  • Take this with a pinch of salt, I’m not a programmer just a nerd that likes those kind of things. I tried them years ago first swift (I think it was in version 2) and a couple years later rust, and while both are great I found swift makes it easier to write clear code you’re gonna understand and like when you come back to it. Rust was better I think with concurrency (at the time), you’ll catch everything at compile time, but they talk about interoperability with c++, so this safety will be lost since most code interfacing with c++ will be unsafe.




  • I meant ‘collaborate’ as in having talks or meetings, paying a ‘tax’, playing by their rules… nothing that leaves much of a record.

    ‘Ties with militant groups’ is vague enough so many people will read ‘on the terrorists’ payroll’. And on time some ‘proof’ like phone calls, pictures in the same place with a ‘militant group’ member, or handing them some material aid, going to the same mosquee…

    The thing is unless they’re able to articulate more concrete accusations I wouldn’t even ask for proof, proof of what? I mean I have a bunch of cousins I barely met when I was a child, and no clue what they’ve been up to these ~30 years… I might have some ‘ties’ to ‘militant groups’ too, who knows?


  • …but the task force sent to evaluate the island’s potential determined that only 5,000 to 7,000 families could be accommodated, or even as few as 500 families by some estimates.

    …calling for the resettlement of a million Jews per year for four years, with the island being governed as a police state under the SS. They assumed that many Jews would succumb to its harsh conditions

    That sounds more like ‘outright extermination’ than ‘displacement’ to me but ok.

    I see you’re not the oc but as someone defending their point I’ll ask again, do you have any sources on these ‘plenty of pro-Israel Nazis’?


  • All aid workers around the world don’t have a choice but to collaborate with ‘militant groups’, gangs, dictators, mafia, warlords, cartels… if they have to make a deal with the devil himself to be able to help some children be damned sure they’re gonna.

    Having their ranks infiltrated is nothing new to aid orgs either (remember that sexual abuse scandal not long ago) or any other organization really, specially those that try to do good. Cutting the aid because an organization isn’t perfectly invulnerable is imo utterly stupid.

    So I don’t care much for those proofs, as I think the facts are most certainly true (to a degree) but NORMAL. The way they are interpreted and used as an excuse to cut the aid is absolute bullshit.




  • But isn’t that example absolute ‘misandry rage bait’ tho? I had to look it up (because I haven’t been so terminally online lately) and, after skimming through some discovery channel results, it seems like exactly that.

    Those videos just cherry pick the answers that are gonna give them more ‘engagement’, I do believe that ‘I prefer to encounter a random bear rather than a random man while alone in the forest’ to be a rather ‘misandrist’ (just plainly dumb honestly) answer, and I don’t believe this is what a majority of women think. So I see it as obvious bait to drive those that like to cry misandry when they are forced to try women as equals to the comments.

    Quick edit: if the question would have been ‘who have hurt you less?’ Or ‘by whom are you less threatened on a daily basis?’ then ‘bears’ is definitely a reasonable answer.


  • No op but yep religions, governments, most companies and organizations… and any other entity that only exist for the purpose of controlling, robbing and oppressing people should be dismantled.

    And if you argue that they have been or can be repurposed to not do that and to help people you’re just too naive, after thousands of years of existence the only things they do is exactly those.








  • Some people are gonna vote D/R no matter what, some will never vote D/R. The problem at hand is not those, is taking the people that could vote D ‘off their seats’ and go cast that vote. Biden’s not moving anyone, which could seriously result in losing the election, and I think Harris on top of not moving these could make the people that have a problem with her being a woman of color or a prosecutor go vote for Trump. The perceive problem is a real concern.



  • I only said that these reports is the only thing the imf does, like its only reason to exist, so it is literally its business. But also, and again economics is not my forte so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, lower rates than inflation only means free money for the rich. And if I understand correctly is Biden the one wanting to lower taxes to the rich ($400k/year is NOT working class).

    Edit:

    eat the rich

    Unironically/literally this. Watching the recording of a fellow billionaire being roasted and devoured by a mob of poor folk would put a bit of fear in them.
