Taxation is theft, under threat of force, and is amoral at its core. The necessity for govt to do so should be extremely minimized.
The number of people willing to say how other countries should steal money from their own people and how to spend it is fucking ridiculous.
If you don't live in the US, fuck you if you don't like the US govt not spending on specific things. I want most funding cut.
Just because I don't support the things you think my money should go to, doesn't mean I support the things other people want my money to go to.
Yeah, fascism is bad... Communism is worse. I can hate both just fine. My position comes largely thanks to having known expats from the USSR and other communist countries.
I block people who make personal insults... Becaase the conversation has already lost... I may get a quip in before blocking because yeah, I can be an asshole when you make personal insults and give it back.
Also, I'm half blind and don't always proofread before hitting send after using gesture input. Sometimes that makes my replies look weird at least try to understand and figure it out or ask. Don't be a pedantic asshole about it.
@pizzahut I'm thinking that maybe @pizzahut should hire skilled developers for their site instead of vibe coding and shoving out whatever AI slop they seem to be preferring.
@pizzahut went to your site, enter my address.. as items to cart. Sign in via phone so I can checkout... Now I need to enter my address again... Cart is now empty, address is gone.... #fail#lostsale#wtf
@fhinkel In fairness, I still review just about everything I have AI do... That said, more Rust than I'd be close to proficient in writing myself.
Even with poor abstractions, it's still often a faster and cleaner result than a scripted environment.
