Lolok sure whatever you say, let’s just ignore that day 1 trump reversed the sanctions on Israel placed by Biden to reduce the amount of weapons and money going to Israel for their genocide effort.

Man imagine trying to blame the previous guy for everything baf and ignore the new guy making everything worse. God it must be entertaining to live in whatever fake reality you have set up. At this point nothing, I say will lead to a fruitful good faith conversation. Hope your day is as pleasant as you are.

Never said biden didn’t support israel’s genocide, just pointing out that the new guy is already undoing all the meager attempts to slow the genocide from the previous guy.

Are you sure about that? https://denvergazette.com/news/nation-world/trump-cancels-sanctions-on-far-right-israeli-settlers-on-occupied-west-bank/article_16677638-637b-5d6f-a262-a551f8767f38.html

Canceling Biden’s sanctions on Israel letting them have the funding they want to continue their genocide reeeeealy sounds like doing the opposite of “ending a genocide more than Joe did.”

No I didn’t vote for Trump.

They’re not particularly complicated. you basically need a sturdy bowl and a stick to crush and grind stuff in said bowl.

Breast milk and mortar and pestles have existed for a long time too to make food into a mush.

In general it’s asking another person to change their appearance to suit your preferences rather than just respecting whatever mood they’re in or how their naturally resting face just looks, it’s a dick move. Forcing a smile also sucks. It takes some amount of conscious effort to maintain a forced smile and smiling does engage quite a few muscles in the face, about 43 different muscles to make a smile.

Combine all of that with the history of women very much not having any kind of power in our society, and it takes on a more sinister tone when directed at women, hinting at the idea of someone’s only valuable because they have a pretty face and it should be pretty all the time.

Yup, you 100% need to work on reading comprehension. I never said nothing sketchy happened, actually I explicitly said other sketchy shit did and does happen, I’m saying the specific example you originally pulled did not support your argument.

The article you pulled, in the literal first sentences said that Hunter Biden was paid as a consultant by MBNA in 2005, 3 years prior to the article and that the consultancy, despite being legally above board, doesn’t look good and happened at the same time a bill favoring credit card companies was passed.

That’s not a direct bribe to Joe Biden in exchange for a favorable bill as you described it.

But instead I’m the shill for Biden because you have done a shit job defending your own point with an article that explicitly contradicts your point in the very first sentence. All I did was read the fucking article and point out it doesn’t say what you think it said.

Again be accurate in your criticism, back it up with anything that doesn’t immediately contradict your points because at this point, I highly doubt you even read a single article you posted in your last reply.

Good lord you need work on your reading comprehension, or did you just look at the headline and ignore the very first line of the article?

Hunter Biden was working and being paid as a consultant for MBNA and had no direct ties to any kind of lobbying. That’s just what consulting work is. How much was paid never gets disclosed, especially to the public.

Is there other shetchy shit? Sure, but direct bribery from MBNA isn’t one of them and now we’d have to veer off into a discussion of campaign finance and corporate contributions to politicians in a post-citizens United world.

Be accurate in your criticism or nobody will take you seriously.

MBNA didn’t even exist anymore in 2008. It was bought out and subsumed by Bank of America in 2006.

If you have information on that bill/law post it. I’m curious what it actually said.

The 4th of July falls on July 4th. I can assure you as someone who has lived in the US for my entire life, we say it out loud, month, day, year and we write it to match that.

It’s american/Canadian English. We say December 11th, 2024, we write it like we say it.

It is and makes an ok, but reproducible cup of tea. As per the relevant Tom Scott video mentioned in the article.

Glad to provide some honest perspective.

If you really need a specialized toolset to handle managing dates and times in a program beyond whats already there, then find a library that has the tools you’re looking for or make it yourself if it doesn’t exist. Extending the date class is always an option.

Looks like someone already did. Been around since at least JDK 1.1

I used to be a programmer myself (originally studied it for game design but now I’m a 3d animator) and it’s why there’s a specific default data structure built in to most programming languages to handle dates and internationalization of those dates.
