For the same reason painters display their canvases and not their brushes.

Most probably, yes. A lot of these are fundamental concepts of most modern object-oriented languages that I am familiar with. It may be worth refreshing your basic programming skills/concepts with a book you like. There are plenty available online for free in C#, Java, C++, Go, etc.

If you have to ask someone else, then you probably won’t finish, and if you do, it will suck. Read some recently published papers, see what looks interesting to you, then check out the “future research” section that many of them will have.

Thanks man! I appreciate the advice and will absolutely keep it in mind. I’m happy to know that your life is moving in a good direction too. It helps remind me that it is possible and that I’m not alone. Happy new year!

Weirdly same boat. Known the girl for about 2 years, but just started dating about a month ago. I love her so much! Prior to her, no 3rd dates in about 10 years.
The big difference is that I live in my mom’s basement and she is the hoarder, and her stuff invaded my space. I started therapy and have begun making plans to be moved out by February, hopefully in an apartment much closer to work to boot! In the meantime, almost all of her stuff is out of my current bedroom and I’ve moved furniture around to be more functional for me.
I’ll also throw out going back on OCD meds, and smoking pot for the first time in my 29 years of living to manage panic attacks. Highly effective, and basically no side effects.

Great film - I think the world would benefit from more people watching it. But it is so depressing, I don’t think it is a film everyone should watch.

2002 ford explorer. You don’t see many 20 year old cars on the road at all, but that thing was already a rare sight by 2012 when I ignorantly bought mine.

After owning that pile of scrap for 2 or 3 years, when the 2nd transmission gave way and the front left suspension just sorta collapsed in on itself, I was left surprised that any of those cars survived beyond 2003.

Cant speak to OP, but this was lovely and maybe helped me with some stuff. Thank you!

For anyone in the area of Unicoi, TN, there is a group meeting at the high school tomorrow morning to help clean debris and distribute supplies.

Depends on the context. I have day-ta, you have dah-ta. They use dah-ta, and their conclusions are supported by the day-ta. That day-tabase holds lots of day-ta, and that dah-ta sent across the network.

Yeah, except my experience, it was in a team speak server, smoking cigarettes over a game of unreal or quake 3 instead of a 3" diameter cigar over a game of chess. Spiritually and effectively the same as in those old biographies though.

For reference, this was at a midsized state university in the south in the early 2010s

I also like the Scorpion King. Even further, I like the Scorpion King franchise, especially 3 and 4

Titan AE has exactly 50% on Rotton Tomatoes, but I’m giving it a shout out anyway because it is an underrated gem

For whatever this is worth, he is argumentative & unfriendly enough for him to be mentioned multiple times in this thread as a famous asshole. (Note, many comments have now been “removed by mod” - but they were there. Just mentioning it in case someone tries to Ctrl+F their name to verify.)

I saw a comment the other day where they (Flying Squid) claimed to be in their 40s. Idk about mental health issues, but they are incredibly hostile/argumentative in comments.

Ok, will do! You have fun ignoring facts that are contradictory to your worldview. At least we agree that it was “unfair for [you] to get into too much of a back and forth about the video without having any idea what’s in it.”

He calls out citations for claims in the video

So, to be clear, after 3 highly confrontational comments about how bad the contents of the video are, you STILL have not watched it? I think you are right, we are done here. This was such a weird pro-ignorance hill to die on.

So, I was right that you didn’t watch the video, and instead of watching the video, you STILL did not watch the video. And you STILL don’t know what the core of the video is about because AI is shit at summarizing stuff like this. It wants to present a list of talking points, but does not know how to emphasize important parts or highlight which parts were focused on the longest.

I don’t have the time to debunk all of this gish-gallop. The main points are that what you identified as “If this was the core of the video, it’d be grand” and “More good stuff” - IS the core of the video - taking up, a roughly estimated, 15 minutes of the 21-minute video runtime. Your speculation that “The solution is not to vote for Biden/Harris” is incorrect, as the actual call to action was to be more active in Democratic primaries. (Specifically calls out George Ladimer vs Jamal Bowman in New York as an example).

Honestly? If this video was being made in 1995 or 2004, it’d be great.

Yeah, pretty much exactly what I said in my original comment. Most of this video is providing historical context and explaining how the modern American political-economic system works.
