Andrew Tate is a mysogonist fuck-up profiting from dumbasses and his "very legal" whore buisness.

Parents who purchase animal products care more about their “personal choice” than the world they’re leaving for their children. Bacon is more important to them than their own kids.

The stock market should not exist. Investing in companies is fine, but we shouldn't be able to buy our sell investment shares like a commodity.

All subsidies should not exist. They only alter the supply/demand in unnecessary and damaging ways. This must come with ending commodities trading like stock market investing.

Starfield is fun.

I don't want to get rid of daylight savings, because it's still a better option than keeping either summer or winter time.

Edit: another one: not having kids does not in any way contribute to solving environmental problems, we need MORE young, educated minds who have a chance to figure it out (as terrible as it sounds to push problems on the new generation), and we should ensure that in the event that we do manage to stabilize the situation, we won't instead have fucked up demographics to deal with.

People who are unable to smoothly merge or use slip roads without slowing down 500m before even starting to turn off should have their licenses revoked unless they take a driving course to correct their behaviour.

People who zigzag should just be put in a gulag however. Scum of the earth.

Coffee tastes bad, coke zero is great first thing in the morning, and egg nog is better without any alcohol in it.

C is not a great language but is the best language we have.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What about rust? Isn't its goal to be a modern c? Not that this is my opinion just something i read.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rust is a better C++ replacement than C. Something like Odin would fit the mold better than Rust ever will.

Is it because c/odin is even lower level or what is the difference in your opinion if you don't mind explaining.

I try to make sense of the whole programming world but it is just so complex and most of what is written is pretty dry so i like to ask people.

Simplicity of design. Rust is built cleverly. It has lots of features and there are also tons of clever ways to solve a problem. Odin is quite simple and although not entirely minimalistic, it is written in a very clear way when approaching a problem. The borrow checker in rust in one thing I would call clever. It takes time to get used and although can be quite useful for safety it is too clever.

Humanity cannot and will not change its practices fast enough to avoid running out of resources we keep ourselves dependent on because it's "profitable." We are a doomed species and won't be around for very much longer. We are likely living in the flash of bright before the long dark. I don't think the world my grandchildren live in will be remotely like the one we have now.

I'm perfectly fine hedging my bets and living life normally, but I think our longevity is an uncomfortable truth most people don't want to face.
