This is great advice in general: establish personal boundaries early and stick to them. I never had a problem with vacation time or sick time, but I've had problems with this one a…

"The man who gives me employment, which I must have or suffer, that man is my master, let me call him what I will." -Henry George

What's wrong with being white?

That might have actually been legal. I'm not a lawyer, but it's definitely better for the accused than what happened in reality. "I told you not to. You're the ones who wiped my ph…

If it says "goatse" on it or it's only in bars (i.e. adults only venues), I don't mind it. As long as nobody is showing this to anyone under 18, IDGAF. California is full of degene…

To commemorate this occasion, I updated goatse.live with a slightly-improved copy of the ascii art from the goatse.ru mirror: https://goatse.live/ascii

By God, that's on another level. I'd be honored to have QR codes stuck to random walls and doors all over major cities linking to my shock site mirror!

I absolutely love neocities, I use it to host my goatse mirror (goatse.live).

This doesn't solve the harder problem: properly identifying bullying. Bullies don't usually bully other people in front of their authority figures. Most "anti-bullying" policies in…

I don't know why you were downvoted to hell. You were not defending the school's disciplinary approach, you were just describing it.

There's a crucial flaw in the dishonest "story" on this little web page of the Green Bay Packers being owned by the public: that "stock" is just a novelty piece of paper that carri…

OP, I would strongly recommend you try to play devil's advocate against your own case before making it, so you have a chance to refine your thoughts and rebut at least the top 2-3 …

Marking this as a WONTFIX should have gotten somebody fired at AMD. I find it hard to believe that at least one of their VPs doesn't frequent this site. I don't normally call for p…

By that logic, there was no value added in updating the syntax from ANSI C to C99: no reason to add double-slash comments, no reason to allow function-local variables to be declare…

Thanks for dealing in good faith and picking a reasonable interpretation of my comment instead of going "debate mode" and making a straw man. Just to clarify, I definitely wasn't s…

I'm just talking about the basic grammar of C. Scoping with curly braces, statements delimited using semicolons, the basic syntax for defining a function or a struct. I'm just talk…

Interesting project and all, but why does everybody out to make their own compiled language want to get away from the basic syntax of C so badly? Rust and Golang are the poster chi…

I'm glad someone pointed that out. They even have call and put options, and thousands of FPGAs in Chicago trying to arbitrage deviations from put-call parity from market open to ma…

Thanks for reminding me that "dicksten" means "biggest" in German!

I foresee a busy year for potato flour and MRE processing plants. ... And those little boxes of instant au gratin.

"One death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic." I suppose rooting for people to die doesn't sound barbarous, so long as you're not rooting for anyone in particular to die.

I didn't misunderstand anything. Your little "network effect", as you have so pretentiously worded it assumes teenagers are only getting on social media for their classmates, not f…

My grandfather was a farmer in the 70s-80s, and he used futures on about 50% of his crop every year. Just enough to make sure a bad year can't wipe out the farm.

Enforcement of that law is going to be a certifiable joke. My Chinese classmates back in undergrad in the early 2010s used to use a VPN to access their Facebook accounts when they …

The big about textiles (curtains and bed fabric) functioning as insulation gave me flashbacks to my dad repeatedly complaining over the past decade about a couple small boxes of my…
