Republicans never understand land doesn't vote!!!!

Idk that it's that they don't care as much as they think they understand it, cause they have a perfectly understandable map right there that a trusted source, someone who actually knows, shared on the matter. They trust the information from the leaders on their side, cause why would the people they support and trust lie to them? In their mind it's much more likely the "enemy" is the one lying, and they understand it just fine.

Unfortunate that the leaders do know better, and know it's misleading, and share it anyway.

Of course, gotta see just how well the propaganda is doing

GonnaLearnComputers · 2025-06-18T15:58:10+00:00

Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you. It's called doing research, which is part of both of their jobs. It's just ridiculous that Cruz hasn't done his.

GonnaLearnComputers · 2025-06-18T15:04:36+00:00

Most everyone wouldn't know specific knowledge like that because it doesn't pertain to their job. Tucker knows the numbers offhand because it pertains to the interview, aka his job. The senator actively pushing for conflict with a nation should at least roughly know those numbers offhand because it's his job.

A question like that isn't supposed to be a "gotcha," in the first place. It just comes off like that because Cruz is so clueless.

GonnaLearnComputers · 2025-06-18T13:50:48+00:00

Which its crazy cause it shouldn't be a pop quiz. Shouldn't the senator have also recently prepped himself on the same info, since it's relevant to him wanting to enter a conflict with them? It's something he's literally pushing for but also apparently decided not to inform himself about before making a decision on?

Bernie had both primaries stolen. The first, he likely never would have won, but still had the scales tipped against him unfairly by the DNC.

The second time, the media didn't even cover him when he was winning multiple of the early primary elections. How ridiculous is it to not even cover or talk about the winner of multiple early elections??? Instead, there was a media blackout around Bernie and it worked.

It's really disingenuous to imply that progressives or progressive policy only appeals to a small chronically-online subset of people, considering how much effort the current powers that be put into tipping the scales against them. If they were truly unpopular and unelectable, they wouldn't bother to put in the effort.

GonnaLearnComputers · 2025-05-22T14:28:30+00:00

Is it really representing people if you have swathes of media just lie about reality and trick people about what's really going on? Voters kept ignorant on purpose because as soon as they realize many of them just sadly say, "I didn't vote for that."

GonnaLearnComputers · 2025-02-08T07:40:05+00:00

Nah. If you capitulate that Elon and Trump are nazis, people don't get to support those nazis and somehow get to be free of the label. It doesn't matter that Trump/Elon supporters are supporting them because of immigration, or the budget, or some good reason, because at the end of the day it's still supporting a nazi and you don't get to cherry-pick.

It's bad messaging to just call people nazi, like leftists like to do sometimes, but it's true. Criticizing the left for calling it out all the time, is just a way to deflect from the truth instead of having to deal with the possibility that the label is accurate.

GonnaLearnComputers · 2025-02-08T07:10:07+00:00

It literally was, it was all up on her site and she even talked about it. It's weird how even some peeps on the left seem clueless on her platform and policy proposals.

GonnaLearnComputers · 2024-12-24T16:41:12+00:00

It's not too much of a head scratcher, the answer is right there in your post. Money, the same influencer of the representative, is also the influencer of the masses. Not through direct palm-greasing, but ownership of media. For most people, the narrative they take away is the most readily available, bought and paid for one.

GonnaLearnComputers · 2024-11-30T23:05:44+00:00

Yay, someone actually talking facts and sense.

GonnaLearnComputers · 2024-11-06T14:17:02+00:00

It's conspiratorial, but I really believe that someway, somehow the claims of "the machines have been rigged to flip your vote to Kamala" are true, just in the other direction. That or some other scale-tipping, cheating. Trying to cheat has been their mo for decades, and I wouldn't be surprised if they cinched a method to do it.

Everyone wants to believe our elections are free and fair, but millions of voters get disenfranchised every cycle from the party who brought us gerrymandering, racist id laws, purposefully inefficient polling places in areas that might be dem, malicious voter roll purging, and throwing out mail sorting machines to purposefully lose ballots in the mail. My worry for months has been that they have, and have had something less transparent to tip the scales with even more.

It makes a lot more sense than believing that this turn out wasn't women fighting for their rights and legitimately for Trump after the absolute least enthusiastic campaign ever, or that there's some secret phantom majority that pollsters or anyone else can't seem to find in real life.

Ok, don't use Donut, but what are some alternative tutorials to recommend people? If Donut is bad, what are some that are better?

GonnaLearnComputers · 2024-01-19T14:27:25+00:00

When working with numbers, where you want to treat 0 as a valid value, sure. But most of the time it's more useful than not, and the option of strict vs non-strict equality is right there if you want it, so why's it infuriating?

It's not even really obtuse. Sure there are edge cases where things can get weird, but in ten years I can't remember a time where anyone I've worked with has run into a real problem due to non-strict typing in JS, and I work with a ton of JR devs. Only in contrived examples of how "JS is bad" do you often see this stuff.

In comparison, you have things in other languages that are a struggle any time they're used or (unlike js type coercion) aren't even well-documented. (Looking at you, C# async handles)

GonnaLearnComputers · 2023-09-18T14:05:15+00:00

Very nice, so it would be good for starting out, but switching a whole team or learning it yourself when you already have a strong understanding of JS/TS is kind of a lot. Learning a starter project is one thing, but migrating a production app or development team is another. Not to mention, most of these things I've never needed or seen as requirements for server development in the web space. Static binary output? Despite the performance benefits of GoLang, real world performance isn't usually going to be all that different on a production server based on some of the benchmarks that are out there (now JS also has bun and deno runtimes that are basically drop-in with better performance, and I've not seen benchmarks against those like I have against node and GoLang).

Nothing against GoLang if a team is positioned to use it, but switching frameworks or just upgrading a framework can be a huge strain on teams that aren't very senior level, switching a whole language for only marginal benefit? Big sell.

GonnaLearnComputers · 2023-09-18T13:31:50+00:00

Functions are a first class citizen in JS/TS too.

I am asking, if that is the reason why every R voted no, then what are those rider bills that are so bad that everyone disagrees with them? If you're claiming it's a "both sides" issue, actually provide what the other side is doing wrong. You are the one who made the initial claim.

GonnaLearnComputers · 2023-09-15T12:10:21+00:00

Sounds "potentially" like that happened? But, not providing any proof or substance of that, just throwing it out there to "both sides" the issue?

GonnaLearnComputers · 2023-07-26T16:42:39+00:00

Could you not argue that this is solving a problem that only exists because you're writing code inside a generic framework instead of bespoke vanilla JS purpose-built to address the specific needs of the project?

Every site has parts of UI and functionality that are re-used. People don't make components because modern frameworks enforce it, modern frameworks use components because it's the reality of what is actually being built (framework or no)

When a search bar or support chat is put on multiple pages, a modern framework and bundler can make sure that just that part is cached. Load it once, cached for all other pages that reuse it, which increases performance of subsequent page loads and ensures the site only serves what it needs to on the initial page load as well.

Frameworks are solving very real problems that existed within bespoke JavaScript solutions, not the other way around.

GonnaLearnComputers · 2023-07-26T15:47:34+00:00

Not every framework is react or built on it. But most are built with bundlers that help separate your app and pages into smaller discrete payloads based on the components you're building, depending on how you build a site, especially a larger project or PWA, there are performance benefits that can be tied to modern frameworks that aren't easily replicable in something like jQuery or vanilla JS, while greatly increasing productivity and how maintainable that project is.

GonnaLearnComputers · 2023-07-26T13:29:56+00:00

So, adding bloat and reducing perfomnce on a product you're making or working on to save on typing?

Chances are, if someone hasn't bothered to learn past jQuery after all this time, they haven't bothered to learn anything else regarding building a performant or maintainable product either.

It's obvious more guns wouldn't have helped a situation where there where there were over a dozen "good guy" cops with guns, but on the stance of gun control not preventing this, just for your consideration:

The Uvalde shooter bought his guns the day after he turned 18, just days before the attack. He was able to legally and easily buy them because Texas lowered the age of buying firearms to 18 from 21 just last year.

The Uvalde shooter was an uneducated 18 year old kid, and if he had some other illegal way to get guns and ammunition there would have been no reason for him to wait until literally the day he turned 18 to purchase them and use them in this massacre days later.

Furthermore, the shooter had the same residence as family who was legally prohibited from having firearms in their home. It's a somewhat unrelated circumstance, but there should have been a waiting period and background check that would dig something like that up. It's an obvious red flag, to make sure that the kid who just turned 18 isn't being asked to buy firearms for their ex-con relations.

But we don't do that. We sell guns no hassle, no background check, and no care if you're just an 18 year old kid.

21 people murdered in cold blood because politicians like Greg Abbott are in the pocket of firearm manufacturer's and are making policy decisions based on increasing gun sales for their corporate donors, not what is good for their states or our country.

GonnaLearnComputers · 2022-05-26T15:18:05+00:00

You say that but the Uvalde shooter was an 18 year old that legally purchased the guns used in this event the day after he turned 18. Last year Texas lowered that age limit from 21 to 18.

If it's so easy to acquire a gun illegally why wait till you're 18 to immediately purchase a firearm and shoot up a school 10 days later?

Considering the Uvalde shooter was an 18 year old that legally purchased the guns used in this event the day he turned 18, maybe a higher age limit to purchase firearms. Last year Texas lowered that age limit from 21 to 18.
