@cwebber minor point: it's basically against the uniform code of military justice for anyone in that room to give any public pushback. You might get some from retired individuals, but nothing from anyone active duty unless they wanted to be reduced in rank and fired.
@evan it's why I dont bother setting up "smart completion" for most languages. I hit the magic key combo and Emacs searches through all my open buffers to see "ok, last time you had typed this sequence of characters, you then followed it with this result". And another combo will cycle through other options starting with most recent. Kinda works like magical "I know what you need" copy-n-paste.
@pluralistic@jorgecandeias@codinghorror I really don't get his problem. I almost *never* read blogs anymore but I love coming across one of your threads and then choosing to read it or skip it. Actually, I dont think I've ever gone to the long-form link you provide, and just stick to my phones mastodon client.
And... "considered blogging?" Is he that clueless?
@cwebber and given that they were just promoting the showers at the newest one in Florida, they know exactly what they're doing and their base is rabidly lapping up the dog whistles.
(And if someone denies the dog whistles are happening, ask them why else would they have just hyped erecting two *88* foot tall flagpoles at the White House?)
@evan I really can't say, since the Spanish completely wiped out our local cultures (on my father's side) and I have no record of which i came from nor where it might actually be. Or rather, *used* to be.
@bmac@jeffowski or "A Private Little War", or "Patterns of Force", or "The Conscience of the King", or "The Omega Glory"...
I had got in an argument with some idiot on Twitter who argued that and also that it was just based on the US military which he claimed had solved racism by the '60s! (I served as a Sargeant in the '90s, while this idiot was still a kid, and it definitely was not solved)
Turns out he was one of the Sad Puppy leaders, so that explained that. Failed writer white dude…
