Oh no, I'm the first person who told you this behavior is weird huh. I'm sorry.

It's not an immigration crackdown, they've made it very clear that we in the US are engaged in ethnic cleansing. Really nakedly, quiet part out loud, no dog whistles needed, ethnic cleansing.
Sure, I might even give those people some grace over the people who use it cause they want to be Jared Leto, or one of Jared Leto's sex cult friends in the book.
It's actually still a red flag, unfortunately. The only people who use Grok have a terrible understanding of other people, like the dude in this article. That's part of the problem. Either you're jumping off the same bridge as your weirdo colleagues, you identify with the nudist-cult Martian, or you have such trouble being understood, or understanding neurotypical people, you think you need a new word.
It's like people who use Na'vi, you can make up anything and say it's anything and people who have trouble with reality will identify themselves by using that nonsense in normal conversation. You're never gonna make fetch happen, it's just tedious.
There is no problem with having read the book, there's no problem with liking it. I did both, the first time i read it I thought it was cool. I'm more taking about people who made the nude sex cult book part of their personality enough to use the word grok unironically.
People using the word "grok" has always been a red flag. The people who read stranger in a strange land and identified with it so much they started using the word are fucking weirdos. The book is about a child adopted by Martians who inherited their reality-bending mind powers, comes back to earth as an adult and creates a nudist sex cult. Basically Jared Leto. I'm not joking, that's the book.
It was always elder developers who didn't wear shoes and had trouble with personal space.
Wow, people just immediately proved your point in replies.
It's like looking in a mirror.
Ewww AI slop that had to be fixed by a human in the comments. Thanks for literally fucking nothing.
That's actually a vaporizer, this dude is one of the fathers of modern vaping, like Bob Snodgrass is the father of modern borosilicate glass bongs.
His name is Evert, he invented a glass heater for vaping weed called the Verdamper.
I'm sorry, that's totally fair, I don't mean to sound dickish. They can't hit zero. Australia is a model for how bad invasive cats can get, and the cat is already out of the bag, so to speak. They either target aggressive goals, which are primarily culling mixed with chemical and some limited physical spay/neutering programs. But when you are talking bang for buck, it's really easy to look to culling primarily.
Spay nueter programs are much more expensive and usually donor funded. You gotta do a lot to an animal to even modestly safely remove it's sex organs, especially females. I wouldn't be surprised if they pop up in NZ, privately funded, in addition to the other programs. Desexing is still is the best way to deal with an active colony with a food source, you are right.
That's when you are trying to control the population. These are invasive species, worse than that, invasive predators. Eradication and control are two different things.
Neither of those solves the problem entirely, but an eradication aims to keep the population of invasive species much lower than control. Any amount of invasive predators, especially as effective as feral cats, needs to be controlled.
Feral cats and pet cats are just two different things, like feral pigs and wild pigs. Even pet cats need to be tightly controlled, every bird a pet cat kills is multiplied in aggregate, these things we love are absolutely brutal.

You've moved my opinion on this definitely, I have never been inside that world, but I engage with it all the time because of my work.
Rather than being something strange and wrong, it's just a thing that works, and that's why you guys adopt it. Like rubber duck programming.
