  • well why is it good? why not just assume the boilerplate as the default and require the user to override it if they want to do something fancy?

    it’s just busywork to always need to write the same stuff, and it also makes the code less readable and many people look at all that boilerplate and nope the fuck out.

    This is why python is so good for getting people to realize that programming isn’t magic, you just write the equivalent of one short sentence and BAM text in the terminal, no need to import the basic ability to print text which is so incredibly inane.


  • Are you being sarcastic? because that’s true, the döner that most people think of comes from Berlin:

    “The modern sandwich variant of döner kebab originated and was popularized in 1970s West Berlin by Turkish immigrants.[5][6][7] This was recognized by the Berlin-based Association of Turkish Doner Manufacturers in Europe in 2011.[8]” -Wikipedia

    We have our own versions here in the nordics, in fact we have a whole very specific culture of pizzerias operated only by middle-eastern immigrants where you can always find pizza with whatever you want on it and kebab that is very distinct from döner and is usually served on a plate with french fries. This does not exist in the middle east and obviously the mere concept would outright kill many italians.

    This is how food and culture works, when a bunch of people from one place emigrate to another place they take their culture and cuisine with them and it fusions with that of their new homes.
    This isn’t something new, and this isn’t something rare. The “pan” in panko (japanese breadcrumbs) comes from Portuguese.
















  • i mean i’m pretty sure the nazis chose those colours specifically to benefit from being associated with socialism, the party’s full name is literally the “national socialists” after all, the whole thing about nazism is taking something popular and using it for evil.

    I more associate them with brown anyways, that’s way more unique to fascism. EVERYONE uses red white and black, they’re literally the first colours every language creates words for.
