LOL 😂 I am also a software developer. 30 years in almost every sector of IT short of 3D animation and games development.

And no, AI hallucinates too gratuitously for me, and just pisses the hell outta me. It’s worse than a gaggle of juniors in terms of all the extra work it generates.

At least your quirks allowed you to create a track record that was seen as stellar by others.

My own Voltron of ADD and Asperger’s allows me to do impressive things. But without any significant ability to monetize those traits or for it to be visibly profitable to someone else, it’s been a much more impactful hell on my employability.

I’ve come to hate how capitalism only “works well” for the masses who stumble and fumble through life, but who can easily conform to the required soul-sucking shape of profitability for someone else. People are more than just how much profit can be squeezed from them, and can provide back to civilization a lot more than what the current capitalistic structures parasitize out of them.

There are other economic structures that are much more humane and planet-friendly, but as a civilization we have been indoctrinated into seeing those frameworks as being “irredeemably evil” simply because prior “implementations” used them as a veneer of legitimacy over despotic authoritarian regimes.

The paradox of tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance not as a moral or legal standard, but as a social contract:

If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it.

In other words: the intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.

Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.

Aren't we entitled? No. Go away.

You challenged the premise. Either put up or shut up, bigot.

But you have nothing, don’t you. You just want to be mad, and refuse to accept that true equality means giving both genders the same rights. Otherwise why call it “equality”?

You don’t want equality. You want revenge. To nail men to the wall and make them suffer, even if they had zero fault in what happened or were actively lied to. That’s why you hate true equality. That’s why you cannot stomach both genders having full abortion rights, even if the man’s are only legal rights and do not include surgical rights.

There's a significant number of things that you're ignoring or are not privy to, where women are harmed by men.

You mean, like… domestic violence?

Oh, wow... That's some alpha bro shit right there. You deserve whatever hate comes your way for that.

Ah, another gender bigot, I see.

So tell me, why should one gender be absolutely denied what the other gender is fully allowed to do? Especially when - aside from the current lack of artificial wombs - BOTH genders could have the exact same rights?

Explain it to me in a way that doesn’t have you come across as a supremely bigoted female supremacist.

I knew of an African-American named Le-a.

Not spoken as “ley-ah”, but as “ledasha”.

Because you are supposed to say the dash.

I'm very sorry to hear about your aneurysm and how it's impacted your ability *to say anything that's even vaguely related to the group you're posting to*. I'm also very sorry to hear about your getting hit in the head by a shovel as an infant, thus causing you to say really stupid things as well.

Thoughts and prayers and healing vibes your way.

Imagine being someone so bereft of any viable counter-argument, that the only possible response is an ad hominem.

And receiving ad hominems is a great way to identify intellectual bankruptcies in others. When the puerile and solipsistic insults come out, you know you’ve gotten under their skin in ways they have no rational or logical adult-level responses for.

Masks are off, “radical feminism” was always a front.

You want to see rampant anti-male gender bigotry in play? Bring up - and be in favour of - “paper abortions”, and watch the hate flow.

Don’t get me wrong, I am absolutely in favour of giving women abortion rights. But giving rights to only one gender and blatantly denying those exact same rights to the other is the dictionary definition of gender bigotry.

And while I may not want porn and smut to be trivially accessible to non-adults - and have absolutely no use for it, myself - I also wholeheartedly support the right of any legal adult to consume that content.

And this is why capitalism utterly sucks at providing public services.

A German cookbook that I have first introduced me to the hub and spoke method of recipes. As in, it provided a base recipe at its most simplistic fashion, and then after that recipe, it listed ways you could modify that recipe for different kinds of dishes. Essentially listing points in the original where you could modify it in specific ways.

And this was no modern cookbook. It was printed back in the 60s.
