  • Python, but this is actually defined and documented behavior.

    Edit: to illustrate what I mean:

     
        
    not() # True
    
      

    this actually is not () (the lack of space makes it look like a function), () is a tuple, in python an empty collection returns False, this is to make checks simpler. You can type:

     
        
    if my_list:
      do something
    
      

    instead of

     
        
    if len(my_list) > 0:
      do something
    
      

    not negates it so you get True

     
        
    str(not()) # 'True'
    
      

    converts resulting bool type into a string representation

     
        
    min(str(not())) # 'T'
    
      

    This might feel odd, but that's also documented. min() not only allows to compare two numbers like it is in most languages, but you can also provide a sequence of values and it will return the smallest one.

    String is a sequence of letters.

    Letters are comparable according to ASCII (so you can do sorting). In ASCII table capital letters are first, so the 'T' is the smallest value.

     
        
    ord(min(str(not()))) # 84
    
      

    this just converts 'T' to Unicode value which is 84

     
        
    range(ord(min(str(not())))) # range(0, 84)
    
      

    This creates a sequence of numbers from 0 to 83

     
        
    sum(range(ord(min(str(not()))))) # 3486
    
      

    This works like min() except adds up all the numbers in the sequence together, so in our case 0+1+2+3+...+83 = 3486

     
        
    chr(sum(range(ord(min(str(not())))))) # 'ඞ'
    
      

    reverse of ord(), converts Unicode value to a character.

  • If we give up, you are right, there won't be any.

    But we also can't just wait and think everything will be fine by next election.

    The current administration wants us to be a dictatorship. When they talk about third term, they wants us to hey used to the fact that he will stay in power until his death.

  • Take a look at content of this book (published in 1997): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics#Content

    It was unthinkable that brexit would happen back then. But a lot of things described happened, because Putin is following this plan.

    War in 2022 kind of put things sideways, but now it's resuming with trump.

    Those oligarchs have no loyalty to the countries they live in, they do whatever makes them richer. They are the most bribeable people.

  • Speaking of radio. They used doge to kill VOA and Radio Free Europe funding (perhaps that's where the "ask the congress" comes from). As I understand a judge reinstated the funding, so the next thing trump did was shuttinh down the satellite that was responsible for broadcasting to Russia.

    Shows who his real masters are.

  • I am fortunate enough that my family don't have to worry about being undocumented, but I still find it absolutely reprehensible what this administration is doing and I don't want those kid kidnappers anywhere near my kid's school or any school.

    Using kids for attacking families of undocumented parents shows how truly evil the current administration is. It's a Nazi level shit.

  • Trump paid to send them there, and plans to even send American citizens.

    US has its own prisons, and many are for profit, so they generate money from prisoners.

    Now questions is why would we send people to a foreign country, and pay them to keep prisoners?

    The answer is simple: CECOT is used to outsource getting rid of people. And unless US continuously pays them to hold them (which I doubt it was more than one time fee), CECOT has no benefit of keeping those people alive.
