But if they do that then they’ll go up to three stars and it’s even harder to get away then! When you get up to four stars they shut down the bridges and send helicopters and at five stars they start sending tanks–

I jest, but the rapid military escalation of conflict in the GTA games is reflective of the “send enough dudes until the bad guy is dead” modus operandi of American law enforcement.

What I am saying is: either use your guns or make them illegal if you don’t use them anyway.

The people clutching the guns are the same ones with the “blue line flag punisher skull” tattoos and decals. Maybe if the Black Panther party made a comeback though.

Daily Caller readers aren’t ever going to read the retraction anyway. Truth doesn’t matter to the right in the slightest. Journalists who pretend otherwise are basically larping.

Get blocked fashie bot

I was about to say the same thing. I’m not reading all that shit. This is bot generated right wing propaganda.

Well, Seymour, I made it. Despite your directions.

It’s turtles all the way down

Echoing what others have said that it so far appears to be hallucinated/AI-coined from everything I’ve seen so far, as well as that I’ve seen a variant spelled “Arafed.”

These are all ludicrous.

Could accidentally knock people into a higher tax bracket and ruin their finances long term for short term gain.

This makes zero sense. Read up on how tax brackets actually work. Hitting higher tax brackets doesn’t mean your existing income is taxed at the higher rate. No “ruining.”

Could accidentally give someone collateral to take out a massive loan they cannot afford long term.

Wtf is this paternalistic BS. They could buy drugs or guns too!! 😱

Doing nothing and simply using it as cash reserves is better than making a foolish mistake and ruining it for themselves.

Nah. Pay people.

Man I still need to beat that fucking game

Anyway, fast fourier transform joke

Part of the reason I like text based better is because it gives me the power of search, literally everywhere. Too many complicated GUIs give me headaches and make me intensely frustrated as I click around seemingly at random, digging into menus or hunting around buttons with labels or icons that I don’t recognize.

On the command line, I can just start searching and jump straight to the thing I’m looking for instead of forgetting what I was doing wandering around in GUI land.

This is a really good and entertaining post and thanks for making it

As a guy who burned out super, super, super, super hard to the point that thinking about code–even though I’m good at it–just makes me feel baaaad, I still can’t help but chuckle. Like, in my case, providing what I did to the code world was literally all I could do before I stopped being able to contribute because it hurts inside my brain lol.

But at the same thing the fucking most hilarious part of it is you’re right 🤣 People do just not see software as “real” if it involves any reading and typing outside a comment box. Buttons and visualizations are truly everything if one wants to code and be taken seriously by anyone but other hackers. 😭😂 I wonder how much low hanging fruit there is out there of software that people could just make a paid GUI for and make a killing

What makes you think they’re clueless? They just don’t care.

RhyMe and sigN are half rhymes

I mean it’s good practice generally just in case, even when it’s not needed it makes it more maintainable

I usually go with YAGNI but shell quoting can get to be a pain so I try to do it right in scripts or aliases

But for a single one-off invocation lol definitely not quoting echo args
