Where I am the charging infrastructure is terrible and electricity prices are bad. I was considering a hybrid but I guess if it’s no better I’ll just grab a regular ICE

Is it a common theme to shit on people for not having rollied their own C implemtations or was that a one off lapse of judgment on their part?

I’m not God’s gift to the field, but I am clearly better than most of my competition - that is, practitioners who haven’t put in the reps to build their own C libraries in a cave with scraps, but can read textbooks and use libraries written by elite institutions.

I agree not reading isn’t a virtue, but after reading something that caused my eyes to roll entirely out of my skull, I had to choose to cut the damage to my optic nerves.

Maybe the rest was good. That was bad. My critique is constrained to that specific, nauseating paragraph.

Well the top comment was “fuck these people” so if the goal was to build broad public support it is having the opposite effect.

Alternatively, EVERYONE is cheering for those fucking Orcas, so… Imagine being dumber than a whale.

You’re not a real data scientist unless you’ve written your own libraries in C??

I couldn’t get past the inferiority complex masquerading as a confident appeal to authority.

Maybe the rest of the article was good but the taste of vomit wasn’t worth it to me.

I generally agree.

That being said… All of the analysis, all of the sound arguments… They’ve already been made 1000 times.

This is different in the sense that it provides no explanation. Face. Word.

It’s not anti republican. It doesn’t induce shame in a reader simply for identifying as Republican.

There might be a subset of disillusioned republicans for whom this actually is actually a persuasive approach.

Edit: And I actually applaud whatever nerd realized that all the nerd talk has been had and was brave enough to try something else.

The one China policy is just a diplomatic hedge.

Everyone will SAY there is “one China”, but nations can make defense pacts with specific “parts” of China, even in the event of “invasion” from a different part of that same “one China”.

One China is about those mental gymnastics. Buying into “one China” isn’t about supporting the reunification of Taiwan. Never was. It’s the opposite.

Crime, boy… I don’t know

Yeah. Not embarrassed about this at all. And a narrative that I should be is bizzare to me.

I think pretty much everyone views their political ideology as “the one that stands for freedom”, and it just comes down to what it means to be “free”, and the follow up of free from what.

I feel like libertarians would love the concept of FOSS and decentralization, and I don’t think anyone would argue they skew left.

So, I disagree that FOSS is inherently left wing. I think it’s attractive to the left wing for many good reasons. I think people project their own politics onto whatever they love, and things can be loved by very different groups for different reasons.

Changing the social definition of the concepts of gender, and how people view themselves are completely distinct.

I can paint new directions on the face of a compass , but it’s still going to point where it was going to point regardless.

North is a social construct, but no amount of conversation therapy is ever going to move the north star.

Why does gender identity being a social construct mean conversation therapy would work? I don’t follow the logic behind that assertion.

I see no reason why you can’t be biologically predisposed to identify as things that are socially constructed.

I think an argument could be made that since gender is a social construct anyways, the idea of “alpha”, “beta”, and “sigma” males are different genders.

Lol, so if I’m hearing you right, people who yap endlessly about “being alpha” are “beta to alpha trans”?

Here, take this cigarette!

Moments before what in retrospect was inevitable, Jeremy realized he shouldn’t have crammed his rectal cavity with cheddar cheese that morning.

Sure, but you can stack courts with judges who could do things like turn a blind eye to jury intimidation.

And like, do we know anyone who would doxx jurors and ask to the violent masses “won’t someone rid me of this turbulent priest?” Or who would stack judges?

A would-be dictator is the exact thing the founding fathers built a constitution to protect against, and this design is no accident. A popular candidate can’t be sidelined by a dictator.

Their failing was that they vastly overestimated the competency of the electorate, and the competency of the electorate was what their imagined vaccine against dictatorship was. Without it, the entire concept of democracy kinda falls apart.

The real acronym for multiple personalities disorder. It spiked in popularity in 2021-22.

I think if society is putting “normal” on a pedestal, admiring and adoring that “trait”, that’s what a narcissist will want to be viewed as, and would fight any statement suggesting the contrary.

In the last decade, I’d say that there have been plenty of examples of social media elevating and celebrating many neuro-divergent conditions. Autism, ADHD, Tourette’s and DID.

I think that’s awesome, and I love it, and I never want things to go back on this. My nephews are diagnosed by an actual doctor neurospicy and I’m like, overcome and overwhelmed with gratitude that they’ll get to opportunity to grow up in a world of acceptance that I couldn’t have dared to dream could exist when I was a kid.

But, this new reality has brought out the narcissists like flies to honey. Suddenly everyone was self diagnosing DID. The irony being that they don’t have DID, but that it’s a huge red flag for narcissism.
