That might've been the plan all along.

You get to exist and understand that you do. That's pretty huge already, as far as I can tell.

I guess you're referring to the part I edited out where I said that there doesn't seem to be any evidence that life is supposed to be easy. I don't think that contradicts humans trying to make life easy.

But it seems to me that a lot of meaning is derived from being at the limit of what is impossible or at least difficult, and staying at the level of easy makes people depressed and unhappy.

Certainly going for the people at the top will ultimately result in less killing. The alternative is to just try to kill all the Hezbollah members.

PHP is Russian. Used to be huge, caused lots of problems, now slowly dwindling away. Its supporters keep saying how it's still better than the competition.

Huh. Time to buy some stock.

I'm not terribly against stealing money from maga dumb idiots with too much money.

I miss the time when people realized that fiction, even if possibly metaphoric, is ultimately not real.

I have been using X11 since 1996, and I never felt that it was very good. Sure, at the start it was better the then state-of-the-art desktop (Windows 95), mostly thanks to Linux, but that advantage went away in 2001 when OS/X was released. And even Windows went past it at some point, perhaps around Windows 7 or 8.

Wayland took a long time to get there, but it definitely is there today.

I sure fucking hope it's not 94% for Republicans.

It's like a good C++ that is actually able to replace it. There are lots of places where a good C++ is useful. Like everything that needs low latency and low resource usage.

But it's not an easy language, so (I'm guessing) people who see everyone loving it but are unable to learn it start to suffer some sort of cognitive dissonance. If it's too difficult for me to learn, that must be its fault, not mine.

Harris moves to the left on domestic economic issues, and boomers switch to her.

You might be making a classical correlation is not causation mistake here. There are a lot of separate reasons to prefer Harris over Trump.

He totally is too old, though. Bill Clinton is younger than him.

What is confusing to me is why would it matter to Putin if Trump lied here? The Russian mode of government is lying and deception after all.

Does he actually think that his voters want Ukraine to lose? Oh fuck, do his voters actually want Ukraine to lose?

One angry kid with a spray bottle. That's all it takes for this to happen. Let's not be crazy about the implications perhaps?

Could he sell all of it? And then completely fuck off? br, tesla (car) owner

It would be amazing if Harris, a black woman, beat the shit out of Trump. But how probable is this? I thought Kamala Harris was universally disliked across the board?

This is mostly why we're better than they are: these things sometimes get reported, and our media criticizes these actions. There's a non-zero chance of punishing these people.

On the other side, these people are universally treated as heroes and if they're given something, it's medals or promotions.

But of course, we will need to actively work to maintain this superiority. It can vanish in an instant.

Again with the dog airhorn.

Respectfully, fuck this noise and take the thing seriously. The election is not decided until the votes are counted and the secessionists (if any) are shot or incarcerated.

How does that horrible game even have players?

Aren't they already practically public, given the federation?

Shooter has been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks. Some sources say he was affiliated with some anti-fascist group, and other places are saying he was a registered Republican.

And who flirts with nazism, abuses women, probably colluded with Russia and other autocracies and lies about everything.

It isn't really that difficult a choice if you can remember just a couple of things from his presidency.

What a completely random thing to do.

Was a horrible idea before Musk also.

Would it be fun if Harris won and gave subsidies to every other EV company but Tesla?

Supposedly though Putin has cancer so here’s hoping nature gets rid of him.

I'll consider this to be propaganda until he keels over from it.

Here in Europe, where we are not burdened by two-party systems :-|

I thought he was literally anti-christ, but I guess false prophet isn't inaccurate.

I love the idea of an all-capable, all-seeing deity thinking that a sentence was wrong and then doing absolutely nothing about it. That's the sort of laziness that only good old Jehova can pull off.

It was pretty bad. There's not much more to say about that. Trump was bad too, but he was bad in almost the same way 4 and 8 years ago. If I was a conservative, I'd be pretty happy about that debate.

This is not a good person. This is a bad person.

There's obviously no problem whatsoever with Ukraine making counter-attacks to Russian's side. I hope they can keep it up.

Perhaps they can circumvent Crimea's stronger northern defences by attacking it from the east. Yes, I know, a bit of a fantastic scenario, but one can dream.

She’d never want to be President.

Paraphrasing Douglas Adams, that would make her the best candidate. But in real life, perhaps not so much.

Putin needs to be in Hague. That's step 1 of denazification.

New russian strategy: flood the prisoner camps of Ukraine. It's a variation of a zerg rush.

Lavrov already calls this a treachery, so I guess it's absolutely a good thing.
