Shit, I’d do that job for minimum wage, if only to see Musk fired.

Imagine how hard it would be to resist wording things in the Imperative just… Accidentally.

You get frustrated, yell “Shut up!” at someone in passing, and that person is now mute unless you realize your mistake and undo it.

Confidence? Not so much. But it’s less a fear of rejection, and more a fear of upsetting someone.

In short, my thought process goes like this:

• Approaching women can make them uncomfortable.
• I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable.
• Therefore, I don’t approach women.

I basically limit myself to online dating, but as we all know, that’s a shit show unless you’re in the top 10% on the scale of attractiveness. And so I’ve been single 10+ years.

Currently somewhere around 10 years single.

I struggle with social cues, anxiety, etc.

It’s lonely.

I had never heard that before, and that now my truth. It makes so much sense.

The Brood War remaster was actually pretty good, too. It was the last Blizzard product I bought.

If you think growing up in a conservative household guarantees a kid becomes conservative, you didn’t grow up in a conservative household.

I’ve seen “tankie” in leftist discussions on multiple sites for ages before I joined Lemmy.

Just because its a real word with a wiki page doesn’t make it any less annoying […]

And just because you first encountered a word in some place doesn’t mean that word originated in that place.

I’m with the above commenter. I’ve worked at many companies of various sizes, from small local shops up to international corporations, including at least one contractor for the US military.

Every one of them had rules and policies and training on security, to varying degrees. But at every one of them, I’d find some vulnerability, or instance where someone was neglecting security. Each time, I’d bring it to the attention of someone in management. Each time (with one company as exception), those warnings would be “heard” and “passed up the chain”, and then nothing would happen. Only one company in 20 years of work actually fixed a security issue I found. And no company I’ve ever worked for was leak proof.

In my experience, until it threatens to cost a company much more money in losses than it would cost to fix the problem, but said problem will not get fixed. That’s profit motive. And often it seems they’d rather roll the dice until a loss occurs, and then (maybe) fix the issue.

I used to believe this, but recent incidents have exposed systemic issues in engineering and QA at at least one major US aerospace manufacturer.

Do you have any examples of problems currently lacking a (plausible) software solution?
