  • Dude, there are at least 4 different “for” loop syntaxes in Js/Ts alone:

    for (let num = 1; num <= 5; num++) {}.

    for (const num of numbers) {}.

    for (const num in numbers) {}.

    this.numbers].forEach(num => {});

    Also don’t forget ngFor and @for in html, and then the @for in sass/scss.

    That’s 7 different for loops and I haven’t included the non-for loops, or even left Angular.

    Once we include some scripting like I did just this week:

    bash: for i in {1…5}: do … done

    dos: for /L %%i in (1,1,5) do ()

    Then you can just stfu if I feel the need to remind myself of the exact syntax for one of the 3 or 4 different for loop options in c#.


  • As a senior programmer I can’t write a for loop without the internet.
    I can’t remember the last time I saw a job listing that didn’t expect me to be an expert in at least 5 languages. The best part is that halfway through the interview you learn that they are no longer using half the languages listed, and are “transitioning” towards 2 others that aren’t even listed. You want me to whip out examples written in Fortran, C++, Rust, JS, and some random word you claim is a language in 2 hrs without the internet? Bitch, I don’t even think I could get prewritten “Hello World” examples compiled in 5 different languages in 2 hrs, much less on machine that I have never seen before.


  • I admit at first we all felt like filthy communists, but the rush you get from the sound of the steel wheels sliding on steel rails followed by the sound of a train obliterating a Nissan at over 90 mph is god damn addictive. Occasionally, we’ll catch a lifted pickup that has stalled on the tracks (ironically it’s almost always a Dodge Ram) and man those dumbasses universally want to blame the train, so we all get to “Stand out ground” and riddle that truck with so many bullets that it doubles in weight. Hell, that’s how I met my bff Harlan. He was working off his community service time for his 3rd DUI right there next to the track picking up litter. Next thing you know him, me, and the train engineer are seeing who can spin the rear tire of some upside down Dodge the fastest. Harlan is a damn good shot, but since he was serving community time he wasn’t allowed to carry anything bigger than a 9mm, so he definitely lost that one.


  • Me and the wife like to drive down from Tallahassee real early so we can spend the entire day riding the Brightline. They got a special car for those of us that buy the all-day passes. Its like tailgating at the ball game, people bring their coolers and sometimes a small grill. We always have a couple spotters watching for cars on the track ahead of us. If the cars linger on the track too long then we all start the war chant. It started out as BL! BL! BL! SMASH!, but now it has kind of morphed into BALLER! BALLER! BALLER! SMASH!
    It’s like driving in a demolition derby but at like 125 mph and you don’t have to spend any time or money getting a hoopty running.




  • They don’t believe that the party is innocent at all. They know that awful shit is happening, but they chose to lie to themselves, and others, because the Republicans deliver something that they value more than their self respect, or respect of others. For most, it is permission to hate. There’s someone, or some group that they hate so much that they are fine with whatever is “actually happening” as long as they can hate, and their hate is rightous and justified. With enough little lies like “both sides are doing it, so what are you going to do?” stacked on top of each other, then they can disassociate the awfulness from themselves and their party, and shift their disgust for what is being done to the other party.
    You just have to realize that the strength of their hate for the Democrats is actually how much they hate then and their own party. So, knowing how much mental effort and emotion goes into lieing to themselves and everyone else, you now have some idea of how truly awful their little secret is.
