Correct. Learning a programming language is trivial. Far easier than a foreign language.

If we think of it in terms of learning a language, what matters is the grammar and ability to use it to struct prose to create a coherent story.

There’s also a lot of reuse which requires knowing what’s available. The closest analogy there is how music sampling is used.

Ketamine, admittedly.

The post didn’t ask for ethical requirements to be included in the advice.

Appending additional personal requirements turns the conversation towards one’s personal soapbox.

You’re an angry drunk.

No one likes an angry drunk.

Emotional abuse detected.

Most children don’t have a drinking problem like you do.

But if insist on acting like a child, don’t pretend it’s everyone else’s fault you’re being mommied. It’s to protect us from you.

Yes. Investing is always worth it unless you have credit card debit.

Set it up to automatically invest into the lowest fee index fund your broker offers.

That’s going to depend on the location. I do not live in a heavily populated area so they are usually delivering one order at a time. The only time there was enough volume to stack orders was during Covid.

Definitely financial illiteracy.

I can afford it but refuse to use those services. They inflate the menu prices, add fees. I’m ok with tipping but not the rest of that.

Also, it’s ridiculously inefficient compared to picking it up yourself. It’s not just someone else is doing the drive for you. The delivery does work for the store so there is extra driving occurring, deadheading in trucker parlance.

$5.99 where I’m at. You’re getting gouged.

Yeah, no shit. They wrote a bunch of books with varying accounts claiming exactly this. All retcon. All written decades after the events. The Bible is bullshit.

That’s all retconning.

Dude showed up with a message for peace, was murdered and his murder is celebrated. Literally, a bunch of people running around pretending that’s what he wanted. The propaganda is so strong that everyone just accepts it as fact.

It’s really not much different than claiming a women wanted to be sexually assaulted because of what she was wearing.

It was all the consolidation. They’re little feifdoms now.

Best we can hope for is some new medium to rise up that they cannot buy out.

Mostly the same. My biggest headache has been some of my dependents have secondary insurance and no matter which company I’ve been with at the time, they always assume all of the do and will forget multiple times a year which are which and deny all of them claims until I talk to them because there are of course no self serve options there.

I also care for a child who is on medicaid, never any problems there. All the scary news on how I shouldn’t be able to find providers has never been an issue and they are many medical conditions.

Those are the stories I call bullshit on. They want us to be afraid of single payer so they over emphasize lack of care while ignoring the people who directly pay and actually lack care.

Quite the opposite.

The older you get the less clever it feels to point out the common mistakes of others

Because drinking “milk” from nuts and oats isn’t weird?

People have been drinking animal milk for thousands of years so the weird ones are those pretending some heavily processed industry process isn’t weird.
