JS formatters add them if the project requires it

the Isreali right

The Israeli right: flatten the whole place, I want to salt the earth so they have nowhere to return to and they’re destroyed forever.

Israeli moderates: the IDF can have a little white phosphorous, as a treat

I feel like everyone misunderstood my stupid joke, that was my point

Europeans trying to be on the right side of history for once in their life:

Boom, merge conflict. The only thing left to me is force push and delete everyone’s changes.

Sometimes my work takes a while and other people push in the meantime. Guess I’m dying the fire.

A strongly worded letter

If “strongly condemn” is a 6, nuclear first strike has no business being a 10, I’m pretty sure there are a few steps you missed in the middle there.

Fine but whatever you think about js, dynamic languages have certain advantages, and trying to turn it into another java or c# is a stupid endeavor. You’re not “fixing” javascript by making it more like java.

My comment was obviously devoid of any nuance, I am on programmer humor after all. I actually do use typescript, but I think fixing issues in application code that isn’t used by other code is a waste of time. I also think there are lots of advantages of a very dynamic language, like usable REPLs and much easier debugging. We can take these advantages way further by embracing the dynamic nature of javascript, like how lisps do it for example. But instead, everyone is happy going down the route of turning it into another c# (nothing against c# but we don’t need all languages to be c# and java).

I prefer to think of it as maybe don’t shoehorn a shitty type checker into a dynamic language. Honestly I think people who get excited about typescript should fuck off and go write java instead.

The way allah intended

When have Palestinians invaded Israeli land? Israelis are still creating illegal settlements right now.

But more importantly, this genocide is not a two way street. There are terrorist attacks but that pales in comparison to an all out genocide. When have Palestinians leveled whole neighborhoods or dropped chemical weapons on people? Israelis are determined to kill or at least displace the millions of remaining Palestinians and it’s disingenuous to say that’s the same thing the Palestinians are doing.

Not only do they bite, they are venomous. So if one does manage to bite you, it will hurt like a bitch.

On the other hand, one will most likely not bite you.

This is going to be a boring answer but I use neovim. I do use it as my ide as well but it’s so fast and lightweight that when I need to edit a random config file or something, I just start another instance of it.

I get the sentiment, but most places don’t have even halfway decent coffee shops. Everyone gives starbucks shit (rightfully so), but the fact is if you walk into a random cafe in America, it will most likely be inferior to starbucks. The level of quality in American coffee is just abysmal. And if you’re traveling, you won’t know if the cafe you take a chance on is a hidden gem (spoiler, it never is). I was in Austin one time and I found this hipster place that had great reviews on google. The interior was really nice, nice place to work, spacious, etc. The coffee tasted like dog water. It wasn’t mediocre, it was trash. I’m sure Austin has great cafes, but unless you live there how will you know? Starbucks is a consistent mediocre coffee.

Did you read the article? The legislation steadily increases the legal age limit so that kids don’t get hooked on tobacco in the first place. No one will have to “quit cold turkey”.

One of the biggest issues with the war on drugs is that it criminalizes the use of certain drugs. This doesn’t do that.

As for your claim about a black market and a mafia:

we have already taken steps to reduce smoking rates. This includes providing 1 million smokers in England with free vape kits via our world-first ‘swap to stop’ scheme

They’re still providing people with tobacco, just a less-deadly kind. Comparing that to the war on drugs is ridiculous. The point of the war on drugs isn’t to get people to quit using dangerous drugs recreationally, every reasonable person wants that. The point of it is to control minorities and poor people. That’s absolutely not what’s happening here.

None of this is to defend Sunak btw, he’s a broken clock that happens to be right in this instance.

Vampires don’t show up in mirrors because they don’t exist in that other dimension

Maybe I’m not an amazing perfect person. Maybe I should try some introspection and look critically at my own thoughts and actions.
