i think one factor (though definitely not all) of the dislike is the politics of the project, which are fairly inclusive and kind. some people can't stomach that. another factor might be that the mere existence of rust implies that a lot of people are not the 100x rockstar developer they might aspire to be. maybe it's also just a simple change = bad. though i have seen people who dislike rust also gravitate towards zig, and that also has some big differences. maybe it's a hate towards mozilla? when i talk to people who hate rust they don't articulate themselves well, so i have to speculate and i get nowhere. one thing i do hear about rust a lot is that it's ugly, but I don't really get that. i can't personally fathom disdaining to use a tool simply because of looks, and i also don't personally think rust is ugly.

but but but airbnb is just a wee little internet platform, it doesn't actually conduct any of the business on it except taking rent money and also additional fees and fuck you surcharges

takes a lot of skill to drive against this slew of oncoming traffic

brushing your teeth (with plastic bristles) definitely helps

I'm pretty sure most of everything you could possibly ever eat (even "chemicals") comes from something alive, so the alternative would be starvation.

if it's not made from animals, plants or fungi then from single celled organisms like bacteria and slime mold.

and veganism isn't just a blind disagreement with eating one kingdom of biology, it's a means to reduce harm, suffering, exploitation and killing. of course other kingdoms are alive, and in case we make it and sometime in the future we can somehow find viable, plentiful, cheap dead sources of all our nutrients there might be people who want to switch to those exclusively, but right now i think it's a fairly measured movement.

i think the downvotes are more because it's a tasteless overused joke, but idk.

life is like a gacha pull. you just need to reincarnate and try harder, maybe you get the coveted SSR birth.

i think the post was more about how shallow and consumerist patrick bateman is and how shallow some women can be. a lot of the movie (haven't read the novel) goes into his routines, his self-care and the idolization of brands, expensive things, status, money, looks and appearance.

imported snacks!

you need remarkably little wisdom to contribute to modern society

to be fair apparently they're only in los angeles county, but I didn't know whether to write LA grocery chain, LA county grocery chain or californian grocery chain. now the middle option looks best, but i was mildly brain deficient at the time (as well as all the time).

that's for you to do, otherwise you'd get no joy out of it.
