I think more people know about Arch from it being mentioned than who actually use it. Actually I think more people know about Arch from the meme of an Arch user mentioning it than who have mentioned using it.

Have to wonder why he stayed with the party when so much has changed since then.

The other one had plenty of stuff about Trump too, it seemed relevant. I was just wondering about the length, if that’s accurate he’s a machine.

I hopped around, is some of this looped or edited together? Good god, 12 hours?

Bills don’t often get passed on the first try. If anything you should be critical that this is only the second time, it ought to be a constant attempt to change a system that seemingly everyone not making a profit from is against. I’ll also say that the only way anything like this will get passed is through the left, the right does not want everyone to get a vote. So it will likely fail again somewhere unless the ratio of left-right shifts. As is true of any bills that favor the public good.

Bills are often started by one or a few people to get voted on by others. It will be resisted, but not by the side that would do well with a ranked choice with other left-sided third parties.

Over time, it is. It’s eliminating the source. In Terminator, Matrix, and others they say that the AI took a split second to act, but our AI doesn’t have those connections. It’s working with what it’s got.

Need an IRL ban like in Black Mirror.

We already knew this before, I think we were just hoping that it would bounce back some or we’d stop doing what we do. A fool’s hope.

Which is worse, the ones that leave a bag (perhaps unintentionally) or the ones that just don’t bother with the responsibility at all? When I had a dog I not only would clean up behind him, I would leave the bag untied until the end to capture what I could of the inevitable left piles I would run across. I’m sure cart return, dog poop, fast food containers, and the old cigarette butts are all under some human psychology grouping of ego superiority.

If you’re consolidating abandoned carts in the fringes, that makes you just as good, since you are creating a new cart return area that others might also contribute to. But when there are multiple cart returns that are partially used and still carts left on the way in various places in spaces, on the curb, and even right near the entry, those people are at a minimum lazy. My example is a Walmart that never fails this, so perhaps that skews things a bit.

It’s the ones left almost at the store that get me…you could have gone a bit farther. Why did you stop?

Trump after hearing the acceptance:

I just went to the movies and saw the poster for it, first time I had heard about it. I thought to myself, okay, whatever. Then in the trailers I saw not just a tease, but an ad for some theme park thing connected to the movie you can visit? And I thought, WTF?

SNL already did that long ago.

I don’t like extra dots simply because pattern matching might get weird down the road. Keep dots for extension type and use Pascal to make it easier to read multiple words. Flatcase only if it’s short or I’m lazy for a temp file.

The Reagan-Carter election is the first one I vaguely remember as a kid, and to have the news of the freed hostages get announced at the inauguration seemed so convenient even for a politically uninformed kid. Yet I heard so much of “see, he got elected and got them free!” NO, Carter did the work, dumbasses. At the cost of his reelection.

I think one paraphrase would be to push the limits, but not to the point where you’re the problem or asshole, and to use what you have at the moment wisely instead of waiting for the perfect solution to show up.

The secondary lesson here is, sometimes it’s better to not try and force in an analogy to be cute. People start arguing about the analogy and miss the original point.
