  • If the marriage was traditional and the spouse was coerced by either pregnancy or culture to give up aspirations or education, I think alimony is absolutely essential. That person gave up their dreams for a relationship and alimony could help them recover their skills.

    If the marriage was modern and both spouses were equally educated and have professions? Alimony is stupid and archaic.

    For spousal support I assume you mean while married, I think it’s a weird power dynamic to give a significant other money directly.











  • My experience is every person in the US who enters the workforce and gets their first paycheck is always surprised. Since here in the us salary is given in pretax dollars, you never get the amount you’d expect for your first one.

    Otherwise, some complain scout sales tax in the us for a similar reason, especially going from a state with none to a state with a high rate





  • “Which is bad news for developers”

    Nah, we’ve been through lots of iterations of community for developers, irc, maillists, forums, stackoverflow, etc. Most of my complex questions go through specific discord communities now. I’m not trying to spend a year editing a single post because some swamp ass weanie on stackoverflow has his nose covered in rule dust.

    Yes ai has changed the game a bit, but it is not removing community, it’s mostly just cutting down on the question duplication

    My most recent foray into a new technology was working with vulkan in rust on a mac, stackoverflow is useless compared to the vulkan discord.
