  • It is more than just a chance. The aggregate Vegas odds have a Joe Biden victory at +430. They literally think Donald Trump wins this election more than 4/5 of the time. We're completely fucked.

  • AOC wants to impeach SCOTUS justices following Trump immunity ruling
  • The stupidity of this statement truly strains belief given the actual verbiage in this ruling. May you suffer the full weight and consequences of that stupidity.

  • AOC wants to impeach SCOTUS justices following Trump immunity ruling
  • The president can't commit criminal acts and claim it was an official capacity, lol.

    What the fuck do you mean "lol". That is PRECISELY what this ruling does. It removes criminal liability for anything that is done as an official act, which is entirely fucking subjective, and up to the interpretation of a corrupt, coopted judiciary. Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.

  • In the US, did Amazon kill the mall, is everyone too broke, or a combination of other factors?
  • Conventional brick and mortar retail is extremely expensive to maintain. It has less to do with Amazon specifically, and more to do with the rise of online retail & direct to consumer business models more generally. Don't get me wrong, Amazon was a huge pioneer in that area, but it would have happened one way or another.

  • 'I am absolutely voting for Donald Trump': Undecided voters react to Biden's debate performance
  • I don't know who downvoted you because you are exactly fucking right.

  • Here’s why it would be tough for Democrats to replace Joe Biden on the presidential ticket
  • Hug you parents. Show them that you love them. Nothing is so important that you should forget how much they have meant to your life. My mom died suddenly this week, and far too young. The time is never long enough...

  • You didn't even do it right.

    I prefer to think of it as a visual meme collage that shows a before and after shot.

  • FYI: I'm stealing your slang. Piss baby is, for some reason, a hilariously accurate description.

  • Trump Tells Faith Conference If He Took Off Shirt They’d See ‘a Beautiful Person’ With ‘Wounds All Over’ From Defending Religion
  • It's basically a cognitive dissonance conference.

    You have also managed to successfully describe attending religious services.

  • Trump Says Foreigners Who Graduate From US Colleges Should Get Green Cards
  • Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while...

  • Anthony Fauci says Trump dropped F-bombs during 2020 COVID call
  • I literally couldn't give a frenchman's fuck.

  • Alabama Anti-Abortion Advocate Charged With Sexual Abuse Of A Child
  • Sounds like somebody needs to stop being a hypocrite and let his village stone him to death in public.

  • Will Trump go to prison for felony hush money conviction? Experts are split - ABC News
  • So prison might actually be worse, as it'll get his voters out and then if he wins there's no way he'll go to prison or have any other trials.

    I said this a week ago, and got obliterated for it. I'm glad this concept seems to be resonating with other Lemmings now that some time has passed.

    I completely agree with your other analysis as well. If the goal is for Trump to get what he deserves from the long dick of the law then the only way that happens is if he loses this election.

    The last thing anybody who gives a fuck about the future of democracy in this country should want is to turn that cocksucker into a martyr five months out from the only personal referendum on his ideology that we are going to get.

    Software Developers & Tech Lemmings - I Am A Returning Student Looking to Crowdsource Opinions on What College Program to Undertake

    Greetings fellow Lemmings,

    I know this is a community that has a strong backbone in the Software and Technology space. I am a returning student in my mid-30's that is returning to college as a way to pursue a career change. I am looking to crowdsource opinions from experienced tech professionals so I can make good quality, informed decisions about how I move forward with my educational and career goals.

    With that being said my question is how would you proceed between the programs I have linked below? I am starting at a STEM focused community college (Bellevue College) in the Pacific Northwest. My long term goal is to either transfer to another four year institution (like UW Bothell) grade permitting, or perhaps finish a four year degree from this institution. This is where your advice comes in, and where I believe I need better outside perspective to make a good decision.

    Option #1 (Software Development - Application Development Track) This is where I have been leaning because it seems to afford me the largest number of future options with the direction I take my education. Most importantly I think it sets me up in the best position to make the potential transition to the University of Washington Bothell's Computer Science & Software Engineering program. The Application Development track has a stronger focus on C# & .NET framework programming languages, which seems to provide a better foundation for more potential job opportunities at the moment.

    Option #2 (Software Development - Artificial Intelligence Track) Artificial Intelligence is obviously the buzzword of the moment. However, I am wondering if I am robbing myself of options by over-specializing this early in the process, and I also have concerns about focusing my learning process so heavily on Python when that seems to be something that is not used as a standard backbone language for more enterprise level businesses. I also don't have any interest in the robotics area of this degree, as I don't see that as being something I would look to pursue in my career. I do want to be conscientious about learning whatever is going to provide me the most future utility, therefore, I am wondering if this is the way to go for that reason.

    Ultimately, I am open to any and all advice, recommendations, and wisdom that my fellow Lemmings have to provide. My previous background was in a completely unrelated field, but I have always had a passion for technology and I am a quick learner with a lean lifestyle and no external distractions.

    • Where should I go with my education?
    • What pitfalls should I avoid?
    • When should I specialize?
    • Am I crazy for doing this later in life?
