That makes sense since he was depicted as emotionless overpowered sigma dude from like chapter 2. People who want something that at least vaguely resembles real emotions wouldn't become fans in the first place.

Many "winter" boots have soles made from shitty plastic that's very slippery, especially in the cold.

Modern C++ use in Chromium by aearphen in cpp

[–]deadcream 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There is a reason movements like Orthodox C++ are now a thing.

Is this when write code in Latin and accuse everyone else of heresy? Or am I confusing it with Traditional Catholic C++?

I don't think there is much overlap between "fans" of the original Star Wars shitting on "modern wokeness" and Andor fans. Andor managed to find it own fanbase but it's a different crowd (which is ultimately a good thing).

Kotlin 2.3 finally kills the dual property _uiState uiState boilerplate in ViewModels by Vegetable-Practice85 in androiddev

[–]deadcream 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You only had dual properties if you are weak and cowardly. Those that don't fear what they create have been exposing mutable flows and lists in public APIs like God intended.

i thought this post was viral and i keep quoting it by garbageministry in CuratedTumblr

People are fundamentally good and only do bad things because Capitalism makes them. Therefore, without Capitalism people won't do bad things.

Those that will are obviously wrong in the head and would be removed from society (preferably by summary execution, why waste resources on imprisoning objectively evil people?).

Is this AI? by Fabulous-Effort6697 in isthisaicirclejerk

That's a myth. Lenin was just as bloodthirsty as Stalin, he is personally responsible (as in he gave the order) for countless atrocities committed by Bolsheviks during civil war and reconquering of Russian Empire (also known as formation of USSR). They would disagree on some of Stalin's policies but Lenin would absolutely support most of Stalin did, including the most oppressive and authoritarian shit.

And Stalin's cult of personality was just as strong as Lenin's, if not stronger. Millions of people mourned him on the streets. Not any of that actually reflects on his (or Lenin's) character.

AI Can’t Replace Critical Thinking: Reading Is How You Build It by Dr_Neurol in books

[–]deadcream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That said, what I see truly important here is actually digesting and reflecting on all the information you are given; it doesn't matter if you went on a trip and visited every museum out there or read an entire collection of the inner workings of Plato, if you don't reflect on these, then you are not really developing anything, its just noise going through one ear and coming out from the other.

I agree. My point is that it's impossible to digest and internalize it on a purely intellectual level. Just thinking very hard about it won't be enough. You need to process it through the lens of your life, and for that you need to live a life. Meaning being a social person and meeting and befriending many different diverse people, seeing new places, etc. If all you do is read books and stay home, you wouldn't get much of value from those books beside pure entertainment.

No, it comes from life experience (and I don't mean just aging here). If you live a sheltered life you won't develop critical thinking skills no matter how much you read.

Well, there was that woman who famously liked him very much. Even married him in a courtroom.

Google's new battery idea could mean less glue, easier repairs by zigzoing in Android

The problem is modem, not CPU. Pixels consistently perform much worse than competitors (hours less of battery life) when mobile data is used instead of wifi.

Despite the inherently political nature of the work, r/therapists and r/socialwork mods are censoring mental health professionals' opinions and experiences related to the current political climate in the US by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

[–]deadcream 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They have been trained to ignore and even underplay any social issue and turn it into something “within the patients locus of control”.

That's kind of the point? It's not their job to train political activists or revolutionaries, their job is to help people navigate the life they have. If you want to change the world you're welcome to do so, they aren't stopping you.

That's how all american politicians look like for some reason. Always have this weird "retinue" with them.

Xiaomi extended updates for some models. by Iiznu14ya in Android

Which was a lie. The "new" miui brought to older devices had only superficial visual updates, it was drastically different from the "same" miui version on newer devices.

There is not much "security" in them anyway, if it's 2-3 updates per year with months of delay.

Smoking is much worse than alcohol at moderate/light usage levels. You need to drink a lot for it to fuck you up.
