Omg, shut the fuck up. Come work a 12 hour shift on a psychiatric floor and get back to me about how “brutal” your job is. Start digging the pits, I’m ready to begin the purge.
“We’ve won the revolution! Now we can abolish punitive incarceration and begin restorative justice with psychiatric workers on the front line!”
Psychiatric workers, already halfway through digging the pits: “Wait, what?”
Listen, if the community consensus is that people like this can be rehabilitated then I’ll obviously go along with it. But I’m gonna keep digging just in case it doesn’t work out.
Coding is a brutal 24/7 job
I’m not saying coding is easy, but it definitely would not make my list of hardest jobs.
Once the computer industry proves to be very lucrative, the capitalist men in charge basically purged all the female programmers that once made up the majority of the workforce and replaces them with men. In fact this is why Britain have no tech industry of note perhaps until today, because when they purged the women they failed to actually replace them with men which just lead the whole thing to collapse.
And now we have these geeks like him or the google guy I could probably knock out with a single punch telling us about how women doesn’t have the constitution for computers. If you fucking hate techbros but doesn’t have a good reason for it yet, then these are some good reason for you.
The UK had a booming tech industry in the 80s, didn’t they? What happened then? Computers like the Amstrad, Acorn, ZX spectrum. Lots of people making homebrew programs and making tiny networks with one another. The article mentions that the British tech industry died by the 1970s due to the lack of specialized women and men. What happened to jump start it in the 80s just for it to collapse again? (genuine questions btw)
You know all those stories about companies started in garages? The garages were still an indication of being from a family that was economically well off. The mid to late 80’s ushered in neoliberalism in full force and began the process of cranking the inequality back up. It was the tail end of a time where capitalists still had to fear the USSR before shifting into its fall followed by the rise of policies from people like Thatcher and Reagan. Combine that with credit card debt and whatnot and I’d bet there’s a pretty good overlay of moderately secure families putting tech into the hands of young hackers and nerds just before you see it all start to crumble. Also the commodification of all that tech IP, the rise of microsoft, ibm, xerox, sun, etc. absolutely put a damper on the hacker culture.
Did they get Plaza Accorded by the Americans like Japan? Or was this purely their own brainworms fucking them over?
The only real history of that I know is that guy Alan Sugar went around buying all the British hardware manufacturers and then ran them into the dirt. Now he’s some idiot billionaire. My intuition is that the British home computing scene was killed because it was too easy for anyone to make their own software and distribute it. You just needed a tape deck, or you could literally send someone the raw text of the program for them to type in. So I guess there might have been problems with proprietary software/hardware getting a foothold in the UK until Apple squeezed its way in. I don’t know about anything like international trade deals that could have killed it.
Lol. Lmao. Coding is one of the easiest jobs in software and this guy thinks it’s hard?
This is why men shouldn’t be in site reliability engineering, they don’t respond well to stress /s
9 month maternity leave
i wish
Truly, the motherhood understander has logged the fuck on. I guess understand why the MRAs complain about a lack of paternity leave when their dumb asses think women get 9 months of paid leave (seemingly confusing pregnancy with postpartum care?)
"Aw c’mon, first you tell me tit bones aren’t real, then i’m supposed to know about this cleetoris thing and now you’re telling me women have a ‘postpratum’ lol
Leftists stop making up feeeeeeemoid body parts challenge go go go" :stupidpol:
Maybe they’ve heard about some of the Scandiniavn countries maternity policies? I know that here in Denmark you get something like 2 months off before the birth and some 40-odd weeks after the birth. When my wife and I had our daughter, my wife was off work from september and back to work sometime in late august. I had like 2 weeks, because my job was non-union at the time and my contract was dogshit, and afterwards I got my current job, where I’ve been for slighly more than a year. I’m also pretty sure that Denmark has the “worst” policy of the Nordics, since Sweden has something like 2 years of parental leave, though that might be an exageration.
