Ideally yes. But as a guy I have been insulted in public for small things like wearing nail polish, and that's in a liberal German city. Most people don't care, some don't like it, some compliment it and some make me feel unsafe.

And that of course has an effect in other areas too: what if my boss or my coworkers don't like me wearing nail polish? They would never be open about it (our company would not allow it), but it might lead to some bias against me. And as they wouldn't be open about it, I couldn't react to it (by calling them out or changing jobs). Instead I might just advance more slowly and wonder why that is. It really fucks with your mind, when you know there is bias against you (or something you do) but you never know in which situations it actually comes into play.

I still wear nail polish most of the time, because fuck the haters and we need to make progress somehow, but it's not as easy as "I don't care about them so they don't care about me".

More like Dark Eye, as black eye usually means "ein blaues Auge haben".

Can you explain the need for hysteria?

No, because if hysteria would be an appropriate response it wouldn't be hysteria. The good news is: no one is calling for hysteria, there's just a recommendation to wear masks.

If so, then don’t just look at the positive tests but at the graph that shows tests performed

and patients committed

You may have a different opinion than HenryVolney on this. That does not make your original argument less false.

You're making a false argument, hence the downvotes. HenryVolney isn't disagreeing with posting more non-US news, they are saying that reminders to not post every US news here can also be valuable.

That depends where on the mountain, whether you're already descending etc.

Paid commute and a separate room.

Programming can be really rewarding and creative. It can also be really, really frustrating, because it might take ages to fix a problem just because some tiny detail went wrong. That might be a problem if you're struggling with motivation and confidence.
