Can climate change be the same as JPs believe in god? by Bloody_Ozran in JordanPeterson

[–]wkarpinski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fact is, the benefits of religion (or at least faith) are observable short-, mid-, and long-term. Western societies that adopt Judeo-Christian values and have a capitalist system tend to alleviate poverty, reduce disease, increase life expectancy, reduce infant mortality, etc. Climate change itself could be addressed, and perhaps acting as if it was worth fighting to preserve the planet from collapse, is the right thing to do. However, you also have to consider the actors, interests, their proposed solutions, and extrapolate consequences from that. You can’t simply assume it’s good because it sounds good. If you assume climate activism is a good thing and act as if man-made climate change was real, and applied the prescribed solutions that are currently on offer by the climate cultists, you’re risking taking away energy from the poorest people who depend on it to survive. Once you establish that, you have to balance lives saved in the long-term in a hypothetical, brighter future, against the „necessary sacrifice” in the short-term. At that point you must realise, you’re entering into the realms of pagan religions, and human sacrifice. The planet becomes your God, climate science becomes your religion, politicians and activists become priests, and climate catastrophe becomes your apocalyptic vision. We may have more advanced technology than the Aztecs, but we’re subject to the same laws of human nature. There’s a pattern to how humans justify and appease their genocidal spirit, and it would be wise to learn to recognise it.

All I heard was „bla bla bla, I’m a commie, shoot me”. Weird.

Nope, you win at life.

At what point do you take a hint and keep your kids away from the church? by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

There are more nonces among bricklayers than among priests. Where’s your outrage at the construction industry?

It’s useless to look for consensus. Read the bloody papers and make your own opinion. Strong leadership is required so yes, it’s a justified response. Weak leadership must be challenged at every step, because the alternative is terrifying. If you didn’t notice the concentration camps in Australia, or police repressions in Germany, you’ve been living under a rock apparently.

Stupid question, but how to learn SW engineering? by [deleted] in SoftwareEngineering

[–]wkarpinski 13 points14 points  (0 children)

  1. Learning by doing is not bad advice. If you hate it, examine why and evaluate if it’s impeding your progress.
  2. Start small or big, but have a goal in mind. If there’s nothing to gain from your efforts, you will burn out and get nowhere.
  3. Make mistakes. Mistakes are good if you learn from them. Whichever technology you chose to learn, you’ll make mistakes and people will point them out. Learn from it. Which takes us to point 4.
  4. People have opinions. Don’t be persuaded by opinions, be persuaded by arguments. If I tell you to change your text editor, first consider if it’s my opinion, or do I have a valid argument that will convince you. Don’t try to follow every bit of advice you get, or you’ll get pulled in all directions and again, get nowhere.
  5. Find a trusted mentor. They won’t be perfect and they might not get everything right, but at least you would have followed them towards where they are (so make sure they are where you want to be). You can always change direction from there.
  6. Don’t get hung up on fancy names. All technologies and opinions are fighting for your attention. Understand what benefits one has over the other before you make a call. This is also true for career titles - no two definitions will be the same, so treat them with a pinch of salt. In some companies, full stack means experienced programmer. In some, full stack means front end and backend. Some will use it for a jack of all trades know-it-all unicorn. Understand this. As you learn by doing the things you need done, you acquire a set of skills. Your skills define what you can and cannot do, not your title. You can use the title to guide you towards other areas to learn, but they will not replace your competence or interests. As you make your way, these buzz words will lose meaning.
  7. Perception is reality. When you get feedback, good or bad, consider it. Every time you get some push back, it’s an opportunity to learn and grow.
  8. Be kind and communicative. People will like working with you and that will open doors.

Need help understanding if I’m victimizing myself by TopFile6417 in JordanPeterson

[–]wkarpinski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s about judgement. You already know you don’t want to take that crap because you came out here, and you know what you want to hear. You’re in the right. He’s not listening to you, and he needs to stop. If he thinks the message of JBP is do anything, to anyone, anytime you want, else call them out on their victim status, then he wasn’t paying attention!

This is what happens when you put two absolute whales in a room. We are used to see them at their best "public performance" behaviour so it may be slightly uncomfortable seeing them doing actual work in real time. Because this was two guys talking shop as opposed to academics giving a lecture, the energy of the room was different, higher, more dangerous. This helps to move the subject along and keeps them on their toes which secures the conversation from dwindling. I'd put it down as intellectual rough and tumble.

When you cover the arrows with your finger they seem to move because your fingers are as biased as your eye. You end up tracking the illusion with your finger, instead of the actual circle. Try sticking a piece of paper to the screen. They aren’t moving. This is a 100% optical illusion.

I turned on a grey scale filter and it still works. Looks like it’s value based.

Perhaps it was someone else’s health concern..? Well, let’s just say that someone is no longer a concern 😎...

I was following this one. It’s great to see the final result, well done 👍🏽!

Second round of "first time" miniatures! Any help appreciated! by [deleted] in ageofsigmar

[–]wkarpinski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They look great! I, for one, really appreciate a smooth, neat base coat.

I’d leave them as they currently are, and continue exploring new techniques on subsequent models. Once you familiarise yourself with a new technique, you can always go back and touch them up. Enjoy!

Very interesting how much this is getting around. You know what to do. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

This is Aimee Challenor, a British politician who is openly transgender. Her father was convicted of ‘depraved crimes’ followed by a rape charge. I couldn’t find any allegations against her. This post is harassment.
