While I don't necessarily disagree with you, it's sort of weird to hold the combined viewpoint of "denigrating labor is bad" and "calling someone a janitor is bad." The only reason the term computer janitor would be insulting is if you consider calling someone a janitor an insult.

(Also speaking as someone who has worked in IT 'computer janitor' isn't an inaccurate description.)

I'm a copy editor and I've been lobbying for awhile to get my official title changed to "Word Janitor".

Can someone help me out with understanding the impacts of CA Prop 61? If it passes it would cap state agency payments for drugs to what the VA has negotiated with the industry. That sounds nice but I'm concerned companies will just jack up prices on other drugs, or flat-out refuse to meet those conditions, so it ends up restricting patient access. Both sides seem to have supporters that I agree with on other issues. I'm leaning towards No right now over those concerns, what do other CA goons think?

The dread :abuela: approves. You might survive the purge

You should read the article. He's just saying he'll review candidates based on merit instead of rejecting them outright. IE: instead of "we'll ignore any nominee" it'll be "Clinton keeps nominating Constitution hating liebral activist judges so I keep saying no" which will probably play better with people too.

The end result is the exact same thing just with a more palatable phrasing. It's even worked on several goons in this thread going by responses to the article.

Dr. Infant, MD
As someone who's been writing software professionally for ~14 years I can confirm a majority of it is janitorial type work of connecting Tab A into Slot B like it tells you to in the manual. It might seem fancy and cerebral to an outsider who isn't familiar with the tools and concepts and so on, but we have to engage our brains a similar amount of time to any other profession. Once you're no longer entry level, most of what you do is solve problems you've experienced before, it's just that can manifest in a million different variations.

Though plumber would be a way more accurate comparison than janitor IMO

If you can't see why it's relevant to point out to people who do that sort of thing that they aren't immune to misfortune I bet there's a lot of points you miss.
