   You can wake up and decide not to be a cringe-fuck edgelord.

   Or you can wake up and shit on the reputation of an entire programming language.

   Choices are funny like that.

     @viraptor @Daojoan I'm sorry, I don't get you. We have have our divine symbol used in our every households, which gets unfairly appropriated for a hateful agenda in an alien context, and we need to refrain from using them in a 'global' post, to prove our innocence?

     @ravisambamurthy @Daojoan Difference between intelligence and wisdom. You can have the pure knowledge of facts about the symbol, its meaning, its history, usage.
     You can also have the wisdom to not use it in a global post, because you know what most people will immediately relate it to.

     @Daojoan They seem to be a smallish software training institute in Pune, India, where it's a common Hindu imagery denoting auspicious, prosperity, etc. (It predates Nazism by at least a few thousand years).
