You’re thinking small fries…

Rob Elon Musk.

I don’t know why someone would get mad at you but I personally dislike multiple posts on the same topic because it dilutes and confuses discussion.

Mistakes certainly happen though.

Fifteen years tops. Fifteen years is just under half of the average number of years you’ll be in the workforce and if you put your heart and soul into something amazing I feel like it enabling you to skate through at most half of your life is reasonable.

Provide a high enough standard of living that extremism costs an individual too much to engage in. This may sound a bit dystopian but a fat and happy populace is much easier to govern than a starving and desperate one.

Also, education - not like nationalistic bullshit education but a general education that leads people to nuture their empathy and social awareness. When people see desperate situations and no effort to address them they’re more likely to turn to extremism then if they’re aware of an effort (even if it’s ineffective) because if there’s an effort ongoing the politically active will be more likely to join the effort rather than fighting the establishment.

Lastly, a non-shitty election system that makes everyone (not just swing state voters) feel like their voice is being heard. If you don’t think you’ll be able to effect change within the system you’re more likely to turn to extremism.

And sponsorblock!

On windows it’s grepWin - it is an excellent utility implementation.

Also, segregating by gender poorly by forcing a binary choice is shitty and exclusionary in this modern world.

Don’t forget about .bat

Yea, Julia is the name of the squirrel that routinely exploits my bird feeder.

That reminds me… Oh, Caml.

PHP is also named after an animal.

It’s almost as bad as Twitter creating the verb “tweet”… with the obvious past tense…

It provides access to medication, therapy, self comprehension, and, depending on your area, disability support.

Username… doesn’t check out.

Talk to a professional and see if you can get a formal diagnosis… it’s worth it.

Air is an excellent band that seems to fit your bill and if you don’t mind a darker dream there’s always the OG of shoegaze Portishead.

I have strong music association with memories so most of my feelie invoking music is pretty fucking random (like associating wanderlust with Beck’s Guero).

As a man I’ve interviewed in a button down shirt, a skirt and open toe sandals and gotten a job offer. Only assholes and IBM require a suit and tie these days.

Acid - I’m vulnerable to acid… I checked that one while making Hominy one time.

Everyone needs to go through that shit at least once… if you’re lucky you can lean on your network of former co-workers to provide references that let you just be open “I suck at interviewing” from that point onward. I hope you eventually achieve this blissful state because I too cannot maintain eye contact for more than half a second.

Reminds me of my school days… thankfully I’m now a working professional that’s transparent about what I suck at so, while I still need to do those things occasionally, I need to do them far less often.
