What a repulsive human being.

Unfortunately, those of us that make games in Unreal Engine are stuck writing a lot of C++, unless we want to do everything in BPs (no thanks, they’re fine, but it’s not coding, and it’s difficult to maintain and refactor for complicated projects, they’re good for taking C++ components and building bigger components out of the base C++ functionality though).

With that said, UE’s support for C++ is decent. Which is, that as long as you tag all your fields, properties, methods, classes, etc. with some UnrealEngine attribute filter (like UCLASS or UPROPERTY), Unreal will handle the memory management of those constructs for you. Which is nice.

Unfortunately it has some other limitations to the C++ language that you can’t work around, like disallowing pure abstracts because every C++ derivative class based on any UE construct (Actor, Character, Pawn, etc.) has to be instantiatable in the editor. So no pure abstracts and such.

In general, I’d give it a 6/10.

It’s still mostly C++, but some of the things suck less.

The real world is nuanced and complicated sometimes. The enemy of my enemy is my friend works here.

We at least need to be welcoming and accepting of defectors until we’ve beaten trump and reinforced our democracy so a threat like trump can’t happen again.

They’re not wrong, but this is a broken failure of our legal system at work that rewards the wealthy

They did, just not as heavily as the others

Yeah, exactly. This would have to be a Genie using the “Brewster’s Millions” rules, not the ones in the tweet. In that case, they wouldn’t be able to own anything bought with the 100M at the end of the month.

It’s based on Bing from what I recall, and it’s not necessarily the most accurate engine. I tried it for a few months and couldn’t replace Google with it unfortunately.

Edit, guess I was wrong

It was, and then we went and built an impossible machine to find it.

Give it a few months

Trump is going to fuck shit up so much worse than Biden over there. Like, orders of magnitude. They’re deluding themselves if they think any different.

Part of my journey of self-discovery was realizing that people are not good or evil. The people generally doing evil things, are not doing them because they believe they’re evil, or the people they’re serving are evil.

Everyone believes they’re in the right, for one reason or another. And everyone believes they’re on the side of good. It’s like competing religions, they all think they’re “right”.

Someone like Trump’s motivations aren’t evil, even though it manifests as evil through the people that listen to and support him. Trump’s just a selfish, narcissistic dick who will step on, over, through, or kill anyone who prevents him from getting what he wants, and what he wants is to be constantly catered to, pleased, made happy, and be given what he wants and told how great he is all the time. That’s it.

The people that support him aren’t evil. They’re racist dickheads mainly, but they’re not evil. They’re scared of what they don’t understand and they’re angry at a changing world they don’t fit in and they want things to go back to a time when the color of their skin was good enough to guarantee that they had a stable life.

The truth is nobody gets that sort of life anymore. Not PoC, not Straight White CIS males, not anyone. The Billionaires and Oligarch have stolen that from us. From all of us. They are the real enemy. Not each other. They’ve spent a considerable part of their wealth over the years convincing us that the different kinds of us are the problem. It’s not a political issue, it’s not a race issue, it’s an education and class issue.

Those are the people we need to be angry at. Guys like the OP that were probably raised in a racist household, had racist friends, community influences, and traditions, actually breaking out of that and correcting it so that he’s working on addressing his systemic racist beliefs? Those guys are one in a million, literally, let me tell you.

I’ve been on the internet since Prodigy dial-up days, and people like that are rare as fuck. If you want to help solve racism in the world, you’re going to need to make some compromises from what I suspect is an ideal/perfect world you have in your head that’s black and white. At some point, if you stay on your path long enough, you’ll hopefully realize that there is no black, there is no white, everything’s a shade of gray or a different color between the rainbow. People like OP are allies worth having, they’re success stories to tell; they’re not the enemy.

Billionaires are the enemy. Never, ever let them make you forget that.

Being racist is ephemeral. People can choose to keep being racist, or choose to stop being racist. The OP chose to stop being racist.

The thing you can’t teach or train, is self-inflection. If you don’t have that, you’ll likely be locked in on whatever self-discovery path you’re on right now, for the rest of your life. If it’s a good path, you’re ok. If it’s not tho, you’re like an Elon Musk, who lacks empathy for self-inflection and will likely continue down this path forever, as the OP suggests, until Musk indeed realizes that he’s a racist.

At that point, Musk can continue to be a racist, knowingly, in the open, or he can choose to change, like OP.

Some opinions are worth changing. Someone clearly thought OP was worth it, and it seems they were right.

Brain fog bad. Brain fog damage last long time. Maybe forever.

Capitalism’s gotta make sure you earn those profits for shareholders. Strokes be damned.

Much later, unfortunately.

How to build your infrastructure with so many redundancies that not even Elon could bring your site down when he randomly started unplugging shit at one of their data centers, perhaps?

I have a Cannon laserjet and it’s amazing, cheap to operate, and has worked great for almost 10 years

Projecting?

Soon soon.
