the official CPI figure is used to for a lot of things, like, say, setting how much Social Security benefits goes up YOY, or retirement pay for military retirees. If CPI is low, so is the annual raise.
CPI has been fucked with since 1980, and is the entire reason ShadowStats exists as a web site.
I think you are partially right. The Venn diagram that includes woke "gamers" and woke coders is probably near 100%, but I would argue that such "gamers" are casuals that experience gaming now only because consoles and mobile gaming is ubiquitous, are only developers in a peripheral sense, and only are in the field at all because of the zeitgeist in the 2000s to be in "tech."
In the 1990s such people would have never been called gamers, and programming the games of the 90s would be beyond most of them, as they were coded in C and other lower level languages that do not suffer mediocrity.
Yes.
It doesn't take a college degree to learn to code. Much like writing, it is something you pick up by doing, and benefits greatly from a apprentice/mentor dynamic, because you can learn to code from people who do it for a living, instead of college professors who may have not even touched a live codebase in a decade or more.
This shouldn't not be a surprise, given how many of them are college graduates.
Colleges are the central nexus of all these infestations, and it is high time people realize this, in every industry, and start to figure out how they can hire people not inculcated in far left cult ideology.
No one has heard from either of them since the indictment was unsealed, so far as I know.
I have 1945 and the first of the Pearl Harbor one, dont have the civil war ones.
Newt Gingrich (yes, that Newt Gingrich, the former Speaker of the House Newt) has a plethera of alternate history books. One 3 book series that imagines what would have happened had Lee won Gettysburg, and several books on WWII.
You cannot shame someone who has none.
If that libertard still buys the post WWII narrative that the Nazis were in any way, shape, or form "right wing," nothing he says will be thought provoking, interesting, or even humorous.
He's a programmed NPC of the libertarian variety, and as such deserves nothing but mockery and scorn.
Walter Duranty knowingly covered up the mass starvation of millions of Ukranians by Stalin in 1930s Soviet Russia. He got a Pulitzer prize for his fake reporting, at the time, and the NYT as not, as of yet, returned it.
I inherited a blu-ray player from my dad when he died, and unlike the rest of his home theater gear, it was not hopelessly out of date, so I kept it.
I also have several SATA blu-ray drives, so I can rip stuff to H265 MP4 when I get it.
I haven't given a shit what the NYT has to say about anything since I learned about Walter Duranty.
Like I said on the reddit KIA2 post on this:
John Kerry is the domestic enemy his enlistment oath talked about all those years ago.
He has forgotten his oath. I, along with millions of other veterans, have not.
Really?
Oh, the crater that movie is gonna leave is gonna be hot enough to toast marshmallows with...
Harris campaign better get used to this, they will be seeing it forever.
Waltz is, and always has been, a putz, and Harris demonstrated her utter lack of fitness to lead, yet again, when she picked him.
Nah, Republicans need to demand debates with "moderators" that favor them. I'd love to see Charlie Kirk and Jack Posobiac moderate one of these.
As if we couldn't see in the trailer for this that the Joker was going to be a supporting actor in his own sequel...
Willingly complicit. We cannot fathom how deep the disinformation goes on the left. There are people out there, a lot of them, who still believe the Russiagate Narrative about Trump. These people can exist only because the information landscape is such that their belief is never challenged.
Ill watch that later. Figures Tucker would be the person to have that guy on, he really is on a slow motion red pill.
Watergate was a deep state op, from beginning to end, and Nixon fell for it.
Open source means you can fork the fuck out of that. Someone will fork it, too, obnoxious fuckers like that always drive normal people into doing it.
Reminder that Karl Marx himself is on record stating the destruction of the nuclear family was necessary to usher in communism, so when today's pocket commies denigrate the nuclear family, all they are doing is demonstrating the communist roots of modern progressive ideology.
Seriously, they do. They should have done it a long time ago after the infamous wooden asshole event at 2015 Worldcon, where long time editor in chief for Baen books Toni Weisskopf got 1216 votes to win the Hugo award for long form editing, and the fucking assholes at Worldcon conspired to vote "no award" as a block just out of spite. This was the year that Brad Torgerson set up Sad Puppies 1, which I won't go in depth on, but in short was a reader revolt against woke voting slates of Worldcon members who had been dominating the Hugo awards for their favored garbage authors for many years.
Because the 2018 murder of 40 year old white woman by an 85 IQ Somali in the Minneapolis PD was a fluke, a one off, and totally will not happen again...
Fucking Norwegians are gonna get all the diversity they deserve.
Larry Corriea explains this by using a light switch as a metaphor for describing how the right views violence, and why they are so reluctant to "flip the switch."

It permanently destroys who that person is from before the light switch is thrown. There is no going back from it, and flipping that switch is a one way descent into violence the likes this country hasn't seen in over 100 years. It will be up close, brutish, nasty, and no one is prepared for it, as much as they think they are. It will be entire families brutally murdered in their homes, snipers shooting people in the head over, and over again.
It will be Yugoslavia times Rwanda times a thousand.
And here is the scary part: I firmly believe the left thinks we won't do it. They aren't wrong to think that, because we haven't yet, and the right has tolerated orders of magnitude more infringements than the revolutionaries in Colonial America did, and we haven't figuratively stood our ground and had it out at our modern day Concord, MA.
Those same revolutionaries would have started shooting nearly 100 years ago, if not earlier, because of what FDR was doing.
