@mekkaokereke @fivetonsflax we had a ASL table at oldenborg when I was at the 5C's!

Dems too, if we're being honest. I am always shocked at the number of times someone in my (white, wealthy) neighborhood professes support for progressives and then in the same breath make the most callously racist remarks about the Black/homeless/incarcerated people in our own communities. Like, can you not even hear yourselves right now???

@mekkaokereke I remember when you posted the original toot and being very confused. "Don't we want a functioning two party system? Why would trying to establish a healthy bipartisan system suppress voter turnout?"

It wasn't until i read the replies and your follow up comments in this thread that i "got it". So thanks for that.

I'm actually sort of shocked that nobody does array.length(). I was really expecting that to come up somewhere. I guess we all just _really_ hate typing those extra few characters.

I think the thing I find most frustrating about programming languages is that there is no standard way to refer to the length of an array.

Python, go: len(array)
Java, JavaScript: array.length
Rust: array.len()
C++: array.size()
C#: array.Length
PHP: count($array)
Perl: scalar(@array) (lmao)
Swift: array.count
Kotlin: array.size

Like, seriously? Can't we agree on just this one thing???

@mcc I don't have any problems whatsoever allowing convicted felons to vote.

I have a very very large problem allowing convicted felons to be president.

I really cannot comprehend why smartphone manufacturers are trying to make foldable phones. Who is the target market? Who wants one of these things?
