- Comment on Stack overflow is almost dead 5 weeks ago:
I use it to bounce ideas around with or get it to direct me in the right direction if I am stumped for further research, but it will be a cold day in Hell before I have it write more than the most gruntiest of grunt boilerplate code. It just can’t do it to a useful standard without a lot of oversight.
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 1 month ago:
Where I live marriage is pretty close to being entirely symbolic. Not entirely, of course. It gives some legal rights concerning inheritance and rights if one partner becomes sick and you need power of attorney, but for a couple of 20-somethings nothing that registered cohabitation wouldn’t also provide.
People still get married. It’s a symbolic gesture, it means something to the couple and to society as a symbol of love and mutual commitment. It is just an expected step somewhere along the line.
The point, as you mention, is whatever you want the point of marriage to be.
