Depend on what programming you do. Graphics will be math out of the wazoo, whereas generic web or desktop app programming has very little math involved

Seriously though... It was argued that, yes, a president can eliminate political opponents with impunity. I surely will be mistaken here, but if Biden wanted to, he could take out trump, and the entire top of the Maga movement and he would be untouchable.

It would circle into a civil war, probably, but the Maga crowd would get exactly what they wanted, just the other way around.

On a slightly less funny interpretation of this: so it seems that trump has calmed down the "kill the opponents" rhetoric after his victory, but many of his crowd haven't. I seriously worry for political opponents, journalists and comedians in the US as soon as trump and his cronies rise to power. I seriously expect many to go to jail, and some, indeed, to just disappear or get the good ol' "walked too close to a window" treatment.

So I'm actually wondering if Biden should just take out trump, just for self defense because there is an actual non zero chance that trump and cronies will get their revenge on Biden and Kamela.

I hate it so much that I can't tell if you're dead serious or joking...

This is the exact Federal terror that all those state militias are always training for so that they can defend the Innocent and righteous...!

Sooooo, where are they, to defend this judge?

Absolutely not.

What you're describing is a wild west anarchy where people just murder each other because of super minor disagreements.

To solve the issues, governments need to build good and correct cycle infrastructure. See the Netherlands as an example, I can't even remember ever having an incident where a motorist purposefully hit a cyclist because of a shared road issue.

If is rather obvious what if you mix cars with cyclists that it's going to cause issues. To play the devil's advocate for a second; if you're in a car and you're supposed to be able to drive fast but you're stuck behind a guy on a bicycle, that is annoying. But the point is that the cyclist shouldn't be on the road with cars in the first place.

Adding weapons to that mixture is not going to help, it's going to escalate small issues to deadly incidents for no good reason. Sorry, guns don't solve problems, they escalate problems. I want to live in a place where I can happily ride my bike safely, not where I need to ride around with my hand on a gun.

Fix the infrastructure instead.

Newsom is underestimating the power of just screaming lies... People don't listen to reason and facts, they listen to riling up bullshit

Hah! Look at you, thinking you'll be able to divorce in a few years from now. Haven't seen project 2025?

That is an inevitable outcome once they've prohibited divorce
