Shooting someone with a gun is certainly one way of blowing your load.

I’ve been struggling with this shit too. I’m in a group chat with 3 trumpanzees, a Blue MAGA lib who thinks fascism is perfectly fine as long as the demonrats are doing it, and someone who subscribes to some vague lolbertarianism (all cishet crackermen, myself included). There was one who seems to be an actual leftist (I didn’t ask him about specifics), but he dipped from the chat a day or two ago when my friends were getting into an argument about the upcoming presidential election. I’m starting to think that was the right move.

If it weren’t for the fact that I had been close to these people for most of my life and they genuinely care about me, I am bad at meeting new people, and their lib/chudness is limited to garbage takes without acting on it, I’d have cut them out of my life a long time ago.

IDK about natural languages, but his work has been useful in computing. We have him to thank for regex, for instance.

You learn something neg every day. I take it this is one among many instances of a man taking all the credit for something a woman played a much bigger part in creating/discovering?

I imagine the original reason for removing it is somewhat mitigated now that mods can view votes directly in the UI instead of needing to muck around in the database.
