What does that have to do with my original statement.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 month ago:
The fact thats only as far back as you went is sorta my point.
Yall dont remember before that, when Trump last was president as well, the crowds getting kettlepotted and gassed out, the peaceful crowds getting dispersed just so trump could take a photo op?
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 month ago:
And it’s up to the people in the 50 State’s National Guard, and law enforcement, and the military to decide between the constitution and fascism.
Okay but you do remember we were here before and the national guard and law enforcement extremely made it very clear who’s side they were on… right?

The fuck is protesting going to do at this point, lets be real here. Why do you think a protest has any sway of the bulldozer that is happening in the US Legal system?
Protesting is just not gonna accomplish much, a little bit more than that is needed I think.
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 2 months ago:
I mean it matters here, as it’s literally the topic being actively discussed by the person who literally asked, so obviously it matters to them lol
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 2 months ago:
Sure but my point is, if it was the scenario you described, then Elon would be talking about the right kind of denormalization problem.
Denormalization due to multiple different storing their own copies if the same data, in different formats worse yet, would actually be the kind if problem he’s tweeting about.
As opposed to a composite key on one table which means him being an ultracrepidarian, as usual.
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 2 months ago:
Okay but if that happens, musk is right that that’s a bit of a denormalization issue that mayne needs resolving.
SSNs should be stored as strings without any hyphen or additional markup, nothing else.
- Storing as a number can cause issues if you ever wanna support trailing zeros
- any “styling” like hyphens should be handled by a consuming front end system, you want only the important data in the DB to maximize query times
It’s more likely though it’s just a composite key…
- Comment on 'Go haywire': Onlookers freak out as 25-year-old set loose on Treasury computer system 2 months ago:
I don’t understand why the country where everyone is constantly touting guns “just I’m case” suddenly becomes “we don’t know what to dOoOoOo” when a random 25 year old unapproved unelected stranger walks in and compromises your systems
He’s a terrorist as far as you know. Just fucking shoot him.
Does he have an access badge? Did HR approve him? Did he go through correct approvals?
No?
Okay well he’s breaking the law then, fucking shoot him lol, what the fuck is the point of all of your guns uf you won’t even shoot people actively trespassing on federal grounds
He’s a terrorist, it’s okay to just fucking shoot someone compromising your federal database.
- Comment on How is the current AI bubble when compared to the .com bubble in the early 2000's? 2 months ago:
Adding online documentation to symbols, such that the LSP will display ot when you interact with them.
Code comments on stuff, “Use this method to x, params do this, returns that, throws this” etc etc
- Comment on How is the current AI bubble when compared to the .com bubble in the early 2000's? 2 months ago:
For those of us using the tools, actively, it doesn’t seem to be a bubble.
For a lot of us it’s already showing tangible measurable productivity increases, primarily on boring stuff normally we’d hate doing.
As an example, I use it often to help with documenting my code, it’s really good at summarizing what my code does abd making clear, legible, professional documentation for all my code.
That sorta stuff would normally take me hours and hours to do, now it takes about 1.
I still proof read it, but a lot of my typing and formatting and humming and hawwing is gone.
There’s a lotta shit like that out there getting streamlined more and more every month that goes by.
I think it’s maybe 50/50 bubble and actual value. Lots of garbage “products” vaporware out there by people on the bandwagon.
But also a lot of the tools truly are useful to folks.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 4 months ago:
Fundamentally good CEOs expect a wage based on the market.
There’s tonnes of high paying positions so, no, non profits truly will struggle to find an actually good CEO if they dont offer a competitive wage.
It’s not their fault, it’s the lack of regulation on all the for-profits and the fact they can funnel so much money up to CEOs unchecked.
If for-profits had regulatory checks that made them do that less, then non-profits wouldn’t have to compete with nearly as insanely high wages.
IE if there was a law that CEOs couldn’t be paid more than 10x their lowest paid worker, this problem would be a lot less insane.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 4 months ago:
It’s not exactly the charities fault.
The real issue is that for profit companies can pay their CEOs this much, which means charities have to compete if they want a good CEO too.
In reality we should be cracking down on companies hoarding wealth towards to their CEOs at exorbitant rates, that way charities won’t have to pay a wage like this just to function and even hire a CEO.
- Comment on I can't imagine being paid to act like I enjoy working in the office 4 months ago:
You do know some jobs can’t be done remote right?
It’s possible the two people are the two with jobs that require some potential in person intervention (IT being the main case)
If something physically fails, you can’t exactly fix that remotely.
The fact only 2 people remained says to me they prolly had that sort of job, or, some people genuinely prefer working in the office.
Sounds crazy but some people don’t have a comfortable set up at home and find it easier to focus in the office. I’ve had data where construction was right outside my window at home so yeah, I went into work to have some quiet.
Most of the time I prefer WFH, for sure.
But to pretend that literally everyone can always wfh, and always wants to, is silly and you’ve gone too far off the other end.
- Comment on THE HECK? Documents show FEMA official ordered workers to ignore houses with Trump signs 5 months ago:
If true, sounds kinda personal and will prolly result in repercussions.
But the fact so many MAGA idiots were acting violent towards FEMA operatives prolly is enough to justify it. Can’t blame em, if a group of people are actively fighting against your help then it’s better to not waste time/energy/safety on em.
I heard shit about MAGA idiots pulling out guns on FEMA folks, that’s fucked up lol

- Comment on In Stunning Letter To Congress, Zuckerberg Admits Biden-Harris Pressured Facebook To Censor Content 7 months ago:
Disinformation is not the same as Misinformation mate.
It’s critical to know the difference.
- Comment on In Stunning Letter To Congress, Zuckerberg Admits Biden-Harris Pressured Facebook To Censor Content 7 months ago:
Who determines what is disinformation?
A jury, for a given case
Who determines that the information is endangering lives?
A jury, for a given case
If Trump wins the election do you want him determining these things?
I wouldn’t put it past him to try and do that, knowing him.
But that’s not how laws work. Determining if a given case is or is not disinformation would be up to a jury to deliberate, based on facts presented by the lawyers.
As that’s how the justice system works. Or us supposed to at least.
And yes, proving it is disinformation is super hard, so the prosecutor must have a pretty iron tight case. You’d likely need witnesses that can attest to the defendant outright admitting to the act, or their behaviors that signal intent, or evidence on their devices, etc.
This is exactly how Libel and Slander / Defamation cases work right now, you have to prove the defendant knew they were lying and or making a story up intentionally which is incredibly hard, cuz the dependant can just go “I really thought that was the truth!”
For example in the Heard v Depp case, they had to pull evidence of her doctoring photos and using makeup to really sell the case and win the jury over.
So it’s a huge gap to cross…
But…
If you do cross it, I believe the penalty for it should be pretty severe. Especially if the defendant was:
- Endangering people’s lives with bad advice And/Or
- Posing as an expert without actually being one
IE those people that dress up like a doctor or nurse or etc and then sell extremely bullshit stuff on social media. That should straight up result in some prison time if they gave out genuinely harmful disinformation.
- Comment on In Stunning Letter To Congress, Zuckerberg Admits Biden-Harris Pressured Facebook To Censor Content 7 months ago:
When they lead to harm, they do indeed end.
People often forget the right to free speech isn’t prioritized over other human rights in pretty kych every first world country.
Otherwise stuff like Libel and Slander wouldn’t make sense legally. As well as hate speech laws.
Your right to free speech comes after peoples rights to safety from harm, and how that’s worded varies country by country, but feel free to Google up on it for your specific case.
It’s why stuff like advertising laws, misinformation and disinformation laws, etc can work too.
Free speech isn’t right #1, which some people just can’t seem to wrap their head around I guess. This isn’t even new, it’s been like that for ages.
How do you think snake oil salesmen could be prosecuted if they were allowed to just say whatever they want?
Why do you think it’s possible to have legal repercussions for threatening to shoot up a school, or bomb a plane?
- Comment on In Stunning Letter To Congress, Zuckerberg Admits Biden-Harris Pressured Facebook To Censor Content 7 months ago:
I believe disinformation (not misinformation) that endangered lives should be illegal, yes.
If someone posts a video that purposefully tells people to do something that endangers lives and makes it look good/safe, that person should face penalties of fines or jail time functional of how dangerous their recommendation was.
As for the laptop, I’m not dismissing anything.
It’s 100% an entirely unrelated anecdote that was mentioned as a totally seperate and discrete event in the letter, that has nothing to do with the headline.
The article used vague wording to try and jumble the two seperate events together and make it sound like they were one event that occurred, which us extremely shitty journalism.
Stop falling for such obvious bullshit and go read the original source.
I have no issue with governments cracking down on disinformation. It’s a huge problem and should carry extremely heavy penalties if it causes harm.
- Comment on In Stunning Letter To Congress, Zuckerberg Admits Biden-Harris Pressured Facebook To Censor Content 7 months ago:
The content in question?
COVID19 disinformation that was getting people killed.
The hunter Biden laptop thing is a secondary tied in unrelated cliff note that has nothing to do with the heading.
But “government pressures social media platform to crack down on COVID19 disinformation spreading” doesn’t have that catchy ring to it to get those clicks now does it.

- Comment on Anon is asking the difficult questions 8 months ago:
Reread the post.
“Doesn’t share an interest with you” isn’t the same as “actively dislikes your interests”
- Comment on Anon is asking the difficult questions 8 months ago:
Easily #1, but that’s because they worded it as what her current interests are.
Just be interesting yourself, and put the work into finding out what about her interests are actually interesting. People find things interesting for a reason.
No one is actually boring, if you find someone boring it just means you dont understand them yet. Pay attention, listen, and try to see it through their eyes and maybe you’ll find their “boring” interests aren’t so boring after all, you just didnt “see” it fully yet to appreciate it.
And, typically, if you put the work into showing interest in whatever they are into, they’ll reciprocate.
Also, there’s infinite room for the two of you to both find new interests neither of you had before that now you both can share.
When my fiance and I started dating years ago, neither of us gave a shit about birds… but now that we live in a place with lots of cool random birds we can spot, and we go for walks everyday, we actually stop and go “holy shit what kind of bird is that, I dont recognize it” or “holy fuck are those pelicans? I didnt even know we got pelicans here!” etc etc.
The other day out of the blue when we were chilling at a nearby water reservoir watching a duck, a whole ass fuckin pelican came outta nowhere and swooped down, splashing into the water and sniped a random fish, then burst up with it in its mouth like… 2 feet in front of us. It was a pretty big “holy shit did that just happen?” moment.
If we hadn’t been sitting there just enjoying watching a duck, we never would’ve gotten to see that pelican.
So, you know, maybe there’s no such thing as “normie” interests, or a “boring” person. You might be the boring one if anything, because you can’t understand why people love something and get interested in it…
- Comment on Anon is an anthropologist 8 months ago:
Exponential growth, thats about all there is to it. Advancing from clacking rocks to hunting deer is actually already a huge advancement.
Those 190k years in caves however werent non-advancing. A lot of advancements happened over those years.
Fires, wheels, knot tying, ceramics, pottery, grains, hunting, animal husbandry, medicine, language, art, music, rope…
Also, 10k years is after we gained writing of various forms to store information.
Keep in mind thats at the stage of shit like egypt, the great pyramids, etc. We were waaaaay beyond “cavemen” at that point. We already had trade routes, cities, nations, countless languages, doctors, etc.
The big issue was before that point, all our forms of storing information were just not able to stand the test of time very well, is all. We stopped being “cavemen” way before that mark though.

- Comment on What is skibidi toilet? [Serious] 10 months ago:
It does mean something.
The skibidi toilet “creatures” are considered the antagonists, and the weird is associated with their traits.
- creepy
- gross
- scary
- weird
Its an insult to and pretty much interchangeably with “creepy” with a splash of “cringe”
Often paired with “ohio” which means “bland” / " boring" / “mid”
Example:
“Yo he got that skibidi Ohio rizz”
Translation:
“This dude has zero game, in fact he is creepy and weird and has negative charisma, people find him repulsive and boring”
