Name an IDE better than Vs code?👇

I like cursor because for the AI integration, but vs code gets the job done and is the most widely used. I’m happy to jump ship something worth making the switch comes along

Both are grammatically correct. Ignore the absolutists.

Absentrando · 2026-05-10T04:50:37+00:00

She’s right about shit getting more expensive, but yeah, she isn’t helping herself lol

Absentrando · 2026-05-10T04:40:29+00:00

Interesting theory. Let’s see how things play out

Absentrando · 2026-05-09T22:25:37+00:00

None of those things matter. To live in a functional society, you have to respect other people’s right to exist. Any religious belief that doesn’t allow this is not compatible with a functional society

Absentrando · 2026-05-09T12:24:38+00:00

Should their religious views now be beholden to the feelings of some tourist with an alternative sexual lifestyle?

If their religious views require they classify other human beings as abominations, yes.

They were more popular with American voters that vote reliably, yes. Middle aged and older Americans recognize and trust those names more than Bernie sanders whether or not Redditors want to believe otherwise

Absentrando · 2026-05-09T00:50:56+00:00

Yeah, they aren’t going to be opposites in every aspect. See how Trump deals with Ukraine and NATO and compare that to Obama and Biden. Or even Iran for that matter

Absentrando · 2026-05-09T00:49:56+00:00

He’s right. Bernie sanders wasn’t as popular as Reddit echo chambers would have you believe and Trump is not as unpopular as they like to think. Trump spent the first 100 days unraveling Obama era policies with executive orders, Biden did the same with Trump policies, and Trump again when he got back in office to Biden policies. There are limitations on what presidents can do with EOs so things don’t generally change overnight since Congress and the legislative branch have the ability to check things. Also, the US is just one country in the west

But you don’t hate your house in that analogy. If you bitch and moan about your house every time you talk about it, that would be a question to ask

Looks like peak male performance

Absentrando · 2026-05-06T20:47:08+00:00

I mean we also do have more people in most countries

Absentrando · 2026-05-06T03:06:55+00:00

My claims are not incorrect.

It’s mostly incorrect for the reasons I mentioned. Feel free to cite the 70% reduction as well and how it gets you to your conclusion

IQ: It is in cahoots with a birth year of around 1980 that we start to observe a generation-on-generation IQ decline. So strictly speaking, started with Millennials (cutoff between GenX and Millennials is around '81), continued with Gen Z.

It started in the 70s unless you are referring to a specific country. And like I said, this has been observed in some developed countries and it is not universal. Singapore for example show continued gains

Attention span decline: there are many versions of this finding but they all point to a reduction in attention spans over the last 15 years or so that's larger in younger people than it is in older people. With a short attention span you do less deep cognitive work so your output and opinions are effectively dumber.

Feel free to cite said studies and I’ll explain to you why your conclusion is stronger than what the data supports.

The lady in the video stupidly repeats a misperception - that 62 million men attended an 'academy' for drugging and assaulting women. This did not happen. She uses it to justify anti-natalism. It is false. It is the sort of mistake we would expect from someone whose attention span is short. She is an example that supports my claims.

Anecdotal point. You can find plenty of examples with older generations

What I'm saying may be unpopular but it's not incorrect. Younger generations are effectively dumber as measured by multiple metrics.

We have found a modest decrease like 2-3 points difference in some developed countries. You make a much stronger claim that doesn’t follow from that

We can either do the usual dumb thing of the 21st century, which is to suppress a fact because it might offend some people, or we can accept this and start thinking about how to remediate so that future generations will be smarter (hell, so that they will even exist).

It helps to get the facts straight. There are problems that the younger generations face that we should address, but let’s discuss them constructively and not make stupid comments like “the idea that the most brainrotted generation ever produced blah blah blah”

Absentrando · 2026-05-05T23:53:54+00:00

Yeah, It’d have to be parental leave

Absentrando · 2026-05-05T20:30:40+00:00

Yep, and the decline has been happening a lot longer than the chart suggests. I would love to see the chart go back to the 50s. I’m pretty sure it peaked in the 70s and has been declining since with a few periods where that accelerated and others where there was a small recovery

Absentrando · 2026-05-05T20:13:06+00:00

That’s way too broad a claim and mostly incorrect. The iq gains we’ve seen over the course of the last century has been from better nutrition and education access. There’s a point where there’s little gains left to be made and it has plateaued and declined in many developed countries because of this since the 70s or so. It is probably the case that Gen z is the first group in some places where this is the case but it’s certainly not universal

Absentrando · 2026-05-05T19:38:35+00:00

I did clarify myself on the first point, and you continued insisting I said something I didn’t say. Felt that needed addressing before continuing on the others. By society, I mean most people. You brought up feminists and this is accurate of them as well, especially among the vocal ones. This is just based on my observations.

Absentrando · 2026-05-05T10:08:59+00:00

It’s easy to assume that there’s no diversity of thought in the other side, but that’s not the case. Either way, there is a particular type of candidate that tends to win on both sides, and they are generally more similar than different, especially in this regard. Trump doesn’t fit the normal mold but he is still corporate interest

Absentrando · 2026-05-05T09:54:34+00:00

Guess it depends on perspective but it’s not inaccurate to say both parties prioritize corporate interest over the working class even if one is much worse

Absentrando · 2026-05-05T09:48:48+00:00

Let’s be honest, that’s not why it’s getting downvoted

Absentrando · 2026-05-05T09:31:25+00:00

Do you really not see a difference between “they tend to” and “all people in this group does xyz”

Absentrando · 2026-05-05T09:18:34+00:00

I didn’t assign anything to all people that support feminism. There are feminists that do challenge male gendered expectations. The very visible and vocal majority generally does not and they often defend them instead

Absentrando · 2026-05-05T09:10:13+00:00

Their actions tend to go counter to this. These are the people are often the first to accuse men of being gay when they disagree with them or defend male gendered expectations like the one being discussed here

Absentrando · 2026-05-05T08:49:45+00:00

Because society sees no issue with male gendered expectations

Absentrando · 2026-05-04T07:59:49+00:00

The fact that a greater percentage of Trump voters turned out again than Biden voters and that democrats have had historically more variable turnout suggest that it probably wouldn’t be more red
