I stopped posting my kids on social media. I don't think it's fair to them to create an online presence without their informed consent.

This is terrible advice.

OP needs to set boundaries in a paper traceable way after establishing then in person (an email of "dear boss lady, I want to eat lunch alone, kthxbye"), and track violations of those boundaries (dear boss lady, today you sat with me at lunch after I asked you not to, please explain why). (Obviously be more professional).

Then after a few violations, OP can go to HR because suddenly the boss lady is starting the fire; there is a clear history of personal boundaries not being maintained, leading to a hostile work environment.

This only doesn't work when the company is like 5 people and HR is your boss's cousin or whatever.

I've never had an original thought in my life

A French embassy built in 1841 when the territory was its own country. It's now a 5 minute walk to the nearest Wendy's from there.

I started using Python ~15 years ago. I didn't go to school for CS.

Compared to using literally anything else at the time as a beginner, pip was the best thing out there that I could finally understand for getting third party code to work with my stuff, without copy paste... on Windows.

When I tried Linux, package managers and make were pretty cool for doing C/C++ work.

Despite all that, us "regular" engineers were consigned to Windows.

We either had to use VBA or a runtime that didn't need to be installed.

I legitimately want to be cremated by the sun after I die. Doesn't matter how long it takes.

Downloading a movie only to find it was the pain Olympics or a cartel/terrorist beheading was also fun

Yeah let's ignore the fact that it loses 70% of its strength at like 800 F, that fact invalidates my meme catchphrase!

Get a timer controlled power outlet and hook a Hitachi magic wand to it. Place the wand under your pillow. The vibration is super intense and gets uncomfortable at the highest setting. Bonus points you can wake and bate since you have a massager handy.

I have to do the same thing but my natural response isn't to attack others based on physical traits or religious beliefs. My natural response is to figure out who's hoarding the most resources and convince them it's in their best interest to share lest others take a more violent approach at a more desperate time.

Do you think zero bills have been proposed? They all run into the Republican senate filibuster.

I'm invested because higher adoption of my preferred platform causes prices of said platform to drop, making the platform economically attractive to develop for.

Fewer users causes less effort to go into the platform by larger corporations due to lower revenue streams, diminishing updates and feature count over time.

Eventually, users leave due to pain points not being addressed. Shrinking user bases causes independent developer talent to focus on other platforms since the economics no longer work in the marginal case.

The shrinking independent developer contributions to the ecosystem make the required effort to develop for it that much higher, since the tools and apps that would have been built weren't.

Higher development costs slow down feature pacing, due to the increased effort needed to substitute the efforts of missing ecosystem developers.

Lack of feature cadence drives users to other platforms, shrinking the user base, bringing us back to step 1.
