Interesting fact, this is one area where the USA and Europe have a very large cultural difference. In Europe, people are themselves at work, they don’t have a work persona like in the USA.

You can’t learn C++. Some parts of it maybe.
- Comment on Java at 30: How a language designed for a failed gadget became a global powerhouse 6 days ago:
Not true. They use the same model, executing compiled bytecode. It just feels like directly running a script because Python compiles it to bytecode on the fly, and because it is embarrassingly slow.

C++ is a monster. I’d suggest C instead to learn about these basic ideas.

Kotlin is now the language of choice for Android.

Oh right. My mistake. I guess when it comes to art then anything that isn’t obviously a child is technically legal, if distasteful and morally more than questionable. At least that is the legal situation in most countries.
My objective is the minimisation of harm. If someone uses artwork and that means that they will never touch an underage person then that is a good thing even though I may not like it.

Adults. Where I am from the word adult only has one meaning. An adult is a person of 18 years of age at the very least.
You said “mature looking” for which a 16 year old person might qualify depending on the exact interpretation which is not ok. It doesn’t matter what they look like, it matters whether they are an adult or not. Going for looks reminds me of creeps going “he/she is so mature for his/her age”. That is not ok.
- Comment on how do I stop being a sucker for alcoholic stuff on sale? 1 week ago:
Try putting the 6 pack in the cellar or attic and only one in the fridge. That way you only see the one. After having drank that one it will annoy you to climb stairs to get another room temperature one so you won’t.
You might also consider seeking professional help. You aren’t an alcoholic, but you will be if you keep this up. Alcohol is a terrible drug and one of the worst possible addictions to have. It’s like heroin, but worse because unlike heroin it’s available everywhere all the time, so staying sober is so much harder.
In my country there is a supermarket chain that doesn’t sell alcohol at all (nor cigarettes). If you jhae something like that then maybe go shopping there to reduce the temptation.

Or how about just adults.
- Comment on How are Americans so outgoing and extroverted and how can I become the same? 2 weeks ago:
“Americans” is a stupidly large and diverse population to say anything meaningful about.
That’s true! OP should’ve specified US-americans, not all Americans.

No one I know does this. What a weird thing to do.

In the USA, rich people are quite obviously above the law, so no, I don’t think he will.

No you won’t. You have no idea how utterly inhumane US prisons are.

And if they did cut taxes, they didn’t cut them enough! In fact, the state should just pay them!
Wait what? They already do that? With walmart?
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 3 weeks ago:
It’s mostly software, but somehow no one calls it that. It’s weird.

Thank you for the correction! I remembered incorrectly.

They have, and they could again
- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 4 weeks ago:
Not necessarily. A 40 tonne lorry damages the motorway as much as 1000 passenger cars. It will lead to the state having to renew the road surfaces every few years. Rails don’t have that problem, they’ll happily take 100 tonnes for decades.

Yes, I am aware that this is the prevalent misconception in the USA. If you spoke more than one language you’d quickly realise this is not the case in the rest of the world. For example, your demonym in Spanish is Estadounidense, which means Unitedstatesian. In German it is US-Amerikaner, the meaning of which you can probably understand.

America is a continent with 30 countries on it. Only one out of these 30 has deemed it a good idea to elect an orange felon as their president. It is called the USA.
