  • I shared this before.

    If you were a person of color, having Uber and Airbnb were a game changer. Taxis and hotels were awful from the 80s-2010s.

    Taxis were racists and often wouldn’t even pick you up. If they did, they often took you on a joyride. Hotels were absolute shit holes. Want to complain about your room? Go pound sand.

    Those industries werent good for decades. And the disruption actually made car sharing much more consistent and hotel experiences better.
















  • At my last job, my manager was a conservative white Karen. She invited my wife and I over for dinner, and I’m guessing he was not prepared for me to be a person of color in a mixed marriage. And the dude has some real conservative opinions that she agreed with half the time, and the other half, clearly looked uncomfortable and refused to confront it.

    Where my wife and I go at it all the time with conflicting views and find a middle ground.

    And it makes me wonder why more conservative women aren’t being more Karen-like against their husband. I mean, I know why, but still.


  • Unpopular opinion:

    For a open source project like the above which has so many constant moving parts, a discord is probably a good idea to ensure the author of the issue can provide more details about their problem and respond to follow up immediately.

    Because I can absolutely see a breaking change involving something outside of the open-source project itself.

    I say that as a person who hates discord. But I’m also part of the older generation so waiting 3-9 months for a reply is kinda normal. And the projects I support, it’s pretty common to make a merge request that finally gets approved a two years later.





  • I can guarantee you that Oregon is absolutely not looking at Idaho.

    Idaho chose to be antivax, then flooded Oregon/Washington hospitals for treatment.

    Idaho chose to restrict women’s health services, then medical staff ran off to work in Oregon/Washington.

    While OR/WA chose to increase hourly pay, Idaho chose against it.

    The average Idaho citizen is absolutely worse off than their neighbor.
