lol it’s like c++ but we removed friend classes and other bullshit no one uses lol

Deleting 107k lines of code is so much more based than adding 107k lines

Idaho looks at those lists for the worst state in the union and say “we gotta pump those numbers up”

I have wondered a similar question… Is the trend that young men who are raised in a republican environment / family / culture aren’t leaving it at the same rate as their predecessors? Or is it that more young men raised in a liberal / apolitical environment are being captured by the right wing internet pipeline?

I would guess that in previous generations, kids are raised about 50/50 to match their parents beliefs (who are roughly 50/50 conservative or liberal) and the significant dominance of liberal youth vote was attributable to kids leaving that ideology behind as they form their own beliefs, reenforced by peer effects. But I’ve wondered if tiktok and other new social dysfunction of current generations has made it easier for kids raised in that 50/50 to just “stay” where they were raised.

Perhaps it could all be explained by the weakening of the ability of peer effects to influence young people’s political beliefs. Young men feel they have more community in online conservative spaces than they do in their more egalitarian real world social environments, so instead of ditching their parents beliefs to match their real world friends they ditch their real world friends that don’t match their beliefs.

There is no contradiction. Anyone can put their foot in their mouth or trip up what they’re saying. Doesn’t mean they are casual or even rare users of racial slurs. My point is If somebody is saying something racist it’s easy enough to criticize that without resorting to pointing out they used one phoneme of a bad word. It just sounds petty and it doesn’t at all speak to the people that need convincing that the rhetoric around immigrants is unacceptable. Do you want to feel superior or do you want to win?

Did he do that? It’s not clear. Sounds like he just fumbled his words. And no I don’t use them on accident or on purpose but nice try

Then just attack his racist comments and not speaking. It’s not clear that’s what he said. There’s plenty of racist people who would never ever in a million years use that word. If they’re really so bad it’s easy to beat them on substance without resorting to gotchas that can happen to anyone

If your love letter isn’t given in the form of highly obfuscated C, is it really a love letter? I don’t know, but what I do know is that I love you! <3

Depends which one is a more fundamental belief. If you are willing to vote for socially liberal agenda despite being a (horribly misguided) fiscal conservative then that’s a disagreement and something we can work through. If you are willing to vote for a fiscal conservative agenda (republicans) despite being a social liberal, yeah, you clearly have terrible and selfish priorities.

Honestly this is pretty much it. Sometimes you have to be pretty aggressive to get companies to do the thing you need; they will take advantage of the social friction required to keep you in predatory arrangements. They literally design it to be frustrating so you’ll give up. Like you, I try to make it clear to the person I’m speaking with I have no problem with them just the business. But if the corporations require me to get mad to do the right thing I will get mad.

Two cycles ago (Obama v Romney) was the first time a candidate even openly supported gay marriage. We are still in the infancy of queer liberation

Extremely rare side effects aside, what about all the kids whose lives you destroy by _not _ intervening? Do you know how many confused cis kids go on blockers, decide they want to stop and go on and live a cis life? It literally almost never happens.

Of the children accessing trans healthcare available to minors, the overwhelming majority are trans kids who do not detransition or regret anything they do to transition. The kid you are “protecting” is that “confused cis kid” who is vastly outnumbered by genuinely trans children who will become transgender adults. By withholding blockers (at the minimum), you are sacrificing the well being of the overwhelming users of blockers, genuinely trans children, for the sake of the wellbeing of an almost non existent subgroup of confused cis kids.

How many trans kids lives are worth sacrificing so that one cis kid might not accidentally do something totally reversible that might increase their risk of cancer the same amount as eating bacon?

When you put it all together like that and the outcome is still a desire to prevent access, one has to ask: maybe the point is to make the trans kids suffer? Maybe the point is to make it harder for them to blend in with cis people? Maybe the point is to not treat their illness in hopes they give up and conform or kill themselves?

Why not password protect the keys (ala Linux ssh / gpg symmetric encryption for local storage of PPK)

Turbine should connect to loudspeaker to make this a closer system lol

Half the time I look on stack overflow it feels like the answer is irrelevant by todays standards

Yes let’s take the one thing the state famously does right and make it have the same problem every other state does.

Are you a bot lol. Colorado is weird but it votes for president primary during Super Tuesday but other positions have their primary in June. I do think Ken buck resigned to make it as inconvenient as possible for boebert. The party gets to pick the candidate for the primary, and she has to resign to run. They could manipulate her into resigning and not pick her to run lol I do feel like he is intentionally trying to sabotage her

Governor called a special election to coincide with the date of the primary in June. So the parties will pick two candidates and then CO-4 will pick a house rep for 6 months and then another election for a full term in November. The real question is if it means bobo the clown will leave her current seat to run which would mean two special elections. But first the party has to nominate her
