Damn son. I should have gone into federal law and become a judge. I'm struggling to make six figures with more than a decade of experience under my belt in a highly technical field.

The French get shit done. I can certainly say that. They're a population that really won't stand for being shit on. It's why they made such good use of the guillotine, historically.

Taking a page from their book may not be a bad idea.... Or you could reference the alleged works of Saint Luigi from America. He also made a profound impact. At least for a while.

They wouldn't be able to get this shit to fly against the other members of the EU, I don't think.

Those people are doing the Lord's work, forcing companies to give control over user data, to the users, making USB C a standard for all devices... I won't list everything, but shit. The rest of the world has benefited by proxy on so many things, because of the EU.

The UK is acting like a bunch of pearl clutching soccer moms.

To the people of the UK:

What the hell is this authoritarian, pearl clutching shit? You're fucking shit up for everyone. Can you get your people to please fuck off?

Thanks, from some guy on the Internet.

Maybe. But in my experience, the most valuable team members are not the ones with the experience, but the ones that are curious and resourceful.

Lol. I think it's more likely that I'll win the lottery than users RTFM enough for me to worry about my job.

It's just a funny thought that any of them would try.

Exactly. The concept was sound, that resources were limited and something should be done about that, but the implementation needed so much work.

He imagined a solution for a very real problem, then went straight to making it happen without allowing the solution to undergo any scrutiny.

It's the only way! Clearly! People just don't see it like he does! Right?

The conservatives under Mike Harris dismantled Ontario power generation, and sold it off.

Add that to the list.

I like you. You can come to Canada and visit. I'll allow it.

You have to leave the rest of your countrymen at home tho.

I get what you're saying. The person in question knew more about the original source material than I ever have, and I'm just relaying their opinion.

I'm usually entertained by Superman stories, personally. They might be boring, they might be woke, they might be a million things, but as long as I find them entertaining, then I'll keep watching.

Back in my day, we called that pseudocode. It's code-like, but not in any actual programming language that you could compile from.

It's more of a set of ideas of how to accomplish something, than it is actually coding.

The fun part is, that pseudo code can be adapted to any actual programming language.

Idk why everyone is crazy about vibes all of a sudden.... But sure.

At the same time, I like that the antagonists of the boys are people with nuance.

The best shows and stories are ones where both sides believe they are doing what is best for everyone, but disagree on what's best for everyone... Like Thanos. His idea was good in concept, his execution? Not great.
