The vast majority of sitting presidents run completely unopposed by their own party for re-election to a second term.

Who, do you propose, would disallow him to run?

WHY ISN’T BIDEN DOWN THERE THROWING PAPER TOWEL ROLLS AT THE GEORGIANS!?! /s

What’s with Twitter bots acting like Kamala Harris is already the President?

That’s the new attack line…the absolutely stupid charge that “Harris had 3.5 years to accomplish her presidential agenda while VP. Why didn’t she accomplish it yet?”…and a large portion of the country will probably buy it as a fair critique (because they’re idiots) despite it being obviously nonsensical.

You know, I’ve always loved C and doing my own memory management. I love learning optimization techniques and applying them.

That’s awesome, and honestly who knows what you’ll come up with if you’re given time to follow your passion there. Decades ago SCM was done through CVS and SVN and other pieces of garbage until Linus came out with Git which a main reason that it is so good IMO is its speed. Google Chrome arrived on the scene in a lot of the same way (of course now it’s as bloated a cow as any other browser, but at the time it was faster than anything available).

I don’t think you can blame people for trending away from quality software. Its clearly against the grain.

No definitely not. Electron is basically a creation of idiot middle management who insist that the web app and the app app be the same exact thing and be developed by the same group of understaffed, underpaid, underappreciated developers. So they worked out a framework to make it so they could change something in one place and have it reflected everywhere.

But it’s still as potato as it gets.

Not really. Democrats “idolized” their president so much they basically forced him out of the race for being too old. This applies to one side: Republicans.

I am indeed a short shit.

They do this shit like it’s their main job. Now they’ve moved on to sane-washing talk of giant faucets in Canada.

I’m pretty perfectionist about some things, but I honestly forget all of the time about this little crease in my phone. I thought I might give a shit before I bought a Motorola Razr last year, and now I often forget that it’s a foldable. Imagine if you will, a phone that actually fucking fits in your jean pockets…it’s worth the little (often invisible) crease.

What can the news do? If they dig into it, he didn’t really make any hard claims to roast.

They can quote him as saying there’s “a large faucet as big as perhaps this building and it takes a day to turn” and say there is no such faucet and move on with their day. That would be a much better thing than what they’ve been doing since 2015 which is this bullshit: trying to find a real life thing to attach his utterances to and then asking him if that was what he was referring to when he clearly wasn’t.

His talent is getting other people to fill in the blanks with his absolutely moronic speeches. For a time, people were arguing that “injecting disinfectant” was a great idea, actually, and trying to find science to back that up. Then he walked it back as a joke because he realized everyone except the brain washed lunatics in the country thought he was an absolute idiot for saying that shit.

It’s not the news media’s job to make a blathering imbecile make sense, and they are doing great harm to the country by treating him this way.

Amidst his weird, almost poetic rambling, the “very large faucet” Trump seems to have been referring to is the Columbia River. The Columbia runs from a lake in British Columbia, down through Oregon and eventually ends up in the Pacific Ocean. Trump’s apparent plan is to somehow divert water from the Columbia and get it all the way down to Los Angeles. However, scientific experts who have spoken to the press have noted that not only is there currently no way to divert the water from the Oregon River to southern California, but creating such a system would likely be prohibitively expensive and inefficient.

The fucking sane-washing continues. He’s not being poetic. He’s not laying out an “apparent plan” that we need to vet with “scientific experts”. He thinks there’s literally a fucking big faucet up there already as big as a building that “takes a day to turn” and he’s the only person smart enough to think of “turning the faucet” or the only one strong-willed enough to kill the smelt for the good of the forests or whatever.

People keep grafting actual concepts onto this absolute moron’s imbecilic utterances and giving him a leg to stand on…just fucking quote the asshole and move on with your day.

The part that got me was at the end he says something like “well anyways, you’ll have water and also illegal immigrants won’t kill your family”.

Great segue that. Masterful oration. That must be “the weave” that he keeps talking about. The thing where everything comes together “perfectly”. 🙄 /s

He lists this as “a big valve you just turn.”

Even stupider than that he calls it a fucking faucet.

The depths of his stupidity and the continual display of his complete lack of knowledge or curiosity about how anything works or ever could work makes me so irritated with his immovable, enabling moronic “base”.

He always grips onto and lurches over the lectern as if he’d fall over if it weren’t there.

You’re weak, and you need substances to abuse in order to continue on your pathetic existence.

There are plenty of reasons to drink a beer other than not having the “steel to handle the real world” on your own.

For instance, having to deal with annoying pricks like yourself.

I will also never understand how JavaScript development has gotten so complicated with seemingly zero benefits. It takes minutes to do a “frontend build” and the output grows larger all of the time. I bumped into some Angular crap that was hundreds of megabytes somehow, and still AJAX fetched the same info 4x on page load because the “MVCC” or whatever it’s called didn’t even buy them the abstraction of using the same values multiple times on one page…

Yep, many also think they’re exceptional, and so they’ve convinced themselves they’ll be the exception.

I have developed personalized tools as part of my job and I chose qt to write them in partially because if a company I work for would ever try to commercialize them, they’d have to either buy qt licenses or open source them.

I cheat a bit though because I use qt through python.
