Using "themselves" for a non-binary person or unspecified gender is grammatically incorrect.

It's "themself." (Unless they're plural.)

Also, "Latinx" is performative white ally cringe. It's not pronounceable in Spanish. Use "Latine." -e is the obvious gender neutral ending.

thank you.

I really don't get how so many people find Python "ergonomic." kwargs and their consequences have been a disaster for the human race. they break type hinting and intellisense, and there's all kinds of proxy class shenanigans that all the libraries use. matplotlib is a horrible experience because there's just a kitchen sink of options, and it's hard to dynamically update plots. if there were a TypeScript-like dialect of Python I wouldn't have problems, but Python's type hinting is absolutely wretched.

I really want Julia to succeed.

and ironically, LLMs could be great for this! recognizing what's ads and what's content, what's slop and what's high-effort, wading through the cesspool of feeds and dark patterns to find the stuff that's relevant to you.

unfortunately, the money is in using LLMs to generate more slop and make things even worse, not make it better.

imagine how hot those brake pads were, converting that much momentum directly into heat in a flash. glad they didn't bump into each other, since even a minor crash could turn into an inferno if leaking jet fuel contacts brakes that hot.

not so fun fact: Ann Coulter wanted to sleep with my dad when he was in college, and once invited him to her house for the weekend, but he turned her down. I thank my lucky stars everyday that Ann Coulter isn't my mom.

the content is better than I remember, having watched the video you linked. I guess I'm just cranky about the particular way that thumbnails and video titles have converged on YouTube.

it sounds like you and your neighborhood have chosen tent cities over crack houses, then.

my unpopular opinion: homeless encampments in the US are a result of housing becoming unaffordable.

I'm not saying most people ended up in tent cities because they couldn't afford rent. usually people will sleep in their cars, find a spot in a shelter if one's available, crash with relatives etc. at least here (Seattle) most of those who live in big tent cities are homeless because of mental illness: drug addiction and/or psychosis.

but serious addiction isn't new. where did addicts live in the '80s? crack houses! before real estate turned into gold, there was plenty of mold-infested, aabestos-ridden, lead-painted substandard housing left abandoned or rented cheaply by slumlords. junkies could sleep there.

now, most of those buildings have been torn down and luxury condos rebuilt in their place, at least in the big cities.

I'm not pro-crack den. the old buildings were health hazards. but junkies can't afford the upscale housing that replaced them. they can barely afford tents.

JD Vance is Catholic. he converted right around the time his political ambitions deepend. Leonard Leo (Federalist Society president) is Catholic, as are most of FedSoc leadership. Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh are Catholic.

the deep power in the RNC is very conservative Catholic.

based as fuck. I'm so glad some Democratic governors still have our back.

Sleazy Musk, sleazy DOGE, will he let X go?
