    This happens because the connector is at an angle. Since it’s at an angle, the screw presses against the side and jams itself in place. All you have to do is tilt the connector the other direction and the tight screw loosens right up. Easy peasy.

    So two? I can think of way more shitty tech companies without Indian CEOs than with.

    Amazon, Twitter, Reddit, Bandcamp, Facebook, Unity, EA, Tumblr, Activision-Blizzard, Spotify, AirBnB, Uber, Snapchat, Netflix, Zoom, Bytedance, Hulu, Tinder, Epic, FTX, Apple, Tencent, Verizon, Cloudflare.

    I’m honestly having trouble thinking of any other companies than Google and Microsoft. Very much not “most”.


  • From my understanding a social construct is something that is that is formed through an agreement between people in a society as opposed to something that is an objective observation of physical reality. Like for example money is a social construct, because we all agree that it has value and treat it as such, even though objectively a hundred dollar bill is just a piece of cloth and otherwise would only have as much value as any other piece of cloth. Democracy is a social construct, marriage, the calandar, gender norms, fashion, and crime are all social constructs. It doesn’t mean they aren’t “real” things, just that they’re only real because we all collectively agree they’re real.

    If you don’t agree with that definition, I’m curious what you think a social construct is and what things you would believe to be social constructs?

    So from what I can find, you’re right in that it’s not 100% goo, but it’s not really “coordinated small steps either”. It’s a messy fluid process that all sort of happens at once. When caterpillars are inside their chrysalises, they first digest themselves by releasing an enzyme. But this enzyme doesn’t break down everything. Some organs are completely dissolved and completely new ones are grown from the goo, but most only partially, and are moved around remodeled into their butterfly counterparts. As for the entirely new parts, like wings, they’ve actually been inside the caterpillar since before the cocoon as these tiny clumps of cells call imaginal discs, and it’s only during metamorphosis that they begin to develop into their full size organ. It’s really cool, and you should read more about it. I’m no expert, so I’m sure I explained it badly, but here’s some good links.
