    (bipolar, recovering alcoholic) but I don't go around demanding the world accommodate me

    Why not? :gigachad-hd:

        No no, that's just the world acknowledging "normal" and not having "a narrative." :us-foreign-policy:

        Probably gets accommodated just by the fact that he's probably a programmer and makes a lot of money.

      For real though, the world should accomodate you for your problems, that's what society is for.

      We didn't develop by far the most specific and elaborate communication system in all of nature, more developed than those of all other creatures on earth combined, to shut up about our problems. We're supposed to tell others so we can help each other.

    "it's a neologism from the 90s so it's not real" YOU ARE LITERALLY ON THE TECH INDUSTRY CIRCLEJERK FORUM BRO. YOUR JOB WAS LITERALLY INVENTED 3 YEARS AGO.

    "Hacker" :bootlicker: News is depressingly sycophantic and status-quo seeking.

      I think they simultaneously have a trans character in all their dramas, but hire a transphobe for all their comedy specials. Peak :both-sides:

      I never tried to figure that out, I just charged straight into the culture war like everyone else.

    I have been there less for the past month or so, it's been pretty good though I miss the occasional cool tech thing I'd find

      I really wish there was a lefty version of it. The esoteric tech content is interesting, but the comments/users are so horrifically :libertarian-approaching: and :centrist:, it makes me feel ill.

      I just want to be able to talk about tech and programming in an environment that doesn’t make me feel deeply black pilled about it all.

            New users fare badly...there are all sorts of taboos here and it's super easy for them to step on a landmine and get permanently banned.

              It's good that most of the HN types would be banned here, it is exactly why me and probably the other user do not visit HN any more.

                  Probably not. Lol love how you're telling on yourself, just because you've been banned for being a prick doesn't mean most people have

        There's /r/SocialistProgrammers, but it's a pretty dead subreddit. And will probably eventually get banned by :reddit-logo: admins over made-up antisemitism allegations or some shit.

    Warm beer is objectively more gooder. Why freeze your tongue unless you're dulling the taste of bad beer? I drink warm saisons and could suck those tastes.

    The tech industry is the realm of reactionary logic bros who think they know all there is to know about the world because they get paid $100K a year to set up databases, even though their sole political education is the Marvel Cinematic Universe

    I say this as a tech worker
