If you told me five years ago that the country I most admire in the world would be Yemen, I wouldn’t have believed you and probably wouldn’t have been able to find it on a map. One of a few bright spots in a bleak world.

But they aren’t wrong

Oh right! Guess I should just let cops and military do whatever they want because they have the special American pass.

I’m aware they’re at least somewhat disingenuous. I’m trying to get them to spell out their beliefs and assumptions despite that.

So why would they get banned? I don’t understand

You know Marx said this right? Like that’s the end goal.

Javascript has its warts and quirks, but it’s fine. I hated it until Typescript came along. That way you can at least get some sanity checks and keep the language generally in the rails of normalcy.

However, what you seem to dislike is the UX of modern web apps which is barely related to any of that.

The initial numbers made it look like they lost a bunch. It seemed like misinformation.

That feels incredibly off. Bitcoin is around 100k now while back then it topped out at ~65k or so?

I’ve heard a statistic that goes something like: If you were to just not exist, you would only save about 1 second worth of emissions globally. Whatever individual action you do to reduce emissions from your lifestyle only go so far.

I’m just giving a basic example of people being motivated outside of money. There are other lines of work that are easier or pay better or both.

Why do people become teachers in the US? Certainly isn’t “for the money”.

Alright, if they’re having a romp in the afterlife in some capacity, they aren’t ghosts. There’s a kind of underlying implication they’re sticking around for some worldly purpose or reason. Often this is used for metaphor about moving on in your life (or rather afterlife).
