IDK about "white knight"; I first heard the phrase "dangerous by default" from a black man recounting how he got nervous being on an elevator with a white woman.

"Dangerous by default" is one hell of a thing to internalize 😞

I lived through those times, this is different. The punishment for false hope is the lesson that things can always get worse.

We're cooked because our leaders are pumping the AI bubble while crashing the rest of the economy. When that bubble pops those programmers are going to have to find a job in a nuclear sized crater of where the economy used to be.

When asked why such basic tasks are impractical they will say "just look at how incompetent we are!"

Well now I feel like an asshole for telling my wife it wasn't her fault for being let go.

Kind of feels like all three branches have done that. Congress isn't holding the executive or the courts to account, the court is splitting the power transfer with the executive branch to avoid being made outright irrelevant, and the executive branch is acting like a monarchy.

So what if they are? It would likely be a more genuine exchange than this one.

Don't use social media to gauge public opinion, take a bus and talk to randos instead.

The wait-list for a specialized therapist can be up to 12 months. Compare that to: http://eol.law.dal.ca/?page_id=2472

The wait-list there is 90 days. I guess it's actually just 4 times easier in some situations.
