Old guy here. My advice: find something you really like and do that. Doing something you like multiplies by 10 the chance you'll get good at it. You'll have to try out a few things, which might give you the impression you are wasting your time; but it's better to lose 3-4 years finding your way than burning up at 35 because you hate what you do.

Time spend undoing/redoing stuff and delays caused by clients should always be billed, and contracts should address that.

Did you ever stop and think about all the scientific and technical advances made since the invention of personal computers that allow you to send a turd emoji to random strangers?

He's just seeing what Trump and the GOP are planning for the US and hopes he'll be one of the oligarchs at the top in the end.

He doesn't care, he thinks he'll get a presidential pardon after Trump gets elected.

This comment is a great illustration of what's wrong with social media. All communities eventually become echo chambers where no one really cares about respectful discussion, criticism or facts.

(...) you're a racist AND dumb.

To a large extent you're racist because you're dumb.

For the last few months they've traded their dog whistles for blow horns. More and more hatred is being normalized.

A steady stream of bullshit, just like before the 2016 election. Trump won, so it's not surprising they consider this their winning strategy.

The name is just a name. Whatever you call it won't change what people think of it, why people use it, or the fact that it's a social media platform for the brain dead.

Never underestimate how much destruction stupid people with power can cause.

Exactly. In any semi-functional democracy the government isn't some abstract entity you have no power over, and it's not monolithic either (you have municipal, regional and national levels). You vote for the people in it and they represent you.

Deadnaming her would be calling her "Chris Cocker" and ignoring her new name. They are just saying what her identity was before she became Cara Cunningham. Makes it easier to understand the story.
