Yes, you are misunderstanding the point — mostly by overinterpreting it.
The core thought there is “I wish people would stop romanticizing the French Revolution” and “no fairy tale outcome.” Just that.
There’s a wrongheaded strain of thought that never seems to die to the effect that revolution yields utopia (though people rarely state it so baldly, because it sounds silly), and thus social collapse is Good Actually 🧐🧐🧐. People sometimes hold up the French Revolution as an example of this.
My argument is that (1) if you’re looking for models of success to follow, the French Revolution is perhaps not an ideal one, and (2) social destabilization brings long-term risks, and isn’t a panacea.
I mean, don’t get me wrong; I’m glad the French ended the monarchy. (All 3? 4? times they ended it? I lose count.) And I hope we defeat oligarchy too. We must.
I heard we're getting quote posts! TBH I like that option, it lets me pull my following into conversations more easily, though I know not everyone is for this.
My thought is, you can already quote post by copying the link to the post, but OP doesn't find out about it unless you tag them. I'd prefer to get the notification so that I'm aware if someone is trying to instigate harassment.
@zwol @regehr @Sobex @dave_andersen @va2lam @chipchristian The standard doesn't govern implementation of the hosted implementation in any way, much less in freestanding version of itself, so I don't think it's useful to language lawyer this.
My view is that a compiler that makes this impossible is, for practical purposes, bad/broken. And I consider this a very good reason not to LTO the implementation of the standard library (on top of it producing worse code).
I think I might swing back and read several stories/books that have accumulated recently with trans characters.
I've mainly been avoiding those reads lately because they bring me too close to awful current day events in this country and I have been trying to just escape from all of this.
My apologies to certain favorite trans authors out there. I haven't forgotten about you.
I've just been in pain.
So have we all.
I really wish I had started a running count of the number of Australians on this platform who know nothing about American politics, but yet still see fit to come here and fuck up my fellow Americans' lives with garbage like this.
My country is on the edge of a fascist nightmare that will cause terrible suffering for generations of people all over the world, and these people are determined to drag us all into it.
What is it with Australians and the Fediverse?

I remember you talking about this.
My grandfather had a similar experience as an adult: sudden onset of what we would now call chronic fatigue when my mom was elementary-aged meant he had to leave his job, his career, and ultimately the town where they lived. It stayed with him the rest of his life.
