Sounds like great news, no?
Just as we had a time before fungus digesting plant matter, we’ve now had a time before fungus digesting plastics.
“Soon” we’ll get bacteria and insects doing the same, and all our plastic buildings will need to be protected just as the wood ones.

They say they’re Christian, they do things in the name of their Christian belief, they act in accordance to a Christian agenda.
Seems like they’re at least as Christian as the next one, if not more.
Yeah, and although greedy, maybe not enough to ruffle feathers over.
No payment for sub-1000 streams/year
If you’re buying tickets that far in advance, PTO is less of a request and more of “notifying you to fill those days”.
I trawled through your profile a bit, enough to see that you’re reasonably well meaning, but both steeped in biased propaganda and having issues from the many broken systems in the US.
My question however is how you believe that Trump will make your life better?
From my perspective (from Europe), you’re exactly the type of person Trump loves grifting off of. Last time he did a lot of killing off lower middle class jobs, plundering your workers rights, protections and wages, mismanaging or dismantling support systems like healthcare, infrastructure, disaster readiness, while also increasing taxes on you. Oh, and also bumbled through the pandemic and disaster responses causing more than a million unnecessary deaths.
He also openly broke the law, got very questionable payments coinciding with odd policy changes, and leaked/sold national secrets not only betraying the institutions, but the nation itself.
He’s also a known adulterer, liar, slanderer, prideful cheat.
So that would seem to disqualify him as a good pick for either policy, statesmanship, patriotism, or moral reasons.
The only remaining reason then seems to be feelings, no?
Feel free to tell me what Trump does better than Biden, for your life and/or for the nation, or whatever other perspective is more important for you.
Covid had plenty of travel restrictions, took less than a week to set them up. There’s already issue with people being falsely flagged as terrorist or other no-flight risk, and with some of the anti-leftist rhetoric it’s not a big leap to make. Also it’s entirely in line with Russia labelling LGBT as terrorists, which several GOP/MAGAts are breathing heavily over.
I hope you’re right, I just don’t see anything but decorum stopping them, and they’ve repeatedly thrown that out the window.
Just be careful to have plans for before they restrict travel. It’s very popular with Russian allies, and similarly with other autocrats
Oh, so Trump is now running on the glory of the German republic? Seems like an odd shift in campaign strategy. /s
“Reich” doesn’t mean “Nazi”.
That might be true in german. But Trump’s addressing the US, and particularly a demographic known to a) not speak german, b) associate "Reich"with the propaganda of the Aryan Third Reich of Nazi propaganda, which was the ideal to be ushered in by (and excuse) the Holocaust, Secret Police, Ghettos, systematic execution of homosexuals/disabled/colored, the subjugation of the lesser races, and other pastimes of the notoriously sympatico nazis.
Me calling you Shirley, no matter how much you insist you’re Tom, doesn’t make Shirley a slur, it just makes me a rude asshole.
It’s always worthwhile to learn new things!
And programming is a tool, so it’s typically made to be clear how to use it, although of course people will differ on what needs to be clarified the most.
My experience is that there’s way too much discussion in what tool to pick, it doesn’t matter that much and almost all of the common languages will allow you to do all the things. And even though some will be better adapted for certain applications, it’s easy to pick up the new tool when relevant, and you’ll be that much ahead by being well versed in one.
As for how to learn, I find that you kind of need to figure out the basic syntax in each language (loops, conditionals, output, memory management, typology, lists, function calling, maybe classes/libraries if you’re fancy), and then start doing projects.
A nice intro for C# is the C# Player’s Guide by R B Whitaker, using some gamification and storytelling to get you through the basics, and even leave you prepared to tackle your first projects (by practicing design philosophy, how to break down projects, etc).
Otherwise, Python is a lot of fun, it’s made to be very easy to jump into, and then it’s fully featured to do anything you’d like it to. Unfortunately all my resources for it are in my local language, but it has many many users so I’m sure there’s great resources to be found in your own language.
I understand that this information is against your internal narrative, but a quick look at data for 2021 shows:
One in two women and one in five men felt unsafe walking alone after dark in a busy public place.
And data from 2022 shows 45% for the same measure.
As for harassment:
2022 - 55% of women 16-34 felt harassed
2021 - Three out of five, 60% felt harassed during the year.
Twice as many women reported being harassed as men, and several reported changing their behaviour because of harassment.
This is also echoed in international studies over multiple cultures. Women are much more often harassed than men, almost exclusively by men, and have more limited freedoms, expressions and rights than men.
This is not controversial, it is well established in study after study, there is an actual right answer to this, and it’s not the one you’re proposing.
How is it that you keep ignoring data when faced with it, and instead of presenting supportive data resort to arguing feelings and whataboutisms?
Edit: Link to 2022 raw data
From the study summary:
Three out of five women aged 16 to 34 years experienced at least one form of harassment in the previous 12 months
Three out of five is 60%.
Did… did you miss the #metoo movement?
Where like 60% of women get harassed regularly, and 50 % felt unsafe walking home in public, due to men. Or 79% of women felt unsafe while exercising, due to men. And 88% of travelling women felt unsafe, due to men.
Bears are hungry, scared, have cubs to protect, or mostly want to be left alone. They won’t stalk you, leer at you, catcall or grope you.
You sir, are the one lacking self reflection.
When does this raise questions of precedent? Is everyone entitled to 10 violations of a gag order in NYC now?
The bad part is that a normal person wouldn’t order that, and Biden is quite normal. Only the radical MAGAts or worse would.
I was assuming the help of a speech/ghost writer, as he did in his presidential days
Only if he manages to write a manifesto, I’m not sure Trump can write anything coherent longer than 140 characters.
Go picket, with enough people showing that justice matters, they’ll have to find a less corrupt judge.
