I started getting emails from Amazon recruiters about every 3 days for the past few months, and I have no idea what caused me to pop up on their radar.

Is it really a “win” if no one else is playing?

What makes it groupthink rather than simply being in agreement about something?

It’s ironic that people are trying to censor you for this.

Paper money is not actually made of paper.

That's probably why they used the word correlated, and suggested how a causal relationship could be established.

They do.

How would removing Windows accomplish this? Throwing your own stuff away after paying for it doesn’t make sense, they already have your money.

> "Nice guy? I don't give a shit. Good father? Fuck you! Go home and play with your kids. If you want to work here, close."

Ugh, no. This is terrible advice.

What else would people negotiate for?

Who did it?

Say you have 5 bags with 5 apples in each. How many apples do you have? 5 x 5 = 25.

If you have 5 empty bags, 5 x 0 = 0.

Why is it good that no more can be printed though? The value of all total goods in existence is not fixed, so why a currency where you don’t know how much you’ll able to buy with it in the future?

I don’t see any use cases for it except tax avoidance or illicit transactions, neither of which I have any need for. Why use it for anything else when I have no way to know that it will be worth anything tomorrow? I realize the same could be said for paper money but I have less confidence in Bitcoin.

What is Bitcoin backed by? What commodity could any currency be backed by that isn’t subject to the same volatility?

How exactly would a gender pronoun help you understand?

Until never.

That makes no sense. How can you do away with progressive taxation without increasing the tax burden on the lower and middle classes?

Normalization implies that there’s something abnormal about going outside for some light exercise, fresh air, and a change of scenery. I enjoy those things but it’s not hard to abstain from other normal activities that I don’t.

I’ve never heard of anyone being forced to take a leisure walk.

I can’t stand the thought of lifting weights. So I just don’t do it. It’s never crossed my mind to write a 5000 word essay about it.

It’s entirely optional, no? Surely you’re no sick to death of other people having them?

What’s a real human?

Wow that’s a mindfuck. I understand it in an optical sense but not intuitively. Do you have a good explanation for this?

Yeah I can see why you have a hard time hiding your “political views”, as you call them.

> The whole diversity thing is extremely one-sided and biased and very much undiverse in nature.

Can you elaborate?

That’s not a FAANG company, but ok. You can write off your contempt for diversity, inclusion, etc. as a political view but it says more about you as a person. You’re likely difficult to work with and won’t treat your coworkers with respect. Why would anyone put up with that?

Counterpoint: FAANG companies don’t ask about your political views in job interviews. If you’re volunteering them, you’re doing it wrong.

The human mind invented the concept of life. There’s no objective definition other than what people decide that it means, because no other form of intelligence tries to make the distinction.

You can do better than that.
