Could you trade jobs with someone at your firm who wants to move from programming to management, de facto if not de jure?

Another option, and the option I would take in her situation is cryocide. She could refuse food and water while under the care of a hospice that works with a cryonics organization such as Alcor.

Yes, it would be insane if the house of the Speaker of the House didn't have 24-hour security else the Chinese could plant listening devices and terrorists bombs in the Speaker's home.

What gets you fiercely activated, beyond what you can rationally justify?
Computer problems and being forced to go through call trees to contact some organization. If I'm alone I will scream and swear.

Look into Rapamycin if you want the real "sounds to good to be true". I take both Rapamycin and NAD+ boosters.

I literally could sue you for a trillion dollars for your failure in this post to acknowledge my greatness. Winning a trillion dollar judgement and then actually getting you to pay me this amount would be harder.

We could have a voting system where voting fraud is hard to commit and those who are caught trying face significant punishment. In this system, for example, if we find that 99% of people in several nursing homes voted even though dementia rates in these nursing homes should have made such high voting rates impossible, the FBI and elite media consider figuring out who committed this voting fraud to be a top priority.

No one is mad at Apple because I can say horrible things over my iPhone, nor is anyone bothered that the company that made my pen put in absolutely no safeguards against the pen being used to draw racist art. It could be that Microsoft predicts it won't be held responsible for any racist art its product is used to create.
Nearly everyone dislikes competition and uses every available tool to squash it. It's unsurprising that some artists attempt to use woke politics to stop categories of other artists from competing with them. White people shouldn't make films about Muslims, trans women shouldn't compete in women's sports, China engages in unfair trade practices that cost American jobs, and she stole my boyfriend by being a slut are all related complaints.

One powergirrrrrrl moment where a girl attacked by an animal survives without injury in a situation where she probably shouldn't have.
Warning Spoilers: Who the real father of the king's daughter's children is and appears to be is a key plot point. In the show the real father is white, while the guy who is supposed to be the father is black so it's extremely obvious to everyone what is going on. The king ignoring what is going on makes him either a fool or someone playing a deep game where pretending can make something real if you are the king. While I haven't read the book, someone who has says that in the book both men are white and people infer what is going on from less obvious phenotypical features. Mathematically, the race change makes its 99.99% likely in the show that the kids are bastards but, say, 95% likely in the books and the plot of the show does reflect this extra 4.99% likelihood. The race change also makes it extremely salient to we the viewers that the kids are bastards.

But the race-bait makes a lot of "Strong" sense given plot and the difference between reading and watching.

Ukraine used to be part of the Soviet Union and has lots of highly capable military people. Also, my impression is that the attack was within the capacity of a few people with diving experience who had access to explosives.

Ukraine has to be the number one suspect. Ukraine is at war with Russia and blowing up infrastructure is what you do in war.

The Nazi bombing of Rotterdam likely resulted in the Dutch quickly surrendering.

Yes, that's probably it. Thanks. I feel silly for not realizing this.

When I use YouTube at work I get constantly shown ads, but when I use YouTube at home I'm almost never shown ads. Why the difference? I'm logged into the same account on both.

Yes, although you would expect the most successful firms (like Amazon) to be one ones that have done the best to mitigate principal-agent problems.

“Get a decent career and make money.”- Doesn’t work in a world where women make up the majority of college graduates.
It's better advice than ever if college educated women mostly want to date college educated men. It's women who don't get dating market value from going to college.

As you get older, you become very aware of your own growing fragility.
Tips (perhaps out of date) for dating leftist women while conservative and male: Treat your beliefs like a peacock's tail. Try your best to signal that you can afford to have these beliefs because of your huge evolutionary fitness advantage over other men. Don't show any embarrassment, your goal should be projecting the view that "I know you find my politics abhorrent, but I'm not going to hide my views because I'm confident that if you get to know me you will really want to date me, and if you don't, well, I have lots of options." Being a conservative white man, surprisingly, gives you a real advantage when trying to date a leftist non-white woman because these women are sick of white men trying to date them to prove their anti-racism, and won't think you guilty of this offense.

But Elon is going to care a lot more about Mitch McConnell than Trump's fan base. At a minimum, I suspect Trump stays banned until after the midterms.
You could look for a programmer with relatively weak technical skills but strong people skills.
