I think "you don't *have* to argue with a list if you agree with 44 out of 50 of the bullet points but dispute 6" is a lesson that helped me

Meetup gave me a notification about "2 new comments"; mine, and the one I replied to. The notification took an hour to spin up

@blackle@dev.glitch.social (Incidentally that kind of book is a large part of why I didn't become a programmer much earlier; I went into it with no experience and had trouble with pointers, and thought that meant I was just bad at programming forever because I didn't get it in enough Days

it was only years later that I found out my learning curve was actually typical)

Fun fact: as of November 21, it will be 12 years since the last time a top human chess player won against a top computer chess player (Ruslan Ponomariov vs. Deep Fritz). Since then, the best a human has been able to do is force a draw.

Since then, chess computers have advanced far enough that cell phones can support chess software sufficient to defeat a human grandmaster.

So apparently locking accounts doesn't stop you from making public tweets here, it's just follower control? Cool, I'll do it then.

like no. jesus was not "testing" people every time he did something shitty aaaaaugh

it's not fair for me to get mad at someone for not understanding my thelema-ass mantling conception of christ, but it *is* fair for me to disagree that a guy is "timeless" and "infallible" when he sided with the slave masters over the slaves

religion 

augh so. whenever (it's rare) that i have a discussion about christianity/jesus/etc with a mainstream conventional christian it's just filled with their complicating assumptions based on nothing -- it's like some enterprise software form of religion
