@Shadowman311 They're classified as whatever the government(s) need them to be so as to make them more vulnerable to their coercion.

@VooDooMedic She's a thot; that is universal to all ethnic groups' females.

@PapaPole Windows: Notepad++ is the easiest. Sublime should also have it.

@PapaPole Depending on the text editor that does exist. You can also write scripts for things like camel and snake cases.

@ButtWorldsMan It seems we have had a difficult time learning this lesson.

It helped me understand why the operation of government bureaucracy is as it is and why in some ways it must be the way it is.
There is no solution to "fix" bureaucracy as it is merely a method of management. There are only means to limit the potential for corruption and arbitrary rule within it.

To everyone who happens to read this post, I highly recommend listening to the free audio book or reading the print version of Ludwig von Mises, "Bureaucracy".

(Links where PDF and audiobook can be sourced for free: https://mises.org/library/book/bureaucracy)

It gives amazing insight into the incentive differences between the profit and bureaucratic methods of management.

@deprecated_ii Notice how the reasoning for the predominant idea is vague while what works is simple? Small teams of capable people who become familiar with a specific set of tools and processes and develop them further in the changing environment to fulfill the need of the customer works. If it didn't small software shops wouldn't be able to make anything until they had teams as large as the big companies.

@deprecated_ii That is an excellent summary of the situation. I've seen this happen all over the place and in different blends of individuals. The high performers are always carrying the team through to the finish line.

Talented developers are like artists because the best development is art. You can't force or pay someone to be good at it, and you can't program an AI to do it.

@susie The colored alcohol rule is not true. There are many factors which influence hangover intensity. It also depends on ABV of the drinks.

Get some sleep though. Try recounting in extreme detail everything that you will do tomorrow in order from the time you get up. It may help.

@UncleIroh @ButtWorldsMan lol Mehr Kuchen!

Divine Justice (A cooking channel)

Non-Ukraine war views/video: 1k-25k (There are hundreds of cooking videos)

Average Ukraine war views/video: 194k (there are only FOUR of pro-Ukraine videos)

24 hours ago they switched to pro-Ukrainian content and now they're racking up the views. I'm not kidding on this.
Their bio doesn't even mention their cooking content which is only 3 months old; so, it's not like they left for a year and decided to change channel direction.

Kings and Generals (a decent channel for all kinds of history):

Non-Ukraine war views/video: 150k-600k

Ukraine war views/video: 200k-500k
(rough ranges with napkin math)

William Spaniel (pre-Ukraine war, a channel about game theory and international diplomacy in abstract):

Pre-war views/video: 1.5k-5k

Ukraine war views/video: 600k-3M

Three videos appeared in my feed from channels that are perfectly fine on other matters. They now all have videos shilling hard for Ukraine:

@houseoftolstoy @Furgar I would not be surprised.

@Autumn There's an growing movement to replace lawns with gardens almost entirely; regardless of the motive, I think it's beneficial.

@Autumn Ice trays before they were made of a material flexible enough to manipulate the cubes out

@Autumn One man's creepy is another man's interest.
