Being MAGA and being educated are mutually exclusive.

To believe in MAGA you need to believe there was a time in the past where America was great, but that that time has passed and that somehow there is a way to return to it.

Anyone with decent education realizes the myriad flaws with the very idea the movement is based on.

Functionally, when someone will not engage in good faith, what's the difference between a human and a bot?

If someone is not arguing cordially and supporting their position with facts, I don't care if they're human or not, they're a bot.

Article II Section 3 says the president shall take care to execute the laws faithfully. I do not see how a president could issue an official illegal order.

Takes a special kind of French citizen to wear a Nazi cap.

I guess I needed to specify that a phone should still be a phone.

I apologize for my overestimation.

Lots of scars on both these characters that you can't see. Maybe the problem isn't the people or the gender.

FWIW - I consider "notifications" a harmful anti-pattern.

There is no day-to-day thing that requires a notification.

You just won't concede that racism exists, and has existed in this country since its founding, will you?

I mean, that's the crux of the argument.

Either our country's education system failed you terribly and you're just incapable of continued learning, or you know fhe history and don't care.

Are you, too, tired of the rhyming?

You are a fintech dev using floating point? And your advice is to encode things as strings?

...

This is why I got out of fintech.

(I am sorry, I know there are horrors and I am sure I am not familiar with your exact scenario.)

Edit: just for anyone who passes by: try to stick with integers in a currency's smallest unit of division. (This is only one small bit of this problem, but the number of times I have seen currency values in floating point makea me psychotic.)

These JSON memes got me feeing like some junior dev out there is upset because they haven't read and understood the docs.
