Your info is out of date, now the cia is pushing “cultural genocide” because “genocide” was remarkably uncredible. Remember the delegations of Muslim countries to the region?

Incredible if you believe tankie news sources, maybe?

Hong Kong was a British colony that is part of mainland China. They’re Chinese. Integrating them into the wider system is a step in erasing the legacy of colonialism in China.

Integrating…by force. Sounds like they are continuing the legacy of colonialism to me. “They’re Chinese” lol, they were perfectly happy existing with their freedoms intact. But I guess the CCP feels that they own all the Chinese people and have a right to subjugate them?

Literally name a country that doesn’t do this lol. Here in the US local police have off the books torture and indefinite detention facilities

There’s a difference between rogue behavior at a local scale and official policy at a country-wide scale.

Now if only they could do all that stuff without committing genocide, crushing Hong Kong, black-bagging dissidents, etc etc

Hot take

Crazy bread > cheesy bread

How do you negotiate severance? Don’t you have zero leverage in that situation?

Maybe ancient Athens? Just sit around eating grapes and talking about triangles and shit. And even if I get rng’d into slavery, I could draw the Pythagorean theorem in the dirt, and a passing scholar would be like “holy shit, come with me dude”

Possibly Fern Gully

Right side couch gang rise up

Do you have a source for this? Last I looked into the Uighur genocide, it was being reported by well-respected outlets (not faith healers and flat earthers) and had photos of people being marched into camps.

So for it to suddenly be “all made up” sounds rather far-fetched to me.

Ok, I’ll bite. What is “everything that has come out”?

Glerups. I wear them all day

First Past the Post says “Sorry, but no”

Hades is up there. So many runs, so much content, $25.

Sure, for a new project. But when inheriting code I’m not in a position to pick.

The point is that the state of python package managers is a hot fucking mess compared to npm. Claiming that “npm is just as bad” (or worse) honestly seems ridiculous to me.

(And isn’t pip/venv the one the requirements.txt one? Completely flat, no way to discern the difference between direct dependencies and sub-dependencies? No hashes? Sucks when it’s time for updating? Yeah no thanks, I’d like a proper lock file. Which is probably why there are a dozen other tools.)

Knees, actually

More like rtfms. I really didn’t feel like learning 20 different tools for repos my team didn’t touch very often.

Sorry but nah. My last job we had a couple different python microservices. There was pipenv, venv, virtualenv, poetry, Pipfile.lock, requirements.txt (which is only the top level???), just pure madness

Apparently all this shit is needed because python wants to install shit globally by default? Are you kidding?

Well, we also had a couple node microservices. Here’s how it went: npm install. Done.

Afraid you fucked something and want a clean environment? Here’s how you do it with node: delete node_modules/. Done.

Want a clean python env? Uhhhhhhhh use docker I guess? Maybe try reinstalling Python using homebrew? (real actual answers from the python devs who set these up)

Well what’s currently installed? ls node_modules, or use npm ls if you want to be fancy.

In python land? Uhhhhhh

Let’s update some dep–WHY AREN’T PYTHON PACKAGES USING SEMVER

So yeah, npm may do some stuff wrong, but it seems like it does way more shit right. Granted I didn’t really put in the effort to figure out all this python shit, but the people who did still didn’t have good answers. And npm is just straightforward and “works”.

“But JS projects pull in SOOOO many dependencies” Oh boohoo, you have a 1TB SSD anyway.

TWIST IT

Very true.

I think that’s why the majority of my suggestions relate to democracy itself – if we can get away from “two parties pooping back and forth forever”, we increase the odds of good people getting into power. Hopefully.

FPTP voting is banned everywhere.

Full financial transparency for all elected officials. If Matt Gaetz buys a dildo, everyone knows about it. Serving in Congress is a service, not something you should want to do for life.

Wyoming Rule.

Gerrymandering is treason. Straight to gitmo.

Bribery is treason. Straight to gitmo. In cases of corporate bribery, the board is held responsible.

Money is not speech.

Corporations are not people.

Not quite sure how to codify it in law, but something to force anti-trust action (since existing laws just aren’t enforced). Maybe every year, the top 5 companies by market cap are forcibly broken up into at least 3 entities?

Yeah it’s really cool! When I first heard that Ghibli did a music video I was like “wait what” lol
