You say that as if somebody was disputing that.

The distinction ceased to be meaningful the minute language servers got introduced.

Laptop tries to reboot for 5th update of the day

I can't connect to the internet, Dave, I'm afraid I cannot allow you to start me up again

You try to ignore helpful tips from the guy next to you, pretending your headphones are still active.

You choke back tears as Windows had enough from your feeble attempts to boot and the power button stops doing anything.

The comments you saw aren't by the same people or are they?

What? Why would you permanently compress it?

I don't see Ben Shapiro as an “opponent”. His weapons-grade bad takes aimed at nothing but to stoke the fires of a culture war simply are vile.

Try spending a new year's eve in e.g. Germany.

everybody above the age of 15 can and will start fireworks in close vicinity to everyone else doing it. You do not feel safe.

Doesn't apply to the author here, so I don't understand why you brought it up?

They accepted one that adds gender neutral pronouns in more than one place instead lol

We could maybe give people like her a glimpse into the sheer defiance that nature has against all attempts to fit into tiny categorical boxes.

It's not just the topics that she doesn't understand (especially the intersection of gender with endocrinology and neurology), but everything.

If you are a biologist and think you have found a rule that applies to some part of biology, you will feel deeply uncomfortable until the inevitable exceptions start cropping up that tell you that while the theory is still statistically sound, it's not unnaturally strict and therefore plausible.

Obviously trans people exist and are valid. Thinking otherwise would be ignoring mountains of biological patterns and data that tell us that every binary in biology isn't actually clean-cut.

Yeah, everyone is the hero in their own story, so from their perspective, they surely feel like they know things until they meet an actual biologist challenging them.

TERFs invoke half-remembered high-school level biology as if it was mathematical fact. In actual biological reality, nothing is binary or absolute. I don't need a PhD in computational biology to know that, but if surely helps.

How about being a compassionate human being who tries to understand the conversation partner's fears without bowing down to misinformation? If that's not enough for them because they see debunking their bunk as personal attack, I don't think anyone from outside of their cult is an acceptable conversation partner for them.

Leftists who aren't completely brain-dead will of course vote for his administration.

Are they aware that even an almost-corpse could follow their advisors and therefore end up having an effective presidency? As long as Biden doesn't start doing random senile shit (and be realistic, he's far from that)

Lol, have you seen a Republican recently?

If he loses. Maybe the complacent non-voters learned something. No thanks to the Ds, but neither Trump nor Biden winning is a done deal

Why would it? Biden stands for the policies they want. He's also the more capable president, since he is actually able to correctly remember and cite statistics unlike Trump who is only interested in golf and polemics.

You're right, of you have compete freedom, do that. If the place you want or need to go to is most comfortably reachable via rattlesnake road, bring boots.

In other words, if you don't think the wasm landscape is mature enough to build a web thing with it, you are stuck with JavaScript, but you don't have to rawdog it. I haven't run in a single weird thing like this in years of writing typescript with the help of its type system, ESLint and a formatter.

It's how dishwashers work: more cycles = more rinsing, then later rinse it all off.

You could do a quick pre-wash, then a long cycling of water, and lastly a rinse with clean water.
