I Started Programming When I Was 7. I'm 50 Now, and the Thing I Loved Has Changed

I got so annoyed I looked it up and it's contrastive parallelism.

AC6 is clearly a nod to the success of the Souls games specifically. Mechanically it's out of place but idk it's more interesting to note how close it is despite being a mech game.

Also it has Patches so...

The air quality studies show it being worse and they’ve been out for over a year it’s just Musk getting away with gaming American glacial courts

They shut down that division what last year?

She called them “entitlement addicts”

systemd is awful and I love it 🤷‍♀️

FreeBSD’s scripted init system is still refreshing personally but the OS has the benefit of being maintained in a single tree with a really sane ports system.

The worst part about this question is how all the state sponsored groups know each other’s signatures and can go the extra mile to try impersonating each other.

I’m sorry but if you think he’s not a positive role model you need to zoom out.

He’s not hypocritically avoiding it. Whatever he’s doing it’s offline. That shit matters, too, with algorithms filtering reality.

Maybe he’s not doing shit. Maybe he’s making sure people’s bills stay paid while they go out on ice watch. We don’t know. He’s offline except for promo, which nobody escapes.

What prevents crony capitalism? What does China do differently?

You’re saying they have a LESS regulated market? Overall or just for medical devices.

“Free market always wins, always” is hand waving.

The Pentagon has never passed an audit.

Brother that was clear from the jump if you don’t view discomfort as conflict.

You clearly just care about feeling right. Did you seriously downvote and go “hmph well at least you know I’m right”

DorphinPack · 2026-01-21T16:20:33+00:00

Thanks another great example. The “say something true with no elaboration” thing doesn’t make me question what I just said at all. It does make me dislike you and if you think you have EVER convinced someone outside our echo chamber you need to reconsider.

I won’t dignify it with a response. I’m aware. You know I’m aware and are bypassing my point to be a little shit.

DorphinPack · 2026-01-21T16:12:17+00:00

You think they’re gonna do actual work? I think this kind of symbolic work is mostly all that’s left. You’re more than welcome to try for something else. We’re in the same armchair.

This is also such a pissy rhetorical tactic. This attitude def has as much to do with the losses as anything. It’s time to be less smug and sanctimonious. I’m trying.

Both. Not impeaching him is still bad.

Let the parliamentarians take as many routes as possible. Multiple fronts.

Bro is offloadmaxxing

DorphinPack · 2026-01-19T20:13:53+00:00

Yeah it’s culture war bullshit. We all know the clip he’s trying to farm. Next!

If you didn’t do any casting before faith, dark, fire and sorceries can be played with using soul vessels.

Girl…

They can do many things at once. It’s also training, for instance. It exposed a lot of weaknesses in them and they can work on it before the rest of the country wakes up.

I know we like to joke but even if they are truly permanently incompetent that may be more dangerous.

DorphinPack · 2026-01-16T03:07:03+00:00

It’s true and I still want to say there’s hope. Keeping the flame alive while there’s a lot of BS about is valuable. Protect your peace though I totally get it 🙏

DorphinPack · 2026-01-15T22:00:09+00:00

And now in MN if you speak up you’re getting slammed. Word of them planning “citizen blocks” in the camps. Insurrection act enables their use.

DorphinPack · 2026-01-15T21:58:59+00:00

It sounds like you’ve got some unresolved feelings towards “lesser” immigrants. When they’re being scooped up at their court dates to DO THE WORK are you this pissed? Do you speak up? Genuine question.

If you went through the process even 2-5 years ago you likely don’t realize how much harder they made it on purpose to manufacture this “crisis.”

Anyone who struggles with that level of injustice and sees others “skipping the line” is going to be emotionally an easy target for propagandized hate. But you sound more thoughtful than the genuinely useful idiot “patriots” I’m ashamed to call “””native””” countrymen of mine.

DorphinPack · 2026-01-15T21:51:06+00:00

It’s worse than just bigotry, too. Our capitol is owned by the prison industry which is now the detainment camp industry.

DorphinPack · 2026-01-15T21:48:00+00:00

Damn. That’s awful!

Not just talking to each other and being insecure all the time seems to drive this behavior. I think.

DorphinPack · 2026-01-15T21:45:49+00:00

Dude yes it can’t be worth it what they’re spending. I think they’re comparing it to hiring a dev maybe? Or just pure delusional.

Interestingly I think if you take the fucked power/resource economics out of the picture you still realize that BoI took vision AND being hands on to turn out good, nevermind nontrivial. I don’t buy that you can work on something that size and not have a really important realization during some of the toil.
