@voidzero @Knight_of_the_First_State Python has lambda support ergo you can write functional Python if you want. The distinction of a "functional" language usually comes from purist neckbeards who write Clojure and Haskell

Hooo boy.

"This montage, however, is highly deceptive as it compiles in rapid succession relatively small verbal stumbles in an attempt to portray Speaker Pelosi as stumbling through her press conference,"

So they get a CS prof to comment that an obviously edited vid is deceptive? This is the most naked opinion bootstrap with authority I've seen in a while.

@u @PussySlayer in clown world it is unhelpful to blame fellow inmates. Destroy the media. Nature/God will take care of the rest.

Be deadly

@HiroProtagonist adios mofos

@ArdanianRight @comfy @Jdogg247

don't be

@comfy @Jdogg247 It is like the very nature of teenage boys to be edgy and try to out edge each other. It's like a game to see who is the first to crack and take it seriously.

@Knight_of_the_First_State @DaDenMan Stop thinking for yourself, slave!

@wjmaggos @ProfWorr @HiroProtagonist it is largely a play on language.

Imagine a place and time where the only laws were: Do not rape, do not kill. The punishment is death. No one would consider this authoritarian; on the contrary it is close to anarchy. You may call it draconian.

@wjmaggos @ProfWorr @HiroProtagonist

This is why I no longer consider myself libertarian but more like "libertarian sympathetic" - there's not much authoritarianism about removing rights based on voluntary actions IE committing a felony. Is the very act of incarceration authoritarian? From a strict definition, I suppose, but I regard authoritarianism in the flavor of "You must comply through no fault of your own". There's room to discuss if those laws are just or not.

@wjmaggos @mrmcmayhem @HiroProtagonist I think some of that grouping boils down to self image conformity. I've taken a lot of these political values research questions and it seems a bit GIGO to me because I can lawyer the shit out of each question and it seems to boil down to "it depends". That said there are some strong general trends that emerge - I'm pretty strongly against broad accommodations. I hate project managers that only think in corner cases too.

@wjmaggos @HiroProtagonist While I generally agree, I am not as keen on broad voting rights as I used to be, simply because it seems that lowering the bar is a means for electoral capture

@dcgirl @HiroProtagonist The real problem is that the original tweet says "gender transition" but the certificate says SEX. I thought the dogma was that sex and gender aren't the same? - what really bothers me is just the pure revisionism of it.

@mrmcmayhem "hey man, I 'need' your car, your house and your wife. "

IANAL but I'm guessing the DA is betting that it'll all be petty enough in value that no one sues his office over it, although I will HAPPILY crowdfund anyone who wants to do so. This is the most important thing we can do to push back against clown world is to fund legal action.

@wjmaggos @HiroProtagonist Sure. Either way her initial premise of "It is not a democracy if you take away people's right to vote!" is faulty. The idea of universal enfranchisement is relatively new and positively facile. There are a lot of people like Pelosi who are more realpolitik oriented currently pushing this demagoguery for ulterior reasons.

@wjmaggos @mrmcmayhem @HiroProtagonist yea, even the four quadrants model seems insufficient. Our political linguistic model is way out of date to the current miasma we're in but I suspect it has been for a long time.

@monerica @chris Yea, but a lot of people conflate "keeping them dressed" with "$100 shoes".

I have a real bone to pick with my generation and this hesitation to make babies.

@wjmaggos @HiroProtagonist the difference is still on the axis of authoritarianism. Socialists believe they are morally right and obligated to use the Leviathan to take in order to provide to others. Contrast this with the more recalcitrant attitude toward taxation by those not in full AnCapistan and it’s not hard to see the difference.
