> Am I using ping6 wrong?
I'm pretty sure the other end has to be running `pingd` to get a response from ping. Some do, some don't.
I might be wrong but that's always been my understanding.

Well it's probably not natives who'd be moving out there. Think of it as a polite invitation to transplants to go home.

In-branch customer service has gotten super annoying in the last 3 or 4 years. I walk in to do something simple, there's like 8 bankers standing around in suits, doing nothing, and one of them rushes up to me like I just made their day and starts enthusiastically helping me with my simple thing... it's better than a long line and a disinterest in doing their job, but god damn it's creepy.

that's a super regular bar that anyone who's moderately able to program or learn new things should be able to jump over easily. details are important in a technical field.

This for me was the most thought provoking comment on this entire thread. It tends to be the case that when accusations of prejudice are lightly thrown around, slowing down, thinking reasonably, and giving our fellow humans a cursory benefit of the doubt casts a totally different light on the issue. That said:
> I half wish we had a way to completely remove any identity related characteristic from the hiring process and end once and for all any allegations of discrimination. Full on voice scrambling, audio only discussion, and VR in lieu of on-site interviews.
I feel like I could figure out their age and race just from vernacular. Plus that would be ridiculous. I don't want to hire someone who I don't want around the office.

So you just submit your resume to places you'd like to work, even if they're not hiring? Do you even look at job postings? That's interesting...

If it's a state wide plastic bag ban causing this, why is it happening disproportionally in San Diego? That part doesn't make sense to me.

wu_tang_chris | 8 years ago | on: Portugal treats addiction as a disease, not a crime
That "moment of clarity" is literally just accepting that you are an alcoholic. Like, that's all it is.
Normies love to pontificate about the causes of and solutions to addiction, but I never get more than a paragraph in before I find a vacuous statement that highlights how completely the speaker misses the point. It's fucking exhausting.
