@retoor lmaoooo

I'm sorry to inform you that I don't have curly hair. Sad, I know. Also I don't have a Mac. But everything else is lore accurate.

@retoor Oooh so this is like a *secret*. Our *secret*. Well, until someone creeps through either of our profiles and sees the comments.

Anyway, my good sir, nearly all of my contact info is public, save for my phone (which I don't even use). And by I strictly mean to say that there are much less unorthodox ways to contact me privately; I nevertheless appreciate your message.

Tsoding is a cool cat. I Like Zozozozooding, though I get lost in under ten minutes whenever he starts doing funky functional shit. He should pick up fasm2, which is just fasm but overdosing on anabolic steroids. Also instructions unclear, built an Apollo 11 Guidance Computer.

@retoor Party hard. https://youtube.com/watch/...

Perhaps banning is a bit extreme. But there's a fine balance to strike, eh. One can't be lenient towards malice.

@retoor "The term 'based' was actually derived from the term 'basehead' which was used during the 1980s crack epidemic. It was used to refer to individuals who were addicted to freebasing cocaine, the base form of the drug which make it smokable. (...) 'based' referred to someone who was a crackhead or acting like one."

**Based** indeed lmao.

Don't we breed snakes to use their venom for medicine? I'm pretty sure we do. All creatures have their place, even the treacherous danger noodles.

My good man, we are on a Biblical roll on devotion rant this week.

But the story is more about disobedience itself that the apple or the tree being bad; they did what they were explicitly told not to, hence the punishment.

@retoor بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

To the best of my knowledge, all of the Four Books teach forgiveness. But one does not simply "forgive themselves"; they don't wield the power to will their guilt away but to fool themselves and even fool the rest: they cannot wash away the stain, save that they first cease their transgressions and wash their hands instead, so as to turn to God in full submission to His will.

As for what Vainilla here has done: he took to spewing vile to everything and everyone, under the cover of anonimity like the coward that he is, and somehow expects that "forgiving himself" is sufficient repentance. It is not. Were it up to me, he would be banned.

But if he behaves, I will be a good sport, and make a point not to slap him.

Eh, the patriarchs forced me into the fucking Asfaimas Tournament. Again. I'd rather nuke that bone-golem contstructing son of a bitch Azbegurath with a twice-sanctified soul-ember firestorm, but we're forbidden from doing any such shit ever since my predecessor accidentally genocided half the planet with a miscalculated meteor strike; this is how we have to settle scores amongst elder magi now, by sending our most clueless disciples into the arena.

It's safe in terms of preventing calamitous mass-destruction at a biblical scale, and lame in every other respect. But we don't have enough souls in all of our wells combined to restore this damn plane a second time, so much as I hate it, it's still best we prevent arcane cataclysms for a few centuries.

Ugghh. Become the eleventh Archlitarch, they said. We'll do wicked tyranical occult shit, they said...

Oh, if only saving about half a second or so due to not having to reposition my hand would make me faster. But typing speed was never the issue, what always slows me down to a crawl is having to read and think about the frrrrreaking code.

Anyway, muscle memory is a bitch. Being able to switch to a new editor and a different keyboard layout is an impressive display of your prowess, so good going.

@kiki Though it is an audacious proposition, I am still confident we can neatly accomodate "legalization of slanging dope" into such an argument.

If their enmity is fruitless, then refusing to even acknowledge the existence of such adversaries would be the superior stratagem; but by engaging in this manner, arrogantly declaring oneself as above all hostility while simultaneously forcing a direct confrontation, the speaker sinks to a lower level, and unknowingly admits both dishonesty and defeat.

TL;DR bro no diss, but you're doing a self-own.

Learning is the foremost reason to develop a language, followed by correcting whatever inspires deep contempt for an existing one.

@retoor Nice! Now make him a puppy! A black pointer, to be precise -- that's more my style. But I will also accept baby elephant and big cute fluffy bunny. Or a swan, if you're feeling creative...

@retoor But doctor, promethean gayness is statistically inconsistent with the nigh-coprophagous fixation exposed by the subject -- we must conduct further analyses before accepting such a hypothesis!

@retoor It's the coffee doing things to my brain :B

@dfox @trogus turbo assembler shirts when?

You'll have to summon Lensflare, with cookies and milk probably. Anyway, sauce: https://github.com/WilhelmOks/...

@retoor Oh, so unexpected! Did famous multimillionaire good-for-nothing utter piece of shit leeches of society that live off swampswallowing corporate fluids on the internet really push malware on their brainrotten audience and kept absolutely silent about it for years despite their own money being poached? What a twist!

Seriously though, this some first world normie shit. What are these bitches saving money for anyway, all theyre gonna do is buy expensive worthless crap they dont need. Bunch of losers. It always goes from "FREE money!" to "the moist internal walls of my anus have been mercilessly slaughtered" pretty fucking quick doesnt it. Yet they never learn.

Well, who cares. If I have to part with a few extra bucks, but the cocksucker living off of adverts gets NO money, then I'm paying full price. Fuck him. Thats the leninist-stallmanist-interjectionist mindset, or as I've taken to calling it, GNU plus communism.

Anyway, adverts are cancer; vote uBlock for president.

@retoor Please tell me you did NOT visit cuadruple triple-double-long-u-int double-double-you dot dot dot nodecency-comma.io.com.ai and use my promo code NEEDGULAG for 300% OFF free parking...

@retoor I didn't know devRant was built for fake advertisements. Hmm, time to double down on the sponsored segments...

@donkulator Even in gulag, comrade Slavoj find new ways to sniff cocaine, use American product for disguising marketing as fatuous philosophy, marry much younger woman, and so on and so on...

@donkulator As Žižek would put it, "you need gulag".

Anarchy: the cows question the basis on which your authority to sell their milk is predicated.

@retoor How is HE (your dad) in a very *not obvious* [CLOSET] to be, telling you what's in it to boot? Don't you know what being in the closet means? ;>

And yes, my mommii. I was broke for years and years, but she never kicked me out. Thank you mommii <3

Regarding the last sentence, I can't beat much around this one, so full disclosure: I'm thirty. I couldn't *legally* marry the girl because I had no money. We still very much meant to get married, and could do so now, but sadly she passed away five years ago; God is sufficient for us and he is the best disposer of affairs.

On a lighter note, I'm doing fine.

In truth, "reinventing the wheel" as they call it is the best education, and to be fair, they have students do a little bit of this in various universities. Say implementing malloc in C, for instance.

The problem is they don't have them do this *enough*. It's what some mathematicians call "painting the fence", in reference to how math itself is usually taught in an almost frivolous manner, without affording the apprentice any serious time to ponder deeply into what they're doing, actively barring them from gaining any semblance of better understanding.

No: one simply solves the problem, by following some described method on a mindless, step-by-step basis, without knowing why you're doing what you're doing. Hence, painting the fence.

More or less the exact same idiocy can be applied to programming when it comes to education. Do not take things apart, just solve the problem. Don't think about it. Just get it done.

And that is why nothing fucking works.

@retoor My brain is spaghetti and all I can think of is what would happen if I sent you a logic bomb via fax but you somehow received it on a teletype machine.

C was conceived between 1972 and 1973.

The original K&R book was published in 1978.

"90s relic"

Tell me you're a schmuck, without telling me you're a fucking schmuck.

@cuddlyogre downloading more bitagyges right now.

lmao, I barely even need 2 gigs. GNU master race!

Doesn't OpenMW use some form of XML-looking markup for generating UI elements? Shoot, doesn't every other GUI program do this too?

One time, I said I'll just do everything with straight up C and OpenGL. Don't remember how that went. I got sidetracked and stopped working on it.

The grandest revelation yet!
