Unfortunately it’s not a bait and switch, there real issues in how we’re failing boys and men are surely contributing to this concerning trend.

Especially when we blame the victims.

These “True Men” ass holes are simply swooping in to prey on the young men who’ve been left behind, like any cult leader would.

Game development is a very specific use case, and NOT what most people think of when talking about devs vs ops.

I’m talking enterprise software and SaaS companies, which would be a MUCH larger part of the tech industry then games.

There are a large number of devs who think public cloud as infrastructure is ALWAYS the right choice for cost and availability for example… Which in my experience is actually backwards, because legacy software and bad developers fail to understand the limitations of this platforms, that it’s untrustworthy by design, and outages insue.

In these scenarios understanding how the code interacts with actual hardware (network, server and storage or their IaaS counterparts) is like black magic to most devs… They don’t get why their designs are going to fall over and sink into the swamp because of their nievete. It works fine on their laptop, but when you deploy to prod and let customer traffic in it becomes a smoking hole.

“IT people” here, operations guy who keeps the lights on for that software.

It’s been my experience developers have no idea how the hardware works, but STRONGLY believe they know more then me.

Devops is also usually more dev than ops, and it shows in the availability numbers.

2016 is well after 9/11/2001… People where already very I jaded on the Internet.

I suspect you where just too young to be jaded yourself yet.

Terrible take, she’s not a politician and not interested.

Now Gretchen Whitmer might have been a better candidate had we been able to have a primary.

Political extremists, such as yourself, are exhausting.

It’s like talking to a religious fanatic, there’s no reasoning with someone who’s made a decision based on emotion instead of logic.

So why dont we have tarrifs on the ones that are produced in Mexico too?

Mexico is not China.

It is in our best interest to have a stable and economically improving neighbor on our southern border.

Your all or nothing / black or white view of the world is extremely childish & naive. Simple solutions to complex problems are just how politicians manipulate those who don’t want to think to hard. Stop pretending that global trade policy is a simple solution arena & try thinking a little harder.

OR, ya’ll are missing the joke entirely, in that he doesn’t think he’s ‘punching down’… nore is he making fun of who you think he is.

In fact, the joke is at the expense of people like those in this thread who are getting bent out of shape taking words out of context. It was tailor made to upset YOU, specifically. YOU, and your unnecessary outrage, are the butt of the joke. He’s mocking those who go overboard with the virtue signaling, and you all here are taking the bait hook, line & sinker.

There is a problem right now with self elected ‘thought police’ trying to remove all discourse, and that is VERY unhealthy for a liberal society. Totalitarianism is not healthy, no matter what your motivation is. Sacred cows are ALWAYS something to be targeted by comedy & satire, and the left wing totalitarianist word/thought police are very much a valid target, every bit as much as the MAGA idiots. For society as a whole, they are equally as dangerous, the end goal is the same but with different underlying motivations.

That being said, the special was lackluster. It felt like he was contractually obligated to give Netflix another special by the end of 2023 but didn’t have enough material yet & even what he had wasn’t very polished.

And your not taking into account the money the Chinese government is dumping into the industry to produce those low cost products.

The goal is to dominate the industry world wide, and you just want to allow that.

This isn’t ‘fear mongering’ this is realism.

Your last sentence is just hilarious. You believe we can’t do it because capitalism is bad, and so you want to cede the entire future of the industry to a forign power run by a dictator who would 100% use it as a weapon against us.

The world isn’t black or white, and in this case protectionism for local industry is the best of the many bad choices.

Frankly we should be dumping public money into the same industry, but we have a strong majority who are fighting it tooth & nail. If you want to be angry about the expensive EVs here, get upset about the lack of government subsidies compared to China.

Pretty short sighted take.

When we ceed the entire auto market to Chinese manufacturing, do you think our economy will thrive?

Do you believe they won’t use this power to influence our actions on the global stage?

Wait your 2 years and calm down.

It was after the civil war, a general amnesty had been declared nobody was being tried.

Furthermore they where obviously guilty, with a serious paper trail of a rebal government to back up their guilt.

Trump is garbage who defied his oath and committed treason… But he still deserves a trial first. And that trial should have already completed.

Nope. Michigan primaries are run by the state like any other election.

We have open primaries, anyone who’s registered to vote can vote in our primaries.

My guess is Trump’s not been convicted of acts that would disqualify him.

This was always a flimsy case, without a conviction that we should already have.

I loved it.

As someone with ADHD I felt a strong kinship to Evelyn. Though I think personality wise I’m more a Wayman and my wife Evelyn.

The line about her being the best to defeat jobu chubaka because she was the worst version of herself hit home.
