If actual an scientific white paper from PubMed with research and data does not convince you that coffee has a strong laxative effect on around 30% of people, then there's not much else to say.

There's still people who believe the world is flat despite all evidence to the contrary.

It's very difficult to have a discussion with someone who prefers their own opinions over science.

Regular as in "occuring at uniform intervals"

Yeah because they have public restrooms available.

Coffee effects around 30% of people with a strong laxative effect.

Around 30% of people experience a strong laxative effect from coffee.

It's actually really healthy as it keeps your digestive system and colon cleansed.

It's only an issue if there's no public restrooms.

I hope you learned something today.

Literally been to hundreds of cities all over the world and have always been able to find a public restroom until San Francisco!

Although I would imagine New York City might be the same, never been there.

having regular bowel movements is actually really healthy.. it's only an issue if youre in a place with no public restrooms available

thanks for your concern! I get a check up every year! healthy as a horse!

Having regular bowel movements is actually a really healthy thing.

It's only really a problem when there's no public restrooms available.

Yeah the lines in those places are incredibly long just to get to the counter at least in the market street area where I was. I desperately tried.

Coffee affects me strongly. What can I say. I get a cleanse every morning for 3 bucks. Cleansing your digestive tract is actually really good for you. People pay big bucks for cleanses.

Exactly. You can get a venti coffee at Starbucks and get a refill for 52 cents and if you're not from San Francisco, you don't realize how brutal the public toilet situation is until its too late.

I just drank a huge amount of Starbucks.

People think its the homeless pooping on the streets of San Francisco but I was an employed software engineer making 6+ figures and pooped on the street one time since I could find a restroom.

Have been taking a few months off and seeing this reminds me of why I hate the tech industry or just corporate America in general.

Bullshit politics.

From another poster in this thread:

"Reality is highly malleable and people will craft whatever narratives they need to to get the things they want done"

I don't think you're supposed to.

What's supposed to happen is you learn on the job but that rarely happens because unless you graduated from a top 10 school you're typically hired to do drudgery that exists due to poor tech management.

So if you are actually a normal person in tech with things going on in your life you will inevitably fall behind.

Genius!

This may work for non-neurotic people but laying still in bed is when the demons in my mind come out to play and remind me of all of my problems.

The problem with remote work is management not employees.

ICs job is literally to work not to come up with innovative new ideas to advance the company. Thats what MANAGERS AND EXECUTIVES ARE SUPPOSED TO DO and the ICs implement those ideas.

For some reason it's expected now for IC s to be doing managements jobs and for that reason they need to be coming into the office for collaboration?

The managers and executives are the ones who meed to be going into the office to collaborate.

Good management would come up with the ideas and efficiently break it down so that ICs can take the work and run with it no collaboration needed.

No this is all about control and 'cultural fit' shaming to fear people into doing their jobs rather than being a good manager that is capable of distributing work in an efficient way and treating people in a way that people are inspired to do great work for you a thousand miles away even without any supervision.

It's a lot more difficult to be a manager that people follow out of respect and love vs a manager people follow out of fear and constant monitoring.

Confidence in Americans institutions. is at an all-time low.

The America of today is like a literal different country compared to the America of 1960's and before.

Its becoming a very low quality of life place for the average America teetering towards 3rd world levels of inequality with minimal social safety nets.

If you call Britain first world country, they're way worse than America.

another interesting collection of data: https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/

Ive found way more difficult managers than difficult employees in my career.

Difficult managers need to be terminated as well.

If only people would have responsible amounts of children we could all share in the wealth.

As the billions of third world people continue having irresponsible amounts of children to expand to the new resources given to them.it becomes impossible for most first worlders to compete and everywhere becomes third world.

So it may not be as good of a thing as it seems.

Its funny the recent middle class is actually an abberation throughout most of human history.

Most of human history has been the rich with their foot on the neck of the poor.

The reason global wealth is increasing is because your friends local wealth is decreasing.

The rich stay rich but the more and more zero sum resources allocated to the first world working class are being distributed to the entire world now.

This is an awesome manager style imo. Figure out how to promote your employees within the system that exists and make them aware of what they need to do as well politically. Many managers dont even do that. They just kind of let the employees flounder.

> "High performing"

I havent really see Google doing any innovation in about a decade or more? What have they done significant since maps and android over a decade ago?

Apple stomping them in hardware, openai stomping them in AI, AWS stomping them in cloud, Nvidia stomping them on game streaming.

Google has a monopoly on a big ad network at its core and thats not high performing or innovative.

I thought that the more high status the company would indicate better technology stacks and better quality of engineering.... but all the high status seems to do is pull in people who are really good at politics and doing promotion based development which is kind of counter to the science aspect of computer science.

> taking a crap is more beneficial to society than such commentary

I was literally just pointing out some very simple observations and you left a hugely hateful comment.

Fascinating to see how Elon Musk stirs up such strong emotions in people.

Seems like this touched a nerve for you to take the time to leave such a long hateful comment instead of just moving on to the next comment.. so clearly there's something of substance here.

Unless...Mark Zuckerberg is that you??

Its weird at that point it wont drop off whether you pay the collections or not, for 7 years so theres literally zero incentive to pay the collections off.

Tech in general is saturated.

Theres probably a billion Chinese and Indian people who are good at technology who could do all of our jobs.

I wouldnt worry so much about job security as much as what you enjoy most.

> Life has convinced me otherwise.

Anec-data

you make a lot of claims without a lot of evidence.

A single monopolistic entity that can use violence to accomplish it's means is no way to run a country.
