That is so… horr… wonderful!! 😂

Damn bro. You good?

You’re doing better than I am.

I know people. We get along. But friends? Nope.

90’s TV Drama

Keep it topical. There are other places for this.

My 13 yo son finally got to see the big dipper this summer. I feel ashamed.

I felt that in my sole.

I typically stick with what I say, for better or for worse. But I have deleted maybe two comments in the past; usually because I recognized how poorly I reacted and felt the person didn’t deserve my stupidity.

C, C++, Java, Rust, and likely hundreds of others. But if you’re interested in editing videos and creating 3D models, then likely you’re not looking for a language, but an existing software like After Effects, Blender, or any CAD (computer-aided design) software; unless you want to write your own software to do video editing and 3D modeling, but that’s not what you said. But if that is the case, you may want to start smaller and work your way up.

I don’t think I understand the question, or rather what you want for an answer.

Programming has created everything you can do on or with a computer, which includes devices like watches, phones, TVs, video games and consoles, coffee makers (apparently), and even light bulbs; just to name a very small amount of computer devices.

Hell, someone has even ported Doom to bacteria.

I think the better question is what can’t you do with programming?

Someone took the idiom from the 00’s that “you can run linux on your coffee machine” too far.

If I had a nickel for every time someone made this comment, I’d be able to buy one of those bathroom items for 90% off! 😅

~I’d also like a free fruit pie. Cherry, maybe? 🤔~

I never trusted stairs anyway. They were always up to something. Don’t get me started on elevators either. They will just let you down.

Dare I say, you likely fell victim to your own criticism.

I look at it as the person is crawling away from the attackers. 🤷‍♂️

I love the irony of your mentality:

Don’t vote for anybody because genocide/rape. And by not voting, the genociders and rapists win.

Tell ya what, since you seem to have all the a answers, I’d genuinely love to hear what you do to fix our problems? Aside of the above “not voting” advice.

It doesn’t help that the two big parties made it so that only the two big parties get coverage at debates and other nationally televised stuff.

There is also the problem that for presidential elections, the electoral college are the ones who actually choose the president. And, while the college usually chooses based on the will of the people, they are by no means obligated to do so.

There are, of course, other issues too. But it is worth reiterating that it is not my, nor your, fault that things are the way they are.

~I do lay a lot of blame these days on Alito and Citizens United.~

I respectfully disagree. But I acknowledge that everything you said can be true. That also means what you said can be wrong. It’s all about the delivery.

You just told me everything I need to know about you. 👍

How so?

We the people are the victims of a two party system that suppresses our will due to corporate interests. The dems are not innocent in this problem. They are the lesser of two evils, but they are still considered evil (e.g., Kyrsten Sinema, John Fetterman, Chuck Schumer, et all). Meaningful change by us normal people is intentionally difficult; not impossible, I admit, and people Like Mamdani are helping, but the bar is set very high and very expensive.

“…[my] choosing…” is blaming me (and every American) for things I fundamentally have no control over. I do what I can locally, but AOC, Mamdani, and Bernie I am not.

It also really sucks when a member of congress from some other state/district pushes and enacts some imposing change that affects people in other states/districts, and the people in the other states/districts can only write letters/make calls to their reps and if they’re lucky they may receive back some canned form letter written by a staffer. I’m projecting on that one, but I suspect my state and district aren’t unique in that problem.

So yeah, I ask again, how so?
