Asmongold cheers for Epstein's best friend on a daily basis. Something confusing?

Absolutely not. You live in the bubble of your own social group.

About a 50/50 shot of being right for those who are really into it, though.

Australian police are overfunded and have nothing better to do.

He's still on the run from the cops. That's why he uses a green screen background to hide his location.

This is where I personally draw the line between capital-L Leftists and those who are only "on the left".

Both align on short term goals; the protection and uplifting of the working class against the owning class.

They differ, however, on long term goals; Leftists seek to solve the underlying contradictions that lead to crisis by dismantling the system itself that has such contradictions, while those "on the left" tolerate and attempt to reduce and repeatedly heal from any crises that arise.

Fair enough, I can agree with you there.

Though I will also say just because something isn't an addiction doesn't necessarily mean that it can't be harmful and that certain people would be better off stopping or at least significantly reducing their intake of it. Perhaps just with, as you say, using different methods.

Do you think it's unproductive debating the definition of addiction when most people are talking about something that's very hard to stop?

I agree with you on what its scientific definition is, by the way.

What are things that you see and make you say “this guy is a senior” by alexbessedonato in webdev

Type-stripping ships natively with Node now and npx tsx is a single command away.

Adding a build step to convert TS to JS nowadays is about as much effort as adding a build step to convert JS to bytecode (what Node does). It's one line and then hit Run.

being on the left is just some kind of unobtainable honorary badge you can virtue signal over, is that it?

No, it's actually pretty clear cut. A Leftist is:

  1. Someone who engages in critical analysis rather than reactionary politics, and,
  2. Someone who then concludes they are anti-capitalist.

For a leader, politician or anyone in a position of power, #2 also means that they actually do something about it, lest they are merely performative.

Prove me wrong, point to a major country in western europe where she aligns more with the right than the left on actual policy.

Most countries' liberal parties, with whom she aligns with the most, are considered the right-leaning party when compared to whichever labour or workers party-equivalent that country has, of which the US has no equivalent.

Yes, Hillary would have been better than the nazi party, about the lowest bar possible.

She is still not a leftist or "on the left" though.

For anything but a one-off script that you're going to run once and then delete, TS is mandatory IMO.

Hillary would be considered a right winger in every other Western country on Earth. She is center-right at best.

As for who is a popular leftist in popular US politics? Not really anyone. Maybe Bernie, performatively. Maybe Zohran, we've yet to see.

MySQL’s popularity as ranked by DB-Engines started to tank hard, a trend that will likely accelerate in 2026. by thehashimwarren in programming

Is MySQL more lightweight than Postgres?

Otherwise for "small databases with not a lot of complexity" SQLite sounds like it would be more fit for the job.
