The video was well researched and overall a very good description of life in salt lake, less so in other counties like st George. As he said in the video 80% of the population resides in "the valley", and he didn't really concern himself with the rest of the state. I also wouldn't choose to live in Provo or Spanish Fork as a queer person despite them being in the valley, but I wouldn't consider them dangerous or actively hide it there.

Avoiding global variables is just something dumb people do to protect themselves. Real programmers declare every variable before Main.

If you don't like bananas, potatoes have a lot more potassium by both weight and calories

I think you're looking too deep. The ghost of Christmas future shows you how unimportant you are, but the character doesn't care since the world is better than expected.

How can you simply learn about a fact that doesn't effect your life and just move on!? Get angry, be horrified, buy a weirdly long picket sign and go to every pride parade to express your discomfort and let it putrefy into a deeper bigotry

Historically "racist" is the bunk pseudoscience that claimed white people are more intelligent than other racial groups. When you refer to someone in the modern age as racist you are comparing them to those idiots. It wouldn't make a lot of sense to compare somebody to that group for disliking white people.

To answer the deeper question you're hinting at, although the post is racially predigest, making fun of white people for being white is generally considered punching up which is not frowned on in the same way as punching down.

As a robot, finding bikes in pictures is really hard, okay

He was the US secretary of state in the 1970s who finally died today after far too long living free. The 3 page rolling stone article is about as quickly as somebody could summarize his more notable war crimes. Admittedly the article is pretty biased, but also fuck hearing the other side of the story about a man responsible for so much death and pain.

Tldr: he extended the Vietnam war for about 5 years because it benefited him personally, he convinced Nixon to bomb Cambodia and laos which were not involved in any combat with us, he was involved in the coups that overthrew the democraticly elected governments of Peru and Argentina, he encouraged the use of nuclear bombs in battle on numerous occasions, and that's just for starts. The rolling stone article claims he is indirecty responsible for about 4 million deaths. They don't list the directly responsible number, but its likely in the one million range.

You're missing the only one that actually works for me. Get up at roughly the same time every morning. I won't do it, but I should.
