Trump makes racists feel safe to be openly racist. He has since his first term after he wouldn’t denounce his endorsement from the former grand wizard of the kkk. Since the “good people on both sides”.
Unrelated, but just a reminder its ok to punch nazis 👍
Good when I’m listening, bad when I’m talking. Ive been trained by years of online gaming to not look at people while I talk
Not exactly free, but if you dont know how to cook, or only eat the same like 3 things, meal kits like Hellofresh and others usually have pretty big sales where you can get food for pretty cheap. It’s a bit of a scam because they say like “17 free meals” but they don’t tell you its spread out over like 10 weeks. So your first box is half off, next one is 40% off, and so forth. BUT, you get to keep recipes that they send you, and then you can just get groceries from the store for like 50% - 80% the price.
Or if you already know how to cook and just want to dove in to recipes, they’re all free online at https://www.hellofresh.com/recipes , I would recommend browsing through when deciding what to eat for the week.
James Acaster has a good 4 part comedy special. Jeff Arcuri is pretty active on YouTube and instagram
My company is basically 30 startups in a trenchcoat. The bulk of our my org’s application was written 5-10 years ago by like 4 dudes, none of whom work at the company anymore. Cowboy coding doesn’t come close. We have so much legacy code and I alternate between “how the fuck does this work” in an impressed way and a horrified way anytime I look at it
Also, if you’re looking for motivation, I totally get that. I normally don’t do personal projects, because it feels like work, and I like to keep that separate from free time. But I found it’s easier to find motivation when it’s something you enjoy. The project I’ve worked most on is a magic item shop generator for the D&D games I run since I always found coming up with prices and random items to be difficult. I haven’t turned it into a full web app yet, it’s just a script to print out a table with the PrettyTables python library, but I worked on that in the airport on my last vacation because I was enjoying it!
I know Python specifically has a lot of good documentation online, but it’s pretty technical language. I would really recommend coding along with a tutorial online
Sorry I can’t actually answer your question, but in my experience, it’s hard to learn actual programming in a classroom type setting. I got a 4 year degree from a state school in computer science, and I’ve been working as a software engineer since may of 2020 (and a student contractor for 2 years before that), and I think 90% of my experience was obtained on the job.
That being said, I do think finding a tutorial online for the type of project you want to learn is a great starting point, provided you have the basic knowledge of programming concepts. If you don’t, I think w3schools is a great place to grab those. Private tutors or online classrooms are going to be expensive and the quality might not be guaranteed.
What I think you really need / want is guided, hands-on learning. Most languages and frameworks are free to download and use, and there’s lots and lots of tutorials out there. A great basic one for full stack engineering is a making a To-Do List (django python back end, and either react or angular front end is a decently easy framework). It’ll teach you basic front-end, back-end, and database concepts, and then you can play around with it whoever you want. I’d recommend uploading it to your personal github repo eith a README file talking about how to run it locally, so you can send it to possible employers. That’s a big thing that a lot of companies ask for in the interview process.
Honestly I haven’t listened to anything past Donda. I love graduation and mbdtf, and Bound 2 and Moon still give me chills just for melodies. But I’ve still got Chance and Cudi so I’m good
$0 apparently. I used to love Kanye. I could mostly excuse his bullshit because he was just clowning on the black community, and as a member, I could ignore it. But when he went “defcon” on the Jewish community, I kinda had to take a step back. Not necessarily because of what he was saying, but seeing him on Alex Jones in that mask with the net and the yoohoo, I realized how actually insane he was. I haven’t actively listened to him in like 2 years, which sucks because say what you want about his mental state, the dude could make some good music.
I don’t believe any regular person is truly bad (with several notable exceptions). People who commit horrible crimes obviously aren’t just bad, they’re evil, but the average person on the vast majority isn’t “bad”. People make mistakes, people are misguided, people are products of their environments. What makes a good person isn’t the absence of bad acts, but the self awareness to acknowledge those acts feel remorse, and try to do better. Knowing nothing about you or your situation, OP, I believe that you don’t deserve ALL the bad things in your life. The best way to combat that is to try every day to think about how your words and actions affect others. Let someone cut in front of you in traffic if you’re not in a rush, smile at or compliment a stranger, hold a door for someone. Little things that make you and them feel good. It’s a selfish thing, but leaves a net good in the world, so it’s probably fine.
I responded to a flyer on my college campus looking for new players for an upcoming D&D game. 5 years later I got married to the girl who posted that flyer. We’re still playing with some of those same players today.
No joke, it’s pronounced Kyle. It’s the Greek letter chi, the dipthong æ which is called an æsc (pronounced ash) that makes a sound similar to the “a” in “cat” but shorter, and A-12 stands for “alphabet 12” or the 12th letter of the alphabet which is L. So chi-æ-l or kinda like a two syllable “Kyle”
Chadwick Boseman. I was 24 when he died. I’m mixed and a huge nerd. He was one of the first times I saw representation like that in a comic book hero in a movie or TV show. T’Challa was a king, and his death came out of nowhere
