"Emergency services told them it was too dangerous for them to attempt to leave, suggesting they put on their care worker uniforms in case that helped placate any rioters who broke in."
I've never read any more infuriating in my life.

I keep hearing people say things like the current race riots are wrong because immigration has fallen. You are missing the point. Firstly, the media are addicted to anti-immigration coverage, because it is so easy. Secondly, no drop in immigration will ever placate the racists.

it used to be that devs would skim over your code and offer helpful suggestions. a couple tests ran and maybe sussed out some stuff. there was areas of automation where it made sense (formatting, spaces vs tabs, semi-colons, etc.)

now: so many test runners and devs seemingly exist to placate robots
