What is C essential for anymore these days? Genuine question btw.

I thought C++ was essential for microprocessor control, but that it depends and sometimes I gather people use C instead, but not always.

Use the language that the company hires you to know:-).

Is this... Loss?

No son, this is winning:-D.

(I mixed two memes together but I hope you enjoy nonetheless:-)

Also, 95-99% of the time your vote doesn't matter for... "reasons". Including other votes (e.g. a liberal President paired against a conservative Congress), older votes (especially Supreme Court appointments), and non-votes (corporations are in control regardless of who or which party "wins"), etc.

One lever pull event barely scratches the surface - we did not get ourselves into this mess in a day or even a decade, and it would take even more effort to get ourselves out.

And somehow, even knowing that, the Democratic party went all-in on Hillary fucking Clinton, smh. Americans are basically responsible people, and we can count on everyone to eat their veggies, r-r-right!? Even without bothering to campaign, R-R-RIGHT!?

Trump did not even want to win - he was as much a symptom as he later fed that forward to become a cause himself.

Therefore I think that "we", the people who put effort into thinking things through, deeply, need to wake up and stop wishing and hoping that things will work out as we all hope and dream. Except that despite me saying "we", that's as far as I've gotten, so really truly it does not include me, who is merely a backseat onlooker hoping for my favorite team to win but offering little help along those lines to cause it:-). I don't know what the next step is regarding the latter, but I offer kudos for trying to get people to understand regardless:-).

Great, now set everything on fire to represent climate change? 🔥

Also more slaps delivered at a lower rate too. Basically just more slaps will do it.

Unless... does anyone want to test this empirically and let us all know the results of your experiment? :-P

In Rome, slaves would go into the bathroom to sit on the seat to warm it up so that your own personal butt cheeks did not have to touch cold stone.

I imagine the slaves would also be used to clean the toilet seat when you were done as well.

Possibly different slaves:-).
