Oh, for sure. All it takes is me looking at an Awk one-liner to make my headspin. Give me a simple "for each line in $FILE, reformat MM/dd/yyyy as dd/MM/yyyy" instead of... whatever that looks like in Awk.

The hardware of a computer is not designed to handle natural language parsing. Techbros with just enough knowledge to be dangerous will say it's a matter of complex-enough software, but it's more that human brains are not Von Neumann machines

I didn't know where he was from, nor had I heard about him until the outrage machine hyped him up. I just assumed he was an immigrant based on the outrage, but I guess that's asking too much of the racist who can be fooled into liking Kid Rock.

I think it's Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcolm just saying "never eating, ahh, again" with the same cadence as "life, ahh, finds a way"

Linux From Scratch or be doomed to be an eternal noob.

Then it's writing your own kernel. Then your own bootloader. Then your own UEFI.

Chomsky after the leaks: "I'm an old, old man, and I'm so sickly and weary and probably on my last legs cough, cough" (looks around nervously to see if anyone's buying it)

I try to view the liberal "this isn't us" and "wow, this is just like [other country]" as a sign of progress because it means that not only do they acknowledge it's bad, they are trying to form a national identity that explicitly rejects these values.

It's far from perfect, but it's a lot better than condoning it.
