  • Because of FPTP, that means that the GOP will have the presidency for a long time because the Democrats vote would be split.

    And if that is the case, you can be sure that no voting reform will happen, bringing back the two party system.

    It’s the natural evolution of FPTP system.

    The best case scenario would be for the Democratic party to prop up a political reform as one of their main issue, in the hope that the voters will give them the presidency, senate and house to do just that.

    But the DNC would have to follow through will all of that if they get to that point, which probably won’t happen.

    So yeah, it looks bleak no matter how you look at it.

    This is all excuses. The fact that Trump made it all the way as the primary candidate for the GOP means that Republicans were okay with what he said and what he did.

    For a normal person, it shouldn’t even take a second to choose Harris. But this isn’t the case. Trump won the popular vote and the presidency despite all the crazy shit because a sizeable part of the citizens voted him in regardless of the reason.

    And not only that, but Republicans won the senate and well on their way to win the house.

    It is about to get real bad, and Americans have themselves to blame for that.


  • Let’s face reality. The first time that Trump was elected, everyone was surprised, sure.

    Now that he will be elected again, there is no more surprise. A lot of Americans still chose Trump after everything he’s said and done and he’s won the popular vote.

    The US have been toeing the line of fascism for a while now and a good proportion of their citizens just told us they embraced it, regardless of if they know what that entails or not.

    Donald Trump is just a symptom, not the cause. If there wasn’t any fascists, he wouldn’t even be in the race yet here we are.

    With that said, if the polls are really close between the Libs and Cons for a majority government, I for sure will vote for the Libs. The Cons are the worst possible majority government we can have.

    Otherwise, I am free to choose NPD, as I did in every elections before.





  • For sure social medias are a big part of it.

    I understand that “all men are trash” and the likes are generalizations about men, not me specifically. But when you see these lines make rounds and rounds again, it can makes you question yourself even if you’ve done nothing wrong. And that’s a big hit to self-esteem and anxiety.








  • I mean, even as a sexual person, when you stop and think about it, it is indeed gross.

    But my reptilian brain craves it. And my logical brain just doesn’t give a fuck anymore about how it looks like. I mean, I change diapers full of shit and piss every day and I’ve seen my two children be born in an ungodly amount of juices. My threshold for being grossed out has become a lot higher.

    The issue isn’t you doing your hobby projects however you want, it’s people being paid and produce LLM generated code.

    And the biggest issue is managers/c-suites thinking that LLMs can replace senior devs.

    And the biggest biggest issue is that the LLMs in their current mainstream form are terribly bad for the environment.

    It’s rarely the case. You rarely work in vacuum where your work only affects what you do at the moment. There is always a downstream or upstream dependency/requirement that needs to be met that you have to take into account in your development.

    You have to avoid the problem that might come later that you are aware of. If it’s not possible, you have to mitigate the impact of the future problems.

    It’s not possible to know of all the problems that might/will happen, but with a little work before a project, a lot of issues can be avoided/mitigated.

    I wouldn’t want civil engineers thinking like that, because our infrastructure would be a lot worse than it is today.
