Italy’s Meloni denounces ‘ideological madness’ of EU ban on gas and diesel cars
  • Reality is a team sport, to some people. They don't mean things when they say words. They're just signalling loyalty to their ingroup hierarchy, and playing a dominance game where they get to decide what's true. It's not a judgement call. In their worldview there is no objective means to evaluate claims. There's just whatever their guy says, and whatever our guy says, and their guy is right because he's their guy.

    So please stop falling for it when they declare themselves fiscal experts. They don't give the slightest shit. They're just shuffling cards. It's another song and dance they do, to grasp for narrative legitimacy. Nothing else exists in their moral universe.

  • Have you gone down any rabbit holes that gave you an existential crisis?
  • I only recently tossed a Handbook Of Christian Apologetics by Tacelli & Kreeft. I was never devout, let alone outright brainwashed into anti-science nonsense, but at the cusp of my reddit atheist phase I figured a question this big deserved a fair shake. So I got a big ol' book of the best arguments anyone had. They all sucked. So that was that.

    The one that made me put the book down and go 'yep, atheist' was "the argument from magic." You think about moving your hand. Your hand moves by thought alone. Magic! Therefore, Jesus. I fucking wish I was exaggerating.

    Took another decade to figure out the people pushing these arguments don't actually give a shit about being right. The point is performing loyalty to the ingroup. There's a conclusion, and it comes from people above you, so your job is to make whatever mouth noises get there. A monotheistic god is only the purest expression of that tribalist worldview.

  • As someone who routinely argues that Steam has a de facto monopoly... Google does not have a monopoly on search. Bing / DuckDuckGo works just fine. Especially now that Google's completely fucked their own results.

    mv *.jpg is complete bullshit.

    'Well it's only passing mv a list of--' yeah yeah yeah, I know, and that's why I'm calling bullshit. It should be massively harder to execute filenames. Even if 1970s decisions make that the eternal hideous default: the lack of any idiot-proof standard workaround is incomprehensible.

    StackOverflow's full of competing one-liners and people pointing out how each one is considered harmful. The least-skeezy options use exec. That sentence should make anyone recoil in horror.

    This is not a filename problem. This is a tool problem. If a single printable character is going to silently expand into a list of names, then for god's sake, having it put each name in quotes should be fucking trivial.
