The most convincing argument that elon does a lot of cocaine is just listening to him speak in a less formal interview.
BUT! I don't think he used to be actually smart, just lucky. Too many people assume "succesful" people had to have done something exceptional to earn it, but 99% of extremely wealthy people acquired that extreme wealth through a simple combination of luck and startup capital (which of course they have because they are lucky).
Doesn't reddit not make money though? Like, if traffic resulted in them making money, I'd agree, but everything I've heard would indicate using reddit with an adblocker literally costs them money.
Exclusively using reddit to protest should be fine IMO, just don't contribute anything that isn't a protest (including voting)
Lmao proof positive that you are just an asshole gatekeeper. Probably sexist too, despite your claim otherwise, since you are so determined to put her down.
I haven't been coding for any years, I'm not in CS. You being a gatekeeper probably means you think I should't even be allowed to comment in this thread at all. I do have many people in my life who are in CS and discuss it with them regularly. (I hope you don't mind how vague I'm being, don't want too much identifying information)
The original claim in the post was just "can code in", and you made unnecessary disparaging comments implying she was a liar and inexperienced, just like the assholes in the screenshot, because you got your panties in a twist that anyone DARE claim a skill in something you do without your approval. It then turned into a stupid back and forth where you constantly changed how experienced you expected her to be to meet your criteria.
That kind of behavior pisses me the fuck off. Let people do and enjoy things, don't gatekeep, and don't act like you are certain of something just because of what you think is "likely" in your limited worldview.
I never accused you of claiming to be an expert in 5 languages without evidence. I accused you of claiming to be an expert in programming ("...and as an expert in programming I recognize that.") Without proof. Why does she need proof for her claim and you don't for yours? Your claim seems bigger, claiming to be an expert in the whole of programming.
No, sorry, prove you are an "expert in programming". You won't read her stackoverflow page or make the effort to read and judge any of the evidence you have been sent on the matter, so I will extend no courtesy to you as far as trusting your qualifications. Prove it.
As far as I'm concerned you are a know-nothing troll trying to sound smart and put people down. Prove otherwise.
You are just moving the goalpost... Before you said "So yeah, "hello world" and loops it's." Claiming she was basically a beginner or hobbyist. Now you are arguing she isn't an "expert" and define expert at the absolute far right side of the bell curve. Why does it matter to you so much that she not get recognition for her work?
I hate this argument, that criminal people sonehow have the ability to do anything anywhere unhindered by everything, and so making laws will only cause more crimes. It is the same type of thinking when people say "masks don't work", 90% efficacy is WORTH HAVING.
It is asinine. Making laws and properly enforcing them would absolutely reduce mass shootings. Some people certainly could still purchase unregistered guns illegally, but it would be a small fraction of the people who would/will do it under our current laws.
Maybe as far as the shock value but imo they are completely different. The bible verse is about absolute surrender to the christian god, where anything you might value as highly as god should be made lesser than him in your mind.
It seems like "kill the buddha" has the opposite intent, aggressively reject all notions of "other" or "authority" etc
I'll just let you know you missed the joke. No one is trying to frame lower taxes and small government as hateful - they might despise them as policy, but it isn't anything to do with the hateful reputation of conservatives.
The views that are getting conservatives labeled hateful generally have more to do with the racism, the sexism, the homophobia, the transphobia, the disregard for human life, the disregard for other peoples economic standing, the warmongering, or the weird way they keep voting against letting kids at school have free lunch.
Reading arguments about these concepts while many people completely disagree what their definitions are feels like treading water waiting to exhaust myself and drown.
Maybe the point is the policies and anyone who argues about words is part of the problem.
If you suddenly got notified that the place you live has been redistricted to put you in a district which reduces your voting power, would you be ok with your "solution" of uprooting your entire life, changing jobs, finding a new place to stay, and re-registering to vote? Or would you maybe pursue a less completely-insane solution to the problem?
