This is why people say Americans are morons, because they elect shitheads like this.

Can’t wait to see what these fuckheads have in store for America, and the rest of the world. Plus, Canada is getting it’s own version of Trump next year, so that’s incredible too.

What wonderful times we live in.

I laughed way too hard at this lmao

No, it’s going to get worse with the Trump administration.

It’s going to be a hell of a long 4 years, for America and the rest of the world. Damn.

I mean, they are located in Japan, so it’s not like Yakuza don’t exist (though to be fair Yakuza don’t really target foreigners).

That’s true, but that wasn’t my point. My point was that the majority of the population voted for someone who does have white-supremacist ideals - whereas Biden and Kamala do not.

America is a white-supremacist country.

I know that sounds controversial, but that’s the ideals of the president elect of the country, who won the popularity vote.

We are truly living in dark times.

Fuck yeah, I love tactical controls. There’s just something nice about something physical you can feel and manipulate.

There are dozens of us!

I think they call it “female-presenting”, so if it looks like female nipples to them, then they ban it.

Instagram is stupid anyway.

I’m pretty sure they laid off a lot of their QA team before and didn’t replace them since then.

I’d word it more like “Sorry I don’t feel comfortable discussing my personal life at work”, that way it takes the onus off of the person and keeps it neutral.

Maybe that’s just me though, I haven’t worked in an office in 4 years.

YouTube/Google and hiding data from the end-user, name a better duo.

UX is very difficult, unfortunately, especially for open-source projects where the contributors are usually programmers and not so much UX/product managers.

I think I’ve probably only ever been blacklisted once in my entire career, and it’s because I looked up the reviews of a company I applied to and they had some very concerning stuff so I just ghosted them completely and never answered their calls after we had already begun to play a bit of phone tag prior to that trying to arrange an interview.

In my defense, they took a good while to reply to my application and they never sent any emails just phone calls, which it’s like, come on I’m a developer you know I don’t want to sit on the phone all day like I’m a sales person or something, send an email to schedule an interview like every other company instead of just spamming phone calls lol

Agreed though, eventually they will forget, it just needs enough time, and maybe you’d not even want to work there.

Sounds like you’re doing well then. I do the same with contributing to FOSS (and I maintain a couple FOSS projects) and I teach younger devs at work, and have a blog (technically two), so I’m in the same boat.

Blacklists are heavily overrated and exaggerated, I’d say there’s no chance you’re on a blacklist. Hell, if you interview with them 3 years later, it’s entirely possible they have no clue who you are and end up hiring you - I’ve had literally that exact scenario happen. Tons of companies allow you to re-apply within 6 months of interviewing, let alone 12 months or longer.

The only way you’d end up on a blacklist is if you accidentally step on the owners dog during the interview or something like that.

Not being able to pass anything on - my knowledge and experience

I know this may sound like satire but you can write a blog and share your knowledge and experiences. It may seem weird at first, but it’s an actual option, and people could organically come across your blog, especially if you use the right keywords that they’re looking for.
