First I’d check what could get you in legal trouble. You may have insider information since you were selected for implementing it.

Second step is finding someone that is non technical that is not afraid tell you they don’t understand. In my life that would be my mum, maybe my old English teacher. Then explain to them the situation that you want to explain why it’s a bad idea to a non technical and need their help.

First of all you may be right or wrong about the reason. But you can’t really change looking young (other than by sitting around and waiting, which is not very fun). So you’ll get a lot of mileage by coming to terms with what you look like. For your own peace of mind if nothing else.

You can artificially change your looks to a limited degree with makeup. I’m no expert.

Are you putting yourself into positions where it’s socially acceptable and/or easy for men to approach you? Are you looking like you want to be approached? Headphones on while reading in the library makes me think you’ll want me dead if I say hi. Near me at the table at a social gathering it’s rude of me not to introduce myself and attempt some small talk (as long as you’re not talking to your friends already).

So you want to block a data center but you have no reason to be opposed to it?

Giving a minority different treatment will cause resentment in the majority. Anything from a scoff because they don’t get told off for telling a mean joke about you to a lifelong maga supporter if you think you did not get a certain job because of affirmative action.

I don’t think anyone is better off in a more polarised society.

Is it okay to make a joke about keeping queers on a leash during straight events?

Two words: Nintendos lawyers.

Having porn as the background saves you about 9 minutes of deciding what to crank it out to, you can just get started.

Can you name another game that everyone else knows and can show the battle of wits?

You don’t get access to anything you’re not working with and if you do have access and they found out you used it to spy on your kids then you’re probably getting fired.

You have to convince the swing state undecided voters, not new yorkers.

If looks is 10, personality is 10 and smarts is 1 it’s still a 7 average score which is pretty good.

Just have to look out for dangerous combinations with dumb. A stubborn risk taker for example.

At work I’m paid for it. The software is very much specialised and while probably possible to run under Linux it’s just too much of a headache.

I did install Linux on our SVN server though.

They were talking about buying Swedish Gripen instead of US F-35. I’m not sure exactly how far along those plans were.

Unfortunately depending on where you live this may just be reality.

Setting up a website, paying for an admin, bandwidth only to hand money to you makes no sense.

It’s specifically designed to give you the rush of gambling. Dream about winning big, the excitement of doing your analysis deciding who to bet on, you bouncing on your couch when you’re watching, the rush when you get it right.

You would not expect me to build a rollercoaster and then give you money to ride on it?

I’ve used the same pfp which is a photo of myself with a funny mask since 2007.

Need a longer runway.

The warmup takes ages, no matter what I’m doing.

It does not sound like something I’d get into. But if I know the Internet then there is an (unfulfilled or I’ve just not heard of) niche market for that too.

When the battery does not hold long enough. I don’t care enough to put effort into my phone anyway. I pick between the cheaper models at the local store despite work paying for it.

When we had a couch at the old office I used to have a nap in it during the afternoon coffee break.
