Understandable.

You fundamentally misunderstand why I used to care and now don't. I don't believe in virtue ethics, I don't even believe in free will.

Before it mattered if they won because it'd (maybe) prevent doom. Now I don't see a way out. Its consequences that matter and we're now signed up for the worst consequences regardless.

It sometimes depends on the programmer's situation. Maybe its "lose a ton of credibility or live on the street/lose your H-1B Visa"

Oh, so you're saying real estate investors are going to get a big pay off. That's fun. Its been too long since they got a break. /s

Sometimes its either ship something broken or lose your job.

Good luck to her.

No you fucking ingrate. Democrats would have lost if they listened to them anyway. The tik tok voters were never going to vote for democrats, that would be against their sense of virtue. Harris fucked up a ton by not distancing herself from conservatives and Biden but even she tried to throw the Palestinian protesters a bone at one point and there wasn't a singular budge.

The reason the DNC lost is many. The blame for the end of US democracy is easily spread around because there are many people deserving of blame. It doesn't really matter anymore anyway though does it?

Wikipedia says he was an atheist not a christian.

I say this as an autist who used to fucking loathe talking on the phone: Its that the phone takes up too much mental energy and time, yet has a time limit on your own responses. Its hellishly stressful when you are socially incompetent, and now a lot of even non-autistic people are becoming socially incompetent.

Now its funny, I hated phone calls back when everyone liked them. Now I'm pretty OK at them because I worked at a call center for a year and now it seems like everyone now hates phone calls. I kinda recognize that the one nice thing about phone calls is there is no "set up your account before ordering your food" type bullshit. There is a consistency to phone calls.

Its a mistaken desire to not have to actually work to live via turning hobbies into one's job. The phrase "If you enjoy what you do you'll never work again in your life" in application.

It doesn't work.
