honestly it’s less magic and more cosmic horror, fungi are literally the source of most of the organic decay we’re used to (especially rotting trees), and the fact that they effectively are the ground in many places is not in any way magical because aaaaaaa

i wish they’d at least compare it to a computer network instead, there’s no intelligence, just information being passed along.

well why is it good? why not just assume the boilerplate as the default and require the user to override it if they want to do something fancy?

it’s just busywork to always need to write the same stuff, and it also makes the code less readable and many people look at all that boilerplate and nope the fuck out.

This is why python is so good for getting people to realize that programming isn’t magic, you just write the equivalent of one short sentence and BAM text in the terminal, no need to import the basic ability to print text which is so incredibly inane.

maybe some people use similar-looking pumpkins with way more woody flesh?

wait a minute

SYN-ACK

isn’t that technically how it works for all arthropods? Anything vaguely limb-like is in fact a heavily derived leg, including antennae.

shoutout for using thorn and eth, but man using just eth as a short for “the” took me a couple seconds to figure out.

afaik it’s supposed to be pronounced “boo-opps”

just use ublock origin??

Caribou!

indeed

i would NEVER suggest burning down factories, as those can be quite easily reconfigured to produce useful things or simply be converted into quite nice neighbourhoods.

this is why we should make all medicine tasty, i don’t forget to take my vitamin gummies and sweetened fluoride(fluorine? the tooth one) tablets.

this is why i want to live in a big city (for you americans that means larger than 100k people, i don’t mean “tokyo”), you can always find something sensible open even if it’s on the other side of the city, and public transport generally at least somewhat operates even at 3am.

when will now be then?

i love how people bend over backwards to justify the placement, and STILL the best you can come up with is “it’s not THAT bad”

i know, i live in one of the places where the idea of your workplace contacting you outside of job hours is a very strange one.

it continues to baffle me how many people either view tech as inherently bad or inherently always good, like holy shit how hard is it to recognize that some things are good and some bad, and that how something is used matters?

i like having a phone, it’s very nice to not have to worry about being able to talk to people and getting lost in the forest, i like being able to find answers to questions without spending 4 hours at the library.
I wouldn’t like being constantly contacted by people from my workplace, but that’s not somehow the fucking phone’s fault, that’s the fault of it being societally and legally acceptable to harass people like that.

those aren’t format issues, those are implementation issues

you people just hate new things lol, can you please let the internet have new less terrible formats please?
