  • I mean the constant lying, petty and hateful behavior alone should be enough to get the guy impeached. Let alone the child raping and abuse of the office of president of the united states to enrich himself, his family and his inner circle.

    The whole Republican party, and a substantial part of the democratic party consists of spineless, weak traitors. Their names will go down in history as such. Now let’s steer towards consequences so that future politicians know that their job is to represent and not to enrich. It should be an honor to serve the many citizens you represent, it should be punished if you knowingly fail.







  • Honest? I don’t know if politicians are adamant enough.

    However, Trump (bullies in general) only respond to strength and violence.

    Rolling over will only embolden them more. Hopefully pointing a few nukes at the US mainland will cause their government to rethink their strategy. But this will only work if we’re willing to execute when push comes to shove.

    For some reason Russia causes Trump to roll out the red carpet, when Putin decides to grace Trump with a visit. This when he could easily force them to end the war in a few days. They are suffering terrible losses at the hand of a small country supported by NATO. I think it’s because he perceives Russia as “strong”, but in reality the only edge they have is nuclear power.

    So in short - yes, honestly I think Europe should stop trying to be diplomatic and start drawing a red line and seeing that strategy through.

    The united states’ government is now so obviously an enemy to Europe that diplomacy is clearly no longer an option.

    I think as soon as Europe starts putting their big boy pants on, Canada will join. Because if the US controls both Alaska and Greenland, Canada is next. They will probably already realise that. Hopefully talks are already underway between Canada and European nations. I would be surprised if this isn’t already a scenario they take into account.

    Mexico in the south, joined by a few other south American countries could also join in. As soon as the us is facing pressure from 3 sides, bringing the stakes to their physical borders, the tables might turn.

    And then there’s like 80% of the us population that could rise up against this. The public opinion is heavily dependent on how close the fight is to their borders.

    I believe if Europe starts reaching out NOW to Canada and south america, stop diplomacy with the US, call them out for every Nazi shit they’re pulling, and start economic, political and military pressure, we might avoid escalation.

    I really hope they already have this scenario on the back burner.










  • I’ve written thousands of lines of untyped python code for a system (still) used daily by hundreds of users, handling time critical as well as financial data. It made the company I worked for millions and it worked. Was it bug free? Nope, bugs would appear in production from time to time, but they were very easy to detect, and very quickly solved, especially because of the fact that python is an interpreted language. In 7 years of working on that application there was only one bug that caused data corruption and required us to reprocess some data that took a day or three. That was the worst thing to happen in the entire lifetime of that codebase. I totally agree that if you structure your code properly, log properly and give your developers the trust and permissions to actually solve stuff in production quickly, you might even get a competitive advantage.
