@ISapphired @lightsofCamelot @james_xond This isn’t a slippery slope fallacy as he’s not saying that by giving up one right you inevitably will give them all up. He is saying if you give up one you should give up the rest. He’s stating his opinion rather than a causal link.

@lightsofCamelot @james_xond Slippery slope fallacy.

Unpopular opinion but the right to vote shouldn’t be automatic. It should require passing a basic test on economics, finance, history, and how laws and public policy actually work… Pass it, you vote. Fail it, you don’t.

@ARCRaidersGame @EmbarkStudios Any chance of mod support for Speranza? If not, any chance I could contribute to some QoL improvements?

@josephk1980 @RonFilipkowski This is what we refer to as a false dichotomy

@RonFilipkowski Who would you rather take eating advice from?

I regret to inform America that this was just posted by the HHS Secretary.

@wormvoot @ThePrimeagen I know what you’re trying to say, but I can’t help myself. Meth would like to have a word with you, sir.

@ThePrimeagen I read it as everything is good in moderation. That there is some art in engineering, like there is poetry in literature. trad coding is a good name for it

I have been thinking about this a lot. I think for a great many of engineers, the ones who did it because they loved it only to discover that money was in fact at the end of the rainbow found both the journey and the destination satisfying. In fact, I think I can argue with authority that the destination was only satisfying as the journey was difficult. The hard-fought evenings spent toiling away on an idea and codebase that slowly gives way to your vision was an incredible experience. The group of people that fell into this category of hard-fought journey and destination we will call them tinkerers. One thing tinkerers have always hated is the already known problems. The journey is clear as day. The obstacles minor inconveniences. Its purely a matter of typing the solution into the terminal. This is also why I think so many of this group goes out and does open source, or starts companies. Work largely falls into this category with few exceptions. From this reason is why I largely find UI work soul sucking. I know the solution, its a matter of just looking up the details and putting it into my editor. yawn. CSS, flex box this, grid that, put the tailwind classes in the bag. To me, the LLM software world is with little to no journey and discovery. Its more of simply taking my high level idea and just formulating it into testable, atomic chunks that can be verified. I have traded my favorite part, discovery and raw creation, with itemized list of TODOs and patience and "No Mistakes." To this, every morning from 6 to 9 I simply just hand code every thin. even UI things. It is because I want journey and discovery and raw creation. Maybe one day comes and its just so futile that I stop this. But for now, I still see such great value in this. I see such better thought through products. Because slowing down and truly thinking through everything. The architecture, the design, everything is an expression of discovery and creation. And I love it. I am sure there will come a day, maybe even in the next 6 months where I change my mind. For now, I pursue the love of the game intentionally. I do also believe that there exists people who get the same joy I got from building with tears and sweat by prompting LLMs. I am positive of it. I just don't understand how. But people love UI work. I also don't understand that.

@RhyledUp Regardless all I want for my trans friends is to find a way to be gay (autocorrect. That was supposed to say happy but the typo is fitting..) in their bodies and to be accepted by society

@RhyledUp Gender dysphoria, wouldn’t that make the need for medical transition less urgent or entirely unnecessary?

@mysticwillz Undo can n be your friend too

Your SQL query missing WHERE clause. UPDATE ran on entire table. 8.9M records set to same value. Customer data homogenized. Orders all showing one address. $4.2M in shipping chaos. How do you restore individual records?

@RhyledUp It’s true

@rasmalai Rust

@i2cjak @eevblog I use NixOS. If I had to make a rec for everyone else it’d be mint

@eevblog Just use Ubuntu. Everything else is for extremely autistic people. I use Arch btw

Linux People: There are so many distro's. Can you please let me know which one you have all rationally agreed upon as being the best Linux distribution, so us normies can just use the best one without fuss and fear of ridicule. Thanks.

@Thrasher66099 @DearS_o_n Okay I’m no fitness expert but this is what I thought. Glad I was right 😂 Pull-ups are fucking hard.

@DearS_o_n Putting 20 pull-ups and 50 push-ups in the same criteria bracket tells me everything I need to know about your understanding of fitness.

YOUNG MAN, Your minimum base fitness level should be: - 50 push-ups - 20 pull-ups. - 50 squats. - 20 dips. If this sounds unrealistic, then you have SERIOUS work to do

@elonmusk Very obvious and clear difference and you’re rage baiting lol

They are all lying propagandists

@purpledrank7855 @NickAdamsinUSA Idk the black in the image is the same as the black in twitter dark mode on my phone. Seems pretty transparent to me. \s

President Trump is the most transparent President in US History, and it's not particularly close.

@rasmalai Rust

@RhyledUp I was gonna send this to you like “they forgot about you im so sorry” and really missed my chance lmao

@BrilynHollyhand No you’re just stuck in a social media algorithm and so you never saw the left do the correct thing.

The difference between the Left and the Right is when their base celebrated Charlie’s assassination, their leaders were silent. When Trump puts a stupid post up your feed is full of us calling out and asking for course correction. We’re not a cult. The Left can’t say that.

@AzAlexzZ @CaptainFlowers @atlasx100 Yesss not just me

@CaptainFlowers @atlasx100 I thought this would be more like: Always two there are. No more, no less. A master and an apprentice

Men who are more than 30 Give advice to men who are in their 20s The topic can be anything

@CaptainFlowers @atlasx100 Agreed, though this is not the rule of two I was expecting lol

@atlasx100 Rule of Two: When it comes to relationships, romantic or otherwise and making plans: If the other person bails on the plan for whatever reason, make a second plan. If they bail again, the ball is in their court. Do not invest in people who don't have the same investment in you.

@CallieJ496861 @RealJamesWoods I don’t think Trump is responsible for the decline, I think he put the nail in the coffin. The decline was initiated decades ago

If you could choose one person responsible for the decline in Western civilization, who would it be?
