Strange to me that nobody knows what the fuck Trump is talking about when he compares the Palestinians to Chuck Schumer, but also that he's apparently done it before.

I think we really have to acknowledge the reality that he's got problems with his cognitive function.

The entire stability of the global economy apparently rests on some detailed nuances of exactly how "insert" ACLs work on a legacy database.

One other point: I remember in my undergrad Systems class when the first assignment was to write a working command line interpreter in C, and a TA remarked that one of the student submissions worked as long as you didn't enter more than 256 commands.

Fixed length array! Fuckin' undergrads, man!

Just one more group of poor suckers left in Trump's wake.

Can't wait to see Charis' reaction when he learns about the existence of git.

"During our student project, we accidentally stitched up the patient with a scalpel still inside him, but he was able to reach in and fish it out. I'd trust him to do open heart surgery any day."

The replies to this thread are pure gold.

I am trying to imagine how to translate Charis's Dunning-Kruger comment into other domains.

"He accidentally deleted all our clients' accounting ledgers, but recreated them all from memory overnight, so I'd trust him to do the books any day."

Seems to me that term limits, perversely, incentivize lame-duck office-holders to undermine the very system in which they govern. That’s their only hope of retaining power.

RFK, jr, same thing.

Like, what are these guys actually upset about?

And Trump, well, I know he resents being sniffed at by Manhattan high society, but he was born rich, never had to work an honest day in his life, repeatedly got bailed out by daddy and personal bankruptcy, all the while getting away with sexual assault and similar abuse.

Vance grew up in hardscrabble suburban Ohio, but he got into Yale Law and then landed a high-paying job as a venture capitalist. Not bad!

The thing I don’t get is, what did these guys hate so much about the old system.

Like, lord knows it had its serious faults—and deep inequities—but these guys did really well, often as beneficiaries of those faults.

Musk came to the US with only the black market emeralds in his pockets, but went to a different Ivy and made billions in America’s dynamic free markets. The federal government became the sponsor and primary customer of his rocket company, and when Tesla nearly went bankrupt, Obama bailed him out!

I would have struggled to come up with a positive spin on Trump's crackpot ramblings about taking over the Gaza strip, but this article does it!

No mention if the 2 million people who would be ethnically cleansed. No, no, this is "outside the box" thinking to provide economic opportunities!

Now of all times, the delta between the world as it seems to be and the world as presented on https://FoxNews.com is startling.

Totally makes sense. When he said “earth” he meant the hunk of rock, not the gasses surrounding it.
