I think there’s some truth to being afraid to give up. But I can’t see myself in any other industry, and I am proud of my work whenever I see it in production/being used irl. So that makes me think I’d always enjoy being involved with building stuff in some way.

In response to your last question, it might be both. I think my current job is a push factor, and the new field is a pull factor. As other commenters have rightly pointed out, I’m not enjoying my job. I don’t know if that means it’s wrong to recognise the signs that I might not be as motivated as I should be, though.

What else do you think would be helpful to know?

All great advice, but I’m curious why you say you should leave on decent terms? As long as you don’t get fired, what’s wrong with being candid in an exit interview and potentially ruffling feathers by saying what you couldn’t before?

There is a long, bloody history of Islamic extremism throughout Europe

All of the attacks you listed happened within a 15 year timeframe. Which is not coincidentally the War on Terror timeframe. The discrimination is a lot older and the history of Islamic-Europe relations is a lot more nuanced than this. Far more relevant is the growing Far-right sentiment and anti-immigrant rhetoric across Europe.

So this is what Lemmy is doing now? “Why is there hatred of Muslims? Because they’re terrorists of frequent terror attacks.”

Maybe you had all these terror attacks because you already had large groups of disaffected young men who didn’t feel like local society had anything for them and then became radicalised?

In France, Muslims are half as likely to get a callback for a job than Christians with the same credentials.. So people already hated them. The terrorist attacks are just the latest excuse.

The most mildly infuriating thing about this post is a parent not letting a child do their own work because they would do it slowly. I’ve read all the responses, clearly OP is not willing to reflect on what others are telling him. I just feel sorry for the child whose peers are getting practice in basic life skills that she won’t have the opportunity to because her dad thinks he knows better than her teachers and the curriculum. His own ego is so wrapped up in his child writing a good essay and showing ‘critical thinking’ that he’s not letting her do her own work. He admits to cheating. Just a wretched situation that I hope turns around when another adult steps in or his child gets old enough to tell him to back off.

That was my sense too. OP isn’t letting his kid learn the hard lessons for themselves.

Also what kind of an excuse is it to say she sucks at typing? With practice she will improve, so let her do her own homework

Another Elon must be playing 4d chess comment. It’s not that his PR team tricked nerds and later popular culture into thinking he’s a revolutionary Iron Man smart boy, it’s that he’s playing a character. It’s satire.

I’ve gotten so used to pausing podcasts that I have tried to pause people who are rambling on the phone

I have a small, high DPI, laptop screen (<14") and I haven’t been able to get all or even most of the software I use to scale properly. It always looks weird and eye strain is a real worry for me, so until this problem is solved I’ll be a casual
