one of the biggest problems with the C programming language:
“Rather than making the compiler responsible for detecting and handling odd behavior like running off the end of an array, the standard makes the programmer responsible for ensuring those conditions never arise in the first place.”

These male Theridiidae get this rakish, gangrel look -- all lean legs and anxious scampering -- that makes them easy to spot.
Mastodon FeedIf you know a Korean, ask them about their “Korean age” and be amazed. Turns out this “non-international age” was sort of a thing throughout East Asia.

“There are people at our broadcast who are questioning the legitimacy of even doing an interview with you,” Koppel said. “They feel that strongly about what they consider, I’ll put it in language they would use, your criminality.”
“That’s a reflection of their ignorance,” Kissinger replied. Koppel brought up Kissinger’s role in the U.S. bombing campaign in Cambodia, which ran from 1969 to 1973, killing perhaps as many as 150,000 civilians and hastening the Cambodian government’s overthrow by the genocidal Khmer Rouge. After some back and forth, Kissinger said, “This is a program you’re doing because I’m gonna be 100 years old. And you’re picking a topic of something that happened 60 years ago. You have to know that it was a necessary step. Now, the younger generation feels that if they can raise their emotions, they don’t have to think. If they think, they won’t ask that question.”
100 years old and still a total and complete shitbird. At least McNamara was able to countenance his crimes.

If you’re picking up on some sarcasm this morning, I have a good friend of mine who is literally one of the most famous people in a certian industry who just quit Mastodon.
She is trans. She’s an extremely nice person that doesn’t do well with conflict when it’s personal.
Why did Mastodon get mad? She forgot alt-text once and she didn’t think it was reasonable to get yelled at over some extremely mild posts on Trans healthcare as “political.”
