still alive, good on her

texas red also got taken out by the Arizona Ranger like a bitch, so I’ve got that going over him.

it’s still bullshit doublespeak if they are not adapting new things being developed by communities like using more gender neutral forms of the language.

“oh a bunch of people are doing a new thing? let’s ignore that and just add another loanword that roughly the same number of people are using”

OK Smartass, I did that last night and was still awake at 5 fucking AM.

I didn’t want to come off pissed. I’m sorry if it was perceived like that

You did not come across that way, just that you assumed I put in Merkel when I deliberately avoided putting her in, so in terms of tone and whatnot, there’s no problems.

I guess people could interpret the decisions of Thatcher in multiple ways as well. Those people would be wrong though.

With thatcher it’s a bit more straightforward for some of the things she did and it’s wide ranging impacts. I don’t think Merkel decimated entire regions of germany the way thatcher did to britain, even though she made some people very rich.

Merkel may have made choices that had undesired impacts, but thatcher was really something else.

I purposely avoided putting her name in as she is a complex ruler who is largely average and debatable the same way most male leaders are and her decisions can be interpreted in multiple ways by multiple people…

unlike May, thatcher or kitchner.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technocracy

A technocracy is a model of governance wherein decision-makers are chosen for office based on their technical expertise and background. A technocracy differs from a traditional democracy in that individuals selected to a leadership role are chosen through a process that emphasizes their relevant skills and proven performance, as opposed to whether or not they fit the majority interests of a popular vote.

a system that lets the money guy call himself CTO.

is probably more of an oligarchy or some other thing about rich people having power; technocracy is about getting people who know their shit run stuff that they know about

how many works of fanfiction did you make that’s Stamets X nuPike?

The world would be so much better with women in charge.

The women in charge we end up with :

(nb : I’m not saying women are incapable of power, just that assuming women would be great leaders is a stupid idea. There are examples of great/not horrid female leaders like Jacinda Ardern, but thatcher, this woman, Kirchner, theresa may, the lettuce woman are all terrible)

various languages: so I called it a horse.

I’d probably reject PRs into my FOSS projects, because the aim is to put the code out there for other people to see and do what they want with it. I’m expressing myself, and sharing what I made; I’m not setting up a tentpole project for others to pitch in and take over on, and start managing their contributions and collaborate with them.

If they want to take the code and do something with it, great. I don’t want to be involved in their endeavour.

I heard this word for word but in Arabic back in like 2006 about Yasser Arafat. What’s old is new again.
