There are many flavors of murdering psychopaths. A few mass murderers from history would’ve been called cliche portrayals today.

The banality of evil is what needs to be learned. Much like fascist rhetoric sounds stupid and is obvious in a vaccuum, when people are drenched in it, A LOT of people slowly succumb to the horrible attitude even if they never start explicitly supporting fascistic positions.

It is poison much like mental illness becomes a poison, slowly enabling mostly normal people to do terrible things, like Todd. Todd was only a psychopath in that he exhibited no sympathy, which a lot of “normal” psychopaths have. It took an enabling environment to turn Todd in to a dengerous captor and murderer.

It wouldn’t be part of the systemic fixes, no, but it would be part of the emotional healing that we all need.

Neither are executive pay packages. In fact, they harm A LOT more people than one rich prick… So defend them if you want, but know that in doing so, you defend the very problem.

Nah, suits don’t deserve the dignity of a painless existence. They made their choice to be a soulless husk, and that’s how they should be treated.

It’s not an industry, and it’s something that can happen to any agency. Figure out how to recover it if you want ANY environmental protection agency, because this kind of stuff can happen with ANY remotely compromised protection agency.

Did Trump put another DeJoy in charge of it? I know Repugs want to destroy the EPA. Wouldn’t surprise me if they have troublemakers on staff…

IMO, the most important parts are to document the actual intent of the code. The contract of what is being documented. Sure, it’s only so useful in perfectly written code, but NO code is perfect, and few will come through later with full context already learned.

It makes it sooo mich easier to know what is intended behavior and what is an unchecked edge case or an unexpected problem. If it’s a complicated thing with a lot of fallout, good documentation can save hours of manually lining up consequences and checking through them for sanity.

You might say, “but that’s indication of bad code!”. No. Not really. Consequences easily extend past immediate code doing things as trivial as saving data to the database without filtering, or having a publicly available service. Even perfectly coded things come up with vulnerabilities all the time due to underlying security issues. It’s always great to have an immediate confirmation of what’s supposed to happen whether it’s immediate code or some library with a new quirk in a new version.

Your pride in ignorance is pathetic. Perfect example of why public education is critically important to fund, and to fund properly.

Conservstives cling on to old, stupid ideas that are in the process of being proven wrong. Again and again and again and again.

But you go ahead and defend that hill that brought us golden gems of wisdom like “Trickle Down Economics”, private, for-profit prisons, and a lack of regulation so companies can dump what ever they want in to rivers and the ocean…

Nonono, you misunderstand the political landscape.

Something having downsides IS NOT the same as the claims being made against things. If you think conservative politicians are arguing in good faith, you simply haven’t been listening.

There really are not sound (conservative) arguments against them.

If you do not agree, you do not know enough. Period.

No, there’s really not sound arguments against them. That’s why nobody ever hears sound arguments.

Stop assuming ghosts exist because you saw a picture frame on the wall move when a large truck went by…

This trash might’ve set itself on fire after it realized it’s a Tesla Cybertruck.

Or, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Brother… it IS broken for many.

I’d argue it’s not the rating but the writing.

Sure, it’s easier to write a good story when only the overtly “gross” is off limits, but there are plenty of great stories where all the horror of its setting or events are only implied. It’s all about how the story is told.

Hollywood does have a very full history of dumbing things down to the point of boredom even outaide of ratings, so I’m not surprised what so ever that this movie flopped.

It would’ve either took excellent writing exploring the story the games present further than the games ever did, or an R rating so the spectacle could be, “Mad Max with scifi”.

Hollywood had no chance of either with a pg-13, though that’s because bean counters HATE paying for good story tellers.

Rich scum protect their own. That is why US “news” conglomerates always treat him with gloved baby hands.

Wrong. Try again.

If you think I won’t vote for Harris, you are truly stupid.

Stop thinking in tribalism, you fool. Someone can be better than someone else yet still have much room to grow. The fact you fail to understand that basic fact of life is actually pathetic.

No, it’s just factually correct. You can whine about it all you want, but Republicans would rather personally strangle your first born than give people even a government insurance plan.

If that offends you, you’re either dumb or uninformed or both.

Exactly, it’s a responsibility.

… So why are you giving the DNC a pass on choking at the plate, repeatedly?

Note: No one has said to not vote blue. This is a discussion about increasing voter turnout, not blaming people for not wanting to engage with a broken system.

You can not believe them all you want. It doesn’t magically make everyone competent.

Businesses value MONEY first, not security, not happy customers, not competent staff. MONEY.

Which is cheaper? Get a product working enough to sell. Get a product properly developed, secured, and audited.

Pick one. Hint: corporations choose MONEY. Every time.

Your data is not safe, because rich pieces of shit like MONEY more than they like YOU.

Their “constituents” are the corporations paying their bills. When was the last time you bought a politician?
