I'd argue that your sentiment is part of this alleged "victim hood culture". you're complaining here about people who feel offended and hurt on a regular basis. is that really affecting your life? would it affect you if _your_ personality would be what you consider the ideal - strong and unapologetic (as in apologizing when necessary but not just to please people)? you wouldn't give a f...
so, you mean a thief who goes to the police to honestly declare what she stole should be entitled to keep the stuff?
Yes! I am regularly in the mood to watch something on YouTube - mostly new documentaries on societal/political subjects. But I just can't find anything relevant. Also the search function is critically handicapped. It's really frustrating. They are not increasing my time on YouTube, they reduce it.
race based and caste based discrimination are both technically the same and fall into the "racism" category.
B/c it is being ignored while in plain sight.
Get yourself some Monero and order LSD, already, for Christ's sake ...
I just thought, I know that name ... DVassallo ... oh, yes, now I remember! You're this guy who comes here to brag about his income in regular intervals! Always a pleasure :)

Would it be possible to use this as the infrastructure for a clandestine, low-bandwidth, text-based mesh network? An internet for nerds kind of thing.
Maybe a good moment to commemorate the infamous RedTubeGate from 2013 in Germany:
A couple lawyers and fishy business men launch an ad campaign on RedTube. Through that advertisement they collected IP addresses of visitors.
Before launching that campaign they allegedly bought the rights for three cheap porn flicks.
Now they also claim that they have some miraculous software which allows them to track who has been watching those flicks on RedTube. They even get a totally unclear blueprint for that software officially certified by a surveyor. [4]
Then they appeal to a court in Cologne for the real world addresses corresponding to the IP addresses arguing they can prove those poor schmocks watched their illegally uploaded crap flicks.
Suddenly thousands of people receive letters threatening legal action if they do not agree on paying a fee of 250 Euro. Many people comply out of fear for their reputation and just pay.

Why would anybody use 1Password if you can get Bruce Schneier's PasswordSafe for free (https://pwsafe.org/)?
Maybe a case of making your mark as a designer by hunting for seemingly low hanging fruits. So every newly hired designer will try to get some of his ideas squeezed into a new model. Instead of a conservative approach less "revolutionary" approach. At least that's my theory for why UX of almost anything nowadays seems to decline with every iteration.
I can't remember a single job interview where I was asked SQL questions. But I can say that I conducted dozens of interviews for developers and almost always asked for some simple queries.
The first question would be for the statement retrieving an entire table without any restrictions or conditions and 50% would fail giving that query. If somebody would manage to actually build a query involving a JOIN, WHERE and a GROUP BY then that interviewee is pretty much hired ...
