Damn, Americans checking for body hair at polling booths now

Also archers being told to “fire”

as firing didn’t exist until gunpowder, the instruction wouldn’t make sense. Like telling a soldier now to “activate the positronic tacyons!” instead of “fire”

Some have been useful things about being more incisive, direct, clear, plainspoken.

Others have just been that people are competitive and look for any advantage to get “ahead” and curry favor with the boss, even when there’s no competition, no prize, no winner, no advantage. They just feel that by “beating” someone they “win” somehow - or might in the future.

In the latter case i console myself that a complement from one of my coworkers means almost nothing in the grand scheme of things and the promotions at my job hardly make a difference in pay but mean starting an hour earlier.

hey now but what if I want my code to be like

 if gun.is_valid and not gun == null and gun.id != null:
        shoot()

  func shoot():
         fire(gun):


    func fire(gun):
          if gun.is_valid and not gun == null and gun.id != null:
                   weapon_activate(gun)

I speak a little French, not fluent, but love Jacques Brel.

Haven’t seen The League of Gentlemen mentioned (not to be confused with the movie with extraordinary in the title)

I’m in my 40s now but boy oh boy when I was in my 20s->early 30s sunrise meant it was time to think about where I was going for the after-party
