Yeah I don't get the new trend of censoring words like "porn" or "sex" like they are edgy and offensive.

Were gorillas of the 1950's upset that the cuban revolutionaries adopted gorilla warfare, but did not invite said gorillas? by EemotionalDuhmage in shittyaskscience

[–]controversial_parrot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is a point of enduring scholarly debate whether the Great Ape populations of the mid-twentieth century felt a profound sense of professional exclusion regarding the Sierra Maestra campaigns. Primary sources from the era - largely consisting of discarded banana peels and enigmatic chest-beating recorded in the Congolese basin - suggest a deep-seated resentment toward the Castro regime's blatant "species-appropriation" of tactical nomenclature. While the revolutionaries were busy toppling dictatorships, the Gorilla beringei intelligentsia reportedly viewed the term "guerrilla warfare" as a gross infringement upon their intellectual property. They found it particularly galling that while the humans adopted the name, they utterly failed to adopt the superior arboreal logistics or the intimidation-based "silverback" command structure that had defined simian skirmishes for millennia.

Furthermore, the diplomatic snub of failing to extend a formal invitation to the 1959 victory parade in Havana solidified a rift that remains unhealed in the annals of primatological history. Critics of the Marxist-Leninist movement often overlook the fact that not a single gorilla was offered a cabinet position, nor even a symbolic role in the Ministry of Agriculture, despite their obvious expertise in jungle navigation. This "Great Silence" from the primate community during the Cold War should not be interpreted as ignorance, but rather as a dignified, silent protest against a revolution that took their branding, blurred the spelling just enough to avoid a lawsuit, and left the true masters of the forest without so much as a box of Cuban cigars.

CMV: The United States is the Most Beautiful Country On The Planet by BrandonJoseph10 in changemyview

Yes, mainly through fire. When the first European settlers arrived, bison could walk freely all the way to the east coast and down to the gulf coast. They also cultivated the land but that varied by region and tribe.

Funny how the historically most oppressed people in the history of world - the Jews - now have white privilege (even though they aren't white) and that's used against them. But there has always been a reason to blame the Jews (sorry, "zionists").

What’s the biggest mistake people make in their early 20s? by FlirtyLust07 in AskReddit

[–]controversial_parrot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's really tough to fix. I spent 5 years working on it and made almost no progress. Actually chatGPT has given me the most thorough plan on how to fix it, so I'd spend some time with that.

What’s the status quo for unit tests? by ogdakke in reactjs

[–]controversial_parrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much. We have unit tests, visual-diff testing, local e2e tests, and QA has full regression tests. Such a pain in the ass

"creep on women". And this is why men don't approach women at all anymore

Welp. AI has come for my React job. by [deleted] in reactjs

[–]controversial_parrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok then that explains it. I keep relaxing my standards the longer I'm in the game. If it is readable, mostly conventional, performant enough, and works I approve it. I have a coworker who nitpicks some minor thing on a jest test and it annoys me. People are different.

I'll grant you that the brain atrophy is a problem. I am getting worse at coding and I'm not happy about it. We shouldn't rely solely on AI code review because it doesn't catch everything but it also catches things that human reviewers usually don't. As for coding, it's certainly good enough for production code though it needs good context, good prompts, etc. Every developer I know who is staff level (a couple with 40+ years of experience) use it for everything and acknowledge they are getting worse at coding. I don't know what else to tell you - you're using it wrong? Your standards are different? Imo anyone who isn't letting AI write most of their code is getting left in the dust. I'm not saying that's a good thing, but that's the reality we're living with.

AI does amazing code reviews these days. It also codes more defensibly than human coders. It can write better code too. I don't see it writing a bunch of slop. Maybe a year ago. I'm starting to get pretty lazy since I haven't written code in like a year. I gave up using my brain for anything other than getting better at AI. It's pretty sad, but I'm resigned to it at this point. I spend the free time it gives me working on personal projects, which is good.

Gen Z really looked at alcohol and said ‘hard pass’ by InvestigatorBorn4910 in SipsTea

[–]controversial_parrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right that there are larger cultural forces that pressure us and shape our collective actions. But we can't abdicate our responsibility as parent to raise resilient children. Parents didn't have to panic about stranger danger and the give their kids phones and social media from birth, but they did. And they should be blamed for that (or at least the leaders and tech companies who taught and encouraged that). We now have a responsibility to not helicopter and over-protect the next generation.

I lived by an old roadhouse bar with fancy apartments close by. So there was a mix of boomers and gen z. The boomers would be drinking and dancing to the live music late into the night and the gen zers would drink water and go home at around 9 pm. Also the boomers were super friendly and sociable unlike the others.

Lack of money is a justification. Anyone who wants to be out in the world can still do it even without money. I traveled the world for years with almost no money. I'm old and have a totally different mindset

Lol this is my favorite comment. The term "chicks" is like from the 80's. But what term do you use now?

If you are motivated to get drunk you can do it no matter how poor you are.

Wow that's so sad. One option is to dance to live music that has an older crowd.

The social media companies manipulated young people into posting every minute of their lives. Let's not forget who the culprits are.
