The NPCs showing about 0.023% of the self-awareness that they should be showing, but it's a start. Wondering whether the end there was the show getting pulled from air?
Two Ukrainians I can stand by.
"electric and more efficient vehicles" - is that a tacit admission that electric cars are not necessarily more efficient than current ones? With the heavy metals that go into battery production I'm not sure they are that much better for the environment.
Have a family member, where the parent is bi-polar. All the kids are fucked up in some way, including a daughter with some form of GID.
I think the same irony applies to the "Democracy Dies in Darkness" tag line they have there in the header.
Up is down, left is right, front is back.
Nothing as believable as a CNN "fact check".
And if you think that comment will help convince me, you are even more mistaken.
A 60 second video of some guy talking, and a second link that doesn't work.
I have an open mind (who wouldn't in the current clown world?), but that's not changing my mind yet.
Let me guess. He accidentally, violently cut off his own head whilst shaving?
Another dumb cunt author writing about people resisting laws created by dumb cunt politicians and not understanding any of it.
It would be nice if any of that shit I just read was based on facts or science, but it clearly isn't. Just because some dumb cunt can say it, doesn't make it so.
This is why we wait (at the very least).
I don't think that, but yeah that's not what I wrote so I'll take it on the chin.
To force a gene therapy upon people where even the CEO of the company that makes the shit, now says it's ineffective (took the dumb cunt a while to catch up). Makes perfect sense.
They're just following the science.
This is probably worse than what's going on in Australia; thanks for taking the limelight Canada!
I agree.
A large library represents a large attack surface and likely on features that are not even required.
Case in point; I developed an API for my company's products for logging. Some of the newer employees couldn't fathom that I would write anything to do with logging. After all, there's many different libraries out there already. This is true, of course, but my API acted as a façade for the functionality that we actually needed. Thus, we could have unit tests that proved the functionality that we actually needed, worked the way we expected. Any library could be used to implement the different behaviors.
The benefits; we were not tied to a specific library or implementation. In some cases we would implement our own functionality. We were always covered for regressions. We didn't have to worry about some open source guy making a change that violated our functional requirements, or introducing a new bug. Our client code didn't have to give a shit about different implementations, due to the abstraction.
The downside of this approach was that if a library implemented a great new feature that we decided we wanted, we would have to extend our façade, but actually that's not such a big deal. It's consistent with our philosophy of not coding for the future (that future may never come).
Another down side is that even though we essentially abstracted away the possible use of features that we didn't need, if a security issue was identified in a library component, our new age build processes would require upgrading, even if the feature with the security issue was not being used. To that end, the isolation we achieved through the abstraction was still subject to involuntary changes of underlying components imposed by carte blanche security policy. But at least we still had automated tests to ensure that our own feature requirements were met.
Having that ability to sleep at night is key for me. Having to worry that some open source library is going to fuck something up, or make a design decision that fucks up our products, is not my idea of fun. But apparently many think it's the only way. I think maybe I have been in the game too long!
Haha. Yes it seems that way.
The media telling people what to think about whether the media tells people what to think or not.
As a programmer myself I’ve always been surprised by how heavily developers rely on large libraries for even small features they could code themselves. They’re just lazy.
This. Apparently not having any control over source (and therefore quality, bugs and security) is great, when you get "free security fixes". I would personally rather the ability to know when something changed, why it changed, and have complete control over the quality side of things, but apparently I'm a dinosaur.
Well, that's certainly a list.
I wonder just how many of these events the NPCs need to start asking questions?
It's a brain dead analogy as are most of these types of analogies. The implicit assumption (and therefore critical flaw in the logic) is that driving with lights on (which is obviously sensible and good) is equivalent to getting the experimental gene therapy (i.e., an unquestionable good in mind of the person expressing the analogy).
We simply disagree that it's a good. All the additional bullshit beyond that is just window dressing around the initially flawed assumption.
This has been evident for some time now. UK data has indicated it for months and they have tried to obfuscate it and hand-wave it away.
Even the efficacy "curves" for Delta (from the Denmark paper), if extended beyond the 150 days range, would eventually go negative (power curves, essentially). It just happens a lot quicker with Omicron; clear evidence that the virus has exploited the ill-considered brain dead approach of using a narrow spectrum antigen "vaccine" to create a large uniform playground for variants to evolve.
Well, as of midnight last night (in my state at least) we are back to quasi lock-downs. They're not called lock-downs, but the effect on small business is basically the same.
Not to worry, I've already closed down my small business so the joke's on them!
And, of course, the un-jabbed are being blamed in some magical feat of mental gymnastics.
From the Tucker segment "... you can't even say what you think without threats of violence." I can relate to that. Had an extended family member threaten to punch me in the face because "he knew my opinion on a range of different things and disagreed with all of them." Not withstanding the fact that I've barely shared my opinions with him or others, I find it a sign of the times we are in. Never have I been physically threatened by a family member for thinking the wrong thing, until now.
