Have to acknowledge my own position too. I really want to do something but I just had a kid and bad as it gets, my top priority is caring for him.

This. Plus, plenty of us don't have the energy after working multiple jobs just to keep their family surviving, which is what they want, unfortunately.

Huh? I'm out of the loop on Homestar Runner legacy drama, apparently.

Hell, at this point I can think of at least a dozen prominent figures that I wouldn't mind seeing experience a bit of crib death if I had a time machine.

Just wait until we get the agency for the Treasury, Housing, Economics, General Administration and Market Enforcement

How many teens you think can actually read and understand legacy languages like FORTRAN and COBOL? Let alone a complex codebase written in them?

I studied COBOL a bit in college and it's not exactly hard to read short snippets if you understand other languages, but good luck wrapping your head around anything remotely complex and actually understand what it is doing without having someone who understands the language. Hell, 15-20 years on and multiple languages later, my eyes still cross trying to read and grok COBOL. The people supporting those old code bases get paid well for a reason ...

I really appreciated him saying 'I don't want yes men, I need people to call me on my bullshit, but I'm calling you out on yours'.

I read through the next few replies, and it seems like the anti-rust maintainer just has an axe to grind and can't stand people working in a language they don't understand.

I'm fairly left as well, and whenever I brought up strategic voting I was swatted down with "genocide" like the other person. I was event told by multiple "lefty" users that they hoped Trump won just so it would hurt the democratic party and "teach them a lesson". No matter that we'd be pouring gas on the fire and bringing shit home, they still had to TeAcH tHeM a LeSsOn. Ugh.

The only people who hate leftists more than rightoids are other leftists, and its for shit like that. Moral purity over pragmatism is no different than fanaticism in my eyes. As much as we may hate electoralism, its the only way to work within the system and not let fascists take over. But here we are.

Yet somehow, they're the darling of the gaming scene.

It's fucking bizarre.

It's really not bizarre at all. You wanna know why game enthusiasts like valve? Take the list the other guy gave you and find a store that has close to half of the features steam offers. Add in great hardware support (my controller and my deck are some of the best experiences I've had), and a healthy dose of actually making Linux gaming viable for the average person, and it's obvious AF why game enthusiasts like valve.

Even if they can't count to 3.

That logic doesn't make sense if you do am as well though, since 4 am (ante meridian, before midday) is not 4 hours before midday.

Some of them are outright ridiculous. Like one of the protein cookie brands I like, 80% of the time I have to hulk out and end up ripping the packaging to shreds. We also see it on chip packages and cereal bags at times too. It's crazy.

Trump will try and purge all non loyalist officers from the military. That could lead to a fracturing of the military.

We should ask what happens when there are a large amount of military trained men that are suddenly let loose and returned to the population, but I can't think of a single time that's happened........
