You guys think that humanity has increased in crappiness over the past 100 years or we've been that way the entire time and globalization is just bringing more to our attention?
We've been that way the entire time and globalization is just bringing more to our attention.
Yes, my lack of faith in humanity is epically large.
I agree, humans have always sucked. We just see it way more often.
The the idiots who are driving during a hurricane and then get washed away in a flooded road. Darwinism is trying it's best to take these people out, but other humans keep stepping in to save those lives...

Let's put it this way, if you see ME driving into the hurricane, just let me go, I finally snapped.

I'm kind of an optimistic nihilist--meaning I don't believe life has any inherent meaning or purpose but that is a very positive influence on me. Like saying "nothing really matters."
I think humanity killing itself is to be expected.

The only way I can see us actually evolving past our base instincts is if we find a way to have some kind of collective experience. Something that enables you to go through what I've gone through and actually reach a tangible level of understanding. We would actually learn from history if we had something like that.

New ad practice over on SW... putting the ad at the very top of page 2....
Nice and annoying.

@DustinB3403 just saw that ad pop up on the ML Top of the Week list, too.

uBlock origin stops all that bullshit. No such thing as "acceptable ads".... But you may have SW whitelisted (a foolhardy move...).

If someone were to say that ""Powershell is not programming, its scripting"" Isn't scripting programming since you have to build something to manipulate or interact with something to deliver results? What does programming do again? That quote was from a trainer of a popular IT learning site.

Yes, scripting is one of the two forms of programming languages. Programming languages are scripting/interpreted and compiled. Scripting is the bigger player today and the hotter of the two, but neither is going anywhere. Thinking scripting isn't programming is one of those common myths you get from people who've done some IT certs but never learned about programming. Any day one programmer knows that scripting and compiling are the two ways to program. This is literally the first day of "what is a program" for kids learning their first program.
