Spring JPA Query methods are kind of like the composite words. You just declare a method with a name that describes the database query you want, and it generates the code and SQL for you.

I suspect the responses you're getting stem from the original phrasing:

what’s the point, evolutionarily, to self destruct after reproducing

The question has an implicit claim that there IS a point, which people are rightly pointing out is not necessarily the case (as you have acknowledged). It certainly is an interesting question to wonder if there could be some benefit anyway, so it would probably have helped to frame it that way.

Not saying anyone is required to meet any kind of bar in the level of discourse in a casual online forum, just an observation of cause and effect, for what it's worth.

Evolution doesn't make deliberate, strategic choices. Random mutations result in new behaviors/properties that may or may not be beneficial, and selection removes those mutations that prevent reproduction from the gene pool. Not every mutation will be beneficial, but as long as it's not harmful enough to stop reproduction, it can persist.

If there were two groups of octopuses, one with the self-destructive behavior and one without, then there would be pressure from competition. In that situation, your point would have more of an impact. But without that pressure, there's nothing to drive the selection. And the mutation won't occur just because it would be helpful for it to do so - it's random.

At least, that's how I understand it. I'm not a biologist or anything.

At least a blåhaj is kind of like a pokémon.

The problem is that what you describe is not conservatism, it's just basic competence in governance. It's an impressive achievement of the radical right that they have managed to get people to conflate the two.

What about the trolls?

I would have been happy to keep giving them money too, if they hadn't kept doubling down on shady and abusive practices like tying digital purchases to hardware, forcing online check-ins for offline games, and patent trolling. That doesn't matter one jot, though, since the broad appeal of their products means their audience largely consists of people who don't notice or care about things like that in the slightest. Makes me wonder if that's part of the strategy, but then again, I doubt it's any different for Microsoft or Sony, so maybe it's moot.

Ive Had Enough in my ass

you only need to clean your spoon

Don't you need to clean the rice cooker?

I'm not trying to be a smartass, I'm just that desperate that I'm hoping to find out you don't need to.

What if you want ease on a terminal?

In a professional context, you might end up on servers that don't have nano installed, but do have vi. Or if you're helping out a friend on their laptop, they might not have the same software as you. Or if you often end up tinkering with random devices and/or setting up new systems it might be tedious to install the same applications every time.

It's basically an argument for learning the very basics of the most common editors so you have flexibility no matter where you end up. Even when you have the ability to download and install your preferred software, it's still an extra step that might not be desirable for a variety of reasons. But if it's just your own personal device, I see no problem with just installing whatever you prefer and running with it.

EDIT: Personally, I find that I don't end up using those other editors often enough to remember the abstruse commands of tools like vim, so I'm not worried about it. When it does happen, 99% of the time I can just whip out a smartphone and look up the directions for the n-dozenth time.

I'm the same way with mushroom spots.

He used to at least be smart enough to have a good PR team, but even that has collapsed in recent years.

Accuracy aside, I would love to see someone take this idea and turn it into a parody/remake from their perspective in the style of "Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle".

This also qualifies as an ice cream antisocial: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/10137657

Trigger warning: explaining jokes in way too much detail.

The phrasing is a reference to the "Is this a pigeon?" meme (see: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/is-this-a-pigeon ). This is meant to indicate that this is clearly not egg_irl, but the topic of the original post seemed like something repressed trans people can relate to in hindsight. It reminded me of a common pattern among eggs where there's a vague but insistent internal voice (not literally a voice, more like an occasional impulse) telling you to do things that you associate with your actual gender, rather than your assigned gender, with varying effects depending on the person. For example, it generally made me feel uncomfortable without understanding why, leading me to assume I simply didn't like those things, when in fact that was more or less the opposite of the truth.

Anyway, these sorts of things can make the idea of an unknown, voiceless, internal personality separate from your surface-level persona resonate with trans people. Add the fact that when you're deeply involved in gender issues and transitioning, it's so much on your mind that there's a tendency to interpret everything as being somehow related to gender even when it isn't, and it seemed like a good fit for the pigeon meme.

I imagine they’d count capital gains in the analysis

The NYTimes analysis is just about income taxes

Aren't you contradicting yourself here?

Is this egg_irl?

ROFL, I always wondered if that was intentional or not. Thanks for solving the mystery!
