@NoMad yeah but you're only focusing on ethnic discrimination 🤷🏾

@NoMad I never said anything about your ethnicity or anything, I asked you, and you just ignored it.

I don't see myself as a minority, other people do. I don't need pity. I'm not a charity.

My life has grown me different from you, if I'm down I pick myself up. I know full well when the shit hits the fan, there's only one person who's guaranteed to get hit with the spray.

When police jump out on me, it's only me that is there, at that moment, to deal with it.

And that poem just comes across as "if I don't help people, then maybe people won't help me".

It's all good you wanna help people, my issue is your fixation with "minority groups" rather than just injustice against people. Doesn't matter who you are, discrimination is discrimination and can happen to anyone, being everyone's hero, not a hero for a specific group of people you feel sorry for

@NoMad lol no one asked you for protection, I don't see why you have so much power that you can protect me more than I can protect myself.

You can't even seeeee discrimination at work these days unless someone tells you. Like the others have said, it looks normal, until you're in the situation and have lived through it, it's just different. Most people don't even realise they're discriminating, it's just who they are, it's not intentional, is just natural for them.

I still don't understand why you're only focused on discrimination against ethnic groups when people get discriminated against for all kinds of things. Things they eat, the weight they have, the clothes they wear, the sound of their voice.

Either your aim is for equality across the board or you're just trying to make yourself feel good

@Fast-Nop @Lyym yeah I don't disagree with that but this stuff happened in comparison to other people who started the same time, done less, got paid more.

I'm building your entire GDPR database, processing, reports providing it for a mobile app but the guy merging two databases of 6 tables each, can take 8 months and get a raise. When he broke the entire payroll system, who fixed it?

The CEO at one of those places asked me what I done at the company like they're not still using all my shit that I built to this day.

Its so hard to describe discrimination because on paper it can look like anything but I can guarantee you, discrimination is not my first point of call for problems in my life but when you're constantly being treated a certain way at certain places, it's hard to ignore.

These lot used to just find things randomly to shout at me about. "No you can't listen to music" but what about those lot..in the team...with big headphones. No, YOU can't listen to music 🙄 ok

@NoMad so being the best person in the team and getting paid the least isn't discrimination? Working for two years just for them to hire new people on more money than me? You ever been told, you can only get a small pay increase even tho we brought you in for support but now you're handling our entire migration project for all our clients, fuck without you, they'd still be taking a day per migration, instead of doing 10 a day, but we won't pay you and you got 24 hours to decide if you wanna stay.

How about, being a contractor and being told "we don't want to pay you the market rate or what you're worth or the fact you've reduced the amount, how about we pay you less than any other job and if you do a good job we'll give you a bonus"?

How about helping anyone who asks, sacrificing time out my day to make others jobs easier just for your manager and CEO to say that you're arrogant AFTER you've left the company.

I mean, you want more? Cos I can keep going, oh the way I can keep going

@NoMad lol....I can't even explain the ignorance. I'm done...this is ridiculous. You're really telling me I've been a majority, that is insaaaaannnnneee. You have no idea what discrimination is, you don't even knooooo how much discrimination happens that someone like you can't see.

When I used to go out clubbing with work, that would be their revelation, you ain't never been told you can't go in because it's not your type of music, or you ain't wearing shirt shoes and trousers, WHEN YOU ARE! Nah you're insane. You ain't never been jumped by bouncers in the toilet. Nah piss off, care about minorities? No, you only care about yourself and being about to go to sleep at night.

I only pray that you'll be enlightened in the future cos the discrimination you think you're fighting against is much more complex than you boil it down to.

Imagine, you say you care about minorities, then tell me, a minority, that I'm a majority cos I don't fit in your little fictional mould. DPMO

@NoMad I don't understand being discriminated against....please tell me more about my life 🙄.

And no I don't give a fuck if you're a minority. EVERYONE IS FUCKING UNIQUE. I care for all, everyone's culture, traditions, everyone has stuff, regardless if you're a minority. Why you so focused on minority traditions?

You will obviously never understand how offensive your stance like you have ANY understanding of the struggle.

Anyone can be discriminated against, why the fuck you focused on minorities. I think you're trying so hard to not be racist you don't realise the the parallels to a racist in your actions.

@NoMad I don't know what world you live in where you believe that this would go how you think.

I care about minorities? We're not fucking endangered species, we don't need you to protect us, the fuck...why can't you just care about discrimination in the office? Why is it only minorities?

They should be transparent with you? About what? You're asking the most flaky questions and expecting a solid response? Seriously what answer is someone going to say to you "no we don't have problems". Or you looking to hear "Oh no, we love minorities, we even have minority day, you know, to give them something special and make them feel wanted".

Seriously, get off your high horse. Are you even a minority group? Most likely not cos you wouldn't ask this. I have to question the whole mentality on you to champion a situation you don't even understand smh

I don't know what magical job you believe exists out there but yeah...I'll be waiting for your rants on life.......

New to python, building cloud ETL, trying to come to terms with packaging and requirements.txt etc cos want to do things...right (not like my predecessor but that is a rant for another day)

Browse devrant, angel appears, bestows on me virtualenv and poetry.

I mean, thanks 😉. Poetry looks 🔥

@bittersweet not all heroes wear capes

@NoMad I mean, if you are a white person asking "have you had any problems with minorities?"...that is very suspicious, regardless of what your intentions are.

Secondly, I highly doubt that any one would be openly racist, people in my work life haven't been directly racist but is obvious from my perspective that there's a rule for some and a rule for others. Some places are awesome, other places, you just gotta be prepared for the discrepancies and persevere.

Thirdly, if you're white and you ask that, and they think "hey their one of us" and they're racist you won't work there. If they're not racist they'll think "why is this person asking that...sus" they won't hire you.

@NoMad as an ethnic minority,.I really want to know, what kind of answer would you wanna hear from number 2? Or what kind of answer would you not? Or what kind of things you think they'd say that would reveal anything.

Surely they would just say no. I'm assuming you're a minority group otherwise they could consider it racist

LinkedIn Posts - Facebook for the self entitled. The bullshit on LinkedIn is mind boggling....some from people I know smh.

"Oh wow that was a play"

Then hit with a subject change "was it hard remembering your lines?"

@kamen gotta love those obscure commands. Back in the days of msn and xp, made a few people shutdown their computer with Win, U, U....good times.

When you could trick someone that doing that would make Bill Gates pay you....how the human race as a whole has not progressed since lol

Exact comment you expect from someone who is a multitude of Big C's....that end with T..... 🙄

@Sabyasachi you should appreciate the last few paragraphs and let us know if you still agree lool

@mr-user clearly the solution is to just get a sexy rubber duck, eye candy and problem solving

@NoMad oh that's the reason, thought was more like this type of...motivation 😏

Hahaha amazing, there's even LingWings.com (checked the company out on DueDil and found this one haha).

It's like a modern day MySpace page 😂

@wowotek I like that set up, people don't appreciate the productivity increase then diminishing returns but addictive lure of the ultimate monitor fortress.

I understand your struggle and salute your progress.

MonitorMafia (no hashtag lol)

@xzvf hahaha I feel they're geniuses that had the great idea that they could save time by printing off their webpage 😂😂

@Awlex tbh, I don't know if I would have realised without your comment 😅

@R1100 hahaha doh, obviously hahaha. My bad lol.

And tbh, brute force isn't any more hacking than kicking doors down is lockpicking 😂

@Mitiko huh? How you try without smoking? You mean taste? Cos that's a different word completely lool

Bf? Or Bt? And not kali? (Curiosity, not expert lol)

❤ Trojan.exe haha

Experience in job descriptions are a joke. Only there cos people haven't figured out how to write "idiots need not apply" on an advert.

If your CV clearly shows you can do the job and you got some evidence to back it up, apply regardless and you'll be surprised who gets back. My second job needed 3 - 5 years experience...I had 6 months lol.

The thing with no experience is like no credit, there's no evidence to back up your claims. But side projects, random things related, anything that proves your capabilities all can go a long way if you advertise them properly.

Hahaha I feel you completely. When I go to work, I usually replace buy with "take monitors that no ones using, care about, don't need cos I see it's always your wallpaper".

Then become robin hood and take for the team. One job, got like 10 monitors for the team through various means 😂😂.

#DevMonitorsMatter

@import-fun curiosity, why not win 10 with win 7 theme? I got my own reasons for preferring win 7 (and win 10 sometimes), curious of yours 😀

@M1sf3t hahaha yeah...it's crazy what sleep deprivation can take you.

It's not a world for the faint hearted lol
