Dynamic typing is insane. You have to keep track of the type of absolutely everything, in your head. It’s like the assembly of type systems, except it makes your program slower instead of faster.

Have you seen what grocery stores are charging these days? Yeah, there’s a crisis.

And their response to LGBT+ issues, and their response to Trump’s crimes, and…

Yeah, no. Republicans have had more than enough opportunities to redeem themselves. There is no remaining doubt to give them the benefit of.

If I were to choose to have kids despite climate change, doesn’t that prove that I don’t care about climate change?

Cryptocurrency is a scam. Not just certain coins, but the whole concept. It’s nothing more than digital tulips.

JavaScript is a bad language, but what’s really bad about it is not the language itself but the ecosystem of libraries and tools. Getting just about anything to work is a huge struggle. Rust is much easier to use.

Having children is a horrible idea.

If global warming doesn’t completely wipe us out, we’ll finish ourselves off with nukes.

I’d rather have the climate crisis over the nuclear one

Why? Either way, everybody dies.

or either of the world wars

Instead of dying from mustard gas, we’re all going to die from heat and starvation. Yay.

or live under a feudal system where I’m owned by the local lord in his castle.

Today, you get to choose which lord owns you, and change lords on occasion, but other than that it’s pretty much the same thing.

Global warming is upon us. If something doesn’t drastically change, now, our entire species is going to die.

US health insurance is no longer allowed to consider pre-existing conditions. That was made illegal by the Affordable Care Act about 10 years ago.

Of course, depending on who gets elected, that may change in the future…

Nazis. Reddit has so many Nazis.

Finding clothes on a chair isn’t constant-time. You have to search through the heap of clothes to find the item you want. It has the same time complexity as searching through the closet; it’s only fast because n is small.

Debian. Several reasons:

• It’s trustworthy.
• It’s not going anywhere. Debian existed when I was a kid and it’ll probably still exist when I draw my last breath.
• I know how to use it, since, once again, I’ve been using it since I was a kid.
• It has all the desktop environments.
• It fully supports systemd. I do not miss the unreliability, slowness, and complexity of what came before that. (Normally I wouldn’t mention this, but your former distro of choice exists solely for the purpose of not having systemd, so it’s relevant this time.)

Obvious solution: attach tiddies to the servers.
