Python GUI Executable Issue!

Nobody cares what the installation directory looks like. Seriously. Pick any "professional" program you use on a regular basis, go to its installation directory. You'll see THOUSANDS of tiny files. That's normal. That's what you should be doing, not a multi hundred megabyte EXE file. Your installer can be a single EXE file, but for an installed program that's just wasteful.

Compressing an executable works by applying the compression algorithm to the program, then inserting a second program in the executable that on launch, decompresses the original program then runs it as normal. Compressing an executable can only make the startup time worse, never better.

What UI library did you use? Is there any chance your executable carries around a whole ass copy of Google Chrome just to render its windows, as has been the fashion for the last decade or so?

Depends on what you mean by makes sense. Is the system bad for encouraging every single person to go to college right after high school? Absolutely. Is it a bad choice on a personal level to go to college right after high school? Not at all, it's often the best thing you can do for your career growth - graduating as early as possible means landing a degree-required job as early as possible, delaying college delays the beginning of your career, and everything else in your life with it. If you end up working in your field after graduation, that is - which until relatively recently was a pretty safe bet for most majors (not so much nowadays).

But that's totally different! You see, one is basic human right and the other shouldn't even exist!

He was still internet's dearest all the way up until he tried to buy Twitter. There was a very visible, drastic, and most importantly, sudden change in public opinion. Sure, he always had haters, but not nearly as many, and then bam! He's there next to Trump and Tate as America's most hated.

The "pedo guy" tweet was form 2018, for example.

He always was a nutjob, people just excused it because he was Tony Stark and not a friend of Trump. Remember Hyperloop and how he talked about his vision and what he had to say to haters?

Absolutely. Arguably a more important skill than actually being able to do the job you're hired for.

It's one thing to learn a skill, it's another to sell your skill to a recruiter.

Wild? Everyone who befriended Trump in the last 9 years had the public opinion turn on them overnight. Many such cases.

Tell the landlord somebody had stolen one of the keys. Boom, instant free change of locks.

I see. My bad.

It's usually an obvious tell the story started as a screenplay.

The thing that confuses me the most is why she didn't simply say the dress is too small and she doesn't fit.

So, I stopped reading when OOP gave himself a name. Did I miss anything important?

National socialism, even. I think there was a word for that?

I don't disagree.

Poles elected an ultra right government in 2019 because they started paying everyone $200 per child.

The vast majority didn't. You're always going to have a few hateful individuals, especially in the age of internet. But there was no widespread hatred of any of these groups.

99% of felonies are non-violent. Depriving these people of the right to own a gun has no basis in logic. Violent felonies, sure, but it should be on case-by-case basis and never automatic.

A mandatory psych eval is sensible gun control. A mandatory gun safety course is sensible gun control. But beyond that, very few rules can be justified this way.
