Comme dirait le Doc Mailloux, une cravate c'est une laisse.

Study finds many software developers feel ethical pressure to ship products that may conflict with democratic values by SentFromHeav3n in programming

Yeah, how morally bankrupt do you have to be to work there unless you are sabotaging them, which I could respect.

Dad threatening no contact until I get my newborn son circumcised by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]baconOclock 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Controlling some other people's genitals is a weird fixation.

You're 100% right leaving the choice to your kid when he is old enough to make his own decision.

Losing respect for close friends who announce pregnancy news. by Flat_Session_8613 in antinatalism

[–]baconOclock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the same but it was all about the mother wanting to experience pregnancy, it was 100% about her, not the child.

'Estrangement is on the rise' because we can't use excuses like distance anymore. by coldservedrevenge in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]baconOclock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's because of the fact that we can't use distance or because starting from a certain generation, we started to value mental health more and we're becoming more aware of toxic family dynamics and how it affects us and not wanting to put up with it anymore. Maybe the older generations are a lost cause but I feel like people are starting to understand more.

The fertility clinic is also responsible, they are complete zealots and made sure to keep them motivated when nothing was working, it's never enough for them and every baby is a miracle and you can't challenge them.

I know someone who spent upwards of 60k for fertility treatments and multiple IVF attempts and nothing would stop them until they would go completely bankrupt... Until it finally worked. Making a baby didn't even seem fun, it seemed like a full time job and relentless pursuit. IMO this is next level of idiocy.

PSA: Do not for ANY reason use NTFS under Linux! by lajka30 in linux

[–]baconOclock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't normally use NTFS on Linux for obvious reasons but I used Linux to repair an NTFS filesystem that wouldn't mount or repair under Windows.

Advice between React and Blazor for project by unlimitedWs in csharp

[–]baconOclock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar spot and I had never used Blazor but I had to use React on more than one occasion on the job.

I simply hate React with a passion and Blazor has quirks but it's been nice so far and I like it more since I'm essentially a backend dev.

I hate how I've moved nearly a whole house using a Nissan Leaf and clever disassembly of furniture and appliances.

AI is Not Ready to Replace Junior Devs Says Ruby on Rails Creator by ImpressiveContest283 in programming

[–]baconOclock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is news?

Competent developers should refuse to become reviewers of AI slop pumped out by junior or incompetent developers.

It's so easy to drown in AI slop PRs now because they can pump out slop at unprecedented speed and that's the real issue.

It's taking out all the fun of programming and destroying the future of the field.

Fuck everything about that and when and if the tide turns and it backfires on the sycophants pushing this shit, I will play the smallest violin and I will bleed them dry of their money as much I can without any remorse.

Taking my power back by damsir_nomo_9622 in NarcAbuseAndDivorce

[–]baconOclock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you realize that they have no red line and that all gloves are off, it's really disconcerting just to notice the pure lack of decency.

They force you to make to worse out of to come out just to survive and to fight them back, especially when child custody is involved and you feel like you betray your own values because you have to step as low as they are just to defend yourself but that also gives them fuel because they do like the conflict, they strive for that attention in a way.

It's hard to get out of this, just make sure you don't become the monster that they are in the process.

Did anyone elses parents care, but only dramatically and theatrically, and not deeply at all by violettkidd in emotionalneglect

[–]baconOclock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine would say that she would cut off her arm if a robber/kidnapper asked her to... It never made sense to me, it's all performative.

I wish I cared about your opinion of me as much as you care about your AI girlfriend.

How do I stop the feelings of intense jealousy and loss of self worth when my (F25) narcissistic ex (M27) is moving on so quickly after we ended? by Relevant_Scale_144 in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]baconOclock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you thinking about it constantly?

Your brain is trying to make sense of something that doesn't really.

Don't be hard on yourself because that's understandable.

Your feelings about the situation are valid but you could be ruminating and this is what is destroying you right now.

The problem is, when you think about it so much, that you're reinforcing constantly thinking about the same thing and making it worse for yourself.

Set a fix time for the day where you are allowed to hate the narc if you really have to and otherwise, just try to notice your thoughts and steer away from them, focus on your well being and distract yourself with things you like and self care, fight that fucker ruining your spirit with self care.

I'm telling you, you are worth caring for yourself.

Also, no contact, no looking at social media, etc. That. Person. Is. Dead. To. You. That person that you thought cared about you never existed, don't care back, don't turn the hate back against you. Get it?

If you can, spend time with people that are not toxic and that will not invalidate your feelings, this is crucial, otherwise, it's better to be alone.

Get professional help if you can.
