EVEN SPLIT OR GTFO GAAAAAAH

Yeah, that’s about the level of ordinance I’m talking about, just aim that gun-foot at the other gun-foot and you’ve got the right picture 😆

There’s a joke about chaps in here I’m not deviant enough to discover.

I was once on a team that would filter out staging-only bugs in bug triage meetings. The team would only ever fix a bug if it was found in production. It was exactly as foot-gun as it sounds.

Managers when a tester does this in a planning meeting, asking for more time to write better teats: 😠

Managers when a staff level engineer does this in a post-fuckup root cause analysis meeting telling everyone what went wrong: 🤤

Managers when the tester points out it wouldn’t have happened if tests for it had gotten written:

Uh, they put sublime under happy because it’s Ska-like. I don’t think whoever made this chart ever listened to any of the words.

What I got is arguably their happiest song, and it’s painfully obvious it’s a depressed person reminding himself that life can be enjoyed, is worth living, even when everything is shit.

I appreciate Typescript for addressing the sins of its predecessor.

And some of those choices are mistakes.

That’s the point of religion. Trick the brain into thinking everything is going according to plan so that it gives out the happy time drugs instead of the “you need to wake the fuck up and do something about this” drugs. The religion pushers get their cut, and everyone thinks their happy.

They make nothing. They’re compensated for destroying things, and considering it’s musk, they’re likely given relatively little money in return for their time.

Even if the only thing you do all day is sit on the toilet and yell at the Internet, you’re already a bigger net positive on society.

You’re giving this person a lot of credit. It’s probably all in the same table and this idiot is probably doing something like a for-loop over an integer range (the length of the table) where it pulls the entire table down every iteration of the loop, dumps it to a local file, and then uses plain text search or some really bad regex’s to find the data they’re looking for.

praying fascism loses again in the end

Well, that’s what pretty much everyone on the far left is doing, which is going to do absolutely nothing to change anything, and that’s my point. Tear down the Dems and the not-progressive-enoughs all you want, at least they have their asses out there trying to do something instead of literally waiting to die.

This is a lot of words for “Nothing can be done”. You balk at getting a ton of progressives elected, but you advocate getting a bunch of progressives to lead a revolution? You’re kind of hand waving over some huge details there.

It would be easier to get a shitload of progressives elected into positions of power in the US via the democratic party than it would be to lead a successful revolution to overthrow the US government, and I agree with your take on how difficult that would be.

It would be more difficult to build a third party that’s larger than the democratic party than it would be to infiltrate the party with progressives. You said it yourself, the money is center-right. The hard left parties need money, and small doner donations only work if your base is huge, which it isn’t for the hard left.

Historically, running as an independent or unaffiliated has a higher success rate than any other third party, especially at the local level where it matters the most, because those local politicians go on to run for state and federal positions once they build up enough clout.

The real issue is that very few hard-left people have gained the trust and support of the general population. Bernie, AOC and a handful of other progressives have managed to carve out a foothold in the Democratic party, but they’re a handful of people out of hundreds of millions. Where are all the good non-democratic-party leftist leaders? What is the PSL or anyone else doing to build their mind share with the voting public? This kind of “middle mile” groundwork is super important for parties. Having a pipeline of party-affiliated people to run as candidates nationwide is a huge job, and it’s something the Dems and the Republicans have locked down.

A leftist party in the US doesn’t have a base exact because the traditional laborer blocks are uneducated and kept ignorant by the ruling class. They also have very little money. That’s why the Dems go center right for votes. If the left wants to be taken seriously, it MUST participate, at ALL levels. AOC was a joke to the right when she was elected. This past election right-aligned PAC’s spent millions to kick the squad out of government and only succeeded in ousting two of them. IMHO, that’s indicative of a huge shift. Working to change the system works. It’s hard, takes a ton of energy, and a handful of people can’t do it alone.

This kind of opportunistic small-shifts is exactly how the GOP gained all of its power. Every step mattered, from the Karen advocating for banning books in her local elementary school all the way up to state governors passing abortion laws until one of them stuck. The far right has a pathological persistence that no organization on the left has come close to matching, and thats why the fascists are winning. They don’t stop.

You got a wet chortle out of me, I hope you’re happy.

Don’t let the gatekeepers keep you out. This site helps.

It’s more like bash did it one way and everyone who came after decided that was terrible and should be done a different way (for good reason).

Looking right at you -eq and your weird ass syntax

It’s uncanny. The pose is spot on. I assumed someone had shopped this to look like that on purpose.
