Harris stretches lead over Trump in what could be significant increase
  • The electoral college favors Republicans but the narrative that “no one really votes for Republicans” is fucking bullshit

    Yes, they tend to lose the popular vote but even then % wise, it’s way closer than it should be.

    The way you phrase it, makes it seem like they are a fringe group that through cheating manages to win even if they only have half as many votes as the Democrats.

    They are popular even with, or perhaps actually because of, all of the racism, sexism and fascist tendencies. Do not downplay that.

  • Still, not as many people listen to older bands even if they are fans and especially for older bands people tend to listen more in other mediums

    Take any videoclip from YouTube for example of any of the greatest song that is a 3, 4, 5 decades old and it will have far less views than a mild reggaeton hit from last summer, even if the old song has had far longer to accumulate views

  • French woman responds with outrage after lawyers suggest she consented to a decade of rape
  • Fuck in a way I also feel bad for the defense layers. Like I’m pretty sure none of the want to defend these rapist pieces of shit, but in a way they have to in order for the system to function properly. Imagine having to defend rapists and falsely accused “rapists” in the same way, with the same effort and determination. I’m sure I couldn’t do it

  • 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix - [POST RACE] discussion thread 🏁
  • He had like 25 laps with Leclerc behind him AND with DRS. Every lap I was look at that interval timer and it was close to 0.6s which meant an overtake opportunity or it was almost 1.0s which would have broken the tow.

    Then LECs tyres fell HARD. The crash at the end was crazy (haven’t seen Perez’s replay but it seemed like his fault), however I feel like the last two laps would have been bonkers and I think Leclerc would have finished 4th.

  • Sorry to be a downer, but this is a really good point.
  • The point of the post is that if Trump had said that he wanted to kill every immigrant at gun point, there wouldn’t be any jokes or memes about it, because it’s a dangerous statement that would be taken seriously by anyone.

    By making memes about him saying immigrants are eating dogs and cats, then we are “signaling” that what he said isn’t terrifyingly dangerous, we’re taking it as ridiculous and funny and not to be worried about. And that plays a role in normalizing all the stupid shit he has been saying.

    As a disclaimer, Trump is a piece of shit and I am DEFINITELY NOT saying both sides are bad (I fucking hate that argument). But the argument in the post is a valid one. Of course there are also some upsides to the memes. First they are funny but they also cause those words to reach out to more people which hopefully has an effect in terms of voting against him

  • Flexible
  • Not to excuse the fault the democrats and especially Biden has on the situation in Gaza, but “don’t both sides” this shit.

    Not only is “but Trump” an actual valid argument for about a million issues, Trump would absolutely steamroll the genocide in Gaza to even worse metrics. So not even in that 1 metric are the republicans a better option

  • Is GitHub Copilot worth it to you?
  • The autocomplete is amazing

    It just takes the mental strain out of syntax and I can focus more on the logic and structure of the code

    Like you said much better for writing unit tests, but also for log messages and comments

    Even the chat is sometimes useful but not as much. I treat it as much junior engineer assistant/rubber duck. I.e. I never completely accept what it outputs and usually review everything but quite often it gives me a different idea/approach even if it doesn’t write it 100% correct the first time. Because I always review it, having it autocomplete the next line is my preferred approach so I verify each line as they come.

    Once you start to past 10/20+ lines in a row you will have a bad time.

  • Love your comments. Keep them up

    Also if there’s a place to follow you, especially closer to the election let me know

    I recently joined mastodon and follow almost no one there, so if you are there with these analysis definitely let me know

  • Baldur’s Gate 3 - Discussion Post #3

    How are everyone’s stories coming along? Have you finished the game? If so how many times?

    What tips, remarks or other things of note do you have that you want to discuss here?

    As always try to keep things as spoiler free as possible.

    Also should I do these posts more regularly (shows up on people’s feeds more and so has more traction) or like this is fine. Definitely don’t want to spam people.

    Lucky rolls to you all!

    Baldur’s Gate 3 - Discussion post #1

    I figured we should have a post for random thoughts, questions and other comments that people might want to do without having to create a new post just for that.

    Do people agree this idea? We can have these up (possibly pinned) for a while. Maybe a few days, at most a week.

    Please keep discussion spoiler free, unless you are using the appropriate tags.

    Cheers!!
