beam me up Alfred

manager in code review: WHY NO DOCUMENTATION!!??

sooo…you’re saying I’m right

underarmour and adidas shorts and gym clothes for starters, $20 to $30 per unit this year, i bought some for $5 two years ago

the inflation percentage is for the whole economy but seems low for consumer items like tech and clothing which i’d think is what drives black friday, most of those items are up 100% to 200% which would really make a loss yoy with someone clever trying to promote optimism.

is this some kind of oxymoron, kudos for the creativity though but unless the job is photography I don’t see the relevance

if you become a millionaire with that phrase “aesthetic guidance” let me get 5% of the royalties 😉

well, you will become an expert on what you’re interested on. Reason goes back to the problem of who to believe because is based on facts. When you know all the facts you’ll know what’s reasonable, if you have the knowledge. But who can know all the true facts?

“excuse me, can i have some bbq sauce?”

i don’t believe it’s possible to fully escape illusion, but you can minimize it by learning about the subjects you’re interested in. Still you will always be biased based on what you know and what you want to believe. Approaching the problem from a neutral perspective then reading about from different authors will give you ideas that can help you form an opinion, but again it will always be limited to what you know, it’s natural. So the more you know the better decision you make. I heard a law professor said “i know too much to make a decision, tell me what the end goal is and I’ll get there” meaning there are enough arguments to arrive at any conclusion. good luck.
