“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”

Crab battle!

That was my point. I didn’t word it correctly. The fuck up is thinking someone can be protected from being shot by surrounding them with “good guys with guns”. It’s a flawed premise. The secret service didn’t “fuck up”, they performed as expected.

I see people are misunderstanding my comment. I’m saying the “good guys with guns” argument is bullshit and this proves it. Trump is surrounded by good guys with guns. They didn’t help. Guns are the problem and anyone suggesting “good guys with guns” will stop gun violence is an idiot.

Nobody fucked up. This is how good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns. The bad guy shoots first. It’s unrealistic to think it would happen any other way.

Edit: the secret service was created in 1901. Since their creation they have protected 21 presidents. 4 presidents under their protection have been shot. JFK, Roosevelt, Reagan, and Trump. That’s a 19% failure rate. The bad guy shoots first.

That’s not workplace drama, you’ve described interacting with people. It’s difficult to say if it’s always been like this but social media hasn’t helped. People are now used to expressing their beliefs and opinions to everybody, no matter how polarizing or unpopular they might be. It’s not limited to the workplace.

For not caring about what people think, just remember that nobody’s opinion matters. Your favourite colour is yellow? Cool. You don’t like Taylor Swift? Great. You think all atheists should be killed? Neat. Opinions are like points on Whose Line Is It Anyway. They’re made up and they don’t matter.

In America, getting shot gives one “street cred”, which is invaluable when winning over the confidence of young voters.

The assassin hit their mark, but nobody will suspect it because they were standing behind Trump.

Get in the Teams Meeting, Shinji.

Reading psych studies on people who have authoritarian beliefs is eye opening. Here’s a study (pdf) that found authoritarians will seek out media that confirms their biases when scared. The “when scared” is important. Participants that weren’t scared showed no difference to non-authoritarians. The authors suggested that authoritarians will seek out confirmation of their beliefs as a mechanism of dealing with fear.

Trump rambles like an insane asylum resident literally every day and nobody bats an eye

You’re posting under a meme literally mocking Trump for rambling like an insane asylum resident. He’s been ordered by courts to pay $83.3 million for shit he has said and is actively being procecuted for other things. You don’t notice it anymore because Trump has been criticized daily for the last decade, whereas calls for Biden to step down are new, because he only recently started acting senile.

Seems like it should be really easy to find a democrate candidate who is both better than Biden and not a Nazi.

Get Hard

Good on First Nations for not forgetting Poilievre has spent most of his career saying Canada should stop giving them money or they won’t get jobs. If only the rest of Canada still remembered all the shit he said back when he was Harper’s puppy.

“My view is that we need to engender the values of hard work and independence and self-reliance. That’s the solution in the long run — more money will not solve it,” Poilievre said.

I played flash games as a kid on Newgrounds. There was an option to submit your own flash games and that made me curious as to how they were made. I searched tutorials on how to make flash games and that was my start.

Eventually I got interested in making programs outside of Flash. Still being a kid, I wanted to be the coolest programmer/hacker ever so I learned C (the only language hackers use) and intalled linux (the OS for hackers). I mostly use Python now since I can get projects done much faster.

It doesn’t matter what language you start with. Just learn the core concepts around loops, if statements, data types, data structures, object-oriented programing vs functional programming. Those concepts span across all languages and once you know them you can just google “how to splice string in (language here)” when you’re using a different language. C is great if you also want to learn how computers manage data and how data structures work from first principles, since in C you need to manage memory yourself and it doesn’t come with any advanced data structures built in so you’ll need to implement them yourself.

I now mostly use my programming knowledge for hobby stuff. I automate tasks, do programming challenges, and mod games.
