Just keep developing with it, you’ll get CTE soon.

I also am not familiar with javascript anymore…precisely because of this, exact, insane bullshit.

B… and/or C… evaluating as FALSE are the only things that… should even kind of make sense, according to my brain.

Though at this point in my life, I have unironically had a good number of concussions and contusions, so … well you’d think that would help with JS development.

Javascript is insanity, and I am still convinced it is at least 40% responsible for Notch losing his goddamned mind.

‘null’ is somehow an object. because fuck you, thats why!

Is… 0 == ‘’ … is that two single quotes ’ ’ ?

Or one double quote " ?

If… it is one double quote… that wouldn’t even evaluate, as it would just be an empty string without a defined end…

But if it was two single quotes… that would just be a proper empty string… and because of forced type coercion, both 0 and ‘’ are FALSE when compared with ==, but not when compared with ===, because that ignores forced type coercion…

Oh my fucking god WHY?!

Just fucking use one special character to delimit strings!

Don’t have two that don’t work together and also behave differently even when you pick just one of them… GraaaghhH!

brb, figuring out where Larry Ellison lives…

Alternatively:

Fix described here: www.nonsenseurl.com/bugforum/4839483#comments

… And then you read through the entire thread, and its 30 people complaining about the same problem, the person who linked you this very url fixing it for one particular person’s scenario, and then 4837 more comments of ‘still broken’.

… And I am saving this comment, as you have well voiced the madness of all of this experienced in particular by high-functioning / highly-intelligent Autistic children.

A short summary of how Ive felt much of my life would be: constantly being mocked and belittled by hypocritical idiots who are too stupid to realize they are hypocritical and have totally logically inconsistent worldviews, and inconsistent applications of them… as well as just that they are idiots in the sense of just being objectively wrong about most things.

…

Yeah, it is quite cathartic to realize that masses of the general public are themselves, and voted into power officials who… are just literally schoolyard bullies, absurd, malignant, anti-social narcissists who literally cannot concieve that they could ever have any flaws or ever be in error, who are actually incapable of empathy, of mirroring emotions of others experiencing or describing something that did not happen to them personally.

…

I no longer mask.

There is no point, and it is too exhausting to be expected to be some kind of mind reader.

If people can’t actually succinctly verbalize their thoughts, or express them in writing, that’s their problem, not mine.

Just say what you actually mean.

Use your words, and know what those words actually mean.

I am done learning how to be an interpreter for every different person I meet.

Its the age old problem of government:

Anyone who strongly desires to be in a position of power likely is not the kind of person you would want in a position of power.

I appreciate you saying that though. =D

Impostor syndrome is basically the inverse of the Dunning Kruger effect, as it is known in popular culture.

If you actually read the actual studies by Dunning and Kruger, and subsequent work based off of it:

Idiots consistently wildly overestimate their correctness.

… But people who actually are quite correct, quite competent… well they actually tend to self evaluate themselves as somewhat less competent than they actually are.

Because humility and a fundamental idea of ‘i could be wrong’ are foundational to a rigourous system of critical thinking that can actually allow for that true, detailed knowledge to be gained.

So, ironically, Dunning Kruger effect also describes more or less impostor syndrome, its just that that isn’t the aspect of those kinds of studies that pop culture focuses on…

So we now have a situation where understanding of the ‘Dunning Kruger effect’ itself is subject to the ‘Dunning Kruger effect.’

I am only hesitant to agree because:

1: I have terrible social anxiety (yay autism and trauma)

2: I assume, at least, some of them are competent people… at… at least something.

That being said, I also cannot think of a single one who falls into category 2.

Hrmm.

Sorry, due to ‘gestures vaguely’ whatever, they’re expired, moldy Feastables, brought to you By Mr Beast Burger

The fucking clownshow continues.

This is you going in to your Professor’s office hours to ostensibly turn in your final paper for a course, it is half your grade in the class, and you actually just sit down and explain you are ‘still working on it’ and ‘can i get it to you maybe by the end of next academic quarter?’

I am honestly so, so relieved by this high level public idiocy.

I really am not kidding.

I’ve struggled with impostor syndrome much of my life.

All gone. Done. No more.

I am legitimately more competent than almost everyone in this administration at their own jobs, despite the fact that I hardly have any relevant credentials to most of their positions.

Bazzite docs repeatedly say ‘do not do that, it will lead to system instability as we update and improve the feature set of our custom rpm-ostree that is the backbone and fundamental core of what Bazzite is.’

It is supposed to be a static, locked down, readonly core OS, just like SteamOS.

Its just based on fedora instead of arch, and has a bunch of other customizations and tweaks and preconfigured apps and helper tools.

So… Trump has scared off the significant numbers of … well just any kind of immigrant, legal or illegal… farm laborers…

Cancelled a bunch of farmer loan assistance programs…

… And started a tariff trade war that makes it essentially impossible for them to… import needed materiel, export harvests… or even be able to plan for a future scenario with any kind of new established, solid trade paradigm.

… Man we’re all gonna starve, fucking great.

EDIT: Do not know how this did not occur to me initially:

American holodomor, anyone?

hehheheh

Mike Lindell has a lawyer?

That’s the real news to me.

Anyway, I’m sure Mr. Lindell, noted cybersecurity expert and crack addict, will figure this out in due time.

Bankrupted 3 casinos.

Three.

Casinos.

The deported child could literally do a better job by doing literally nothing.

God fucking damnit I really thought this was an Onion article.

They’re climbing up from B6 to B2 or B1 lol.

I will be shocked if the Dem establishment doesn’t run Newsom and do their damndest to ratfuck AOC like they did with Bernie.

Sure, there’s a lot of time between now and a theoretical 2028 presidential cycle…

But I have learned to set expectations pessimistically and be surprised in the optimism direction, not the other way around.
