Liebranca said @Demolishun My wife, God rest her soul, grew magic mushrooms in large plastic bags when she was studying chemistry in college. I'm not sure how she did it. Something about moisture. Possibly cow shit too, but she never mentioned that part. Anyway, the harvest was magnificent.,@jestdotty lmao, they absolutely went from protesting deportations to being all for it. Like what?

The point is, from what I can gather, these schmucks are considered "left" in the US, but the shit they're pulling disproves it -- the lie has been conclusively exposed, once and for all. Election drama is always dull and stupid, but this time man, this time we're stacking screenshots to the ceiling. Accountability police going to be busy over the next few years.

But you know what I think should happen? An *actual* radical swing to the left. None of that liberal bullshit, I'm talking AK-47 and Che Guevara up in this bitch. Doing it for real. Then we can point at their elected figurehead and say THAT is a fucking communist.

Until then, it's just nazis vs rainbow nazis.,@jestdotty I'm not left-wing myself, so you could argue that I don't know what "left" means either. Go figure. But anyhoo, I'm joking -- obviously I don't support revolutionary insurrections.

Or do I? ;>

As for your question: look up the french revolution -- absolute fucking bloodbath. Who's condeming that? Nobody. Some even celebrate it. Is it evil to execute citizen Louis Capet by guillotine? You tell me.

So *when* is killing evil? That's the question. And since I've already mentioned France, maybe look into what the french did in Algeria.

What do I believe? Surah el Hajj verse 39.,@Grumm Yeah, people attach weird ass connotations to moving from one country to another, as if that made one a kind of mystical "other" or some shit. Weirds me out.

No, I just find it remarkable how the political block most notorious for utilizing "minority" as a rhetorical resource was this fucking quick to scapegoat. Strikes me as all around messed up.

@dissolvedgirl From "guns kill people"  to "I KILL PEOPLE WITH GUNS"!

It's like poetry, it rhymes. Or something. It's a nice example of what I'm saying alright, people doing 180º like that in a fraction of a second. Just wild.

Never tried aiming in the dark but it sounds tough, more so if it's not in a city. I used to crawl through camp trying to suprise the guy who stood watch on the hill when I was in the boyscouts. In my defense I was like seven, and we were playing a game. Anyway, he always spotted me, but only when I got close, and I'm a pretty lousy sneak.,@Grumm Oh, absolutely, don't get me wrong: I know the man is bad news. He attempted a coup, as I recall. Shouldn't he be in jail?

But I'm a foreigner, and I don't expect changes to US foreign policy; I've never seen it happen. My opinion on every one of their presidents that were elected in my lifetime, based on how they meddled, destabilized and of course bombed other countries, is roughly equivalent.

People *within* the US are frightened of having to live through a mere microscopic fraction of what their government has historically inflicted on other nations. As to how this fear translates to spewing hateful vile towards immigrants for not sucking their cock hard enough, eh, let's leave that one as an exercise.

PS: everything and everyone originating from a single point is consistent with both abrahamic teaching and what I understand is the scientific consensus. By both accounts, everyone is related if we go far back enough in time.,Ah fuck, here goes ostream ruining the fucking thread again.,C is truly ubiquitous; even my fasm programs compiled *without* libc still have to deal with it, because the fucking kernel is written in C.

But they still think they can kill it: what a grand and intoxicating innocence. There is no escape. No SIG or INT can work in this place. Lay down your Chomsky hierarchy, it's not too late for mySegmentation fault (core dumped)

$:,Well done! I hereby grant you the rank of magus. Enjoy your reward.

** 20 crack cocaine rocks added to inventory.,Oh no! The Scatological Serpent! Repent your sins everyone, the end times have come!,@jestdotty Dude what's your deal. I told you not to summon actual demons and now you're all over my ass like it wasn't good advice.,@retoor C may be the easiest high level language to compile in your head, so to speak. Once you've read disassembly for a while it just comes naturally. The good thing about that is you don't have to do much guessing in regards to anything, particularily performance, because even at a glance you can get a good idea of what the compiler is going to generate.

People simply forget that the job revolves around telling a calculator which operations to perform. They may not like it, but that's the job. In truth, learning to read code way uncle Linus does is more beneficial than reading any fucking book.

Except the Dragon Book, maybe. MAYBE.,@atheist They're not too far off. Idiomatic C++ may generate more complex code at times depending on which features you use. But predicting what day-to-day stuff will compile to is usually about the same.,Up to around seven years ago I was using visual studio, simply because I was taught to write with an IDE and had never really questioned the logic of having to wait half an hour for the damn thing to boot.

Until one day I finally thought about it for five minutes and realized it was kind of stupid. And so I began working entirely from the terminal, just plain nano, make and gdb. I'm now an obnoxious arch user injecting software communism into his bloodstream on a daily basis. Totally not a cult thing. Hail GNU.,Counterpoint: in fringe cases, ownership requires transfer, and so more boilerplate is needed, eg https://github.com/Liebranca/...

The idea that higher abstraction is (by itself) better is downright kindergarten. Good code always takes time when dealing with a complex system.,I don't. I can handroll assembly for a few architectures, but I'm just not the kind of guy to build the board himself.,Masterpiece.,There's no superior choice. On Windows I'd get annoyances like random BSOD for connecting a peripheral through USB, or stupidly high disk/memory/CPU usage when idling, or sticky keys up the ass when playing a game, may whomever made that annoying popup and beep suffer hyperconstipating anal bleeding for all eternity.

Linux the kernel, itself, is perfect for stuff like what I need: GNU coreutils, gcc, perl, a plain tty, and nano for editing as a higher form of disrespect. If that's all then it's great.

But when you have to deal with graphic and sound cards it really does break down into incomprehensible fuckery. Virtually all hardware being proprietary means that open or ~ L I B R E ~ drivers and libraries are essentially guaranteed to fuck you in the ass -- unintentionally of course, but sodomized nonetheless.

This problem will likely outlive us all, until the army of Ben Eater acolytes start building GPUs for real; only on that day will we realize the Stallmanist utopia.,@Root I've decided I don't care to: people, common people, and most certainly otherwise good people, still ostracized me throughout my life -- I do *not* look to them for healing.

Am I resentful? Yes. But challenging this notion has never gone well. Matter of fact, trying to twist this fate around has only made matters worse thus far.

I don't know why it took me so long to write something as simple as this one comment. Maybe because it's pretty fucking bleak and that doesn't sit well with me either.,I have no opinion on desktop environments because I've never used one. Dude, straight arch+dwm, and that's it. Perfection...

well, okay, I had to recompile the window manager a few dozen fucking times. It was easy, I swear!,@Root Everyone needs people, alright. But at this point I might as well be hardwired for isolation, it's outside of my control. So whatever -- depression it is. I'm convinced the "well-adjusted" poor fuck on the opposite end feels about as miserable for different reasons. Perhaps he has it even worse, in which case, fuck him.

@nosoup4u I do feel bad for talking about death so lightly, as in I'm thinking it got dark pretty darn quick, yet I have to be honest at some point. Like the fuck am I doing. Waiting for حشيش to be sold in dispensaries probably.,CHAINING MAPS IS A PERFECTLY VALID SCHOOL OF MAGIC.,@kiki I am an obnoxious arch user and I approve of this message.,thibug,Holy fuck.,Fuck, I'm no longer ignored enough -- my name appears in retoor's magical charts. This is so humiliating. Brb, gonna brew some invisibility potions.,@Demolishun Well, I have this here black soulgem, so perhaps we can strike a deal. I could enchant your pants with the good shit, you know.```
