The left that’s too far from winning.

Your far left candidate has lost how many times in a row now? Maybe you helping the far right will keep that losing streak going as your country’s politicians recognize the far left will just keep losing. If you want to stir to the left, you don’t go right, like your country just did this election.

50+ years younger too.

I guess it doesn’t apply to you…

Whatever works…

Even you ignored the first part of what I said, but I don’t blame you. That’s how conversations go.

I’ve had my fair share of issues with not getting a complete response from e-mails. And so I changed the way I look at it. It’s not like it will take weeks to get all the information you need just because you didn’t get everything in one go.

Digital communication is near instant. It’s not like snail mail where you have to cram your letter with as much information as you can, or it will be ages until the next reply.

The same justification we give other scams like crypto: greed. Some of us made money at the expense of more people who lost even more, so it’s okay.

Even when we converse, we get across just one point at a time. You have to respect other people’s time and bandwidth (Okay, one or two points).

Even the Playstation OS is better than this. It asks you whether to update before shutdown or the next time it starts up. ‘You’re 33% there’ is gaslighting, especially when you’re just shutting down the machine to go to bed.

To be fair, at least 80% of games are more than 6 years old.

No, imaginary friends are cringe, so that too.

Not Abrahamic, still imaginary. Still cringe.

You have an imaginary friend, and you’re trying to defend him on the internet…

This is the new whataboutism strategy. This is the new “both sides”.

Value investors aren’t the ones investing in this stock. The gamblers and growth investors all think this is a good roller coaster to get into. When you think about it, it’s actually disgusting how much is invested in this stock. The funds and people investing in this stock are just greedy. They don’t care about ethics, as long as line goes up/moves.

And you are sabotaging yourself by letting a whole different party create a set of bigger problems because you’re focused on things that don’t matter right now.

There is no “date” data type in COBOL, but there is in DB2, where the data would be saved, unless they are on an older VSE OS and data is still saved in VSAM files. Many still use 12/31/39 as a default max date even though OS/400 systems can handle up to year 9999 now (we still use 12/31/39 in testing where I work). It could be someone arbitrarily started using 1875, and others copied that.

Mainframe does what it does very well, and that makes it okay.
