Since Zuck, Musk and whoever runs Google didn’t lobby heavily to get TikTok banned in India, the users had no reason to be super salty towards those platforms (aside from the usual reasons to hate on those platforms). Over 5he last week I saw as many people on TikTok saying to follow them on Instagram as I saw people saying fuck Zuck, I’m not using Instagram Reels (one dude said he’d rather “walk barefoot over molten glass legos”)

A buttermilk and chive panna cotta perhaps?

If you’re trying to demonstrate real world programming skills then selecting and using an appropriate library is the best move (unless this is an unlikely case where there is some really compelling reason why a custom implementation would be preferable).

But if you want to make your own hash table for funsies or for educational purposes or whatever, you could add a note or comment stating that, if you’re concerned that prospective employers might get the impression that you will write everything from scratch even when it’s a bad idea.

I avoid all FB products but it’s a pain in the ass when every business assumes that everyone has FB or Instagram. Local bakery closing due to poor weather? Instagram. Schedule for the small festival I’m attending later in the day? Instagram. Up to date hours for a local small restaurant? FB. Any contests or giveaways from any of the small businesses I patronize? Instagram. And friends with kids complain that their kid’s schools all use FB for critical info.

And it’s damn near impossible to really engage with the pottery community without Instagram. It’s really the defacto communication medium for publicizing any artists or craftspeople who are below the high end gallery representation level or the decent sized company level.

What do Protestants have to do with this thread? It’s story about the Pope. No one else is talking about Protestants.

I called out the wackado priests (like the one in TX that was calling for the Pope to be killed). You then tried to correct me saying “no, that’s Protestants” because you don’t know anything about it. So I tried to educate by posting some links to articles about the political make up of the priesthood (supporting my original point that you thought you were correcting). And now you’re confused because literally no one is trying to discuss Protestants but you?

Evangelicals already run the country, but we’re still allowed to discuss other faiths. 🤣

Yeah. That part.

Where’s that energy when the hateful conservative priests in the US are spewing bile?

Insta is ubiquitous and it’s run by the same amoral assholes. 😞

I volunteer Washington state as tribute!

If he was really rich, the $9 toll would not be worth his notice and certainly not worth the time and energy to whine about it.

Really, he should be happy that the toll will keep some of the poors out of his way so he can drive in slightly less traffic.

Once it worked 4 times in a row for me. So now I never expect it to work ever again.

Visas being tied to an employer and getting only 1-3 months to get a new job if you get laid off is fucking awful. If we had the same number of tech workers here on visas but they had real mobility then it would be an entirely different story.

And to add insult to injury, Elmo didn’t even follow the visa rules when he started in the US. If he weren’t a billionaire he could legit get deported for breaking immigration laws in the past.

Tech workers are one of the few groups that can get a 4 year degree, work hard and be able to afford a house, health insurance, a few cars, annual vacations, education for their kids and have a decent retirement. Granted, it’s not all of tech and it isn’t guaranteed, but it’s fucked that everyone who works can’t get this basic shit (car as basic shit is debatable but much of the US is designed around cars). But Phony Stark is desperate to knock the techies down a peg or two because I guess he needs more money to fund his king of mars fantasy? What a fucking dick.

Or, just hear me out, they could design the door so that people can intuitively figure out how to manually open the door in an emergency.

And a narc

Imagine what kind of country we’d have if these important people used their considerable influence to pressure the DOJ to hold Trump accountable? Or pressure congress to deal with gun violence? Or do anything other than line their pockets and look out for themselves to the detriment of everyone else?

The thing is, whoever did it was pretty smart about much of the crime, which is why the story of how Luigi was caught and what they say he had on is person seems so odd relative to the behavior the previous week.

If it was Luigi, he was pretty disciplined and smart before, during and immediately after the crime with the only leak being showing his face at the hostel (which he may have been required to do when he gave them ID).

If he did do it and really had all that evidence on him, maybe he wanted to get caught? It seems crazy that anyone would hang onto a 3d printed gun when it would be pretty easy to destroy and dispose of it in multiple pieces and locations.

I’ve said it before but I truly believe that Luigi would still be free if he had plucked his eyebrows, regardless of whether he did it.

Edit to add, maybe he thought he’d get shot or captured at the scene and didn’t think too far beyond the immediate getaway? And with the stress of his picture up all over the news and social media, he kinda wasn’t thinking straight?

The one with the monopoly money? How do they know that it was his backpack? I heard them talking about the backpack and monopoly money non stop but I have heard nothing about how they are so sure that it’s related to the case. NYC is huge and there’s a lot of people who lose backpacks all the time and there’s a lot of folks who would want to troll and stir up shit.

I don’t trust the police so I don’t assume the items they claim that they got off of Luigi are legit. We’ll see what his lawyer says in court. We also don’t know if the gun that they say he had was the murder weapon. Have they done ballistics analysis or anything yet?
