Ok, I don’t like making generalizations, but let’s play the game:
-
Dynamically typed programming languages are for babies.
-
Having depression is not being sad. Having anxiety is not being nervous. Mental health exists and it’s very complex.
-
We should start trating unhealthy use of social media as an actual addiction, and the platforms should be held accountable for the damage they have and still are causing.
-
Sometimes older people have actual knowledge and wisdom that is only gained by experiencing life, and younger people shuld learn to shut the fuck up some times and stop pretending they were born knowing everything.
-
You should have to get a special license to drive something as big as a modern pickup truck.
And you should have to have a justifiable reason to buy and own one.
And there should be restrictions on where they can be driven.
Basically most people shouldn’t have pickup trucks.
The only reason Americans started buying pick up trucks on mass is because of Tarifs put on Japanese car manufacturers in the 1970s and pick up trucks had no taxes on them suddenly became one of the cheapest and more affordable cars in the United States. Rick Wolf explained this somewhere I can’t remember where exactly.
There were also reduced fuel economy requirements for trucks and off-road vehicles, which contributed to the rise of SUVs.
It was on Volkswagen Transporter pick ups in the 1960s, in response to German taxes on imported US chicken.
Actually, full sized pick ups are not liable to light truck tariffs, but they have no market outside of the US.
I would go further. Most cars don’t belong in places where people live. They injure and kill people on the regular, the noise pollution causes mental and physical health problems, the light pollution disrupts sleep, the particulate pollution causes cardiovascular disease and dementia, as well as damaging ecosystems, driving adds to obesity and issues related to a sedentary lifestyle, the physical space they take leads to sprawl and ecosystem destruction, and the sprawl also bankrupts cities and towns. As well, driving in traffic just plain sucks as an activity, and makes people angry and miserable.
Love how the bed of the truck is basically the same size (if not smaller) as well so really you can’t use the excuse of needing the bigger truck for hauling stuff.
Where i live 9/10 they dont even have a hitch installed.
Id love a pickup…but it would be impractical, expensive to buy and run, the back space is basically useless cause even if you do put a cover on, the locks are crap. So I won’t be getting a pick up truck. Plus, where I live, it would go missing.
Its even worse in SEA. Some countries like Nam have these small dick pick-up driving shitheads but what they don’t have is America’s huge roads and streets.
Come to India. Seems like your dreamland.
I‘d love to move to India again. I just don’t know how I could get a job there. I don’t have any fancy degrees.
Alphebetizing by the “The” should be a criminal act.
Looking at you, Google Play Library.
Agree, as a further measure It should be criminal to name stuff with “the” to begin with.
This seemingly simple thing enrages me on a daily basis.
How difficult can it fucking be to write some damn code to omit “the” from sorting if it is the first word of a title? JFC
If “the” appears first, then “ignore” must surely be a thing, right??
Fans of The The in absolute shambles.
If I do not have or cannot easily get root access to a computer, I don’t really own it.
Owning a pug is animal cruelty
EDIT: adding bulldogs and other snub-nosed pets that wouldn’t exist without selective breeding by humans.
Even if it’s a rescue? Maybe breeding pugs (without trying to reverse the damage done to them) is pretty shitty, but I could see rescuing one is fine. I mean, what’s the other option, killing them all?
Fair, but it still fuels the market. Somebody rescues one. Somebody else sees it and wants one but can’t find a rescue or doesn’t want a rescue, and goes to a breeder.
I’m pretty sure that if someone wanted a pug, seeing one person who did a rescue wouldn’t be the tipping point.
And there are people who are trying, through breeding, to reverse the damage done to these poor animals.
So yeah, I think there are ethical ways to own a pug.
Dog breeds go through trends just like anybody else. Your fav valuable has a pug? You might want a pug. Maybe not you, but that’s how trends work. The aristocracy tells you what to like. That’s the whole reason they exist in the first place.
And there’s a trend to un fuck up pugs through breeding now, but you think that’s unethical as well because that’s still owning a pug.
I know about retro pugs. I’m only against owning snub-nosed pugs.
- No one should be allowed to own a second home until everyone has one.
- Static typing sucks.
Rather than banning that just tax the shit out of people who have multiple homes
We cAn tax them 1 home for every excess home and donate that home to a homeless person
You could just build housing with the revenue from taxing it
We don’t have a lack of housing. We have a distribution problem. We can’t just build infinitely, we need to redistribute.
What is your problem with static typing
I’m not super fond of dynamic typing either. I like untyped or uni-typed languages like ‘everything is an array’ (APL) or ‘everything is an integer’ (Forth, assembly).
I’m of the same opinion as Chuck Moore who once observed, “Strong typing merely creates errors so that they can be detected.” In my experience, the amount of complexity added by these systems is staggering. To such a degree that they cause more errors than they prevent. More types, more opportunities to use them incorrectly, after all.
I also prefer the ‘build the program while it’s running’ workflow, which is inhibited by static typing.
One time I found a C++ library where everything was of a single type, the “untype” essentially. It removed all type safety, in other words, to allow pure binary access to all data. I mean, there’s an occasion now and then when one needs that sort of thing, but I found in every case it was just a headache. Now I know there’s two people like that, haha.
Well, I don’t agree with you, but I respect a hot take about coding when I see one. My own a-little-less-spicy-than-yours take is that OOP is overated.
Apple products aren’t any better than anything else, it’s just marketing and branding. They’re like the Starbucks of computers.
I would argue they are worse! I had iPhones and a MacBook Pro for years. Switched to Android, Windows, and Linux. Apple is great for people who want a device that just works out of the box, but those devices can’t be tweaked to better fit your personal needs. Many features that have been present on personal devices for decades are blocked on Apple devices. They even make up terms like “side loading” so it sounds like you are doing something immoral. Downloading an application from whatever source of your choosing should be #1 feature of any device. As far as I know, you can only download apps from Apple’s own store now. All iPhone browsers are reskinned Safari. Apple refuses to adopt existing standards so that users feel inclusive when they see blue texts over green. The list feels endless…
heh it truly depends on a lot of factors. I don’t want to “cheap out” on a high-end windows laptop, their thermals are shit, the battery life is non-existent, the keyboard is trash, and the computer frame are rarely decent.
A macbook is expensive, yes, but I’ve never experienced having to doubt the hardware, or get weird issues with it. It’s a peace of mind I’m willing to pay a premium for. I even have a mac mini as a server for the extremely low power consumption & extremely good CPU performance (seriously, this thing competes with i9s for a fraction of the power (I’m exclusively interested in single thread applications))
As for iphones & apple watches, I like to tinker with my stuff way too much for them to make sense to me (which my macbook allows me to do as much as I want)
I’m exclusively talking about my experience with apple silicon, idk how it was before the M1 chips came out.
You should use your blinker when turning into a parking space
And you should back in.
Summer is a crappy season, fall is superior.
The best season is the short window in spring where it’s warm out but the bugs aren’t out yet.
I forgot to mention. If you use country balls to explain something I’m not taking you seriously.
-Businesses should be run by people who are passionate about the giving a great product and/or service and not some shitty MBA who only except 10x return on his investment.
Congrats, you are a communist!
. The race of a voice actor doesn’t matter
The race and gender of an actor don’t matter. Ask Shakespeare
-for humanity to survive, it must eliminate the rich
-pineapple can go on pizza. You can put whatever you want on pizza. You don’t have to like it for it to be a valid topping. Some people just hate things because they heard about it online.
-new York pizza is not the best pizza in the universe.
- the people who want to change the date of celebrating Halloween to the last Saturday of October (or anything similar) are childhood hating assholes who think that it’s more important to keep the capitalistic society going than celebration human culture. They would rather things be convenient for them and their bosses than to let people celebrate things when they please. There’s also probably a bias against non Christian religions. If you find it inconvenient you should be mad at the system that makes it inconvenient for you to do something on a Tuesday night, not a holiday that’s centuries older than your job. Work should work around holidays not the other way around.
You don’t have to like it for it to be a valid topping.
That’s a hill you will die on from old age. I have never once heard someone say pineapple is not a valid topping in a way I thought was meant to be taken literally and not as an exaggerated way of saying “I don’t like it”.
Some nice cold grape jelly goes very well on a hot slice of pepperoni. The sweetness and greasyness just go so well together.
For me that sounds exactly as appealing as using pineapple.
Pineapple is fine on pizza in small amounts. Sliced tomatoes don’t belong on pizza because they are mostly water and make the pizza soggy.

Not only is Gacha a bad game monetization from a consumers perspective, the moment it’s implemented the game is shit, and you should be ashamed to play it.
I dont care about Genshin’s cultural impact, Fortnite’s mechanical depth or how hot the latest team fortress character is, you should always have the thought of supporting the indefensible in the back of your head while playing them and consider it a guilty pleasure. Meaning: keep your damn pulls to yourself!
And since I used to say it too: “You can absolutely play without paying money” isn’t an argument when you need to pay with time instead, doing dailies is a chore, not leisure.
Genshin’s cultural impact? I guess I am out of touch, I have no idea what it is and just now had to look up gacha lol
You’re shifting the blame to individuals. Gacha games and gacha mechanics are gambling and should be banned.
