I collect vintage and iconic computers as a hobby, and the only reason i bought a win98 machine was so I could play DOS games on the real hardware. But otherwise yeah, it can do most things youd use a modern computer for very well other than it shouldnt connect to the internet.
So, I'm not the person you're replying too, nor am I a member of this minority group, but I do consider myself an ally. I do not personally know how offensive what was said is so I won't comment saying "it's not that bad" or anything of the sort.
But this is a thing I've seen in leftest communities where we don't know when to use the carrot vs when to use the stick. I'll admit I've said things in hindsight I feel awful about. But I've corrected that behavior because my friends knowing my good intentions lead me to be a better person. Here and like other similar communites however instead of talking to people in good faith to try to correct their behavior instead choose to punish and ostrisize them.
I don't know what your admin team's chat with the programming.dev admin team looks like, but I hope it can be resolved. I'll be very disapoinyed with my admins if it can't and will leave in solidarity.
Yeah this is whats actually happening. The inventor of the bullet proof vest would litterally get shot to show how safe it made the wearer.
Second amendment of the US constitution. It's text is:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
And what that means is up to "interpretation" and some think it means that everyone with no restrictions what so ever should be able to buy guns on a moments notice. Its the main reason why we have this problem state side.
Yeah split my state back in half you weirdo. Its supposed to be 2 peninsulas.
Yeah, now imagine every linkedin influencer posting functionally identical nonsense but playing it straight and acting like its inspirational.
Theres a reason the dog post got so much traction on linkedin.
Anyone out of the loop the dog pist says:
"Yesterday I was walking to an interview. There was a starving dog on the road. I stopped to feed him & missed the interview. The next day I got a call asking to come in to do the interview. I was surprised, but I went. Then the interviewer came in. He was the dog."
I'm still mad about how dirty they did Suki in TLoK. Not even a fucking offhanded mention.
Theres a few schools of thought when it comes to teaching math. Theres the camp that thinks that you should see 285 X 342 and figure out in your head its 97,470. Then theres the other group that goes, well we just need to teach them the concept and then the students apply it. Its people in the first camp that said you'd never have a calculator and just isn't a realistic take on the world anymore. Very rarely do I have to sit down and remember what sin(30) is, but I can still do the trig work I've needed in my day job as a software developer.
Yeah, I remember being told this in 2005. Granted phones then were just phones with the calculator program built in because its an easy thing to tack on that costs basically nothing to add. I had a cell phone by then that was basically my own home line (it was always just at home for friends to call me), but like even then adults were largely expected to have a phone of their own. A few years later the 1st iPhone came out.
Some old reddit comment by some guy going by wadsworth stated that the firat 30% of the video is useless.
Munecat i think did an amazing video on sovcits. And hey now, we only started this problem but weve apparently exported it everywhere else.
