When I was in Paris a few years ago, it was such an inversion of the rest of my experience in Europe. Anywhere else, english was the language where me and anyone would be best able to communicate. Many times in Paris, my wretched French was the most effective way to communicate and I am genuinely sorry to everyone involved in that.

Best advice I got about parenting wasn’teven about parenting necessarily, it was about interacting with other adults. I got it shortly before I became a parent myself: “Listen to advice, but understand everyone is full of shit”

People love to speak in absolutes. Nobody speaks about adults like they’re a simple 1+1=2 equation but will absolutely insist children are that simple.

Which is frankly insane. Its the opposite. Culture homogonizes us, adults are much simpler than children, they’ve spent a lifetime being battered into a societal mould. Kids are still exactly themselves.

I’m really glad I got that advice, or reading through these miserable catty comments from people who clearly have all the answers would be really harmful.

Bro Grimmace is just 1337

I feel like a lot of people start from a conclusion and work backwards to find the justification.

My point is that if you shouldn’t be paying anyone for shitty comments.

I’m baffled at how the author just glosses over how the emoji for 5 doesn’t work “because functions can’t start with a number”.

This seems to imply there is some kind of textual substitution going on, which further implies I could call an emoji named function by some other plaintext name.

When you start to bump into any of these concerns, I’d recommending extracting the functions themselves, rather than breaking the pipeline… which was not something mentioned or explored.

You’re not wrong.

I just don’t think that’s part of the western experience of things so “plain” that they need not be said.

Someone even with severely impeded mental capacity could still snap back an answer to “is stealing wrong”. Like, legitimate dementia.

“Is hoarding applied covetus?”, probably won’t get the same snappy answer.

It’s just in a different league in terms of being ingrained in us so deeply we don’t even realize it.

I’m angry at social science. Just not about this specifically.

The actual answer is that in western culture, it’s generally taken as a given that stealing is wrong. It’s in the 10 commandments.

“Hoarding” doesn’t hold the same position in western mythos.

Applying pressure to an assumed moral certainty (thou shalt not steal) is fundamentally interesting. Applying pressure to a position where people don’t hold culturally ethical baggage (hoarding) is much less so.

//assign a as a function of aa,aaa,A,a3, and a2

Nailed it

So… indistinguishable from the statistical mean of human generated comments.

Jfc the wh ack’d meme propaganda? Just handing out Ws to thier adversaries. Art of War over here.

Trump makes original terrible post and people he needs to not hate it hates it: Loss 1

After quietly deleting it, Trump goes maximum dementia saying he thought it was a doctor and that actually makes it worse: L2

Iran shows up and fucking dunks on him hard: L3

WH acknowledges it, sounds like giant pussies in the process: L4

Everyone is reminded about the original series of events again: L5

Unforced error after Unforced error after Unforced error. It terrifies me how even a sliver of competence would make his administration incalculable more dangerous.

I got a LITTLE bit further than you.

Boils down to “make the ‘close enough’ number have some real meaning in your domain instead of just picking an arbitrarily small one”

… at least to my read. Again, like you, didn’t finish.

To be fair the overton window in Canada has shifted significantly in the last 20 years. Carney and Harper are roughly the same brand of neoliberalism.

Don’t get me wrong, PP is a disaster. But the left, anything even remotely resembled the left, has essentially crumbled to dust… and everything just drifts right.

Like, who loves gutting environmental protections, consultation process, omnibus bills, and advancing surveillance and police powers?

The only difference between them is who the “other guy” was/is. Harper was 100x worse than Layton. PP is 100x worse than Carney.

You don’t hire a company man to be CEO for the same reason you send out-of-state national guard to put down a protest.

This is actually the type of questions on the dementia tests (that he keeps calling “intelligence tests”) that he keeps saying that he’s “acing”

They should do a limited trial. Maybe just start with factorio?

Oh, ok yah. It might not be vim. It could literally be anything. I just thought I’d missed something

It’s a rare but not unheard of scenario for a US citizen to serve as a foreign head of state. A brief read makes it sound like a thorny issue. The US could theoretically attempt to strip his citizenship. Sounds like there was a Supreme Court decision in 1980 that would make that difficult… but there is a new Supreme Court.
