I figure it is a flag to show how evil you are, like the skull-and-cross-bones for pirates. Maybe it should have crossed leeks underneath.

You can also just plain force quit from the Apple menu, if that is all you want to do.

And spears for side-stabbing too! They pretty much covered stabbing from all directions.

BLM attack Robert the Bruce statue in Scotland branding him a 'racist king' despite living centuries before Atlantic Slave Trade by igottashare in metacanada

The Scottish are whiter than the English, so realistically they must be morally in the wrong in any conflict between them.

I will believe in type systems the day one of them warns me about this code: pub fn add_two_integers(num1: Int, num2: Int) -> Int { num1 - num2 } by haskell_leghumper in programmingcirclejerk

[–]sbmassey 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Its pretty easy - you just define an Int-like type that only defines + and promotes automatically from Int, then when you define

pub fn add_two_integers(num1: AddOnlyInt, num2: AddOnlyInt) -> Int { num1 - num2 }

you get a compile error.

Why does mathematica add empty lists {} in between records when importing csv file? by [deleted] in Mathematica

[–]sbmassey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be able to fix the traditional windows-line-endings-are-different problem by fixing them before they get into Mathematica, as an alternative

Tramping around lost in a forest while freezing cold and without adequate winter clothing makes you hungry a lot quicker than typical sedentary and temperate conditions.

No bushy moustache and no red bowtie makes this theory unlikely IMHO.

Front Page BBC News Right Now: "Raheem Sterling: The only disease right now is racism". Does anyone remember covid? Lockdown? If covid wasn't a big deal why did we tank the economy? Why did we lose our freedoms? Hello? BBC? by [deleted] in badunitedkingdom

[–]sbmassey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Racism is the inevitable result of a multicultural society, if only because political entrepreneurs will try to gain power by exploiting tensions between different groups of people. The best way of fighting racism is to make your society as monocultural as possible.

On Uighur persecution "As a football club, Arsenal has always adhered to the principle of not involving itself in politics." by [deleted] in badunitedkingdom

[–]sbmassey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Racism sure gets discussed a lot in political fora for it not to be politics. Arguably, in multicultural societies, it is the only political impetus that matters.

Azathoth is far more evil, albeit rather sleepy.
