Lee Harvey Oswald was pretty much American's most hated man when they found out he shot Kennedy. I'm absolutely not saying anyone should try to shoot Trump, but I guess if someone were to do it, they would likely gain Mangione-type fame.

Nothing. But that kid used it inside a coworking space.

I'm an old fuck and I started to code in the late 80s. Fast forward 30 years, I once had to work at a WeWork. One day, directly outside of my small office space, I swear to god, a fucking hipster kid with a Macbook under his arm practiced skateboard moves. That was the exact moment I started hating working in IT. It's also what I think every Javascript coder looks and acts like.

As much as it pains me to admit you're right, you appear to have hit the nail on the head.

I believe there's a much broader spectrum as straight, gay, bi. I was never sure where I belong on this scala.

Like, I thought I was straight during my entire teens. Sometime in the early 2000s, I discovered the joys of online porn, and then found that the guys in porn sometimes seemed more interesting to me than they should. But having sex with a guy? No way. I thought.

So I spent my life, a below average looking guy, starved for sex for a long time, except the occasional awkward and underwhelming experience with humans of the female persuasion. Smoking a lot of weed to fill the internal void. One day, met a fellow weed smoker online. Lived nearby, gamer. Knew where to get good weed. After a couple of weeks we met. He told me he was gay. I was like, alright, sure. We played NHL Hockey and smoked a lot of weed. He asked me if he could suck my dick. Stoned as fuck, I said yes. Best blowjob I've ever had. But then, I ghosted him. Why? No idea. Couldn't face the fact that I might be bi? Not sure to this day.

In my late 30s, I got married. And turns out once we were married, my wife turned asexual. So now I'm stuck in a straight life with no joy and no sex, getting closer to 50 every day. Even had to quit smoking weed. Boy, do I regret ghosting that guy.

So to this day, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't turn down a gay guy if an opportunity arose, even though I lean more towards women. I'm just a guy leading a sad existence in the closet and this comment turned out to be a much gloomier confession than I intended it to be when I started typing. Sorry.

In Germany, we have pickled herring too, but this German is happy to admit that Hollandse Nieuwe reigns supreme.

I would probably buy a really nice Pechauer pool cue. Or another premium brand as quality equipment is pretty important for pool players.

It's all computers!

We politely but firmly reject any association with this disgusting little poisonous dwarf. Sincerely, the Germans.

As a European brought up free from any kind faith or religion, it can sometimes be tough to decide which level of religious extremism is worst, that in the US, Israel or the Iran.

I've started working in IT over 20 years ago. In my humble opinion, one of the keys is being specialized on something that not everyone else can do. Become proficient in a certain area - devops, quality assurance, security, whatever.

On top of that, try and acquire a niche skill that makes you the type of employee that's hard to find and replace. For example, banks are really desperate to find Cobol experts because most of those are pensioners now.

I know it's tough, and I wish you had it as easy as I did back in the days, but it's all I can tell you, unfortunately.
