Close enough. Ban him.

You are more than welcome to choose from one of the pre-prepared opinions that we have on offer here… no need to bring anything new to the table and confuse such an obviously binary subject.

I’d call it a cultural artifact. We used to get married very young. In some cultures the kids are introduced to sex by the grandparents. And of course in our own culture the ideal of sexy beauty is a supermodel who looks like a 13 year old boy. It’s a whirlwind wrapped in a psychosis for sure.

I chalk this up to not having a word to describe folks suffering from the condition as opposed to predators acting on their condition (or even predators just abusing children regardless of attraction). For a ton of people they use the word pedophile to mean someone who sexually abuses children. Because as soon as nuanced discussion about “pedophiles who don’t abuse kids” come up, people accuse you of “defending pedophiles” but they use it to mean “defending people who abuse children.”

Depends what you use it for. If you are trying to provide something informational, I do not trust chat gpt.

If you use it to respond to work emails because they force communication for the sake of communication, then its fine.

This is my answer too. It’s crazy how much hate a tool can get

If you only use it for cheating in work that won’t be read by a human anyways, it’s great!

Economics doesn’t seem as big of a thing as the other 3. Anyone who’s nerdy enough to talk economics without making it political could probably have a pretty good discussion. I vote we change it to Elephants. Religion, Abotion, Politics, Elephants, or Rape.

So what’s your favourite kind of rape?

Medically assisted suicide is pretty widely accepted in Canada, in my experience. Pro non medically assisted suicide or young suicide is different, maybe.

Oh that is a good one. Thanks.

I wouldn’t mind switching to alternative libraries like Svelte or Solid but can’t imagine going back to plain Javascript for complex applications. It’s a pain in the ass, even with jQuery.

Angular my beloved…

What’s wrong with it if I may ask?

I think what started me down the anti-React path was realizing that there were other frameworks out there that don’t even use a virtual dom. Plus you get tired of being told that the most obvious and intuitive way to do various things in React actually goes against some best practice that they’ve established.

Maybe I’m just old school, but I’m two spaces for life. I will die on this fucking hill. If you use tabs after just a couple indents all the code is off screen. I ain’t trying to scroll in two dimensions all the time.

+1 for the video issue, or any other “just do [insert a bunch of work here], it’s less work than commenting anyways” kinda stuff

Who the fuck uses pluses as bullet points in their markdown!?

+ Here’s video without text summary

I really don’t get why people get so upset about that. We don’t get summaries on Youtube either but still watch the videos.

It’s possible it’s for other reasons, though. Black Americans are generally poorer than other Americans, and success in sports is a ticket out of poverty that is accessible to people in that position. It could also be a cultural thing; I doubt Finns are genetically predisposed to be exceptional drivers, but they are still wildly over-represented at the top level of motorsports for such a small population

That breeding programme called natural selection is what got us all here.

I’d believe it if a good portion of black americans I’ve seen are tall and muscular, but I’d say their proportions are similar to their white american counterparts, i.e. a spectrum.

I think they just want it more, and its one of the few paths to success they have.

I heard that a similar breeding program happened in some African cultures back in the day. Like you could only breed if you were an alpha hunter or somesuch.

So that’s how you get a race of 7’ tall dudes

i think much more likely is the opposite happened. Europeans inbred themselves into infirmity and have simply yet to recover from all that nonsense fully hundreds of years later. As a pastey removed myself i can say the amount of genetic conditions i have is mind boggling. Its not that POC are especially good at sports its that white people are especially bad.

Excellent name

I know it’s very on the nose and has other themes in it. But the root cause is all the same. Reagan. This is the song I thought of reading the post:

I don’t necessarily agree with everything said in the song, but I think we can all agree (to quote the song) “I’m glad Reagan dead”.

They’ve caused a lot of damage though restricting access would likely help with that. (Things like this usually get quite a few downvotes in my experience tbh so maybe it goes both ways)

My pretty spontaneous solution compromise would be to legalize more things but keep them well regulated to avoid addiction and transition to similar regulations for already legal drugs. This seems like a solution that more people would be happy with. Obviously there would need to be help for people already addicted at least for drugs with similar withdrawal symptoms as alcohol.

Is this not a relatively mainstream belief?

But jobs

I don’t think this one should be as controversial as it is.

For what it’s worth, I’ve personally never found it controversial to talk about in person. And this includes in countries where it’s a prosecuted crime.

Copying is not theft, artificial scarcity in the digital world is a tragedy, and I intentionally avoid paying middle-men distributors (like streaming services and record companies) for art.

Add some jalapeño as well to take it to another level
