And what does the language matter anyway when you can now type in pseudocode into Copilot and ask it to form perfect equivalent code in any language?

The left puts forth candidates running on a "Execute all white people" stance and still can't figure out why 70% of the country matching that demographic votes against them.

Huh. I'm a *gasp* straight white male myself and I haven't heard anything like that coming from any Democratic candidates put forth. Asking someone to defend their actual stances is fair, but asking them to argue against the lies you bought into or just made up in your head is a bit much.

Speaking of not caring about law and order, how many times has Trump gone against the Constitution exactly? Maybe try taking an interest in reality sometime. Trying to solve problems in imaginary worlds tends to cause problems in the real one.

Odd though that Trump can do nothing but appeal to his fringe base (one that is actually, objectively fringe) and yet still get away with it. The real challenge is for the Democratic Party to convince people to take the same scrutinizing standards they use to judge them and apply it equally to the Republicans.

This. I've come to the conclusion that it is immoral to respect someone who argues in bad faith.

When was the last time fascism or racism was categorized as un-American? That's what I'd like to see.

OED says anticlockwise is used 0.09 times per million words. Counterclockwise is used 1 time per million words.

Yes, that will happen when most of the people in the world who speak English aren't actually English. Your single example of the researchers writing in UK English withstanding.

Any time I've read or heard the phrase spoken by Brits they prefer anticlockwise to counterclockwise. One example that quickly springs to mind is the British Global Cycling Network. I thought this was common knowledge.

And while I am still working on OpenWater and Alignable, the only thing I've gotten from LinkedIn in the past year is rewrite-your-resume scams

And therein lies the problem. People who just want a simple, sane political system feel (correctly) that it's not something they should have to put in a lot of effort to get or maintain. But the horrifying extremists have all the energy in the world to get their nonsense through, and won't expend any energy at all to just step back a bit and consider that their policies might be hurting themselves as well.

But yes, at the bare minimum people should put in the effort to vote and not nope out after buying into the nonsense that politicians are all the same.

Given the reference list, I suspect not ChatGPT, but rather https://magisterium.com/

It's the difference between a communist state where the government is forcing their people to head in the correct direction on this and a democracy where the people are choosing the wrong one time and time again.

I'm all for democracy. That's why I'm hoping its citizens will improve enough for it to survive.

I've been looking since March 2024. Having no reasonable options in sight, have reopened https://informationr.us/

In this job search, Linked In and Dice- but MOST of my LinkedIn devolves down into one of the above quickly. The number of scammers on Linked In is truly awesome.

Indeed. And yet Stephen Miller is still gonna have a tremendous fit. Probably more so.

OK. But I'm pretty sure that generation could have gone to the moon 11 years after without the spousal abuse as well.
