Software engineer. Former astrophysicist. Security enthusiast and electronics hobbyist. Into music and cute animals. Identifies with hackers, freaks, and weirdos. People should be free to be their authentic selves. Passionately anti-authoritarian. He/They.
You were correct. Senators and Representatives are both Congresspeople.

He definitely has a copy of Atlas Shrugged displayed proudly on his bookshelf, just to really complete that selfish asshole aesthetic.

They’ve always been pretty vocal with their liberal politics. They did a whole pro-Obama backdrop when I saw them in Detroit during the 2008 election cycle. Their fans also beat the shit out of some skin heads that tried to start things at that concert.

I’m not surprised by this.

Our ancestors were social and nerds who invented stuff. We became OP when we realized we could grow crops and raise cattle in communities. Other species literally looked at that our setup and decided to get in on it (e.g. cats).

Even if it was about the individual, they’d still have the issue of: 1. Having to show that natural order is a sufficient basis for morality, and 2. Having to prove that we shouldn’t try to stride for something better.

The Universe does not care about us. We have to care about us.

This is common in Ohio where I grew up. My cousin’s kids use “Uncle” for me.

Them: “If you don’t behave, it’s off to the gulag with you.”

You: “Don’t threaten me with a good time”

Bratting about theory discourse. Real way to get your Leftist Domme hot and bothered.

When someone calls them a tankie, your response is “they could run me over with their tank any day”

But if I were to guess, it’s probably this way for some stupid reason from decades ago.

I’m sure there’s some framework that handles this for you, but obviously adding extra dependencies probably isn’t ideal. You could always create some utility functions to interact with the storage so you write the conversions once and are done.

I’m so glad that I got out of my New Atheist phase in my early 20s. Unfortunately, Maher is an asshole that hasn’t intellectually grown since, at least, the early 2000s.

Like, why were there delays in the updates?

They never explained the latency though. It’s not a true RCA.

I’m pretty sure anything related to WWII, I always played the Allies. My many hours in Medal of Honor games made me figure out ways to take out Nazis even more effectively. I never thought “but what if I could play as one of them” because…you know…they were one or the indisputable history villains

Honestly, this doesn’t even crack the top 10 of the craziest shit I’ve seen, though it is pretty out there. When I was working in Astrophysics, getting crank emails was pretty much a right of passage. We also would occasionally get copies of self-published “groundbreaking physics treaties”

Definitely the type of person who idolizes Rorschach while not getting that Rorschach is literally written as a fascist.

Also, their lyrics are some of the best in the music industry. I are their lyrics up as a teenager.
