It's a reference implementation, this stuff is intentional for debug purposes.

Not that I have much faith that final implementations will be secure lol

Just in case you don't know since it seems like it might interest you, there is a game called powerwash simulator where you just pressure wash various things.

Just "some kind" won't necessarily help. A gun has a good chance of just pissing it off more, and any melee weapon you better be a martial arts master.

Bear spray. You want bear spray.

Especially at the start of words, see also e.g. pterodactyl, which from what I've gathered native english speakers just pronounce without the p.

Yeah, it's more about that. The fastest acting, lowest overhead form of government is a dictatorship. The slowest would probably be trying to reach a consensus from discussion with the whole populace. You'll always need delegates for decision making if you want to make any society wide decisions, but it has proven very hard to make elected officials actually act in the people's best interest.

...why is it this meme making me realize that the name is a pun on warui, meaning bad

Yeah, lots of correct observations, but also lots of wrong conclusions. I'd even argue the very first point about culture is very relevant, because japanese culture inherently puts a small bit of breaks on the aspects of capitalism that spiral out of control (they have tons of hypercapitalist issues too, though).

I think it's correct that having private companies compete has certain advantages in railway infrastructure, if the right framework is given. Imagine someone from here was to start a railway company - they would know about induced demand, about the importance of having frequent service even at times of lower demand to enable rail as primary transport. They wouldn't have to convince rightoids that spending public money on that is worth it, they could just do it and see the results. In general the good thing about markets is that they enable less planning overhead as everyone focuses on their own thing. Loosely some sort of swarm intelligence.

But none of that will ever work when cars are effectively subsidized and even private rail companies would still be beholden to massive political hurdles for building new lines. Though especially the latter is a real question about tradeoffs of benefit for society vs. individual preference with no single correct answer.

You can even have a child be the abuser. One community I'm in had a case of a 13 year old lying about their age and manipulating MULTIPLE older teenagers. People are just complex.

It can be rather helpful for some things but I've yet to see any actual data supporting it being "substantially faster". To make something that works and is of equal quality, that is.

I mean if you're just making the same slightly different website for different customers or similarly boilerplate stuff, I'm sure it's substantial. But that's not really most of dev.

Tbh I would guess that the average cis person cares less about their gender than the average trans person. Not that plenty wouldn't in fact feel quite tortured by a forced gender change, but strength of gender identity is a spectrum in itself, and to actively decide that you want to transition - whether or not you actually do it - already requires you to be somewhere on the stronger feeling side, so there's some selection bias.

It's honestly insane that (even as rarely as it's relevant for a european) this thread is the first I heard of "latine". All that discourse about latinx and NOW finally I'm being told that there's been a less stupid attempt at a solution before that. Finally I can stop feeling weird as I'm trying to decide whether to just say latinos as I have no idea what the socially accepted word is in the context I'm in. I can just say latine.
