The note about education in there is extremely troubling, I'll snip it in a moment

it's really not. slight effort post:

the military wants people with some degree of hacking skill/people who can be trained to do that, but they run into a few problems.

a: few people with those skills want to join (hack the planet, can make actual money doing private sector work)
b: of those people with those skills who want to join, few are going to make it physically (fat slovenly neckbeards/skinny guys who will break bones if you sneeze at them)
c: of those few who want to join and can join, few can get the appropriate security clearance (drug charges, prior criminal record for hacking)
d: of the tiny number of people who make it through the first few categories, even fewer are going to stay because of military bullshit.

it's better from a long-term perspective to get kids this training early so you have a better pool of recruits, rather than taking a guy and throwing code books at him and hoping he becomes good enough™

Let me just cut to the chase: I think that people give other people poo poo about Harry Potter as a metaphor more than Star Trek as a metaphor because Harry Potter has a larger female fanbase. I don't have any evidence, that's just my grumpy rear end in a top hat assumption. Now I'll drop the issue.

i can only speak for the DPP thread, but some of us actually give enough of a gently caress to be involved in stopping the dismantling of this country

Yeah, reading the DPP thread got me motivated enough to start attending my county's monthly democratic meetings and now I'm a committeeman and get to spend my time trying to funnel more upset millennials into the party to offset all of the 60 year old complacent leadership. It is great and I really encourage anyone who has the time to get as involved in local politics as you can
