  • Guess the difference is what you grew up with and therefore intuitively prefer:

    • allegedly american thinking: This baby sucks X gallons. Let’s see how far I can get with it

    • allegedly non-american thanking: I need to drive roughly X 1/2 hundred kilometers, and that will burn that much fuel.

    Why is the wrong version always the one that is posted.

    The (in my eyes) correct (and iirc original) version is:

    • Git commit
    • Git push
    • Get out*

    *as someone pointed out (and I remember it as well, but thought I rembered it wrong and corrected it, shame on me in this context) the last point may be originally “git out”

    The important parts are paint and maintenance.

    Give a commie block a fresh coat of paint every decade or so and they can look good (though I just don’t like flat roofs. But that’s personal taste.)

    But while a somewhat run down european style house can still have some charme for longer (guess I’m biased here) a run down commie block in gray and with cracks in the facade will quickly start to look depressing.

    And as they are often chosen for cost reasons inside capitalistic environments, they are often neglected.

    So, the problem is not commie blocks, but how they are maintained. And as often we tend to search for the extreme examples if we (dis)like something.

    Tip for people without urgency for a new job.

    In your application call (not the letter!), make it clear that you are neurodivergent. Make it clear that you can be brilliant if you can do things the way you need to. Make it clear that it can backfire badly if they expect that you can be handled “by the book”. Make sure your future team knows this. And try to get to know the whole team first in a 1-2h call.

    In many cases they will reject you on this basis. But there are a few, if rare, companies that will accept that. And these were the best jobs I had. Because the people know what to expect, and especially know what to NOT expect.

    (May won’t work for all Jobs. I’m in IT, so neurodivergent people aren’t that uncommon. Maybe other fields look drastically different)



  • To be fair it could maybe be counted under unnatural variations.

    He is styling it in a way that is not typical for the society he actively participates in.


    (second part not necessarily connected to your comment anymore)

    But I think it’s stupid to ban hair styles anyway. I often had some classmates with weird hairstyles and guess what, didn’t distract me from school.

    In my opinion the dresscodes for school should be:

    • cover your genitals generously, ass and boobies (regardless of gender. I think there isn’t place for shirtless guys in school outside of the gym). In general that means pants/dress/skirt and a shirt/top, but I wouldn’t care if they wear a toga or whatever.
    • don’t wear extreme political symbols or other obviously widespread offensive symbols (e.g. a swastika)
    • unless absolutely required by your religion, or physical reasons like a burnt face, never wear anything that covers your face. (medical masks in case of illness or pandemics excluded)

    And that should be it (this list includes my limitations on hair styles and tattoos as well)
