Isn't that how democracy literally works? Giving a random person off the street the ability to vote leads you to these results. No surprises honestly.

This is another reason why people are interested in Bitcoin/Ethereum/etc. It's sickening to have arbitrary governments and entities decide on a whim to freeze or steal your hard earned money.

Yep, word for word applies to the invasions by the US, UK, etc. and arguably those are even worse. Just a few weeks ago, Biden is stealing $7 billion from the Afghani people, which will cost millions of lives on top of the destruction they

It actually did come from God: first of all, He created us and put in us "fitrah" (natural disposition). Secondly, a lot of the moral code especially in the West today is based on the Judeo-Christian tradition. Even though those r

Yes, I inferred because earlier you mentioned Java and C#, but only mentioned C# when it came to method overloading. Does Java have the same issue you were referring to when you mentioned C#?

> We will always have to pay for goods in a fiat currency Only so far, this will hopefully change in the future. People are tired of the government being able to print money at will and devalue their hard work.

Of course they do, why not make money in immoral and parasitic ways when it's so easy? /s

Why are they an issue in C#, but not Java, which also has similar method overloading? Or are they related to default arguments?

What does that have to do with the existence of God and Him being the source of morality? Also, Dawkins is a suspect figure to say the least, he's all over the place and clearly has an agenda.

It's trivial to look up the docs to see what they do. It's not unlike looking up what a function call does.

Golang is quite bad when trying to find an implementation for an interface, because it is quite easy to accidentally implement an interface even if you're not intending to. This also makes it much harder on the IDE to index everything.

Passing context everywhere is quite ironic in a language that is supposedly "non-colored" when it comes to being able to call any function concurrently. In practice however, passing context becomes that function's color. Pro

Because golang doesn't have constructors, you're forced to implement functions that mimic them yourself. And the language still doesn't prevent you from directly instantiating the struct yourself, meaning it is always possibl

The moral views you have are remnants from both (1) fitrah (natural disposition, which is not free from corruption by the way, and (2) a Judeo-Christian view of the world. While both of those religions have been corrupted, their still exist

Is this good or bad? Does it mean that Russia is not the threat that was once thought? Putin still holds nukes, and we don't want him to feel threatened enough to use them.
