This is why I would have crossed behind but, did he make eye contact with you? A Pillars are so fucking thick nowadays cars have blindspots forward of the driver. And frankly some people should have never passed their driving tests and we would have public transit to get them where they need to be.

Had a guy pulling out of a parking lot while I was walking on the sidewalk, with him waiting on the sidewalk to pull into traffic. He actually bothered to back up a bit so I didn't have to walk in front or behind him. It wasn't necessary but a cool gesture. We could all do a little more of that in the world.

You gotta actively try to reach that kinda score, it's almost impressive. You have to go out of your way to be a jackass.
Yesss, go bankrupt to own the libs!
I missed an opportunity to say the bunkiest of funches, and I'll never forgive myself.
hear ye hear ye, behold the funkiest of bunches
I'm with you. I used to build maps, models, and textures for Battlefront 2 and share the files for free on Filefront. I got into programming for the joy of creating things that make people happy, or solve some little problems they have. I still make mods, the communities are out there and I'm glad I found them.
But tech evangelists and bro culture ruined the idea of programming as a career for me. The greed of late stage capitalism infected our industry the moment Facebook hit the scene, crypto accelerated it, and AI may as well be the final nail in the coffin. It's no longer a worthy or noble profession.
Yeah that about sums up how I view the rest of my life playing out.
Fuck, I got lost in the UI. 😂 Mbin is great but there's just a little too much visual noise.
Ah I see my mistake, thanks for clearing that up. Makes me wish "meanwhileongrad" was still around.
Am I misreading the modlog? This was .world's moderator removing SereneSadie's comment. The .ml user was just the OP.
Wow... That's quite the journey. Thank you for sharing it.
It's particularly enlightening is that the diversity of information presented to you is what helped you change. Not just one "gotcha" quote from some online commenter, one snippy remark about a noticeable hypocrisy. Not one source of disruption, but many. I think that's fascinating, and extremely helpful for those of us with family who only get their news and opinions and politics from one place.
Again, thanks for telling your story.
