    I fucking hate these kinds of questions. D is the CORRECT answer because TECHNICALLY html is a markup language and not a programming language but the average person irl will just call you a dipshit for trying to explain that. If this were a question on a shitty academic exam, its going to be a 50/50 toss up on which will get counted as correct because the Autograder Bot Knows All™ but you better not fucking use AI to get your low effort AI-generated homework done quicker because fuck you.







  • Unpopular opinion but graphics do matter a little bit or at least more than the meme depicts. Dwarf Fortress was unplayable before they added actual graphics to it. I wish things moved between tiles fluidly like in Rimworld instead of it being a slideshow, but I can actually stand to play Dwarf Fortress now. If the only video games that existed were text-based, I’d probably never play video games again. Ps2 era graphics on the other hand, hell yeah. 90s era dos graphics are passable too. But PLEASE no text adventure games.




  • There is 1 good reason to not do this if you live in the US and here’s why. Let’s say you don’t have health insurance. You get a diagnosis and you have cancer. It’s going to cost 10 jillion dollars to do anything about it because healthcare providers don’t give regular people the same prices as the health insurance companies get charged. Well lets say a year later you get a job with health insurance. Now you can’t have health insurance cover that because they can prove it’s a “preexisting condition”. Have fun getting all your wages confiscated due to all that medical debt so you’ll have to choose between dying in homelessness or having to flee to a country that doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the US. Or maybe Mike Johnson will let you live out the rest of your days in gulag out of generosity.

    If you know something is wrong with you and are in a similar situation you’re probably just better off making the most of the time you have left on your own terms.




  • I kind of already did that all that stuff. During the pandemic I saw the writing on the wall: the united states is doomed to fail unless we get major reforms that are never going to happen.

    I bought a cheap lathe. I then built a furnace and a burner. I then built an end mill out of scrap metal which I then used to build a forced air intake burner so I can melt stuff with less fuel. I’ve researched and experimented with electronics to the point I can build just about anything. Electric motors, computer logic, you name it. It helps that I have a computer engineering degree anyway. I found a decent way to produce my own double layer circuit boards which is going to pay off now that custom pcb services will become 100% unattainable by normal people. Right now I’m engineering a way to build a brushless motor controller, completely out of trash without buying anything of course.

    I’ve learned how to make my own lead acid battery plates. I’ve figured out enough chemistry on my own to make all the bases and acids in at least some capacity out of stuff I can acquire for either free or really cheap.

    I still have a lot to learn and a lot to do but i’m far enough along I can continue doing that no matter how much worse and more expensive society becomes.

    I’m ready for the bitter fucking end of modernity. I’m not living like people did in the 1600s, period. And I definitely won’t be helping people who supported things I oppose.
