Correction: you don't work around dangerous things assuming you'll make a mistake long

manually etch the bits yourself. Just use a hammer and chisel

"...I don’t think it’s a bad thing, it’s nature."

We do a lot of things that aren't natural but still benefit us or others. On the flip side, rape, pedophilia and murder are all "natural"—that is to say, they happen in other species of animals—and yet most of us would probably condemn more than 0 of those.

"You wouldn't deny a lion its prey" is a terrible take, I absolutely would if I could. The major difference is that lions are: obligate carnivores, don't speak english nor understand human morality, and-more importantly—known to kill humans for getting too close. If I could save a gazelle and make sure the lion doesn't starve, I'd absolutely train them to eat garbanzelles and zebrussels.

"And as long as we do that ethically... Instead the focus should be on ethical..."

How does one even form a system of ethics when the fundamental premise is not the sanctity of life? Seriously, what's the point of following any rules if I can just kill anyone who takes exception to my behavior?

εὐαγγέλιον

/eu̯.aŋ.ɡé.li.on/

Roughly pronounced ayoo-ahn-gay-lee-on

Or if that's not a compelling argument

新世紀エヴァンゲリオン

/ɕiɲseiki ebangeɾioɴ/

Roughly pronounced Ay-bahn-gay-lee-on

And that's really what matters: how the guy who named it pronounces the name.

Chili without beans is just spiced meat water. You don't like chili, you like stew.

You got 6 digits on each hand?

Structured. Structured Query Language

It's the only way that makes sense to parse. Imagine if literally anything else worked with the minor amounts first.

This thing costs 25 cents and 3,000 dollars

The time is currently 45:9.

This program is v11.7.9 and the next release is v0.8.9

I don't like "mixed number" format, like 1/4 and 648,3. I'd much rather say "five hundredths, two tenths, six ones, four tens, 8 hundreds and 3 thousand"

I guess a lot less recipes would get overseasoned though.

spaces work fine for natural language, but what about regular languages. How should a programming language parse something like

x = 1 234

Sure that works fine in whitespace agnostic languages, but in something like shell script, it could mean "1,234" or ["1", "234"] (currently, it would be the latter). In a functional language (e.g. Haskell) it would also be parsed as 2 separate numbers.

As a southerner, I do have to duel you now

Yes actually. They add a nice tangy tartness to an otherwise blandly sweet salad. Here's one of my favorite dishes of all time (minus the lemon zest, that's overkill)

Also pineapple on pizza is great, I'll go down with this ship. Y'all missing out on the sweet/savory/salty combos can hate all you want

And that's assuming they even have a support staff. Most of the time I see this bullshit, it's small dev teams maintaining niche software with less than the bare minimum of documentation.

The only problem I have with your stance is that it's not petty, pointless nor pedantic. It's a plague on the world of software. Discord is terrible for the use-case it's intended for (group chats), why the fuck are people using it for their community forums????
