Woah, that unlocked a memory of how my parents said giving sweets to our dog would give him worms. Wonder how that pervaded so widely.

block women, not black. I misread it as well, especially since it’d be easy to believe he’d target black women specifically.

EDIT: I was wrong! Listened to the audio and he does explicitly say black women!

Approval voting would help, but neither party will ever vote in favor of it.

That description of your process reminds me of this video on consciousness, and how the creator describes how he has no inner monolog, or even conscious thought of some of his actions, and instead it’s like a black box that he can query. Is your experience similar to that?

There’s a number of excellent documentaries over at !documentaries@slrpnk.net and !documentaries@lemmy.world.

I’d recommend Connections by James Burke, which there should be a link to on the .world community.

That sounds similar to this quote:

“It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.” — Edsger Dijkstra, 1975

But there’s been a good deal of programmers who have said that BASIC, and its ease of use and seeing almost instant results is extremely useful to not turn people off learning to code to begin with. Python is functionally the new BASIC in that regard, and while the language itself may not teach you to become an expert programmer, it may have gotten more people in the door than otherwise would have.

But that’s just my 2 cents.

As someone who has attempted to draw a lot of spaceships: that’s a dam good spaceship.

Unfortunately didn’t apply to the creator of Ren & Stimpy.

Ahh, the ol put the rum in the banana shipment from Karamja method. A classic.
