Sex shouldn’t be this weird thing we make it out to be.

If everyone is comfortable with this proposition, then go for it. It’s not for everyone, but in this case, there is no shame and no hiding. OP even communicated in advance what are his limits.

For whatever reason, we make sex weird. Communicate with your future partners and it will be a lot more enjoyable for both of you.

You got this.

You gotta be fucking dense to think that this is a normal thing. This is not normal that toddler kill anyone with a gun. If stating a statistic like that make you react like you did, you have a mental problem.

How can it not be about safety when children kills other people by finding a gun laying around?

Keep doing the mental gymnastics, you are winning the gold medal and breaking every record.

I know this is a joke, but reading that line of thoughts triggered me.

Do you think that traditional project management is from the top down? Or were you exposed to bad traditional project management? Because that’s the same argument that you are making for Agile.

Let’s make things clear - the Agile methodology is a great tool. But like any other tool, it is not a one size fits all. But what is happening right now is that it’s pushed by upper management because that’s the cool tool.

Like traditional project management?

No, it just means that this is not the right tool for that company. But it is forced upon the employees.

That’s naive ( or bad faith) to think that it gives power to the workers. It’s just used against them.

I get the spirit of the method, but it is not the only available tool and the right tool for every project and company and should be treated as such.

If there is so few people that get it right, maybe the problem is that the system is not adapted for the vast majority of people and the reality of the work life, and other options should be explored.

But there is always someone claiming that everyone else get it wrong and blablabla.

But someone with a MBA in a closed office is pushing that shit all the time, and everyone that has to use it roll their eyes because they know damn well that the only thing that will matter is those damn story points, and the people will game the system because that’s all that matters to those that don’t use the system, and you will hear about that other team that always finish the tasks in their sprint.

A bunch of freaks.

Trial by fire. I like that. I hope you had a decent solder tip haha.

It can be if you want

Were you around during the ps1 era when you could go to someone and change a chip to play copied discs? That’s the same thing here.

Someone has the know-how, he shares that info and that’s it. There is no knowledge involved, and the person installing the VPN doesn’t even need to know what it is called or what it does, as long as it allows them to watch tiktok.

Then that person tell their friends and it spreads. There is no technical knowledge.

Your initial point is that if someone is capable of installing a VPN, he is probably not a tiktok user.

But VPNs nowadays are extremely easy to setup. If for a tiktok user that means that they can access tiktok even though it is bannes in their country, they will follow a guide to set up a VPN, or a friend will show them.

There is literally no knowledge involved in that. So i’m not sure why you think VPN users are above that.

It worked for Netflix, it will work for tiktok.

You think too far. Some people have the knowhow to install a VPN on a phone and access tiktok. They share that info.

People that just want to access tiktok follow the info to install the VPN and have access to tiktok.

I don’t have the pc with me anymore, but I will try to find a screenshot that was circulating around with a ton of ads, which was my experience as well.

I just installed Win11 on a work computer last week, and there were at least 3 screens of the installer trying to push o365 or one drive.

Then you have the start menu where if you look for a software, 90% of the menu is an ad trying to push you a software. At the bottom, you have your search results.

And then there is the pop ups on the bottom right of the screen trying to sell you Candy Crush or another bullshit software.

That’s awful and I’m glad it wasn’t my computer

Lately, it feels like I can’t use a search engine anymore.

If your search is remotely related to something you can buy, you will get amazon, temu and wish listings first, the bullshit AI article and then if you are lucky, a little sliver of what you are looking for.

I genuinely didn’t know all that. Thanks for bringing that up. I’ve been lazy and told myself countless times I should switch to LibreWolf. Now’s the time.

It usually means that their logical thing is pretty good because discrete math is pretty much all that.

You learn a concept, then you modify it to apply to different contexts for different applications.

The math competitions is a good training for that.

I agree, but we should always compare to what is better and strive for that. Otherwise we get the situation today where the argument to take a product over another is that it’s less bad than the old one
