…the UFO was a 30-foot saucer, stuck in the ground partway, but it felt like the inside was the size of a football stadium. When officials tried to pull it out of the ground, a shape started to pull off almost like a slice of pie, so they stopped.

“They had a guy go into it,” Sheehan told Daily Mail. “He got in there, and it was as big as a football stadium. It was freaking him out and started making him feel nauseous, he was so disoriented because it was so gigantic inside… He staggered back out after being in there a couple of minutes, and outside it was four hours later.”

Assume this is true and real for the sake of argument: what would this actually mean? I dont know much about space-time, but this sounds to me as though the UFO in question is merely a portal another another dimension or, (more likely?) a planet/location in a different part of our universe, and that location is closer to a black hole, so time passes more slowly.

I dunno. I’m high AF RN

Ford should resign. He’s either incompetently complicit or knew about the whole thing and is lying his ass off. Fuck that guy.

He is my MPP. I’ve been very impressed with him. I’ve emailed him a few times voicing concerns, and each time he (or somebody from his staff) has addresses my emails, point by point, and have been very open to discussions. While i haven’t agreed with his stance on all points, i have very much appreciated the two way dialog, and the time that was taken to craft the responses (they were not short replies).

My dream is a follow up article titles “Trudeau denounces his own stupid policy.”

My ability to close a door and sit, focus, and develop in silence makes me not only more productive, but also happier. I’ve done some of the best work of my career over these past 3+ years. I used to wear headphones 50+ hours a week, now it’s only when i go for a walk every morning.

Also why he’s running an illegal abortion clinic. Gotta take the good with the bad.

There’s a lot of Canadians i know who don’t respect women, too. They were born here. They’re already part of our mosaic. What’s your solution to that?

You should read the book Radical Candour. It will help you provide critical feedback in a respectful and empathic way. Saying “as a fellow dev…” is not a hall pass to light somebody’s work on fire, crap on their tech stack decisions, and claim your opinion is fact.

Strong opinions are good. I appreciate strong opinions. I have many of my own. And i know you’re excited for this app and that it’s become a daily staple for you so you want it to succeed. But React Native is not a bad technology stack. In its nearly 10 years it has evolved and improved dramatically. Huge apps are written in React Native. I bet you use, or have used, some of them and don’t even know.

Technology is a tool. You can write great software and equally bad software in any language or stack. I’ve used a lot of terrible iOS apps, and I’m sure some of them were written in Swift. A language or tech stack is not inherently bad, and claiming such is not constructive feedback, it’s being an asshole.

Don’t be an asshole.
