Women (who aren't going to see this because I have no followers lol), but.... if you're about to get in a relationship with a man who thinks this way...

My wife and I coach marriages. It's common for men to be unaware of how they are contributing to their wives unhappiness. They tend to believe that the problem with their marriage is (and, heh, you'll never believe this!)... their wife!

If your potential husband subscribes to this philosophy, do yourself a favor and nope the fuck out.

@david_chisnall the greater takeaway here for me was “oh yeah this isn’t obvious to everyone and we’re totally going to see these attacks in the wild”. Great post.
@GeekAndDad that’s super cool that the liar is greater than zero though!

@davedelong what's the answer? How do authors get paid for their work?

Paywalls: no
Ads: no
Donations: lol
Patreon: ?

IDK. I think we need a was to incentivize web content and reward creators. I kind of like what Medium is trying to do.

I think maybe the streaming service approach is the answer? I'd totally pay $20/mo and have my subscription fee go towards creators for content that I consume.

The fact that it’s so difficult to get a working repl in a project is also a hang up of mine. I tried to get ts-node to work with my project that has WASM components but it just choked and died any time I imported something that used wasm. I gave up.
@nixCraft I… love this

Look, when you're voting for a President you're not actually voting for just one guy. You're actually voting for every single member of their staff from the Vice President on down, the people who have the lunch pail type jobs who do the nuts and bolts daily grind work of holding our democracy together.

So forgive me if I think you a little naive for framing this as "one old guy vs another old guy". Remember that a vote for one of those "old guys" is also a vote re-affirming the first black female vice president in history plus a thousand other staff members that both she and Biden vetted between them.

And a vote for the other "old guy" comes along with about a hundred fucking traitors and moochers and grifters and seditionists and convicted fraudsters and rapists and literal white supremacists, most of whom are his own fucking family members.

If you have creamer in the bottom of your mug, my Lorikeet is there for it.
