They are responsible for 50% of all abortions in the US. 500K black people executed by black women every year. Where are the riots for all these deaths?<br/><br/>Women have been aborting babies for all of human history too. The scale might be a modern phenomenon, but the act itself is nothing new. Abandoning babies in the wilderness was also a common approach women used before abortion was so clinical and easily available.<br/><br/>I know women who became completely distraught when a pet dog or cat brought a dead mouse to the door. They spent years berating these pets for that one time they killed the defenseless cute little mouse. These same women don’t think anything about their friends and family members aborting babies at will. The fact they aren’t called out on this insane hypocrisy on a regular basis is astounding to me. <br/><br/>Read Genesis with all this in mind and reflect on why the story is structured the way it is.<br/><br/>Quit being pussies and call them out when they try their safety and “think of the children” manipulations. <br/><br/>You want to regulate how many bullets my gun’s magazines can hold? Let’s start by regulating how many dicks your unmarried vagina can accept.

I even occasionally did formal day long classes training them how to use Microsoft Excel and Word. I had to start every class teaching several of them how to use a mouse. A few of those people never really understood how to double-click and many people struggled to navigate menus that were nested just because they lacked the dexterity to move the mouse smoothly enough to open one menu level after the other. <br/><br/>I learned that a nontrivial percentage of people can’t deal with hierarchical UIs of any kind. They couldn’t deal with tree views and hierarchical menus and deeply tabbed UIs. The file system was literally impossible for them to understand or navigate. I would bet there is an IQ threshold here if someone ever chose to study it, but since IQ is a taboo subject I’m sure that would never happen. <br/><br/>Anyway, that decade spent supporting people who hate computers but have to use them for their jobs while I was also learning the craft of software development was the perfect preparation for me. The software I built for my business a decade and a half ago is used for only a few months a year by lots of people who don’t care at all about computers, they just care about getting their jobs done. We don’t use any of the UI/UX paradigms that I spent many frustrating hours watching people struggle to understand. We don’t use toolbars with icons only. Our clickable UI elements have words that describe what they do and they animate in a consistent way that tells users they are clickable so users never have to guess which elements they can click on. We don’t assume people can handle drag and drop. We don’t hide UI behind tabs and we never use hierarchy to hide things from users or to make a UI more compact. The only hierarchy is a result of the natural hierarchy that is inherent to the concepts users are already working with every day, and for those concepts we still flatten the hierarchy and show it to users in a single scrollable view. We paginate those lists if we have to, but we don’t hide details behind hierarchical UI. All menus have only one level. People who can’t handle hierarchy can handle scrolling just fine. We have pages that are several pages long because scrolling doesn’t trip users up but almost all the UI paradigms that are used to avoid scrolling do. Our software has a one to one mapping between concepts they use in the real world to do their jobs. We don’t force them to learn a new way to view the world. We use maps to let them navigate geographically important data in places where the geographical relationship between things matters to them. We use colors to show the priority of things on those maps so they can quickly identify potential problems visually. And when all these strategies still fail and users get stuck, a human answers the phone or email or chat when they reach out to us for help and we walk them through it. Even on holidays, weekends, or at 11pm during their busy few months when they are actually using our software. If they need help, a helpful person is there. Even if it is the tenth time they have asked the same damn question. We charge lots of money and that’s what they are paying us for. <br/><br/>My point: even if you and some of your smartest users can handle something you have created, never assume that everyone will be able to. Some users will never understand some things no matter how much you try to explain them. If you have to design something anyone can use there are a bunch of limitations automatically imposed on your design. <br/><br/>Also, there are some subjects that are too complicated for a huge percentage of the population to understand no matter how or how many times you explain them. There is a percentage of the population that will never understand certain aspects of Bitcoin and there is nothing anyone can do to change that. The very nature of the subject is just beyond lots of people and they will always have to resort to trusting people because they will never be able to verify. 2023-08-12T17:06:26+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrhwdsqnvcfucdcnxk3e3rgex4ju0wdxfpl7cmurffvnm70hlp7qczyqgy48sph75l6lvfjgrrd0e9hv50r7j7ujsjyq066330k7wfkkewjxwlv76 Will there be bread served at the circus? <img src="https://cdn.nostr.build/i/979f62050f6d12df57431c983f07126527ae18a5cf33cf3700d2e90b79a235e8.jpg"> 2023-08-11T14:00:56+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvms4kanpcpp8p5a5cjxprjxkvja96jkrqh82p24u6dq7ztpuw3kczyqgy48sph75l6lvfjgrrd0e9hv50r7j7ujsjyq066330k7wfkkewjddvvzz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfnwas47828ppsnte6ndtha7gd5wjaqlhwa2tz430l5rvvj39ujwgfxna26'>nevent1q…na26</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>👍 2023-08-11T04:16:29+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyvwlcy7hqywed4f3wa8eusnlg0vu8ggecuu9955f6q2ymfh56znczyqgy48sph75l6lvfjgrrd0e9hv50r7j7ujsjyq066330k7wfkkewjmh29gl I didn’t have a clue what point she was trying to make in the Tweet that everyone jumped on, but I didn’t for one minute believe that she was clueless about how bonds work.<br/><br/>But I did find a bunch of new people to flip the BOZO bit on based on their Tweets about that Tweet. <br/><br/>To be fair, I’ve flipped the BOZO bit on most people who comment on macro based on their inability/unwillingness to update their priors in the face of what the Fed has been up to since July ‘21. <img src="https://cdn.nostr.build/i/131d9a6e3f8a2357e88e17f8e0432add35eaeb11543ffcba0dbc5f6ee4322afb.jpg"> 2023-08-11T04:08:57+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9c7y86kvyy6ed3ft0nh7swqkmnjx8fj75dt6hm67qql6j7qkafvszyqgy48sph75l6lvfjgrrd0e9hv50r7j7ujsjyq066330k7wfkkewjelmc5x Rob says he’s been getting a lot of deaf Uber drivers lately.

I used to have a terrible time with RSI in my hands and wrists when using a mouse to navigate IDEs 8+ hours a day. Vim let me work with my fingers on the home row all day and that’s exactly what I needed. I started using Vim about the time I started my business when I was regularly working 100 hours a week. I literally wouldn’t have been able to keep doing that without Vim. The fact that I can still occasionally work 100+ hours in a week like I did this week 15 years later is a testament to just how much Vim has improved my life. <br/><br/>We’re reaching that point in the history of OSS when we will be losing many of the greats more frequently. I hope Bram got to occasionally experience how much of an impact he had on the world and I hope that he felt his contribution was appreciated and that the time he spent working on Vim was worth it. <br/><br/>Rest in Peace Bram. You will be missed. 2023-08-05T17:15:14+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszl0ra6657vz73r07484jdd0hfj8zmtvc6kvk5maftrnw2tksedkgzyqgy48sph75l6lvfjgrrd0e9hv50r7j7ujsjyq066330k7wfkkewj3yc330 Can you spell PPP and ERC?<br/><br/>That latest uptick explains the $30B+ monthly run rate for the Employee Retention Credit scam that Danielle DiMartino Booth has been talking about for quite a while now. <br/><br/> <img src="https://cdn.nostr.build/p/ngKQ.jpg"> 2023-08-04T18:02:00+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstpzm5tyh2gtwn5j6ea40ur236trqjpejvv3uepkh0ly4yvgeenqszyqgy48sph75l6lvfjgrrd0e9hv50r7j7ujsjyq066330k7wfkkewjp2u4ks Whatever it is, it’s interesting to watch this develop.<br/><br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://cdn.nostr.build/p/3vlm.mp4"></video> 2023-08-04T16:44:10+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszu9n80cvt9w796trfytc6lzjy7ryer5rsx9rlghl7vjrh200j36szyqgy48sph75l6lvfjgrrd0e9hv50r7j7ujsjyq066330k7wfkkewjm64nkf He’s far too stupid to handle the attention his dad’s fame granted him.
