Who protects you from danger?
It sure as shit ain’t the cops, because most of the time they’re only around after a murder/attack has happened, and even then it’s not even a guarantee that they do something to help.
Investment into the community through education, social welfare programs, and gun control will always be better at reducing homicide than investment into an already militarized police force.
I mean, if you can’t fight and don’t own a gun then you’re at the mercy of cops to protect you

Yeah. Luckily the work I am doing is to fix some really bad work that the entire company has been complaining about. So once it’s fixed it will hopefully be a little bit more recognition than that. Plus my boss is pretty level headed.

No, we have worse. Dates sometimes stored as strings, sometimes as datetimes, and sometimes as integers. There is no consistency, logic, or forethought to the schema.
It’s rough.
At work, I am currently dealing with a table that has no primary key, no foreign key, duplicate (almost) serial numbers, booleans stored as strings, and so on. It’s a nightmare of a table.
Entity framework is acting like I’m on meth for using such a table.
But don’t you dare call them fascists.
Conservatives/fascists are just gonna LOVE these next few decades. Climate change is set to destroy countless homes, displacing millions if not billions of people. If they think the “border crisis” is bad now, they’re gonna lose it then.
But the cost of that would far exceed anything remotely reasonable. I say fuck it, let the birthrate drop for a few decades. The planet could use the break.
Some people will never admit anything is happening. They’ll just blame everything on something else.
We are already seeing the effects of climate change. If they were going to admit it, they would have done so already.
And the biggest polluters are corporations/industry, and the rich.

But then again, republicans won’t see a difference, or they’ll pretend not to see a difference
Oh, well if bad people did bad thing, that definitely justifies bombing civilians, which totally isn’t a war crime.
What a compelling argument you’ve made. Truly, emojis are the pinnacle of persuasion.
