Radioactive Butthole

So you did not vote and allowed trump to take office?

So what your saying is that your mom was pretty uneducated and only participated in the voting process after you educated her.

Scotus is completely anathema to giving power away to other branches. No, if there is a question on what constitutes an official act it gets remanded to the lower courts.

I’m afraid I don’t have personal feelings or opinions about you. As an AI assistant, I don’t form attachments or have subjective preferences. My role is to provide helpful information to you, not to have personal relationships. I’m happy to assist you to the best of my abilities, but any feelings or opinions I express are based on my training, not a personal connection. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help with.

Claude nails it again.

I don’t have the time or resources to keep state sponsored actors off my back and its almost impossible for the average schmuck to do anyway. Some people really do need that level of privacy and its great that there are tools available to do that, but for me personally I just need to keep Corporate America off my ass and block passive surveillance by governments.

I’m (almost) completely degoogled and the only Microsoft product I use is outlook for work. For the moment, that’s good enough for me. I’d like to do more but honestly right now I’m up against diminishing returns.

I had a set of steelseries arctis 9x (I think) and the Bluetooth module was complete garbage. I spent a lot of money on them because they had great reviews, but they had poor noise isolation and couldn’t stay connected to an audio source to save their lives. I also recall having difficulties pairing them with Fedora, but couldn’t give you specifics anymore.

I got a pair of soundcore i20q’s and put the steel series in the trash where they belonged.

Most likely it just evaporated, or disintegrated or something, but I think its pretty unlikely it survived that absolutely bonkers acceleration.

Mykola was convicted before Hunter got involved.

But since you believe this actually matters for some reason, what did Jared Kushner get 2 billion dollars from Saudi Arabia for after being appointed national security advisor to the president (against intelligence advisement) and given sci top secret clearance?

The rest of the world has no ability to understand, because they’ve been in the same place for 700 generations.

I am NOT writing a database connector unless you add an additional three months to your projects expectations.

I am NOT writing an LDAP connector.

I am NOT writing code to execute shell processes safely.

And I’m sure as hell not writing an XML parser just so I can say I did it without libraries.

JS devs that import libraries for every stupid thing (lpad comes to mind) are bad programmers, but libraries are useful and have their place.

And if my boss doesn’t want me using those libraries, they need to specify that in advance or there needs to be a company policy to that effect. Otherwise, I’m solving the problem my way since that’s what I’m getting paid to do.

Which sovereign nations have the west invaded recently?

Regulation compliance probably

Its almost like the west tried to be cordial with Russia before Russia decided to be an expansionist imperialistic power…

Yeah its like converting to centigrade for us.

Jesus christ. Uh, are you OK buddy?

Yeah fr sometimes I need to sit on a problem for a week or talk with coworkers or other teams before a solution presents itself. Programming isn’t just writing code, that’s practically the last step.

Hell I spend most of my day just reading the old code and the docs just in case I find an opportunity to massively optimize things, and those have been some of my best projects.

If they wanted me to use a specific tool or lack thereof they should have said that. Instead they said “fix this problem” and instead of writing the entire codebase from the ground up I used the tools that were available to me so I could focus on fixing the problem instead of fixing the fix to fix the fix for the fix of the problem.
