  • Well that’s a massive incorrect comparison lmao.

    Adults have complete agency over themselves and their lives. Babies do not.

    The idea of an adult retiring and no longer contributing to the workforce has only existed for the last 150 or so years of humanity in general.

    And even then, that adult has a literal lifetime to prepare for their own retirement.

    That’s absolutely NOTHING like a baby, which has no agency, no control over their life or actions, and is completely dependent on their parents. To even make the comparison is ignorant at best.

    If I make it to old age and can’t feed or wipe myself, and nobody else wants to do that, that’s a me problem. I have probably been a shitty enough person that my children and grandchildren don’t want to take care of me, and/or I’ve been financially stupid enough to not plan for that outcome. Either way, that’s my own life actions coming back to me.

    A baby doesn’t get that. They exist solely because some other people brought them into the world.







  • 1st Samuel 9:2

    Kish had a son named Saul, as handsome a young man as could be found anywhere in Israel, and he was a head taller than anyone else.

    It’s pertinent because Saul was anointed by Samuel specifically to be the physically imposing king on the battlefield against the Philistines to rival men like Goliath.

    But he pussied out and didn’t fight for Israel when it came down to it, and sent David out instead. David is what Saul was anointed to be. A large, physically imposing man, anointed by God to be the king of all the tribes of Israel.



  • So many people get David and Goliath wrong though.

    David wasn’t some scrawny little kid. He was fuckin huge. He grew up fighting bears and lions with his bare hands, and was extremely well trained with his sling.

    And after he killed Goliath, he wielded his sword and wore his armor, which were extremely heavy. Goliaths armor is directly stated to weigh 5,000 shekels which would be around 127lbs. The spear Goliath wielded had a tip that weighed 15 pounds alone.


  • No I got that. I’m saying that by the time the prod deploy comes around, there’s no proofreading left to do anyway.

    Not proofreading texts should have zero bearing on being able to write and deploy software because it should be proofread several times before the actual prod deployment. Hell it very likely isn’t even the same person doing the deployment that wrote the code.
