A desperate belief that they are impoverished because they need to compete with an ethnic out group and a belief that the out group is taking their shit, murdering them, and stealing/raping their women.

Even though its largely due to capitalism and technologically induced paranoia & loneliness.

As an American, no, at least when it comes to averages. Fuck the average American.

Both equally insufferable, but NFT son is more consequentially risky.

Human beings are dying everyday in horribly unjust ways, not just Palestinians, and Palestinians are going to be worse off under Trump. If you disagree with the latter point you are delusional and we don't need to talk anymore.

I wanted to minimize death and suffering. Harris objectively would have caused less than Trump. That's it.

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"

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.
