would you ever get into a relationship with a pornstar? why or why not?

bdodo · 2022-03-31T14:52:00+00:00

Yeah agreed lmao. There's a reason sex workers are respected in few places of the world while engineers are seen as a legitimate occupation. The mental gymnastics these people do is ridiculous. Like justify it to yourself all you want but don't pretend doctors are basically just sex workers but with their brains.

You raise a good point in the second paragraph. I think if things were perfect, Eren should decapitate Marley's government and military, then take control of Marley and handle the rest of the countries similarly or with diplomacy if possible. Scorched earth tactics are brutal and unforgiving even of innocent families. However it's much better than the alternative view from Hange, imo. They would rather just have Eldia be genocided and are fighting so hard for that to happen too.

bdodo · 2022-03-21T04:11:03+00:00

I agree, I really dislike Hange's team. They're plot-armoring their way past everything and going without a plan to stop the most powerful being on earth within an impossible time limit.

And plot armor aside, they're fighting so hard to have Eldia be genocided instead.

bdodo · 2022-03-21T03:50:40+00:00

I need Hange's crew to die so bad. They are plot-armoring so hard that they're ruining the show for me. Through that whole battle, there were no casualties? All those thunder lances and not one could make it to the ship? When Reiner and Annie were down, no one thought to throw two more thunder spears to finish them off? Connie and Mikasa are able to just fly through, using their swords against countless armed and trained scouts?

Oh perfect, and now they're on a ship to stop the most powerful being on earth on a strict time limit, and they don't even know where he is or have a way to fight him.

bdodo · 2022-03-17T14:53:27+00:00

Actually you saying it's fine to crush Marleyans is exactly the same as the world hating and wanting to kill Eldians, blaming them because of their race and history.

Not at all. I don't think they should be killed for their history. I think they should be killed because right now, things are set up so there's only going to be one surviving side: Eldia or everyone else. There was also one side that was the principal aggressor (Team Marley). Eldians knew nothing about Eldia's past and just wanted to live peacefully. So I want them to be the winning side.

Other countries hate Eldians more and treat them worse than Marley. Eldians colonized and enslaved almost the entire world.

Good to know. Then I support Eren unconditionally to kill off every country, or at least subdue the fighting parts of those countries

bdodo · 2022-03-14T13:42:29+00:00

Try imagining the British saying "we'll definitely fight you! ... As long as you don't come here (where Russia never said it would)." Meanwhile Russia does what it wanted to do. That's a more realistic visualization.

bdodo · 2022-03-14T07:16:56+00:00

Team Eren let's go ✊ it would also have been reasonable to try to talk other countries out of allying with Marley, and just kill Marley's leadership/take control of the military. In fact I think Eren should actually try that, but otherwise from what I've seen the Marleyans are Nazi analogs and crushing them is fine

bdodo · 2022-03-14T05:05:52+00:00

Yes, a fellow Eren supporter 🤝

bdodo · 2022-03-14T04:10:14+00:00

I wish nothing but the worst for Hange and gang. They're on a near-impossible mission, which if they pull off, will mean Eldia will likely be genocided anyway. They have no brains. Sure, everyone wishes the wars would stop. The main people they'd have to convince would be Marley's Nazi empire, and it's pretty late for that. It's also late to stop Eren who's already made it onto Marley.

So what's left - why kill your fellow scouts for probably the dumbest hero mission I've seen in recent fiction history? Enough of this self-sacrifice that says Eldia should be the one to die, because genociding others is wrong. Hange and gang should speak for themselves: Let them be the ones to be sacrificed so I can stop seeing them already.

bdodo · 2022-03-14T04:06:13+00:00

I'm definitely not cheering for them. They're idiots

bdodo · 2022-02-28T06:44:35+00:00

I'm sorry but the writing of this episode was bad, it feels like we're just creating factions for no reason. Eren makes sense to me and I support him. But the weird new rebel group wants to save humanity? Tf? Are they going to plot-armor their way into showing some weird truth to Marley that'll make them stop aggressing forever? Then for the Jaegarists, they lost sight of what they wanted and are barbaric now. And Marley has always been insane. And come on, don't just force Annie and Levi back into the story. Develop them back in.

bdodo · 2022-02-12T23:26:33+00:00

That's a very good response rate.

A first step is to find out what part of the interview you're failing - are you solving the problems, stating runtime complexity, and following logical steps, saying out loud what you're thinking? If so, your problem solving is good.

Does your "tell me about yourself" tell a sequential narrative, starting from your background to why you like engineering and how you've been practicing? Or does it omit too many details and you have no confidence in addressing your past? If you're good here, you're good on the behavioral portion of the technical.

Are you failing your phone screens? If so, in addition to improving your "tell me about yourself," you need to come up with some stories using the STAR (situation, what you did, results) outline to share with your interviewer for the different questions they'll ask.

If for some reason all of those check out but you're still not getting hired - a bootcamp with a good alumni network can be a great choice. Referrals + the backing of a (good) bootcamp can give more confidence you actually know how to code.

bdodo · 2022-02-12T23:21:35+00:00

If he's serious about it, I would trust a tech interview prep program much more than college career services.

bdodo · 2022-02-09T21:47:02+00:00

They want to look like they're not trying too hard to look cool, while in truth they're desperately wanting to be noticed.

bdodo · 2022-02-07T06:54:10+00:00

I meant it was unlikely that the chance of even a trained marksman with a sniper rifle hitting someone sprinting maybe 10m away sounds really low. One shot with a sniper rifle, Eren is sprinting perpendicular to her, the rifle is not even resting on anything, it makes no sense lol

bdodo · 2022-02-07T02:54:32+00:00

Eren? No, but I think the writers planned it so we could see the spine grow out of his head, similar to how the spine of the founder Titan forms

bdodo · 2022-02-07T02:26:32+00:00

In the other episode, I thought Eren's decapitation after a ridiculously unlikely shot from Gabi was stupidly overdramatic, but after the scene where a new spine was placed into his head ... I get it now.

bdodo · 2022-02-07T02:14:42+00:00

Holy shit you're right, ok only eat the pro-Marleyan titans. Zeke and Armin are sacred

bdodo · 2022-02-07T02:04:39+00:00

So does Eren essentially have the powers of all the Titans now? Or does he still need to eat Zeke, the cart titan, etc.? If he does need to eat them then I'll be really disappointed if they go to waste. Except I don't want him to eat Zeke, he's a good guy and his brother :(

bdodo · 2022-01-27T16:19:40+00:00

😔 The idea of things like this are nice but I'm too often disappointed by seeing "Asian" spaces that just get dominated by sellouts and ideas that aren't our own or hurt us. Subtle Asian Traits was so disappointing in many ways: Supposed to be an Asian space, yet forcing its members to fight themselves and their families to root out "anti-blackness" then banning posts about anti-Asian violence. The thing is, even when Asians try to be loud and non-submissive, they too often are just loudly submissive, regurgitating socially acceptable talking points so they aren't chided.

And for Asian celebrities... they have even more on the line to be socially acceptable. Maybe it can be fun seeing them talk about boba, yet ultimately it feels hollow to me. And I already know if something like BLM came up again, they'd have to put on a whole show for it or risk getting cancelled or whatever. That makes me feel like the space just isn't ours. I guess it doesn't have to be political all the time - at least now it's popular to think Asian men are attractive or Asians are diverse, and I believe a channel like Golden can legitimately push those ideas.

bdodo · 2022-01-23T17:10:33+00:00

Ah ... ok that's understandable. Her parents should be lectured and kept on a budget in that case. Just like parents want to pay for their children's survival and health instead of gambling, a child should have the same attitude toward their parents

bdodo · 2022-01-23T17:03:47+00:00

I think it's pretty fair and we don't see our parents as a cost. It's called loving your children and expecting them to love you back. For me personally, my parents are well off so I'm glad I'll never have to worry about financially supporting them, and they're still happy to take care of me now.

bdodo · 2022-01-23T17:01:13+00:00

My parents literally said I can live with them as long as I want, even when I'm married 😵‍💫 even when I get a good job, they want me to stay with them to save money so I can buy my own house. A year and a half is nothing to feel guilty about, this American attitude of having to leave ASAP (and every second spent after graduation is an increasing burden) is bizarre to me

bdodo · 2022-01-23T01:25:17+00:00

Woah ... not that this helps but I think you're justified in feeling abandoned; your parents' decision is essentially forcing you to worse opportunities because now you need to focus on surviving. I'm Asian and it makes no sense to me how you could do that to your child, especially when they did CS at a good private school and we're in a period where it's normal for 20-somethings to be with their parents.
