"Politics on Twitter are arguably the most hilarious thing I have ever seen. 🤣".replace("Twitter", "any public platform").replace("hilarious", "depressing").replace(🤣, 🤡)
IMHO.
Usually, I keep in mind that those people can vote.
@Almo Yeah, I wonder starting at what kind of size of project one gains efficiency with it. If it takes more time to send stuff across the network and to get back built component than it would take just to build them locally.
Well I suppose it would mean that I don't have a big project and I should be happy with it.

TBH I kinda like Twitter on politics, fast & quick format and the likes&retweets of the people I follow expose me to more things usually from people with similar values
Yeah, I'd agree. I started understanding a lot of issues better when I got to see how folks talk about them among themselves - conversations I normally wouldn't be in.
The media loves to just dig up random hostility and present it as an important topic when really it's just a few dozen randos who have nothing to do with anything. 😉
@Vaillancourt Not really a conversation, more like “I’m gonna take you to the parking lot and beat you with my ‘cancel’ hammer because you stated a different opinion.”
Don't believe the hype around "cancel culture" - it's mostly just folks with power and influence being surprised other people now have a platform to tell them when they're wrong.
The GOP just kicked Cheney out of her leadership position for not pushing the lie that Trump won the election. That they are the ones screaming most about cancel culture shows the hypocricy.
We didn't call it "cancel culture" when the right blacklisted the band formerly known as the Dixie Chicks or football players who kneeled, or when they instituted the Hays Code, etc. It's something they only complain about when ordinary folks have the power speak up against things that they like.
It's just a new moral panic / media buzzword, now that the "political correctness" boogeyman sounds dated. They just need a new manufactured controversy to maintain aggrieved tribal loyalty.
I don’t think it’s tribal loyalty that keeps a lot of Christians with the GOP. I believe it is how the GOP has an amount of policies (not all of them) that align with the Bible.
If you want the bible in law, then you must be consistent. "Thou shalt not give him thy money upon interest, nor give him thy victuals for increase. ... Unto a foreigner thou mayest lend upon interest; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon interest; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou puttest thy hand unto, in the land whither thou goest in to possess it."
Can't charge interest on loans, dude.
It's just tribalsim in that they pick some things they don't like, and fight them using the bible as a basis while ignoring things they want that the bible is against.
Jesus is VERY clear about divorice: it's a no-no in the absence of adultery
Yes, I 100% agree. The issue is many of these loud “Christians” give us who try to state these things a bad wrap. So they just talk over the truth and get us associated with them.
I'd say "GOP aligns with the Bible" is effective branding and political propaganda, but not in evidence in their actual policies. If Jesus were with us today he'd be arguing for universal healthcare, caring for immigrants instead of turning them away or jailing them at the border, sharing material wealth instead of hoarding it, etc. - all things the GOP consistently opposes.
In my opinion, socialism would be a beautiful thing if it worked. The idea of everyone being equal and sharing is great. But, it can’t work due to man’s inherent nature to want more than the other, or not contribute, or other such factors.
I’m not saying to give up. I’m saying, if we want to have a working society, we must help others and spread the word of God. I’m saying you are right, but God also must be in the picture. But, that is simply my opinion as a Christian.
The difference is the company siphoning off profit instead of putting it all into care, and hiring an army of people to prevent paying out if possible.
Another case of ignoring the facts of the situation to remain in the tribalist state.
“ The sheer cost of providing quality health care makes universal health care a large expense for governments. 1 Most universal health care is funded by general income taxes or payroll taxes.”
If it's wait times, yes, they do better there, mainly by refusing care to tons of folks who might otherwise be in line.
I remember reading a case study where healthcare costs in a particular country decreased when they instituted universal care. It turned out that there was a lot of shady dealing being done by private insurers and hospitals that was artificially driving up costs.
And you get economies of scale when the government is able to coordinate that spending as a whole, and negotiate drug prices for their whole market. That's why drugs like insulin are orders of magnitude cheaper here than in the US.
And our tax burden is actually not that much higher. We just get more for it, because it's not lining the pockets of private corporations.
I spent over 15 years of my adult life uninsured and unable to access medical (or dental) care of anykind. So when people say allowing me access to healthcare makes their healthcare not as good I wanna fight them.
I talk to friends in the US who are feeling unwell but too scared to go to the doctor to even check if something's wrong because they can't afford the visit, and that's absolutely horrifying to me.
That's how minor, easily treatable/preventable issues eventually escalate into emergency room visits, hospital stays, missed work, and all sorts of things that drain the economy more than just getting people the care they need up-front.
@OKprogrammer Capitalists tells us that humans are inherently exploitative and then design a system that incentivizes exploitation as a solution. I would argue that the existence of constant growth of organizations revolving around mutual aid actually demonstrates that people are inherently good and it is the system that makes helping others so hard.
I was inspired seeing the mutual support groups that sprung up on Facebook here at the start of the pandemic - neighbours helping each other get food or cover rent, for no expectation of return.
@OKprogrammer Christian Imperialism is one of the major underlying causes of most of the worlds current traumas. I do not believe spreading the word of the Christian god is a solution to anything.
So yeah, "social programs can't work because people are selfish" sounds like an excuse a selfish person will tell you to keep profiting at the expense of others.
"Insurance" is the wrong model for health. health is a matter of prevention and maintenance. "Insurance" is for unforseen huge expenses, like hail damage or a hurricane tearing up your town. "Insurance" is horrible for dealing with routine scheduled costs.
Insurance depends on risk pools. Young people don't want health insurance since they're healthy. Ruins the risk pool.
the superior results with less money spent per capita in UHC countries proves this. But the US is tribalistic, and assumes nothing can be learned from anyone beyond their borders.
Tribalism ignoring data is at the root of a lot of the US's problems right now.
Honestly I think it has more to do with the multi-millionaires and billionaires who profit from the current system. That's a lot of money they can use to buy influence and propaganda to keep it the way it is.
Coupled with a lot of cynicism and distrust that governments could ever do anything "good". So hey, if all politics is slimy anyway and no one hopes or strives for anything better, then I might as well support whatever policies will increase my own wealth.
I think the tribalism comes into play when those millionaires and billionaires sway the public opinion of the masses to help prevent it ever being any different
That is why wedge issues are part of their power play. They don't care about trans people in sports. They just want us all fighting over it.
And it leads to a great many people consistently voting against their own self-interests.
Because "oh no, the transes are going to [insert falsehood fear mongering]."
I've heard a lot of people say the world is going crazy, but I don't think we've just suddenly gone wild, only that now it can be plastered onto the internet and throttled down your throat
almost every time i open a webpage, or see an ad, it mentions the pandemic and COVID. it's ridiculous, practically every human knows what is going on, but the situation is still being throttled everywhere.
the saying "There is no new sin under the sun" is not very far off
Yeah, and that kinda leads into what i think is the biggest problem in the world: extremism. Throughout our history, most of our worst tragedies from people taking something, and applying the most extreme situation it fits.
I find this is more common among societies that adhere to one of the Abrahamic religions.
They seem to encourage very B/W thinking
What's the big game in China, Japan and Korea? Go. You win not by wiping out your opponent, but by coexisting with them on the board but having at least one more point of territory than them.
The European countries are on chess: destroy the opposing army and/or its center.
I think this is indicative of their relative cultures and how they view problems.
The one thing I'd watch out for is the appeal to moderation fallacy. When there are two opposed sides, it does not logically follow that the truth must be somewhere between them. That temptation has been exploited to move the Overton window rightward over the past decades.
Also it just doesn't work at all in some situations. What is the balanced middle ground of: Marginalized Group: "We deserve rights!" Group in Power: "Nah, Things are better for me if they don't have rights."
