Yeah, if only he had suggested to shoot the journalists instead, which Trump LITERALLY did, then that’d be fine with you. Obviously.

Good. So you’re fine with what he’s doing. He promised exactly what he did. The supreme court killed his original plan which he did try to execute, so that’s on the court, not him.

You’d rather he doesn’t?

There’s a survival bias too. People rarely will hear about or play the bad stuff from that era, but we keep hearing about the bad stuff happening now because of marketing. People then get nostalgic of a time that didn’t really exist. For every Mario Bros there’s a dozen Bad Street Brawler that no one plays today.

As someone who grew up in the 80s there were a lot of garbage from then too, it just didn’t survive the test of time.

Trump is not my candidate.

Just like people who defended Trump in 2016 saying stupid stuff like “he’s not anti-abortion he paid for abortions”.

I don’t care who you vote for, you’re whitewashing Trump by omission. If you actually cared about Gaza you’d rightfully point out that Trump’s politics and platform is actually worst than Biden’s on every aspect of that conflict. But you didn’t.

given Biden’s increasingly unpopular insistence on participating in a genocide

As opposed to Trump’s very popular insistence to actually nuke Gaza and Ukraine, I suppose? I guess it’s not a genocide if your candidate does it and it happens quickly enough.

The Red Mage from FF1. My first team was four Red Mage.

I was going off this article; https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2023/9/15/23874111/charity-philanthropy-americans-global-rich

So I’m not against eating (or better yet taxing) the rich, but if this article talks about the 1% global/worldwide, you’re likely in that 1%. The cutoff is like anyone with a job that makes 60k$ a year and no kids.

The just plain wrong. When you vote for speaker you also vote the rules in. Dems will not vote for the same set of rules and likely go back to a traditional and more sane set of rules.

Nah it will drop but I bet it’s gonna be a few days before it reaches the low tens. Then the real grind starts with months/years to try to regain value back to the overinflated IPO price.

We’ve seen it with plenty of stocks that IPO’d. This is not unknown territory. There is value in Reddit and there is profit to be had, but it is very under water and overvalued right now.

Investors will dump, employees will dump, price will tank to maybe 20-25$ the first day (after raising for a couple hours I predict, maybe even to 40+$), then a week after the IPO it will be 15-$.

But who the fuck knows. Markets are irrational and it could go down to 5$ the first day as mods and WSB start shorting it and making a mess on social medias.

The Hubble Suggestion just doesn’t sound the same.

Ah yes, what C needs is VTABLEs.

He’s not wrong, but this comes off as “it’s only a banana Michael”. If he’s talking about a house, then yes. If he’s talking about groceries, that adds up quickly. Don’t just pay interests on everything.

Disagree. UN is a diplomacy tool, NATO is a defense organization. Entirely different goals, and if UN was a defense organization something else would have filled the void for diplomacy and you’d say UN wouldn’t be necessary.

You don’t play diplomacy with your friends. And you cannot get your enemies to sit down if you’re aiming a gun at them. The UN not having teeth is the point.

49% of Americans can’t afford a 1000$ emergency. I can see why you would use your credit card, try to pay it with your next paycheck, paycheck is late (because of course it is) then miss credit card payment.

Those are very thin margins that a lot of Americans deal with.

My kid is learning HTML so… maybe?

I also studied Blade. - You mean the blade? - no no. Blade. The whole trilogy. Like a million times. I can recite it by heart.

That’s missing the point. Engineers perform at a specific level. You don’t expect civil engineers to build the bridge. Can they do it? Sure. But that’s not the profession. Same with Structural Engineers, Chemical Engineers, Industrial Engineers, etc. They are at a higher level in the planification and execution process and will likely have signatory responsibilities on the project. If the bridge falls, the engineer does have explaining to do.

The equivalent for a software engineer would be (in the US) more at the level of architect with responsibilities higher than developers.

But engineers is not a protected term so everyone is an engineer now.

They’re regulating engineering of software and electronics.

From Engineers Canada;

In the case of software engineering, a piece of software (or a software-intensive system) can therefore be considered an engineering work if both of the following conditions are true:

• The development of the software required “the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software.”

• There is a reasonable expectation that failure or inappropriate functioning of the system would result in harm to life, health, property, economic interests, the public welfare, or the natural environment.

That does seem to me well defined. If you disagree then it’s okay.

Edit: taken from this: https://engineerscanada.ca/sites/default/files/public-policy/professional-practice-software-engineering-en.pdf which also add context.

I cannot speak about electronics as my education was in software engineering.
