Apply the ones in a star shape to distribute pressure evenly

Not in this specific age group. Overall men are overrepresented, not by 90% but they are, but less so in younger people

While I guess that’s true and it’s often surprising that the AfD is polling that well in the younger cohorts let’s not overstate their success. There are also a lot of people in that cohort very vehemently disagreeing with the AfD.

That is such a bullshit point. “The youth” doesn’t want one homogeneous thing. The youth is just as diverse in opinions as other cohorts, maybe even more so. It is also more likely to be on more radikal Sides of the political spectrum.

Valuing children only for the monetary value they will contribute is a very good way of producing unhappy children which in my view is pretty immoral. It’s also pretty close to viewing humans as capital and that’s problematic in it’s own right

Make sure it isn’t just the Pomeranians. Some Pomeranians are definitely going to be in the mix.

Covetous demon inspiration finally revealed

But the environment around you won’t be fine. Stray cats kill so many animals it’s actually a problem.

Did you just expect people that call random devs at random times to actually read any information on a website?

Rest Barbarian for more bonk

Servo exists

Yeah they were experimenting with 64bit exploitation when this signal handler got some focus regarding a (likely related) deadlock so they rushed to disclose their findings to the project to minimise the possibility of having eyes on this vulnerability

I guess it’s also my bad. After reading the text with a more neutral mindset it’s not that clear cut as I initially read it. My bs detector tends to get a bit sensitive when AI comes up and I interpreted the wording in the worst way possible.

The point being that tweets like the one in question are designed to do the opposite. They are designed to pull attention towards the knives and never to look at the leech.

I agree they are different things, I just wanted to object to this being an abstract problem. It’s a very practical one with very practical solutions. They do take time to implement though because it takes organised action.

Also, separate comment because it’s a separate thing. The analogy is actually perfect. We should be worrying about both things, the knife and the leech. The knife needs more immediate attention because the leech is actually pretty good at keeping it’s wound clean and not kill the host immediately.

The problem I have with the sentiment of the tweet of the bank is the very likely intended focus on just the one side of this issue. Part of why this is a long-winded social issue is because many people don’t take the time to analyse the situation more broadly. Because they have to deal with all the knives in their arms, and get reminded of yet more knives, that the leech can’t ever become the focus of the attention.

The leech is the company you are working for. Companies are getting away with paying you so little because you are removing every little expense that is still left in your life. Fighting for better pay is very much practical.

The thing is that the people you tell to stop buying their coffee to-go aren’t just bleeding. They are also being sucked dry.

The knife alone isn’t the best metaphor, but with an additional leech it’s closer to reality. And the doctor isn’t removing the leech he’s just removing the knife so you can still produce blood for the leech to suck out of you.

Also the doctor is paid by the leech to tell you how you can produce more blood but you shouldn’t expect to actually have more of it in your system. You see how hard the leech is working on extracting that stuff from you right? That’s basically a 24/7 job.

If that was a real card I would have hated the font of that 23 so hard
