There you go, defend the bigots and ban the people fighting them.

You’re fighting the good fight, mister moderator guy

I believe the reason for the uptick is two-fold.

1.) In general, this is a reactionary movement from the elite class of society(straight, white, cis people) to keep a death grip on the social and systemic power they see being taken from them in the form of diversity, equality, feminism, etc. This has been happening for a long time now, but it got real, real bad after...

2.) ...Trump was elected. Him winning the election was a shot of weapons-grade steroids into the ass of these regressive movements. He validated and emboldened them. He made them feel not only okay about being bigoted, but morally good for it.

That's my thoughts, at least.

His thesis statement is entirely misleading. He absolutely recommends it. The entire article reiterates several times how happy he was and continues to be that he passed up more secure opportunities again and again over the years.

Not sure why the clickbaity title was necessary.

No upfront cost is going to be a big selling point. It's the same thing Jack Threads has been doing for some time with massive success.

Allow me to save you thirty seconds: The author defines 'hard work' as any kind of work that is physically taxing and/or dangerous. Any other kind of work is simply challenging, not 'hard'.

Maybe I want to see something that allows me to tick boxes for the boilerplate I want?

Something like this perhaps? http://megaboilerplate.com/

Sweet Jesus that thing is borderline impossible to read.

Once, while on a road trip, the wife and I ended up walking around Roswell, New Mexico at 2:00AM on a Tuesday. The town was completely lifeless as you described. We didn't see a single person for hours. The dark, empty town coupled with the alien/UFO decor literally everywhere you looked is still one of the more surreal things I've experienced. I have sort of a warm nostalgia for it, though.

Interesting idea. It's been said that lack of alternatives to viewing sporting events is the biggest reason the remaining cable subscriber base hasn't cut the cord yet. Definitely an area sorely in need of disruption.

Not to mention that history has shown that if you give people enough cash to just get by, they tend to lean towards a leisure lifestyle of drug abuse, gambling, non-education, non-productivity, etc. Why not? If no worries, then you might as well party.

Any sources to back up this statement?

"But it turns out that the effects of a UBI on labor participation weren’t nearly as bad as some had feared. Researchers[1] found that households as a whole reduced their workloads by about 13%, as economist Evelyn Forget explains in a 2011 paper published by Canadian Public Policy. But within each household, the (generally male) primary breadwinners cut back on work hours only slightly. Women who were secondary earners reduced their work hours more, devoting more time to household care and staying home with young children. Teenagers also put off getting part-time jobs to focus on school, leading to a noticeable decline in high school dropout rates in Dauphin, and to double-digit increases in high school completion among participating families in New Jersey, Seattle, and Denver."

I mean, call it what you will, but a lot of these people are getting offers, man. Good ones. Which is more than I can say for myself with my comp sci degree and two years experience. Although my location is likely to blame for that.

A few months? Man, that's fast.

Literally one of the things on my bucket list is to 'catch-up' on SCP. But I read so damn slowly and new entries are added all the time, so, it's likely never gonna happen.

Still enjoy the hell out of scaring myself at night by reading them, though.

They should be.

They'd have no issue cutting you loose at the drop of a hat if layoffs were happening, so why should they expect any sort of company loyalty from you?

Apparently Ethereum has dropped almost 22% in the last day. That's unreal.

It doesn't surprise you that comments simply pointing out where to go donate blood for the victims of the mass shooting were removed without explanation?

Is donating blood to victims of a mass shooting an alt-right, Islamophobic thing?

The way the entire thing was handled was deplorable. I got shadowbanned for posting a link to a BBC article on the shooting, which I only did because I thought it was weird as shit that it seemed like no one had done so yet.
