The strongest success predictor in computing fields isn't programming ability, experience or even interest. It's Affective Computing: How well do you cope with emotions tied to computing like frustration, stress, and confusion? Folks who can emotionally regulate can and will exceed other advantages.
okay it's time for a prompt post: respond to this post with a correction to a common misconception about something you know a lot about. if you feel like it, boost your response. (please use a kindly tone about it, otherwise i, your prompt curator, will get anxious.)

Something I just saw come up in a TikTok: Folks really do fixate on racist systems being driven by "hate" without ever reckoning or even learning about the many ways those systems economically profited the oppressors. Segregation and Jim Crow and White Riots were all VERY profitable to oppressors.

this is how i learn that the big bad in one season of dimension 20 was a real world capitalist
(4/*) Infrastructure decisions like those of Robert Moises' work in NYC created road conditions that made it so the places Black folks could reach via Public Transit were limited, enshrining that certain job sectors became harder for them to enter if they couldn't afford a personal vehicle.

Mountains between New York and Newfoundland were formed during the Acadian orogeny roughly 375 million years ago. This is very approximately as old as the earliest fossil evidence of copulation in animals, meaning that some of the Appalachian mountains are quite literally old as fuck.

right that would be ridiculous. that's why we build modern software based on what was happening to one specific telecom 40 years ago

a rule of thumb is it's never ok to say or imply that trans women are men. even if they are being shitty. that's not a lever you pull.

“it’s about ethics in nyt journalism” says carl gibson, local cishet white guy who exclusively posts about how much he hates anime pfps, blue hair, furries, & pronouns.

i would simply request that you read my thread that shows, quite clearly, that the NYT's impact on trans people isn't theoretical or amorphous (though it of course has those effects as well), but rather is quite direct. It is actively harming my trans siblings.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: *This thread is about the NYT AS A WHOLE* Feb 2, 2024: The NYT publishes a 4,500-word exercise in literary vomit by Pamela Paul titled “As Kids, They Thought They Were Trans. They No Longer Do.” By Feb 6, this embarrassment is cited in a conservative legal brief in Idaho.

You all know but have you noticed that when trans women get into arguments with the Cis Decider class it's almost never the cis people who experience any sort of hardship and the trans women and our like four allies always end up copping bans, permanent reputation damage even when we're right?
