Operation Sea Spray

COINTELPRO

MK Ultra

They still federate with some instances. They’re just like everyone else, but have strict rules about not being a jerk.

It’s way more fun to pretend hexbear and .ml are super dark and scary than to admit what they mostly actually are: leftist memes and shit posting.

Notice Beehaw’s not on the “good” list anymore? Wonder why they’re not on there…

“bezos can’t die until he earns his current net worth at minimum wage. And he has to live on what he earns.”

You’re right. Perhaps I need to touch grass. My “is this commenter worth actually expending energy” meter may be off.

And to be clear, there was no jab at marxists. There was a jab at the lack of working class solidarity and wealth cult that exists within my everyday context in the US. Which you aren’t necessarily aware of and I wasn’t explicit about.

Marxist and Anarchist end goals really aren’t so different that it makes sense to foster any leftist infighting. We all ultimately want things to be better for everyone, especially the working class.

You can start by height. If that doesn’t work you can try favorite ice cream flavor.

And no, boot leather isn’t actually an ice cream flavor. There seems to have been some confusion about that amongst us workers lately.

I’d make way more money in defense. I’ve actively avoided it in my career. I spent one summer at LM as an intern. Never went back.

“Social Murder”

I lived there for years and didn’t know this! That’s insane!

Additional fun fact, Kansas has in the past attempted to annex Kansas City, Missouri.

The metro area being split between MO and KS has also caused a race to the bottom for certain kinds of regulations and taxes because for many businesses the cost of moving between the two states was essentially moving from one side of State Line Rd to the other.

Such a strange metro area.

They didn’t want to compromise their ability to spy on us easily.

My former officemate grew up in Russia in the 80s, he hated a shitload about growing up in the Soviet Union. He raved consistently about two things: the education system and gender equality.

His mother was a mathematician and computer programmer, and he didn’t have issues with school there until after he’d been here (the US) as an exchange student and had some… Cultural differences with his teachers.

“People who smile a lot in Russia are considered to be unintelligent”

In response to that…

Try this on

I startled my dogs laughing at that last bit.

Last time I dealt with Matlab much was like fifteen years ago when I was helping some people using it for quick interpretation of data. We just kept finding bugs that caused calculation errors (which they fixed pretty quickly TBF) and it was so much slower than any other general programming language we tried. It could be way better now, I wouldn’t know, I haven’t had call to use it since… A circuit simulation class?

In all reality it’s fine for what it does, just like every other language. It’s another tool in the box that’s most useful for a certain set of problems.

Matlab shouldn’t, in my opinion, be used to construct a GUI, or generally be used for any sort of production code. Perfectly fine as a research tool though.

But I digress, my overall point is a meaningless semantic joke. The only people who will get bent out of shape about splitting hairs between “scripting” and “programming” are all people who belong in this community.

Oh it shouldn’t, seeing as how it’s a scripting language and not actually for programming lol

Just pull the trigger, we both know how this ends.

My wife and I have been abusing our Ryobi for like 10 years. I thought it was finally dying, but then I got a new battery, still going strong.

I always start with harbor freight. When I break that one, I buy a nice version of whatever it was. I don’t buy “nice” tools very often. HF is nearly always “good enough.”

I like to think of it as “a little extra sweetness”
