You did the right thing, the person was angry with no real outlet for it, so their brain found someone to blame to release that tension. They were not thinking rationally and attempts to argue would have been stonewalled and probably would have escalated things.

This is not a justification for their behaviour, it was despicable and wrong. More so my opinion of why anything other than what you did was correct.

I’m really sorry.

Acronyms vs Initialisms

No one is going to try pronounce Fbi, it’s awkward.

There are terms that bridge the Acronym/Initialism divide. SQL-Sequel, URL-Earl and GUI-Gooey are some that come up fairly regularly in my line of work.

The bottom line is; Language is used to communicate concepts. We are lazy and do it as efficiently as we can get away with. The rules have changed a LOT to get us where we are today. It would be blind hubris to think the change will stop just because we don’t like it.

I dunno man.

Company: Here’s a change.

Users: This sucks!

Company: Ok, let’s roll that back.

If the company were Apple, the change would stick. If it were Microsoft, the change would be rolled back for 2 weeks and then quietly re added.

That is still my favourite internet.

No to self defence. You learning self defence will only provoke a stronger response from the guys who will go up to and beyond killing you, and may call in actual military support if required.

Civil disobedience feels like a better approach. Forming human walls, information networks and rapid support responses slow and mitigate attacks on your community.

Applying pressure to your representatives also can help.

I was looking for something about sharing antibodies or something to do with disease resistance, but it’s not listed in the article

Not just the perfect beach body. The perfect body.

Literally me.

I’m nearly 40 and the world they are facing is so different to what I experienced that I don’t know if any advice I could give would even make sense.

Don’t suffer fools, I guess. Life is too short to put up with people who don’t, won’t or can’t respect you. You don’t have to make it a big deal, in fact that might be the wrong move if you’re dealing with a narcissist. Instead become uninteresting when interacting with them. The Grey Rock technique.

Show support, if you can! (And if the project is still active)

PAYNE!!! You gotta help meeee!

…Ok. But only because it’ll fuck with Vlad.

No Bi/Pan guys, I subscribe to harmful stereotypes of Bi/Pan dudes being greedy or overly promiscuous.

Self raising?

Sprinkle some flower petals around your zipper

Yep! (Though “one or two” might be too few!)

That is part of it, but you also need to practice asking clarifying questions and collaborating around a solution. OP was pretty much guaranteed to fuck up their first go. It’s something that gets easier over time.

Also, something that really messed me around was that System Design questions have a particular form and expectations around them. So read up on how they flow and practice those too

Yeah, but if they didn’t do anything then they’d get roasted and maybe sued for negligence.

I am very done with Samsung’s smart tv OS.
