He sabotaged the peace process in Vietnam because it was going to happen under Johnson and he didn’t want Johnson to carry that win into his election against Nixon.

the app I work with currently stores json as the only column in a sql table and it hurts me so very much. like watching someone pick up a screwdriver and try to bash a nail in with the handle.

this isn’t about the south, it’s about treason. this is the flag of a nation that never existed.

reverendsteveii ,

it’s because they’re racist, and the long for a return to the days of open, de jure racism. they believe treating anyone other than cishet white christians as fully human is a violation of god’s intended order for the world. they’re monsters.

reverendsteveii ,

you can be wrong about whatever you choose to be wrong about, but that’s the flag of racist traitors. always has been, always will be.

no, it became a racist traitor flag when racists flew it during their failed attempt at treason

School Hate Crime: Racist Kid Yells “N Word” While Attacking Black Girl, Breaks Her Nose And Hospitalizes Her. Black Girl Gets Suspended (kansascitydefender.com)

In a shocking, horrifying incident at Shawnee Mission East High School, a Black student was hospitalized after being attacked by a white male student. Despite being the victim, she faces suspension in a case highlighting systemic racism and administrative negligence.

reverendsteveii ,

y’all ever notice how “zero tolerance” only kicks in once the black girl tries to defend herself? It wasn’t zero tolerance when they were shouting racial slurs at her. That was simply tolerated. It wasn’t zero tolerance when the white boy beat the shit out of her. When she refused to just quietly take the abuse, however, then “we have zero tolerance for hate or violence of any kind and therefore we have no choice but to suspend both students”.

Rights for whites, no slack for blacks.

Maryland roommates claim police detained them at gunpoint for no reason and shot their pet dog: "No remorse" (www.cbsnews.com)

Roommates who sued a Maryland county Monday claim police officers illegally entered their apartment without a warrant, detained them at gunpoint without justification and unnecessarily shot their pet dog, which was left paralyzed and ultimately euthanized....

reverendsteveii ,

These people did nothing wrong and were accosted by armed thugs in their own home. The dog did nothing wrong and was murdered. The taxpayers did nothing wrong and will pay out tons of money to these people. The police, who did everything wrong, will face no repercussions for their actions because qualified immunity dictates that they didn’t necessarily know that holding innocent people at gunpoint violates their rights.

reverendsteveii ,

it does matter though because if the money for paying for damages illegally caused by police comes out of their budget they’ll at least feel that until the next year’s budget kicks in. As-is, police are completely removed from any responsibility for their actions.

reverendsteveii ,

the people paying hush money are usually the good guys

reverendsteveii ,

Never, ever let a cop into your home

they can come back with a warrant or not at all. the police are absolutely not here to help and nothing will be made better by police involvement.

reverendsteveii ,

When police break the law, they should be tried

that would be a hell of a start

We should be way more angry about this than we are.

A lot of time, effort and money is spent convincing people that the police and their abuse are things that only happens to those people.

Fun fact about this blatantly criminal police department, they currently have an officer on trial for murder because he shot a suspect 7 times while that suspect was HANDCUFFED AND IN THE FUCKING POLICE CAR

This incident happened four years ago, and taxpayers who did nothing wrong have already settled with the victim’s family for millions. The judge presiding over the case has openly accused the prosecution of sandbagging the case for four years and rejected a plea deal the prosecution offered the officer because the victim’s family protested that it was too lenient. This man shot and killed a cooperative, restrained suspect and the prosecution is doing everything they can to let him off the hook, down to and including just not having a trial because they think he’ll be convicted. This is what we mean when we say ACAB, that the police engage in blatant, open criminality up to and including murder and then an entire system does everything it can to avoid holding them responsible. Same story with Jackie Johnson, the DA who initially failed to charge the men who murdered Ahmaud Arbery. She’s been charged with misconduct as well, but it’s been years and she’s not even been arraigned. She violated the law and her oath of office in order to cover up a lynching because one of the murderers is an ex-cop and friend of hers, and she’s being protected from the consequences of enabling a lynch mob by a system that knows that the cops are there to use violence to protect aristocrats from the underclass. Same with Freddie Gray. The neighboring police department in Baltimore arrested him for having a knife even though that isn’t illegal, loaded him into a van, then the official story is “no one knows what happened and no one did anything wrong but he died of a broken neck”.

The police are a street gang. They get to use violence any time they want to without responsibility, and in exchange for that they allow the wealthy to occasionally funnel that violence toward inconvenient people. There is no law, only favor and violence.

maaaaaan we taxpayers pony up a lot of money for the privilege of getting fucked over for no reason, huh?

reverendsteveii ,

How much cash? Is it drastically less than the increase in the cost of living since birth rates started to drop? I’ll bet that it’s as little as possible while still technically not being zero, and I’ll bet it’s taxed as earned income.

401k’s are highly vulnerable to stock market crashes

not really. short term investments and speculation are vulnerable to short term market forces, but a 401k that sits for 30 years with regular contributions and profits reinvested is all but guaranteed to make money. Long term investments like that are extremely stable, just put the money in your 401k and don’t look at returns until you’re actually considering retirement.

reverendsteveii ,

40% of their 401k value knocked out

40% of the value before the crash, I assume? In that case, what’s the difference between their contributions and the total value even with that 40% gone? Remember that the real value of an investment is how much money is there now vs how much you put in, not how much money is there at peak value vs how much money is there now.

`//Get CustomerInfo from CustomerRepository by Customer ID or else throw an CustomerNotFoundException

public CustomerInfo getById(String customerId) {


<span style="color:#323232;">return customerRepository.getById(customerId).orElseThrow(new CustomerNotFoundException());

This is the kind of pointless comment I see in my codebase all the time. Best I can tell, a couple of my coworkers like to plan out their code using comments, then backfill in the actual executable code. That’s fine, but they leave the comments in when they add no value.

` public static LocalDate parseEndDateFromString(String dateString) {


<span style="color:#323232;">    try {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        String[] split = dateString.split("-");
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        //In order to get the last day of the desired month, we go to the first day of the next month, account for rollover, then subtract one day
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        int month = Integer.parseInt(split[0]) == 12 ? 1 : Integer.parseInt(split[0]) + 1;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        return LocalDate.of(Integer.parseInt(split[1]), month, 1).minusDays(1);
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    } catch (Exception e) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        throw new RuntimeException("Invalid date format - must be MM-YYYY");
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}`
</span>

Stuff like this, otoh, is where comments are useful. The required format is obvious from the error message, the param and return from the method signature, the only part that requires a comment is the fiddly logic of accounting for the edge case where month == 12 and the rationale behind how we determine the last day of the month. As a rule, comments are for why something is being done, if it’s not obvious, and for magic numbers. Code should tell you what code does.

edit: can anyone spot the bug that I introduced with that parseEndDateFromString() method?

The judge in this case, Bentley Price, has been found to be unqualified by the state bar association. Unfortunately, this doesn’t restrict him from office, where he can continue to let child rapists freely roam the community. This judge also let a murder suspect out on bond who, while awaiting his murder trial, shot a 9 year old. Best I can tell, south carolina doesn’t currently have a way to recall judges who, like Bentley Price, are openly in favor of children being raped and murdered, but this bill looks like it would provide the means of doing so. It hasn’t been updated since 2021.

if congress wanted your testimony do you think that your comfort would be a factor in what they do and how they do it? The law is different for the very rich. It’s aspirational rather than authoritative. “We would really like to comply, but I just don’t think it’s gonna work out.”

I wholeheartedly believe google is breaking the law to maximize profits, but I also feel like this headline is designed to make it seem as though the people suing are just butthurt and that their primary complaint is that they don’t like google personally and feel that their opinion as to whether google is kind and nice should be legally actionable.
