-> file: fediverse/3480 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── @user-1541 if you give everyone science-fiction tech, they're going to just make a bunch of guns and nuclear weapons and destroy each other. worse, they might grow to fill their cosmic shoes and destroy others nearby who didn't make weapons. it takes a while for the Federation to get anywhere. Plus they're stretched pretty thin. If they gave everyone the same technology as they had, they'd quickly find themselves in the company of despots and warlords who were empowered to subjugate and control. Not ideal. Personally I think they should announce their arrival and offer citizenship to anyone who asked to be uplifted, while barring them from ever returning home and breaking the prime directive. I think that would be a decent middle ground... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/497 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── Blows my mind that for some people, hunger means "go eat right now" instead of "you are low on fuel" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3481 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: food-mentioned │ └──────────────────────┘ instant ramen noodles are an ingredient, not a dish ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3482 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────┐ │ CW: cursing-mentioned │ └───────────────────────┘ "Alright I'm not great with syntax so I'm going to write it in pseudocode first, and then if you'd like I can show you how I work through implementing the syntax. But first - do you want a robust solution, a quick solution, or a rapidly deployed and cheap solution?" using this trick you can pretend to be competent in any programming language, except maybe ancient ones like Fortran or strange ones like lisps or Haskell if they ask you to use a framework or something tho you're kinda boned because you need to know which functions to call and how to initialize context and such. When using a framework, the boilerplate is the code, which is why frameworks suck "don't call yourself a programmer" fuck off ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3483 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── sometimes I think about how it'll never be yesterday again and that makes me kinda sad. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3484 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: music │ └──────────────────────┘ haunting melodies of charm and grace, tempered rhythms of battle and chase - songs to call forth to the gods, songs to effulge from our hearts, songs of witness and primacy and birth and decay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5KqRRt2bj0 ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3485 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── @user-1544 yep that's like... my whole strat it totally works outside of the internet, because everyone online is politically invested -.- most everyone IRL is morally invested tho so they tend to follow what I'm saying and if they can't find any issues, then they'll believe your conclusions. I've also found that speaking what you believe is more efficient than highlighting contradictions in what they believe. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ |
