Google’s Mysterious Proprietary Algorithm shows different results to different people. Why are you pretending that other people are pretending?

Wow that’s horrible. They’re using c++.

Jail ≠ prison, this just means he’s going to have a worse time waiting for trial.

Well the problem with the Texas power grid is that it exists in the first place. Still, when it comes to safety, you have to multiply how bad it is by the number of people it will affect, and divide by the amount of power generated to get the right picture. There is a media bias towards rare, intense events which causes people to think they are more common than they really are. This explains people’s views on nuclear power, school shootings, terrorism, shark attacks etc.

Statistically nuclear is by far the safest form of power generation. Of course, it would be good to locate it in areas that are not disaster prone. As far as I understand it though, the issue with nuclear is the cost. But in a perfect world we would need something to smooth out the inconsistency of renewables, either battery tech or something like nuclear that you can turn on and off as needed.

The thing is, I don’t actually disagree with it. I don’t care what other people do if it doesn’t affect me, I just understand why and I’m willing to say it out loud.

“It’s so easy for me everyone, look how much better I am than you.” Proving my point but go on.

Ignore the reasons they give you. It’s literally 100% ego. They think it’s harder so doing it makes them better than everyone else.

Edit: They hated him because he spoke the truth.

The sources are… A bunch of tankie newsletters, a Medium article, and official Chinese reports? LOL talk about bias.

Wow, you are significantly insufferable.

If you’re worried about real harm this person should not be your partner. It doesn’t matter what they think about a movie.

Being manipulative is a good alternative compared to just being direct and asking your partner what they think? I’m sure someone who is going to throw a fit about the Barbie movie will be happy to tell you what they think about feminism if you just ask.

The beauty of a threaded conversation platform is that you can just close threads you’re not interested in. Or, apparently, start a new thread bitching about them.

Not sure why this is such a common perception. Most of the software devs I know are pretty average people other than being computer nerds. I met one trans CS student in college but that was it.

I assume they’re talking about using a washcloth or loofah, but I’m not sure as I’m also a committed bare-hander.

Strong typing doesn’t have a widely agreed upon definition. Duck typing is not equivalent to dynamic typing.

This game really makes you feel like you’re being stabbed with a knife.
