  • I looked into immigrating to NZ before they changed the immigration rules a couple years ago but couldn't find a job that matched that was hiring foreigners. I would be happy to move there and continue working my current job remotely, but it didn't look like that was an option.

  • Would you consider purple a warm blue or a cool red?
  • I consider it not a real color, just a sick joke our brains play on us. I also think it's an ugly color though, and hate that so many modern applications use it as a main color and don't allow retheming to something pleasant like blue or green.

  • Crowdstrike Cockup
  • Best in class should be questionable now when they're the sole direct cause of a worse global outage than any group of determined black hats ever has managed. If they're considered best in class, the whole class needs to be held back to repeat the grade.

  • Americans can no longer afford a summer vacation
  • My family never could. I couldn't myself until I was around 30, single with no kids. I believe it's gotten much worse for families that are in that same socioeconomic class, especially those who have kids to raise.

    What's the worst invention of the 21st century?
  • A cast iron skillet. If you use it regularly the seasoning will be so good that it's as functional as any PTFE nonstick pan, you can use metal cooking utensils on it instead of having to get plastic/silicone stuff (for PTFE), and it serves many purposes from stove top to oven. If you can find a "vintage" one at a yard sale from when they used to hand polish them smooth instead of pre-seasoning them with a rough texture, even better. When I bought a small Lodge one years ago, I used a grinder and sanding discs to polish off the factory textured seasoning and re-seasoned it myself, which worked a charm! If you go that route, I recommend doing it outside, because the amount of metal dust that it stirs up is impressive (and magnetic, so an absolute mess to clean up).

  • Why in 2024 do people still believe in religion? (serious)
  • God existing would absolutely place all responsibility upon God, not on its creation for doing only what it was created and constrained to do by that God. Every "decision" would require that God to allow it, making that God responsible.

  • AOC backs Hunter Biden verdict and says its proof Dems are ‘willing to accept when our justice system works’
  • I assumed you were getting downvoted initially for the disingenuous "both sides" rhetoric which is a non-point that has been gone over in detail here ad nauseum, and then subsequently because you doubled down by implying if people downvoted your first point, it means they think politicians have their best interests in mind. I don't think anyone believes that, so it kind of reads like you're tilting at windmills.

  • What jobs were you horrified to learn are done by people with little to no experience or training?
  • Licensed Clinical Social Workers are a dime a dozen, and while there are some excellent ones, they're diamonds in a very abrasive rough. I have had mixed luck with PhD psychologists as well. Engineers and psychologists with PhDs were the first people I met who made me realize a PhD indicates someone is persistent, but not necessarily smart.

    Do you organize the order of your groceries in the checkout line?

    I'm just wondering what the title asks: do you organize your groceries in the order you will check them out, if doing self-checkout, or arrange them on the belt/counter in a standard checkout line, in the hope that they'll be bagged in a specific way?

    I didn't know there was any other way people do it, but just learned some people prefer to checkout/bag without pre-arranging things. I'm kind of curious to see what's more common, or if there's some other options I haven't considered?
