Honestly, I’m young, and I know older people that would spend it better than their failkids.

That’s not everyone, of course, but maybe instead of blaming people born at a slightly different time we should focus on being mad that there’s no non-hereditary path to wealth in the first place.

I wouldn’t put it past them. The one I saw climb into the hay loft on an upright human ladder knew what it was doing. Ditto for the time they excavated out a secret base under the deck and started laying eggs inside.

Never a dull moment with those guys.

Flying short distances and ability to expand your neck like 4x also looks cool.

Do not give them the satisfaction of being placed in the same category as their celebrity crushes. Assad is nothing like a goofy conspiracy theorist deep in the sheltered West.

Or ISIS, literally in the same UN-recognised borders at the same time.

I’m gonna chalk it up to this guy being a lawyer prosecuting a case.

There’s plenty of market-oriented or just straight-up elitist totalitarians to go around.

Like the cow one that’s just a sequence of differently-capitalised moos.

Old silicon, like IBM or something?

I’m not involved enough to really comment on that, but it’s not a 14 year old joke as much as a 1 or 2 year old joke if so.

Glad to hear it’s taking off. Hopefully browsers migrate to supporting it natively and depreciating JavaScript next.

Now the trick is to get through the resume filter, and make sure this guy interviews you. Then, FAANG job FTW.

Few people use just Typescript, though - there’s always dangerously exposed native libraries in the mix.

Look at those butthurt downvotes, haha. Currently 2 - 4.

Let me reach around mine to give you an upvote.

If a chicken could code, it would probably work like JavaScript. This is accurate.

When I had a flock, for example, sometimes one would flip over a bucket onto itself and then decide it must be night and go to sleep.

They got a headline. Mission achieved.

Honestly it was my first thought. If you’re on Lemmy in a world of Facebooks, pay-to-use seat heaters and dopamine-dispensing tracking devices, you’re probably in the same boat, at least to some degree.

It’s ascribing to yourself the ability to predict the future far (or similar) better than everyone else, though, which is cringe. Besides making people feel personally attacked, “iamverysmart” is just a thought pattern dangerous to your own objectivity.

Edit: I guess I just said “weareverysmart”, and frankly, I’ll stand by that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The people I meet IRL don’t seem like they’re really tracking the big picture much at all. More because they don’t feel like it than they can’t.

For America? I can’t think of any - being a global superpower, they have endless other better ways to do everything they might need it for.

For the rest of us, easier darknet drugs, I guess. It makes it a lot harder to ban crypto.

I actually think the purpose of a Bitcoin reserve is to temporarily increase the price so tech-bros (re: Elon) can sell at a massive profit. Then buy back at a much lower price. It’s just a way to indirectly transfer federal dollars into administration pockets.

I mean, I guess, but that actually gives them more credit than I think they deserve for being smart. I think they’re just bringing their bullshit hype with them into office.

Yeah, this is why I’ve been slow moving over to a password manager. A single cliff-like failure point scares me.

And it will still be way more expensive than an off-the-shelf faucet. That being said, you can make it look like an Eevee this way.

We already have a Dildo, Newfoundland, so it would be slightly redundant.

So what are we going to do about it? Nukes?

If he actually had left NATO the problem would have solved itself, but he’s gone back on that. As it is he could just kind of take the country.
