Why is the image 5MB?

For the last time - the ones you should be beating up are the Führerries!

We need to budget them tokens.

I mean, with a file named zle_tricky.c…

Okay, Aquaman.

It’s a tax you pay for synning.

• Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
• Write programs to work together.
• Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.

I guess none of these apply when reading files is involved?

You don’t need the $in | in that last command. each { str upcase } will already pipe each item to the str upcase command.

So… drows?

Probably, but only because at this point I’m fairly certain reality itself must be a parody of something.

“Doctor! I’m bleeding right here and now!”

*writing down* “last period: today”

With a little effort, one can write bad code in any language.

Not really. If that service costs x2 in compute, it also means it causes x2 pollution.

I see you purchased a washing machine. May I assume you are collecting washing machines? Of course I may. Let me offer you these excellent deals for washing machines!

Maybe the real wasted time is the friends we made along the way?

No need for scanning. I have a binder where I neatly organize them, and currently they are all shoved under the binder so that the cats won’t play with them.

Most jobs are a pointless waste of time

His journey, on the other hand, is a pointful waste of time.

If this ever happens, the manufacturer will remotely brick it. Not because they are afraid of AI taking over - they just want to force you to buy a new one from them.

a fridge to me is a cool place

Yes, that is indeed its primary function.

I would want to make sure that everyone has to go through with it, regardless of financial or social status. No “senator’s son” deferments, ya know?

That’s the most delusional idea I’ve seen in this post - and that’s a very high bar to cross. Even if you disregard the fact that said senators are going to be the one fine-tuning the rules (and other rich and powerful people “assisting” them) - keep in mind that the people of the Elite class:

• Have access to lawyers and consultants that can find ways to game the system.
• Have connections with the people in charge inside the system’s hierarchy, allowing them to arrange better treatment for their children.
• Have connections with the people supervising the system.

Their children’s conclusionary service will be more pleasant then your children’s. Trying to make them suffer won’t really work, and you’ll only end up making an already atrocious ordeal worse for everyone else.

Regarding the complaints, I hope you understand that:

• Darker skinned people will get disproportionately more complains. The darker the skin, the more complains you get. You said “verified” complains - but the managers in charge of “verifying” the complains will be more inclined to approving complaints against them.
• Neurodivergent people - depending on the way their neuro diverges - will also get more complains. In this case this increase in complains may even be justified, but… congratulation - you are now punishing them for being neurodivergent. This means, of course, you’ll want a to give them accommodations. Good thing neurodivergent people are all the same, and that the managers in this system will be understanding, so these accommodations will go to who they need to go to and won’t be taken advantage of.
• The people of the Elite class have connections with the people in charge of verifying complaints. Disproportionate amount of the complaints against Elites will be rejected.

This will be good for the ruling class. Rebellious individuals from the lower classes will be punished, shaping them into easier-to-rule-over subjects.
