*gimme yo ips so i can find out*

Oh damn

I overslept today, i'm supposed to be in college lol

oof

It's okay, a day of leave never harmed anybody

probably

depends on the agenda I would imagine

hope you make the most of it though.

Do you have a major?

Yeah, computer science

I kinda wanted to go for civil, but i think ill have more use for computer science

If you are good at it for sure

I tried it out but could not keep up myself.

Aww...What happened, hun?

Moved way to fast for me, not as good at learning math and technical skills as I was in primary school.

Currently majoring in civic leadership now.

I still admire computer science, my best friend recently graduated and is now a data analyst.

That's great!

Personally, i've never had difficulty in maths

Maybe cos it's the difference with the schools we attended

We were taught about differentiation in 7th grade

well that certainly helps, America education greatly falling behind.

And calculus was mostly covered by 10th grade

It also helps that i love maths myself

It's the most creative part of STEM

I used to, but now I just struggle with it.

i never had difficulties in math but i hated it

I'd say with that knowledge computer science should definitely be pursued.

Hey, American education isn't too bad

Atleast the students aren't killing themselves

it really is

Having any programming knowledge these days should be pursued

The education here is really bad. Completely based on rote learning, memorisation

Coming out and not qualifying for jobs and a path to prison and drugs doesn't help though

that can be difficult

Comp Sci is kinda different. You can get a good job if you don't have a degree

American education isn't bad, the problem is that it is not good.

many employees care more of what you've done vs. what your degree is

though not to knock having a comp. sci degree

Degree can certainly help more in the what you learn vs the accolade itself

@RedShipley what would you say i do to increase my chances of getting a job?

a good github profile

maybe a website that they can browse

Cool. I'll do that!

If you can do a lot currently, building a portfolio always helps.

If you have a bunch of projects on that, you'll be steps ahead of your fellow grads that don't

One of the more important things you learn with schooling is the algorithms really.

also this website: https://www.careercup.com/

has a lot of the questions that interviewers ask

sometimes even straight from it

people are often too busy to be creative

My uncle tells me that clean, organized, and optimized code are often sought after, it is not always best to just make it work, but needs to be ready to be adapted.

very true

i often dont finish until the deadline because product owners change their mind constantly

Also notes are absolutely necessary, because it will help others that you work with, or someone in the future who will be doing updates, or even yourself because you will forget why you even did something. Ether way employers will look for this.

Good point.

I imagine that a lot of programs rely on each other as well, especially when considering databases, so I would guess that being organized would help in that sense as well.

Good documentation for the future

I imagine there are moments when a programmer remembers there was something super effective that they used before but cant quite remember what it was.

It happens. After thousands of lines of codes, things get forgotten

Also good place to practice, run into problems that if you find an answer for will help you down the line.

AHAHAHAHAHA

Jesus fucking christ this is hilarious

the self awareness scale bottomed out

Sadiq khan, the guy who literally banned posters with thin women so it doesn't offend fat people

`and then it kept going down`

Please tell me how that makes sense

watching farmlands

o my i misjudged lauren

Same. Wasn't expecting much when I saw it. Turns out it's pretty goooood

And not gonna lie every news like that makes me a little racist... how can that be happening like that

Oh, right, white people suffering, who cares

I really liked Farmlands. I wish she looked into more cases though

I am legitimately confused with that tweet, what are they trying to say? Nothing make sense anymore?!!

It's weird man

I'm really trying to understand, but i really don't

Shh...Let the Left eat themselves. #walkaway. 😃

It’s like they have their own language now.

I watched the interview sargon did about post modernism

Great vid.

That tweet sounds like what the professor is describing

nothing has to make sense anymore, words can mean anything

Orwellian.

Truth isn't real, it's all subjective

it's weird

But insanely brilliant

I need to look into post modernism more

I used to think it was just a prejorative that people like jbp and dave rubin used

LMFAO

Assault revolvers man

What is an *assult Revolver?*

It has the shoulder things that go up.

That‘s a bug

Nope

Jesus fuck this is hilarious https://twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/1018707668993626112

🤔

All she got out was "JEWS BAAAD"

The power of brainwash. People just spill whatever they heard out and don't understand a thing

you'd think as a politician she'd know she has to have a clear answer for questions

or else she just looks like, well, whatever that was

Isn't she for no borders tho? So why is settling in Palestine bad?

🤔 <:commie:463087263153258506>

This is the best the DSA have lmfao

All she knows is that if someone is doing badly she has to call them victims even if their situation is self inflicted.

their best and brightest can't even answer the question "what do you mean Palestine is being occupied" clearly

imagine if someone asks her "ok, so we get rid of ice, what do we replace it with?"

She’d say don’t replace it.

well, i guess she likes gang violence and human trafficking

if that were her answer

Either she is too ignorant to see the connection or supports it.

Winning a local race is not the same as winning a national race. Her posiiton now is international. She may have not realized that.

The worst part is if they succeed in abolishing ICE it wouldn't even help me sneak into the US because it's the wrong fucking organization.

The 'Abolishing ICE' part of her platform is i think the only part that caught me off guard.

That being a thing in general caught me off guard.

I get wanting to change how it operates, okay. But just killing it?

Doesnt feel like the idea was thought through.

@Kirby Shh, it makes it even funnier x3

It's not that it wasn't thought out, it's that it's just unthinking rambling. @Scarlet

I wouldnt call it rambling

@Ashers I know, but in a slightly painful way.

But somebody said it in public

People for some reason thought "This is a good idea!"

And uh

We ended up here?

??

Im honestly quite confused.

Why?

About*

How they actually ended up stating 'Abolish ICE' as part of their platform.

They think it's the correct position

I dunno either, if I had to take a guess it's a mixture of remnant dislike of "Trump's Muslim Ban"

They're just conjuring up fragmented ideological positions that they believe to be absolutely right.

Coupled with the various deportations that have made the news as of late

Allowed it to gain traction

Or rather that arrest of that lady who was separated from her family mid-day

Do they? I remembr when i first saw it, i skimmed over, and mistook "ICE" for the 'DEA' (I was tired or something)
But then i saw it again, googled ICE, and was very confused.

Just a guess

Abolishing ICE would be both very difficult/Alot of work, and i likely not gain them the result they want

It's not a very well thought out stance

Oh no it is a well thought out stance

When I asked my friend who's a lefty about it she thought they monitored the border too >.>

I wonder how many people have that misconception

Only for me to google and inform her that that's a different branch of Homeland security

Because that's a entirely seperate agency

If its not in a cnn article dont expect them to know it

?

We arent talking about people who love CNN though.

people rarely take the time to research issues, theyll hear something and form an opinion on it without having a solid base

This comes from the 'Justice Democrats' and what's her name, Ocasio Cortez

Yeah i got that name right.

These are people in a similar camp to Bernie

Not Clinton

does she think that ICE patrols the borders?

Ocasio Cortez? I cant imagine she does. She must at least know the gist (IE; Google search) of what they do if she put it in writing as part of her platform

Yea no shes definetly had someone think out her paltform for her

What that is exactly depends on how tinfoil hat you want to get

"Ocasio-Cortez wants to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and believes there should be a "clear" path to citizenship for unauthorized immigrants.

"As overseen by the Trump administration, ICE operates with virtually no accountability, ripping apart families and holding our friends and neighbors indefinitely in inhumane detention centers scattered across the United States," Ocasio-Cortez said on her website.

She also wants more protections for young unauthorized immigrants known as "Dreamers" and immigrants who have temporary protections from deportation."

I dont think so?

I believe she has the correct understanding of ICE here?

that sounds like it yea

rather silly, since the name would just change and the same policy would be carried out

its not as if we can stop enforcing borders all together

Well, eh, maybe.
If you actually ended up abolishing ICE, it'd be a big job, and you'd probably end up changing the rules that make ICE do this in the first place

But again, it's much easier to simply reform ICE

Then kill it

https://i.imgur.com/JxRsp4L.jpg

Here's something she was handing out, summary of her platform

That's the thing, she has things that everyone wants in there, but others that are just far-fetched.

What do you have in mind other then 'Abolish ICE'?

I’m surprised she has support for veterans on there.

Im not.

Her group are anti war, but very pro treating veteran mental problems more seriously/consistently then they have been.

100% jobs. A Keynesian idea that has failed time and time again, because it's unbelievably expensive, and bloats the birocratic system to no end.

Well its politics, they can call it a 'universal job guarentee'

Universal jobs guarantee, is how she has it on there

but it wont play out like that.

The describing text just says 'living minimum wage'

It'll play out like pre Thatcher London

Also in terms of what they actually talk about, i dont really ever hear 'universal job guarentee'

It's usually just minimum wage stuff

She probably wants the 15$ minimum wage

The housing thing will make howsing super expensive.

I dont follow.

And if it is a minimum wage thing than disemployment will go up

She'll create more people that she'll need to help

Depends. Unemployment from minimum wage hikes are usually only short term, so long as the hike is found to be tolerable.

@Scarlet well, think about it this way. Democrats overwhelmingly support citizenship of illegal immigrants and oppose deportations. A lot of them also support open borders. The most famous authority that carries out deportations and tracks down illegal immigrants is ICE, so they are in direction opposition to the previously mentioned policies.
Hence, they want to abolish ICE.

Yeah but if you sit down and think about it, it'd be better to repurpose the agency. I guess you could kill the agency and move the personnel to something else, but just exploding it and calling it a day

would be pretty pointless

Yep

Some people on the Leftists faction dont want to abolish ICE, they want to reform it

well it would have a point, it would serve to help to collapse the entire country

which is the goal

That seemed to be the general idea i saw until very recently

Dunno where the 'Abolish ICE' people came from honestly.

Im going to assume the fad will fade sooner or later.

It will

Not many people are in favor of abolishing border control

Itll be like "common sense gun control"

Some of it can be called 'common sense' like universal backround checks

"common sense instant deportation of anyone that crosses illegally"

There already is that IIRC

Limiting the magazine to this or that, or making strange rules for what is and isnt allowed though

Not so much

can't have any of that dangerous black plastic

black plastic makes bullets fired from the gun 86.4% more deadly to humans

Just to humans?

yes

If people can only use a pistol you have a better chance of dodging the bullets.

Hmm, the more you know

What's black plastic? o.O

Plastic. Dyed black. Presumably?

Well, lets be fair, why would I shoot something that's easy to dodge

"assault" weapons bans tend to target guns based on how they look, meaning one gun can be illegal while a gun that is functionally identical is legal

Let's be fair why would you ever shoot a gun? It gives PTSD.

I don't get how that's more dangerous to only humans o.O

it was a joke

Oh @_@

I thought he was serious "OTZ

Just like D&D?

lmao

D&D is amazing! You take that back! Or I'll keyboard warrior you!

Fuck it, I'm tired, we'll fight another night

I agree, but some snowflakes claim it gave then PTSD

Them*

It was hilarious @Ashers

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/firing-ar-15-horrifying-dangerous-loud-article-1.2673201

That is ... Nope, just nope, I'm going to bed xD No more of these silly people

🤔

"one time i was in an imaginary scenario and it was a traumatic enough event to cause permanent mental damage to me"

```The recoil bruised my shoulder, which can happen if you don't know what you're doing. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary form of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable.```

sounds like someone needs a straight jacket

I can't format. rip

Yay
