One of the most frustrating things that I see so commonly, is that when there is criticism of the Chinese government, it is almost always redirected into whataboutism about the US.
I'm not from the US or China. My views are that both these governments are terrible, though I admittedly am not very informed about China. But these kinds of non-responses do not help.
Edit: I do realise that this meme itself sort of sets up the comparison, but I just wish we could analyse the actions of each government independently, without making excuses for one by pointing fingers at the other.
Duolingo is good for "tourist style" language learning, where you learn some phrases, can recognise and read a few words, etc, but next to no chance of actually pulling off a proper conversation with a local.
The second syntax isn't actually enums at all, it's closer to a union type definition. You can't even define enum Colour = Red | Green | Blue using your second syntax.
I don't think there is brigading, I keep coming across these posts on /all, no doubt many others too. If the posts on lemmy.ml are not supposed to be seen/interacted with by other instances, why is it federated with them?
Forth is fairly different AFAIK. If you want a "Forth style" language for general purpose, with more "batteries included", try Factor! It's a really nice language.
I had hoped that as we as a society realised that gender is performative, it would make gender and these arbitrary gender roles less and less meaningful, to the point of eventually being effectively erased. That people could just say "this is my personality" and be accepted without needing to wrap it into definitions and groupings.
However what seems to be happening instead (from my perspective and experience) is that people are embracing the performative nature of gender more strongly, albeit with new non-traditional genders.
As a specific example, it seems like having one pronoun for everyone regardless of gender, would be better than inventing new pronouns in addition to the traditional gendered ones.
Note that I am happy to learn/hear other perspectives, or how mine is flawed.
I mean, he clearly thinks death is an acceptable punishment, but only for the very worst of crimes, which he decided that 37 people didn't qualify for.
