With all the junior devs he surrounds himself with, I'd expect him to be sick of XSS by now.

Not in an emotional way, but like digesting news from around the world and seeing logically we are fucked so may as well just quit?

I would challenge that belief.

Things are bad, sure. Climate is gonna change, people are gonna fight and die over the dumbest shit, and billionaires are going to loot any public good they can get their hands on.

But good people are still fighting. It's a lot less top-down and much less visible, but it's happening. Lives can still be saved, the damage can still be mitigated, and the bad guys can still be meaningfully opposed. Things can change quickly!

We have to keep in mind that the news is never gonna be good. Even when it isn't a glorified right-wing propaganda machine, it's a business that thrives on attention. And things that make you sad or scared or angry are always gonna grab your attention more than anything else.

We're not getting hit by a giant meteor. We're not all irrecoverably fucked. It's better to prepare for an uncertain better future than give up preemptively!

It burns my ass that some folks actually bought the whole "Trump doesn't support Project 2025" bullshit. I cannot imagine being such a gullible, credulous moron.

I would create a device that could locate any missing object. Go treasure hunting to make a living, and help find missing people / pets when I can.

This is the song that got me into them back in high school!

Put the man who envisioned a stateless and currency-less society on a state-issued currency? Still a better pick than Jackson.

The core of communism is having a stateless, classless, moneyless society.

None of them want that, nor did any of the states they support achieve it.

PREACH.

I've had to explain this one to some friends and family.

North Korea calls themselves a democracy. But we can all agree that when there's only one motherfucker on the ballot, what you have is NOT a democracy, right? Calling yourself something doesn't make it true.

So when a country calls themselves communist but has suicide nets on their fucking factories, the same shit applies. Communism has a definition, and a society can fail to meet that definition while still claiming to be communist.

You may also want to check the extruder arm. The stock plastic one on the ender 3 is prone to cracking.

This is me. Wife and I both lost our jobs, fascist got elected, cat got out yesterday. Shit has been hard.

I really love the difference between how the dealer uses items and how the player does. You smash the magnifying glass and check the chamber; the dealer smashes it and looks through it, somehow seeing through the gun. The dealer cuffs you to the table; you hand the cuffs to the dealer for it to cuff itself. You turn on the mysterious device that turns a blank into a live round; the dealer simply smashes it.

It really sells that you're dealing with some other-worldly entity that isn't overly concerned about getting shot with a shotgun.

"Hey, people with too much money and power tend to become anti-human psychopaths. We should probably re-arrange society to avoid this problem."

"Yeah, a dictatorship sounds like exactly the solution to that!"
