Wha…this feels like such a strongly principled stance that is formed from a variety of (mis)conceptions. I’ve never before heard anyone evince a “get money out of politics” opinion that meant “politicians should have no money at all” instead of “stop rich people from bribing/‘lobbying’ politicians and buying political power.”

In this situation, that money is used/expected to be used for advertising and maybe paying volunteers to walk around and spread her political message. The fact that her constiuents might be poor doesn’t make advertising free. What I’m reading here makes it sound like you think “she needed more money” = “her net worth wasn’t high enough for her to buy the position”.

They don’t know exactly why she didn’t swing the votes they needed but, rather than assume that Angie Nixon’s message had reached saturation (and everyone who might would have voted was fully aware of her platform), they are pointing at the obvious deficiency in her campaign: [advertising] support from her own political party.

I honestly think he just remembered he was in Ohio and said “Ohio.”

Ain’t no shot he knows the flags of Ohio or Puerto Rico

Was the person you replied to ever inconsistent with their stance about “clemency for small political/social gaffes”?

You’re making it seem like they’re soapboxing for Don Jr. when they could just be consistently against making fun of people.

The senior dev’s job was never to simply write code. But the junior dev was made to handle the grunt, code-monkey work while picking up senior dev skills and experience.

Now you need to have senior dev skills to just get work.

?

Every method just returns an empty string. Runs fast as hell. Just don’t expect it to do anything.

I was interested in an artist’s specific critiques of GIMP. I know GIMP is clunky but I’m not in the industry, so I don’t know what’s considered necessary or useful for artists.

If you’re having a bad day, just don’t comment.

Someone ping me if this gets a reply

Idk if Sweeney is trying to pull one over on people he thinks are dumb. I’d believe that he thinks those are meaningful changes because he’s just a deluded twat.

It’s not an exoneration. I’m just not angry at him, only derisive.

Yeah, she likely had to rely on nepotism. Just like in the good, ol’ days.

And the now ol’ days.

Authors think AI replaces Musicians, Musicians think AI replaces IT, IT thinks AI replaces Photographers, Photographers think AI replaces Artists and so on and so on and also vice versa and across. Everyone is doomed except for us amirite

Except they often also think their own field is only being undercut by ignorant people pushing genAI where it doesn’t fit because they don’t know about the minute details that contribute to expertise in the field.

Somehow, completely missing the point reflected in their own belief.

I loved those albums when I was in high school.

But I’m glad both DG and I have grown beyond them. They’re a little much now.

Also, this rings of saying its not murder because transgender people aren’t people.

No, it’s implicitly saying the murderer was ‘right’ to kill her because she was ‘really a black man.’ The jury was ‘deceived, by omission, into thinking this was about a woman being murdered.’

Not all news, per se, but I do recall seeing reporting on how a good handful of countries are trying to combat falling birth rates. Like in Far East and Far North countries.

You have to put some sort of “joke tag” on these. A /s or /j or something.

I’ve never seen a “refactor” create substantially more lines of code.

Once is a coincidence. Twice? Basically Gandhi.

…he shares a few proclivities with Gandhi, in fact.

That face reads as abject terror at the thought of the situation happening to her. Did she narrowly lose the raffle to be the obstructionist on this one?

The subtextual joke is that Buzz Lightyear is a deluded toy, unintentionally larping in the real world.
