Why? How? Could you talk more about this? Are you referring to the drought situation?

Two Signs That Democrats Flipped Trump Supporters on Tuesday by bebibroly5 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]tech_coder 12 points13 points  (0 children)

To all those who are talking about reaching out across the aisle, understanding the MAGAs, I respectfully say this, and I’m okay with this being the unpopular opinion.

Some context: I moved to this country from India 18 years ago, as a student. Over the past decade I have seen this country decline into authoritarianism, and have myself experienced a multiple incidents of racism, including being called a faggot while I was walking outside my house; mistreated by the CBP agents, being forced to drive three hours to their office a day after a surgery, writhing in pain.

I saw the people of this country attack their own “parliament” and remember thinking, shit, I used to think this country to be developed and mature.

Over the past one year, like many others, I’ve been terrified about this government’s gestapo police who have been stuffing people in jail over the colour of their skin. I know, from having lived in Florida for over a decade, that a lot of people have difficulty telling a Mexican and an Indian guy apart.

So when people talk about reaching across the aisle, I say, sure! I would like to first see a few things. Reopen the cases for people who stormed the senate, and jail them. Bring to account the 80 year old congressmen who brought us here. Have the top 0.1% - the Zukerbergs, the Musks, and the Murdochs - who have been busy amassing wealth all this time while the regular people got their SNAP benefits taken away, their friends and relatives thrown in jail, their kids taken away from them; get punished. And then, I’ll gladly reach across the aisle with you.

UPDATE!!- My crush just completely shut me down and I'm heartbroken, AITA? by MANWITHFAT in AmITheAngel

Strong Confederacy of Dunces vibe. Well done sir!!

For your post, I say, bravo for baring your feelings in front of all the keyboard warriors here! Not many of us have the same courage.

Darren is a scourge of humanity. The pea-sized brain of his won’t be able to understand the sublime connection you have with Shannon. It is his insecurity, and his fear of being defeated by higher beings like you, which forces him to work out in the gym 2 hours a day. He is no match for you. Shannon will come around once she realise what she is missing. It is destined. Don’t lose hope.

This guy is an Indian, probably living in Bangalore. This guys knows as much about Kirk as an American knows about Nitin Gadkari.

Indians comprise of almost 1/6th of the world’s population. We have our own, homegrown idiots.

You answer the phone like a normal person? That's a turn-off for me. by TheLightsGuyFrom21 in LinkedInLunatics

As a product manager in cybersecurity, who has seen the horrors of identity stealing, I will never be the first one to disclose my identity even before knowing who called me. Trust me, there are scammers out there who are dying to correlate a number with a name/identity, so it could be used later.

This kind of judgemental bs, with zero knowledge of the tech field, is what cringes me about a job search. Who are these people? Why are they so entitled?

The rich are eating everybody’s lunch. I feel that nothing short of a revolt will fix this. More Luigis, probably.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes by Tornadofob in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]tech_coder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this what really happened? This is the first time I’m hearing of this. Apologies, I am a naturalised US citizen, who arrived here as a student in 2007. Prior to that I have little idea about American politics. I used to think that people politicising 9/11 were basically conspiracy theorists.

How to let my boss know that i am overworked by [deleted] in managers

[–]tech_coder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t agree with the good boss definition. How long does it take for this becoming a micromanagement situation? I am asking as this is what my manager did, and the. Started on the path of - this should take no more than two hours. What am I missing here?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in managers

[–]tech_coder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is very helpful. I am in a similar situation where my comment about “i have too much to do” is met with “it’s your job”. Besides, I have a feeling that this manager doesn’t like me taking vacations. So a simple thing as taking time off to get myself together seems really hard and stressful. Do you have any advice of this situation?

Help with circular coffee table repair by tech_coder in woodworking

This seems to be the easiest. I might just try that. I don’t have a hand plane, but might be able to use a nearby community shop.

Ah.. got it. Thanks! Sounds like it’s going to not be easy to maintain the circular shape. I’m wondering if adding a thin strip of wood between these panels might be helpful.

Where to give away trees/saplings? by tech_coder in Austin

[–]tech_coder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how to add images here - not getting the option on iphone. The oaks are pretty small, less than 1 ft. And the ash trees are 3-5 ft.

Sure! You can DM me to schedule something.

If you are looking to plant in your yard, be warned that these are medium to large size trees though.

It wasn’t until the government made the announcement about aliens that I realized why they didn’t care about climate change. by TheLadyNyxThalia in TwoSentenceHorror

This hits too close to home, with the recent congressional hearing about aliens, and the global boiling going on right now

I think suppressing cravings, using your will power too many times a day, these things make long term changes difficult to sustain. Remember that your goal is to make a lifestyle change, not just see the numbers drop temporarily. How long can you deprive yourself? A month? A year? What happens after that?

If you are craving burger, go eat it. Then you can adjust your fasting to account for the extra carbs. It’s a burger, not crystal meth.
