I would have preferred exploding, but I'll take it.

<3 Thanks. It's helping that I can start doing some things to help alleviate the dysphoria :) I have things to look forward to for now.
Same age here and similar timeline. I'm still figuring things out. I'm a remote worker so I can hide from my job in a lot of ways, but I'm not sure how it'll impact my career. Feel free to checkout the /c/TransLater community as well! I'm not out to my parents or siblings - only my cis wife. I don't think I'll be coming out to anyone anytime soon because my family trends quite conservative.
I'm excited on your behalf!
Corn? No. Corn nuts? Absolutely, sign me up.
Are there any shows you watch that are made and broadcast only in Greenland that you would recommend to an American?

Parks? Gross. I like parking lots.
The most generous assumption is that they use statistics to determine correlations like this (e.g., deleted selfies resulted in a high CTR for beauty ads so they made that a part of their algo). The least generous interpretation is exactly what you're thinking: an asshole came up with it because it's logical and effective.
Either way, ethics needs to be a bigger part of the programmers education. And we, as a society, need to make algorithms more transparent (at least social media algorithms). Reddit's trending algorithm used to be open source during the good ole days.
Totally agree. Plastic is useful. It's great for medical, sterilized, environments. It's great for emergencies. It's terrible for almost everything else.
If you'd like to read a relevant anecdote about plastics, please continue:
I'm currently struggling with the plastic industry on my keyboards right now. I have a 2016 Macbook Pro, but the scissor mechanism on my key broke on the board (not the key). In order to replace the keyboard, I'd have to spend $200-$400 on it. So, it's basically only good for recycling for parts now since the value of the Macbook Pro 2016 is basically the cost of the keyboard replacement. Someday, I might use it for just the hardware (e.g., on a docking station), but I want a laptop for - you know - walking around.
Instead, I "rescued" a Lenovo Thinkpad from eBay for $60. Unfortunately, the scissor mechanism on the same key broke last night. I got the laptop yesterday afternoon! But at least I can replace the whole keyboard myself for $30 so I guess I'll have a working laptop by Saturday night. Assuming no other plastic things break.
Anyways, my point is that plastic - especially plastic with a short lifetime - sucks. They should just use teeny metal bits for the scissor mechanism. Give my laptop keyboards some umph and durability. Stop building things that inevitable (apparently) will break!
