I don’t care if it is this particular situation, regardless of gender. Not even a little bit. I hope for worse.

I’m a fire wizard??

The laser ones? My understanding was that it was a 15 minute procedure.

…what?

I work in telecom, so no win there unless my family is ready to be homeless.

My team was just handed a Java 1.2 codebase, we are deploying it (mostly as is) to production next week.

The amount of time and skill it takes to write excellent and accessible documentation is just not reasonable for most developers, unless you have dedicated technical writers or it’s a personal project without true deadlines.

It’s okay to find out new things about yourself. 🙂

I was just responding to your statement about “people who dont know jack about psychology”, so that we could have a more informed discussion. 🙂

Listen, I have two degrees. The first is a B.S. in Psychology with a Neuroscience emphasis, and the other is a B.A. in Cognitive Science. And anecdotally, I also have two children. I only state that so we can skip past all the talk of “bigotry”, and “stupid and annoying” generalizations. It doesn’t matter that we can’t compare to children 50 years ago, if we acknowledge that “x” has an impact on children and that “y%” of children are exposed to “x”, isn’t the outcome the same?

I’m a little confused why you don’t think there have been journaled studies on the differences between children with access to technology and those without. Some examples are impoverished communities and countries and people in strict religious sects. TV, radio, books, they have all had an impact on they way brains develop and process information. Biologically no, if you pluck a newborn and place them in North Sentinel Island, they will adapt perfectly. But that’s the thing, the human mind is meant to adapt to its surroundings. The surrounding of the majority of children today is being absolutely bombarded with distractions, and it has a measurable affect on behavior across the board.

And that is equally true.

The internet has drastically and measurably changed the behavior and attention span of children.

I’m happy you had a better childhood than most

Hey, so, absolutely fuck you. Thanks.

Does it have the cups so its not actually touching your eyes? What material is it made of? I’m asking because I live in Jamaica and have never had that problem.

Sleep masks are better than not being able to see shit outside when going home from work.

I just wanted to add it to my resume for a pay raise… it’s a nonprofit university and completely online, so the toxic networking aspect has been minimal thus far.

Jesus Christ… I’ve been a principal software engineer for 6 years now and my workplace is paying for a free MBA… should I just quit and say no thanks???

I think that falls into the “shnackered” category
