The people who pushed for such a blatantly unconstitutional law should be removed from office.

We know. The problem is a lot of idiots want trump as a dictator.

I've heard good things about kagi, but $10/mo is pretty steep

I also blame search engines. I type like "python file open parameters" and I really just want the official docs. They're not even on the first page of DDG.

I would accept a compromise that bans targeted advertising. Static ads have been around for probably as long as writing, and they're not great but they're not the nightmare spy dystopia.

People assume it's all terminal all the time. I haven't needed to open the terminal for months. It starts up. With the GUI I open the browser. Maybe steam, too. Do stuff. Shut down.

He left you unattended in his apartment? Bold.

Don't just stay there all day. Go home. Make plans for a third date. That's weird to just stay there.

The biggest problem is most players aren't paying attention and won't remember everything.

If you do elves and dwarves, they'll have some idea of what's happening.

If you do the Wilfren and the Senderri, they won't. Even if you explain it a dozen times. Even if you show them in a dozen scenes.

I may just have trauma from being in poorly fitting groups, but I think getting people to learn a bunch of your custom lore is always going to be a long shot.

If you make the world collectively, you'll have a better chance of it working. But some players hate being creative like that.

I don't disagree with your post but I'm pretty sure the joke in the meme is the one calling themselves a nice guy is actually an asshole. That's revealed in the "stop ignoring my DMs" ending. So it's not actually a pro "nice guy" meme. Which you probably got, but maybe missed it?

The problem is capitalism. Specifically, the consolidation of power in a small number of decision makers.

Break up the big companies. Stop letting them do mergers and acquisitions. You don't even have to do something radical like dismantling capitalism entirely.

Yeah, if you initialize them to None then for the entire rest of the class you're going to have to account for the possibility that they're None. If it's unavoidable that they might be None, you should type it as such.

If you type them as like str | None then later when you do like return foo[0] it will warn you that you can't do that with None.

My hypothesis is people are easily frightened idiots. They don't like change of any sort. It frightens them and then they can't reason about if the change is good or bad long term.

If a place had bike lanes for years the same people who bike-lash would probably oppose removing them.
