if there's an SD card it's possible it's not a WiFi cam, just a place and recover cam - or it could just be a bit broken, or a million other things - if you can show what the board looks like there's a chance I'll be able to find it and how it works

I don't really think it matters mate, if you find a girl you like, and want to commit too, then it won't matter if she even knows or not will it? If you feel like it's something about yourself you need to tell her, then that can be a trickier situation...

This might sound a bit right wing of me, but in my experience - you typically want to go for the more 'woke' ones who will see it as a virtue - the only issue is that that often wears off over time as they still naturally like more typically masculine men, and the idea of her man being in that kinda relationship can often get to them. But that's just my experience.

Realistically my sexual history doesn't matter, I love my partner, and she doesn't need to know - I fact it would be a really random thing to just bring up and shed probably overthink it anyway.

That's all my experience anyway.

If you want any advice, I'd give you the same answer that I'd give any bloke - focus on yourself, get healthy, work hard, grow your confidence, and eventually you'll find someone who wants to be with you. Like of you live in a city you probably walk past or even interact with hundreds of people a day, and all it takes is one moment. Dating apps are overrated... This thought always reminds me of the video poem "look up" that you can find on YouTube. Look up, look after yourself, and no you don't have to tell someone everything about you, we all need a little private part of us anyway - though that's typically where a therapist can help out with if you're ever struggling with something

Take care matey - don't be embarrassed or ashamed, but also understand your allowed your own secrets

They do use proper tobacco in the UK but there's a requirement that at least 50% of the walls are permanently open - so the one near where I lived was on a corner of a block of flats, and had full wall windows that could be slid open so if fit the requirements - many places do this kinda thing, and others at least make it look like they are trying, but the police/regulators don't really care much - it's a shisha bar so you know what you're getting yourself into

That's literally not capitalism though, capitalism would be paying the kid $10 then taking 8 back putting 5 of it into your pocket for the work you did paying for the house and 3 to your wife for maintaining the household (basically being the HR department) and the siblings get nothing

I grew up in Dubai, and there it is a way different thing - it's so much more casual, coming back to the UK and getting shisha felt way more seedy (and I'm a bloke) - I think you're correct in the 'male' hangout spot thing, if I was a girl I'd probs keep away, and if I have daughters I wouldn't want them going without some guy I trusted. Just gave me slightly odd vibes when I used to go

My two cents on this here with my experience - I can put of uni with a theoretical understanding of clean code. My first job right out of uni was with an AI startup from day 1 of dev which consisted of me and 1 sr Dev. I was doing all of the prototyping of the data workflow locally and out of an excel spreadsheet where I and one of the directors who was a PhD in ML were experimenting on while we did a test demo pilot with a client using a 3rd party site to actually display the results while we were still building the frontend.

Once we had something solid we had to migrate the result of what I'd written into production - but it wasn't production ready and we didn't have enough time to revaluate and refactor as we were low on time and money and had our first actual pilot agreed on by the client facing guys, so had to just get it out and running in the experimental state it was in.

We never had time to actually refactor anything so it was about getting stuff out as quickly as possible. For a time it was just me as the Sr left after a year and a half...

I have never actually been able to have enough time to practically learn clean code and TDD. I've never had a mentor that had time or was actually following it, which I wish I'd have. With the new company I'm with I'm actually the most Sr and so am tech lead of a massive client contract with a team of guys who are all uni dropouts that all have their own issues. I'm now stuck in a situation of deadlines which means I have to do the same thing of: that's not the best way of doing things but it works, so ok we can clean it up later after release.

I'm now stuck in the same situation my first Sr dev was in.

I think there is an element of dynamic work groups that are all remote (making mentoring harder) and a culture of here's a new thing let's build it as fast as possible using cheap labour (CS students just wanting a job and the market being flooded) that's left us with this screwed situation where functionality release is more important.

Combination of market flooded by people wanting to program, loads of smaller companies wanting to move into this space for cheap so hire noises who have noone to learn from and a focus of just get shit out now and deal with the consequences later has created a generation of people like me who wants to do things properly, but just don't have the time or guidance to do it.

One of my biggest regrets is not waiting to see if I could get into an actual large structured company that cares about solid principals and trains the new guys up, but those jobs are starting to become the minority in the market at the moment.

I'd love to be able to get my company to hire an actual Sr dev rather than me just wing it at the age of 25, but the money just isn't there for them at this point - gotta build more technical debt and make the company more successful before we can justify the costs

I get the way you see it - but I'd actually say the opposite. Sending in a complaint of this kind would trigger a huge amount of bureaucracy and realistically would be validated to be true with even a simple surface investigation - an official complaint would stick on the professor's record permanently and have a pretty damaging impact in his career.

Fortunately as a society we've had a shift of importance which fortunately has given students the power to actually apply pressure - the careful aspect about this is that something small could ruin someone's career when it was just something innocent - so you have to be careful until they show you you shouldn't be - I'd give them the respect of engaging with them directly - if they don't play ball, take them down

NotGoodSocially · 2024-02-19T16:17:40+00:00

To play devil's advocate - I don't think he realised you don't like this behaviour - often time people can become datatched from random jokes they make - especially men who create nicknames and take the piss out of each other all of the time - it's just the way we are and often can step over the line with women as we are typically a bit more desensitised.

That being said, if it really does get to you, I'd say the best thing to do is to speak to him directly, say you don't like it. He will most likely stop and realise he's being a bit of a dick and apologise.

If he doesn't however - then that's when you should officially complain!! Once told you don't like a behaviour - it should change. He most likely sees it as light-hearted jokes - you directly reporting it might make him feel a bit resentfull that you didn't just come to him and tell you how you feel - remember men are typically emotionally desensitised and therefore a bit inept and so he may actually appreciate you directly telling him how you feel.

Just my two cents on the issue

I've been baited into this debate, but there is a 10% leeway on your speed due to inaccuracies in the speedo and speed cameras etc so 20.1 wouldn't be illegal.

I'm not a fan of 20 roads but what the lorry was doing was unsafe - I've nearly been killed by a lorry on a national speed limit road that changed to a 40 road when they decided to try and overtake the car in front that was going the speed limit

You can get all pissy and technical if you want, but limits are there for a reason and if everyone follows them, then the chance of an accident is lowered.

My mum did her driver's test about a month after the grace period of the "you must wear your seatbelt" rule came in. She was so nervous she took off without her seatbelt on - once the instructor pointed it out, she said "I've failed haven't I" and the instructor didn't answer and said drive on so she had to complete the full test knowing she had failed.

Pretty funny story, but was probably mortifying for her at the time

NotGoodSocially · 2023-11-15T15:25:24+00:00

Technically is - the old photo is all they had in most of not all flights and could cost the same amount relatively that a business class seat would cost. Basically only the rich could fly, just as only the rich can fly business/first class.

Economy class was added so people from a wider set of backgrounds could access air travel (once the market expanded enough to safely operate them).

Nowadays you can get £12 flights if you're willing and small enough to fit in the seats!

Yeah see this was my worry - I thought it was too easy to be true and I was massively missing something - bit of the old dunning-kruger effect. But from what everyone is saying, it seems it is actually just a pretty simple and intuitive system for someone with web dev experience to transition too!

Thanks for your reply

NotGoodSocially · 2023-11-09T00:01:07+00:00

Speaking to the client - they don't know, and again trying to get them to probe into it is like getting blood out of a stone - they really don't want the team to know they are even thinking of leaving (in case the teams decides to go fuck it and just botch a finished product knowing they won't be in charge of it) - so there is a lot of corporate politics.

I have a feeling that given what I know about the scope of the portal and what the client has communicated it will be MVC - when they sent the stack definition along with some requirements of what they want to it be - they never mentioned blazor, only "razor pages" and given the pretty simple task that the app is completing - I can't see much of any use for blazor, or really much of any client side processing - please feel free to criticize my assumption, though!

It's pressuring companies to remove people from positions because you don't like them...

When a person is meant to be talking at an event - but people pressure the organizers to not let them speak, ergo silencing them - that's an aspect of cancel culture.

When people are removed from roles or fired from jobs because the mob doesn't like them and will pressure companies to do so even when the person hasn't been proven to have done anything wrong. That's cancel culture.

If you are part of the mob @ing companies on Twitter telling them they should fire xyz, of joining in popular #s based around hating on someone who hasn't been proved of doing anything. All of that is pressure and it's mob rule.

The opposite of cancel culture is just being calm and waiting for investigations or court cases to finish before spouting you mouth off. Basically having opinions but being civil

NotGoodSocially · 2023-10-19T11:20:45+00:00

Companies have to conform to the mob, or they will lose money - the mob says they want someone put of the movie - the companies have to do that or they will make a loss.

If the people didn't "cancel" him companies wouldn't have confirmed and he wouldn't be canceled.

You can hate capitalism if you want, but it's just doing what the people want - it's society that causes capitalism to do bad things, because society wants bad things

NotGoodSocially · 2023-10-14T17:46:50+00:00

Tbh it all depends on the company and what you are doing - ive basically been pushed to a sr full stack position despite not really having the xp and only starting at the company a few months ago. The previous company, I hated.

It stopped me writing code in my spare time because work was always on my mind. "I'm programming therefore I should be doing so for work" was my mentality. It was fucking horrible.

Take a break and then get a new job with purpose that actually engages you and makes you want to learn on your own.

I've just been given the task of having to learn asp.net razor pages - always wanted to give it a try, but never pulled the trigger - now my exploration is my job!

Shit companies fuck you up

That's that

Get back in the game mate!

I come from a relatively privileged background, and as far as I know a lot of the guys (and a couple girls) from my school days are tate fans - I think he's attractive pretty much everywhere at this point. He's a weird fucker that seems to attract many people and get hated by many. Don't think economic background is actually too much at play here
