  • Japan projects soft power as a place that has fine crafts, allows different ideas to flourish and creates bleeding edge technology. Learning Japanese is seen as a high prestige activity due to that.

    Nevermind that in reality it’s a misogynistic and tradition oriented society that is extremely xenophobic. Cars! Anime! Vidja! Caligraphy!

    Due to the authoritarian CCP, and being a source of the cheapest, lowest quality goods, china does not have that kind of reputation.

    Even though shitloads of electronics, consumer technology manufacturing, and etc are produced in china.

    Both sides of both coins are true. However, the reputation is not the same.







  • I took over a project recently. I asked for updating instructions… as in “once I make changes, how do I push to prod?”

    They gave me instructions on how to update angular and dotnet packages.

    Mother FUCKERS.

    I spent time digging around the code, setting up my dev env, and then I noticed dev and prod had a slight difference.

    “yeah, we gave you the wrong branch”

    Fuck.

    I had to dig around and find out how they started the docker on prod and then I could replace the .dll and restart the container. It was not fun.







  • I think the main problem with most relationships is the myth that “opposite poles get attracted to each other”

    Imma go beyond this.

    The problem with the intergenerational “wisdom” being transferred is that a lot of this shit lost why they were memes worth spreading in the first place. It’s not “opposites attract”, its “marriage and raising a family and creating a good home environment requires a diverse skillset, and being different people allows you to bring that diverse skillset so that you can be self sufficient in your family group and have a degree of personal autonomy due to being able to dedicate yourself to different social groups and activities, while returning to each other and appreciating the time you have together.”

    It came out a little through the generational loss.
