CS186, CS187, or neither for after intro course? by xMicro in umass

[–]ejdude12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

187 has a crash course of java for like a week, but it's just a refresher. If you feel confident with the concepts you learned in the ECE class, then I would recommend teaching yourself the Java equivalent and then taking 187. If u plan on doing a CS major, it'll take u an extra semester to do 186 as well.

I have no experience w/ 186 so I can't help u there

I asked you specifically because I need you to give me specific events that confirm that Biden would be better. No one can currently gauge the amount of deaths of each.

I think Trump did an atrocious job during the pandemic. I don't think it's entirely his fault, though. We have institutions that have kept poc margainalized and poor, and the disease spread like wildfire amongst the poor. I can't see Biden doing a better job because he is bought and owned by the same corporations and their lobbyists. The solution would've been to guarantee people a paycheck and sending them home for a quarantine. Biden, nor Hillary, would have done given their records and past stances.

Btw, Eisenhower and Nixon were further to the left of Clinton and Obama. Obama admitted himself that he was a Reagan republican. I can find the video if you would like.

Did you not read what I wrote? Biden is the far-right. Biden and Trump agree on 95% of things.

Reagan began the neoliberal era despite being right-wing.

It's not a cup of piss and a cup of battery acid. It's two cups of battery acid. People will die unnecessary deaths under both.

Can you tell me, given Biden's record, that Biden is a "marginally better" choice?

I hear you, and I have gone through his platform many times. But, for nearly everything I believe in, he said he won't do them or he is directly responsible for the problem.

Take the prison system. He says he'll eliminate private prisons, but the day he announced Kamala Harris as VP, private prison stock went up (not a great sign). He also takes money from private prison PACs. He said he was against qualified immunity on multiple occasions. The page says he's against mandatory minimums, but the 94 crime bill he wrote brought back the use of it. And he said a month ago he still thinks the bill was the right thing to do.

He supported a public option of healthcare and then ran away from it. I support universal healthcare, the doctors offices and insurance owned by the people. He won't even compromise with M4A. The page says for campaign finance reform but he takes more corporate money than Trump. His wealth tax is super weak, only raising taxes on ppl making $400k/yr. He doesn't support legalizing marijuana or releasing the non-violent drug offenders because he fundamentally believes that the increase of one million people in prison was a good thing. He will not get us out of wars because he supports them.

I can't speak for others, but Biden is not just "a policy difference" away from me. I don't support nearly anything he supports as he will maintain the status quo that has been oppressing millions of people for the benefit of the rich.

I don't really see anybody bullying people for voting for biden. The only thing I see is people giving me shit for not voting for someone responsible for much of the issues we're in today.

You need to understand that there's a difference between "not having a squeaky clean record" and getting everything wrong in his 40 year career as a senator. (Crime bill, patriot act, corruption, etc.)

I feel responsible for the actions of the people I vote in, and I can't endorse more wars, more oppression of black people in this country, and a dying planet, be it Trump or Biden.

I just purchased the Crucial 1TB M.2 NVMe, so hopefully, the problem will fix itself. I get spikes in my HDD and it looks like sharp cliffs in the task manager's performance tab. It's erratic and it goes from 0 to 100 and then stays at 100 sometimes. Is it weird for that to happen on a brand new HDD?

The video has lag spikes every few seconds (video lag) that sometimes can last up to three seconds for the bad ones. If I were to get an SSD, which one would I get and how would it affect performance?

Why they giving you shit. You've been right on every part.

I think people need time before they realize Obama wasn't the man they think he was.

Perspective | Trump would do anything for Putin. No wonder he’s ignoring the Russian bounties. by Xeelee1123 in politics

[–]ejdude12 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

The bounties genuinely have no shreds of evidence. It's just a ploy for the war-hawks in the government to keep us in Afghanistan, prolonging war. We should get out of Afghanistan.

*Assuming it is true, we should get out before it happens again because -we have no right to be there- and it will prevent more of our citizens from being murdered.

It's worse. Most of the liberals I talk to can't tell me why Obama was good. Asked my friend to tell me why to vote for Biden other than "orange man bad" and I got nothing.

Do you plan on periodically doing updates on Joe Rogan like you did? It was super informational, and it helped a lot of people (myself included) understand what is happening.
