Feel free to go ahead. I think it's presumptuous to show up on your first day and rather than look around and get a vibe for something, immediately call out things you dislike. Call me old fashioned, but that's rude.

Why is everything in new trek always exploding

As soon as your engineering company starts taking advice from business instead of engineers, you've lost. See also - Boeing.

If you vibe coded it, 300/hr

Yup, exactly what happens. Thinking that a smart classy woman could be successful breaks their world view. It literally breaks their personality, they cannot resolve it in their head they are so solidified. So it is literally more acceptable that they must be men. If not, it would force them into a confrontation with themselves that would seriously break them.

My dad did it with Michelle Obama. Couldn't handle a strong elegant black woman with so much respect.

It's a big thing with why they latch onto conspiracy theories, they give their brains an exit. It doesn't matter that it's complete hogwash, it allows them to keep their beliefs.

15 minute cities were a good example, that changing our cities to be more walkable and bikeable (which is proven to make a city healthier both physically and economically at the expense that you might have to park a block away from your destination) actually was a conspiracy to trap people inside their neighborhoods who are not allowed to leave. It's absolute insanity to think that way, but to think anything else would mean they have to actually confront their own beliefs

To be clear this is mostly subconscious, they aren't actively doing it, but usually more it's a built in defense mechanism.

What, you mean like a game you only buy once and just play online for free after that? Why would anyone want that?

That honestly looks pretty good, I'll have to check it out

There is the standard AI hate, my comment isn't about that.

I think AI has an actual place in weather - but in the prediction of weather. AI models using info and patterns we can't see on top of modern meteorology is amazing and I'm happy to see that happening.

This, this is just idiotic corporate pushes of "Put more AI in things". I don't need it to drain my battery to summarize the weather. I can see a forecast for the day and know what it means, I've been doing that for decades now. It's more performative for investors than useful for me.

If you are being serious, and I'm pretty dang skeptical, then you joined at a time where there have been a lot of lame trolling attempts on the Ask communities, and I would hold off asking controversial questions for a while, we're all on high alert from them. So, if you truly are, welcome, glad to have you, but that's why you're insta-downvoted right now.

Fully agree. In a civilized modern country the government would own the rails (because, I mean obviously it would) and operators would put out timetables and requests for trains - all managed by the government. Just like the UK and most other countries, the government is in charge of maintaining the rails, keeping them safe, and expansion, while the operators do what they do best - they manage their schedules and try to squeeze the most profit out of it.

It's a win-win, private industry doesn't have to worry about safety or maintenance beyond their own vehicles, they work with the government on scheduling, and passenger rail would get a resurgence because adding new train lines and stops would just be a matter of starting a new operator.

If you thought of a new commuter line that you think would benefit a region, it wouldn't be trying to convince Amtrak to do it - you could literally raise the money and start your own operator, lease some vehicles, and then literally just start running your train line operated on government tracks. Just as the semis do on the interstate system, just like airlines do.

God what is with the low-effort troll/rage-bait attempts here. We all see you just joined to post this

Downvote and move on folks, don't engage.
