  • You honestly thought I was claiming there are Isreali suicide bombers? Although, now that truck-bombs are an IDF go-to for levelling neighborhoods in Gaza, who knows what's next?

    Doesn't change the fact that Muslims started blowing themselves up intentionally only well-after the Zionists took-over Palestine. If either of us is trying to de-couple or entwine things where they don't belong so-as to make arabs look bad, its you.

    One of us believes suicide bombers and proxy-bombers have reasons or circumstances leading to the things as they've done, literally sacrificed their own lives and those of innocents for, whether thought-out-at-all or misguided-extorted-manipulated-or-desperate ... and the other is pretending that acknowleging the existance of suicide bombers is be-smirching multiple ethnicities, cultures and a religion.

    You know why the characters in the OP aren't white Irish Catholics or hostages themselves? Because the IRA is irrelavent today and we don't have back-stories for these two; What they are doing isn't the point beyond the extreme contrast with their circumstances versus what the one is anxious about. If anything, we as the reader are being asked to empathize with the passenger, and/or the driver for having to put up with him.

  • Riiight ... none of the suicide bombings have anything to do with Israel.

  • I knew we had some dense ones here, but your vote ratio is still surprisingly bad to me. Being anything like right is just painfully un-popular, wow.

  • I think I'm more afraid of Drop-Bear Chlamydia, the little teeth and claws, and/or the screaming because it's too stupid to get back in the tree, than of getting Mauled by the bigger ones. No, I don't care about the likelihood, I'll be punting the bastard, running away, or both.

  • I figured this out in the first few months. Any other driver I tried explaining this to called me crazy and/or a cheater. I made twice what they did in a third of the drive-time, maybe half the time in my car when you count the time I sat Available while playing on my phone, using indoor bathrooms like a human-being, napping/meditating, or stuffing my face.

    Sure buddy, I'm just that jealous of your work-ethic and two-door hatch-back that's probably seen you reported dozens-of-times over. Super-hacker, liar, lazy fuck; Ya got me dead to rights.

    Edit: I only drove passengers for the ride-share companies. Washing my hands enough for anything food related on an on-going basis destroys my skin, and my car is nicely climate-controlled, so ...

  • They would literally make more money by job-hopping in pursuit of such a company, but you're right. Even a single team that remembers what ethics are is a big ask.

  • I agree that the things they are saying are non-optional aren't, and that teams can get too large, resource allocations so large they become a hindrace, etc ... but calling being intentional about such things "cheap" just invites Elon-stans and their ilk to give their teams, suppliers, and vendors shit over not magically pulling off the unicorn-trifecta,; Without (paid)overtime, no-less.

    Do NOT let people re-define the necessities and trade-offs of price(raw materials, equipment, comforts, safety), pay, team-size, or (excessive)managerial/administrative overhead. In the end, they will have you feeling like you owe them for the opportunity to do the work of five people for peanuts.

    If you care to check my comment history, I recently got-into-it for trying to redefine "en-shitification" to include things like tech-debt and planned-obselescence. Really, what irks me is that the one has all-but shut-down conversations about the other two. "That's just enshittification" or "that's not enshittification" will get trotted-out whenever needed to bring the conversation away from them, or keep it from moving towards the two, because no-one gets promoted by mentioning any of the three, but enshittification is almost-acceptable water-cooler talk, for the moment, with the bonus that it shames the speaker for cussing.

  • Wrong take on cheap, and addressed to the wrong party in the system. Efficiency and simplicity are already mandatory for being good, particularly in software.

    This is why so many techbros should stick to software, or even better, sales. You are not the user.

  • As a tech, I HATED how often this worked. I want to know what actually went wrong. I usually have some idea ... but no, finding that out is rarely the job.

    What I don't get is how I'm getting posts by someone that's Banned in my feed. Last time I tried interacting with one of these posts, it was deleted after a comment thread went overlong or something, I'm not sure.

    Good stuff.

    idk why you guys don't make votes public it's so asocial, it destroys the nuances in communication. not voting - because I prefer to vote when not replying - results in them assuming a downvote is me

    Jump

  • On the one-hand, I'm with you. On the other, almost no-one actually checks the comment-history of those they interact with here. You'll mostly get the set that can't be bothered to notice nuance diving into vote history instead.

    You want people insulting you or refusing to interact with you because you downvoted a post or three in a random community, no matter how many you up-voted from same? Be my guest, but make it happen it yourself.

  • Samaria? Like that place where the non-Israeli, non-Jewish Samaritans lived, even in the time of Jesus? Let's do that one. It hasn't been strictly "Judea" since the Book of Esther.
