People keep saying that the insults to Puerto Ricans at the nazi rally was an unforced error but…I think it was exactly what it looked like. A hateful statement meant to signal a disregard for votes. It was “Don't you hate those people? That trash? You can say it! You can say that! See? Here I am at MSG saying it openly!”Please don't pretend that they are trying to play the political game and not, you know, violently take over the country.
Well… one reason that software requires maintenance is that we aren't allowed to keep the context that it runs in stable. If we don't have to update OS's or standards or whatever other vectors for instability, software *doesn't* require maintenance. Old game cartridges are a good example. yes, batteries and other *physical* aspects wear out but an old NES could run fine today if it was kept in nice condition.
@[email protected] to be honest, I’m pretty grossed out by them as well. I have a somewhat visceral reaction to them that tends to make me hate both the product and the people in the ad.
@griotspeak @js @rjmccallYeah, Ruby Enumerable’s map is the same as map on collections in Swift (and Rust, Java, Javascript, Scheme, etc etc); it’s not an alias for function composition.
@griotspeak It’s an absolutely bonehead response. And I realize that every politician is and must be a product of their electorate – and who knows what this guy’s electorate is like — but dammit, you find find a better way. You just do.In the meantime, Democrats in Minnesota were selling a trans flag Minnesota shirt front and center at the State Fair. It’s not like it’s impossible for a major party to publicly stick up for queer people. Can be done, folks!
I genuinely believe that Biden should—on every television outlet available—implore congress to reconvene. Do it in a way that is completely clear to regular people who don't completely understand politics. Highlight who has the power to call congress back in to session and why you are asking that they do so. https://mastodon.social/@Dhmspector/113266070674107492
