It seems I had semicolons confused with braces:

if picture is broken, it's this:

~ $ python -c "from __future__ import braces"
  File "<string>", line 1
SyntaxError: not a chance

I am so perplexed and horrified. I'm going to need several weeks to get over this. What is this?!

I think I would have loved Persona if it wasn't a turn-based RPG. I like the artstyle, and I like visual novel games. I just really can't be bothered with turn-based RPGs.

Perhaps I should just watch the anime adaptation.

imposter syndrome? sus

May I suggest trying VS Codium instead of VS Code for step 3 and potentially (not guaranteed) not be grossed out too much? It's a FOSS version of VS Code that removes telemetry and most of the gross Microsoft stuff.

The weird thing is the few lanes going right that are actually flowing normally. I guess the jam in that direction is all people trying to exit? The flowing sparse traffic looks out of place with all the jams around it.

Once at a job when I was supposed to make a website work (and I'll stress, I am not a graphic designer and wasn't hired as one!) I made the layout as nice as I could, but I insisted on only using named CSS colors because I just do. not. care. about color theory. By which I mean, I don't want to waste time and do a crappy job at it when someone else could do it much better and properly and faster. So the named colors are meant as an obvious placeholder for a more creative person to replace with something real later.

When my boss gave me feedback he just said that it's ugly. I started saying "yeah, the colors are placeholders, we can change that easily. I'll fiddle it with it I'll stick with named colors" (above explanation was to follow).

Before I even got to the named colors bit, he interrupted me and said "don't use named colors ever".

I guess maybe I was hired as a graphic designer? News to me!

(I'm making him sound awful but he was actually a really good boss. This interaction is not representative of our usual dynamics. I'm not employed by him anymore but we are on good terms.)

Depressing that it's only 20%. (I'm in those 20%)

2 years? That's 5 months of hair growth, tops!

Then again she could have gotten any number of haircuts in the meantime so I'll allow it.

What are you talking about? The money doesn't go to the Israeli government, it goes to the private companies or individuals who applied for the grant. Are you saying that every single person and organization in this country invests any spare cash they've got on weapons?

From the article linked by OP:

Weapons aren't really part of this.
