Multiple episodes had guns. There’s the banned Dratini episode of course, but James is literally robbing a store with an MP 40 in Squirtle Squad.

After the Porygon episode, right at the time Ash meets Blaine, TR only seems to carry generic bad-guy bazookas. Pokemon figured out what their identity was gonna be REAL fast.

Pre-Porygon episode Pokemon is a fucking trip

They’ll willingly catch leprosy if Trump told them to.

I know, I didn’t mean to sounds argumentative with you. You presented the facts clearly for the OP who asked their question. :)

This is why I would have crossed behind but, did he make eye contact with you? A Pillars are so fucking thick nowadays cars have blindspots forward of the driver. And frankly some people should have never passed their driving tests and we would have public transit to get them where they need to be.

Had a guy pulling out of a parking lot while I was walking on the sidewalk, with him waiting on the sidewalk to pull into traffic. He actually bothered to back up a bit so I didn’t have to walk in front or behind him. It wasn’t necessary but a cool gesture. We could all do a little more of that in the world.

The supreme court stacked with Trump and Bush appointees, the ones who were installed there explicitly so they would abdicate their responsibilities and dissolve the separation of powers.

When people say they want Democrats to fight harder, what they’re asking for is for someone to use the same dirty tricks as Republicans to defend their democratic institutions as opposed to tearing them down. To that end, we ought to wipe our ass with SCOTUS’s ruling on presidential immunity. Merchan should have sentenced Trump anyway. Let the Republicans appeal back to SCOTUS, and then wipe our ass with their decision a second time.

It’s distasteful to stoop to their level of dirty tricks and stall tactics, but playing by the rules is what fascists always count on to seize power. Even if we have to break our own rules, we should fight them with everything in the proverbial arsenal. The country and its people will not survive if they have their hands tied behind their backs by the paradox of tolerance.

It is worth pointing out that other governments have prosecuted and removed their presidents, prime ministers, and other heads of state, and their government still function.

This article covers a good assortment of those cases, from Sarkozy to Netanyahu.

Unfortunately it predates South Korea’s most recent crisis, and Netanyahu’s use of the war in Gaza to stay in office.

Last I checked, Isreal, South Korea, and France have not collapsed or lost any functionality by those events.

The argument US conservatives love to put forth is “contacting Georgia’s governor and asking that he conjure up enough votes to help Trump win, that’s an official presidential request, it was totally kosher” is wrong, and no other words other than “wrong” need to be used to describe it. Asking a governor to rig an election is not “the exercise of a constitutional power [that cannot] be infringed on [by] holding the individual personally liable” because it is not a constitutional power being exercised. It is just corruption and authoritarianism.

Vacation is a quaint problem lol, at least you know they’re eventually coming back. What do we do about the guy who retired 5 years ago and still has locked files in his name?

I could go all day with my grievances… For some fucking reason, Team Foundation Server thought it would be a good idea to model their source control on folders and files rather than atomic nodes of changes like git.

I’m sure someone thought this was intuitive, but it falls apart once you realize you can check in cross-branch or even cross-project files into a single changeset. This allows you to easily pollute projects you’re working on but didn’t intend to modify yet, if you forgot to exclude their files. And then, when your code reviewer checks the history of the project folder you modified, they don’t even notice all the files you changed that WEREN’T in that folder but were part of the same changeset. So you pass your review, and all the sudden there’s unwanted, unnoticed, and untested changes in some other project, with a nice code review stamp on them!

And the entire checkout/checkin system is just flipping the read-only flag on the files in file explorer. It’s the most amateurish shit. If you edit a file in an open, active project, the file gets checked out automatically. But if you’re editing loose scripts that aren’t part of a bespoke SLN or CSPROJ, you have to check those out manually… which it will only tell you to do once you try to save the file.

And then Visual Studio cannot understand that I might need to switch regularly between 2 types of version control systems. If you’re not on the same VCS plugin when you want to open a recent project on it, it doesn’t automatically switch it for you, it just refuses to load the project. The only way to reliably to switch is by going into the options menu, changing it there, THEN loading the project.

git is practically made of grease compared to how stuttery and clunky TFS is. I’ll shed no tears for the fossils who are having a hard time learning git, they will be better off whether they realize it or not.

Welcome to my world… our new lead architect has mandated that we move everything from TFS to GitLab before the end of the year. I hope it comes true.

Yeah VSS was the predecessor to TFS, and now TFS is called Azure DevOps… whatever the fuck that means, Microsoft needs to get it together with product naming. Anyway TFS sucks major rotten ass. I have my problems with git - namely user friendliness - but TortoiseGit has put all those troubles to rest.

Nothing like that can fix TFS.

That was the whole play with COVID. Not much changes in 5 years it seems.

I pay for Cursor to generate code, not to patronize me.

I think you paid for a hooker and expected a girlfiend. Not only can she not fill the emotional void in your life, she can only provide short term satisfaction you will inevitably try and fail to recreate afterward.

“Get my feature to work” fr? Your inner techbro is showing. Coding is as much a creative endeavor as it is a technical one. Do you have so little attachment to your idea that you don’t even try to make it come to life yourself? Do you lack the education or know-how to do it? A person would happily teach you, or code it for you, if you asked (or maybe paid).
