Why are they putting bibles in classrooms in the first place? Did they repeal the First Amendment?

And cocoa. It’s a common allergen, causing migraines.

Me too. Well said!

Interviewer: Tell me an interesting debugging story

Interviewee: …

Me too. But the other day, a junior developer and I were looking at some fairly old code, and I recognized the writing style in the comment as mine. We ran p4 annotate and, sure enough, I was the baddie.

It ran outta gas. It had a flat tire. It didn’t have enough money for cab fare. Its tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole its car. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locusts!

Great. What’s your address, so when Trump wins and we descend into ChristoFascism, I can send you flowers and a thank you note?

If he wins, it puts a far right sexual predator second in the line of succession after VP Harris. I hope they increase security on Biden and Harris and make sure the two of them are never in the same place at the same time

🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant! Have some Lemmy gold: 💰💰💰💰💰

Do people even try being kind about mistakes before mouthing off? 4th grade social skills would tell you that you’re talking like a jackass. You are a part of our problem.

Only if you name it ErrorClassifierGPT

Good. Gun violence is a public health crisis. I’m glad someone is finally treating it as such.

Phew! Thanks! I needed a good laugh this morning!

Good. I hope he cooperates fully. If he did anything wrong, let him face consequences! Because you know what? Even though I think he’s doing a good job as President, I also think that he’s just, you know, a man.

This is the second time in this post’s comments that I’ve seen the idea that the pushing of religious beliefs into politics, into non-religious people, etc, is “starting” to become a problem.

No.

It is a problem.

It is dangerous.

It’s the reason for the repeal of Roe v Wade, leaving to such atrocities as a 10 year old child being forced to go out of her home state to abort her rapist’s baby.

It’s the reason Republicans spent so many decades stacking the Supreme Court in the first place, to get outcomes like the above. Remember Mitch McConnell not letting President Obama appoint a replacement for Scalia? That had nothing to do with the people’s will and everything to do with conservative, religious beliefs.

It’s the reason so many states are passing anti-LGBTQ laws, particularly anti-trans laws, putting queer people of all kinds at risk of violence, depression, and suicide.

It’s the reason so many states are banning books and the teaching of accurate history. Suppression of knowledge carries with it a danger all its own.

There is no “starting”. The danger is here. Now.

“starting”? I think we started with the gutting of Roe v Wade. Possibly earlier. I already fear for my friends and family who identify as female. And if the Republicans take the White House in 2024, I think it will just get worse and worse.

I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.

“Stock-based compensation allows for an alignment of interests between shareholders and managers.

And ignores the other stakeholders in the equation, such as employees, customers, and community. People forget that there are two (that I, at least, know of) kinds of Capitalism. We have gone the route of Shareholder Capitalism, and look where we’ve ended up. But Stakeholder Capitalism, which considers all stakeholders to be important, is a real thing and is, perhaps, a better model for society in general.

Sadly, that’s not what they’re teaching now, and it’s not how the CEOs, Boards, and markets think.

I do the same thing, and it pays off. Afew months ago, my Dell computer was being really laggy. I had a maintenance contract, and when I called them, I gave them a detailed description of the behavior and a list of exactly what I had tried before calling (it was extensive and exhaustive). I could hear the gears in the support repository head grind to a half momentarily and then restart in another mode altogether, and she jumped right to advanced troubleshooting. It was a great moment for both of us,.
