Meh, it’s depends on what you do. I know several low level C engineers who would be far more comfortable rolling a fresh driver over doing some more abstract intro CS projects.

I have read the entire series multiple times and am enjoying the show just fine

By pretty much every measure China lagged the industrial world for several decades. China beat Japan in WW2, a country which got nuked twice, and didn’t pass the much smaller country in economic output until the mid 90s. Pretty much everyone outside China agrees that Mao’s policies held them back immensely due to poor economic planning and continuous political strife.

It’s actually the opposite - the idea that you need a revolution to enact change is meant to keep you demoralized and pacified because you won’t get off your couch unless you see people marching in the streets.

China famously had some pretty massive famines after the revolution as well. China’s real ascendency happened after Mao had been gone for a while and reformers were able to change his worst policies. China still struggles to this day to elevate its massive rural population, with more than half not receiving a high school education.

But more to the point, all industrial nations saw the exact same (and more) living improvements, so it’s hard to really attribute it to political violence.

This is the difference though. Many modern leftists insist that iterative harm reduction under capitalism is exactly the same level of oppression as being a feudal serf. That’s actually the core basis of their thesis - that any capitalism is literally violence against them and therefore justifies violence against others.

Have there been just revolutions in the past? Of course. But overthrowing kings and dictators is quite a bit different than tearing down a society which has both injustice but also a high standard of living. It seems to imagine that only the injustice will be eliminated through violence, which is demonstrably untrue.

Most modern revolution mindset is both childish and often used as a way to shield and justify the real underlying cynicism and lack of willingness to put in work.

END of a genetic line, the end of a name, the end of a dynasty, the end of a family. These things are hugely important to people.

Ohhh noo…

Anyway.

Nah, we have been in a situation now for a solid 5-6 years where if you can charge at home it is both cheaper and more convenient to commute with an EV, yet the internet is still filled with people convinced it isn’t viable because they make a single 400 miles trip every year

And we are going to look back in ten years and realize that a ton of it was big oil misinformation about EV utility.

Right now, an EV will add around 10 minutes of travel time per 300 miles over an average gas vehicle, and that’s if you are really working hard to minimize stopping time on the ICEV. For most people who can charge at home, this means they will save far more time by not visiting a gas station every two weeks than they will lose on occasional road trips.

Yet if you go to any discussion on the internet, you will see tons of the same shit where people have this mistaken idea that their one 5+ hour trip per year somehow prevents them from having an EV.

Not everyone is an extrovert. Spending hours doing nothing but making small talk is legitimately excruciating for many people, and it has nothing to do with “skills.” Having a premise for social interaction besides “let’s grill each other for hours” is socially inclusive.

After a certain point of familiarity there just isn’t much left to say.

This makes it seem like jerking off to MILF porn is hard because there is a learning curve

Great so now I will mangle all my merge commits depending on which version the host is using.

The M stands for beefcake
