i agree mostly with you, even thought i'm a foreigner. i'd just like to point out that even though there are doubts about trump continuing america's support of a genocide (and i believe he won't have that much of a problem since both major parties in america support it), there's everything else about him.

and also, everything else about the dems too. let's just say that major lawfare campaigns against progressive governments here in latin america have been conducted under dem rule in the u.s.. brazil and uruguay had their coups d'état orchestrated by the johnson administration. honduras, paraguay and brazil suffered lawfare coups under the obama administration.

there are a number of countries that are neutral and unlikely to sanction anyone else, though one might argue about their democratic credentials, with a minor or major stretch. brazil, mexico, chile, colombia, costa rica, uruguay (just to name a few in latin america), andorra, malta, san marino, india, south africa...

the point that really got me was "I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression?".

in the end, it's nato-stan all day long. tired of this.

I don't think there's anything that I eat that couldn't be served to anyone else. Even some particularly Brazilian dishes, such as cooked cassava or corn couscous with milk and butter are pretty much vanilla compared to some other local dishes which I dread - such as buchada (a brazilian haggis, made with rice and goat offals), sarapatel (just the cooked goat offals) or chouriço doce (a reduction of sugar, spices and pig blood).

this. the west is not all chrome and shiny (heh), it jsut oursources its violence to its poorer lackeys.

And every time an actual leftist party succeeds, our media basically unite against it while pretending to accept them.

you're having it so good. here in the periphery of the capitalism we are just putsched whenever a marginally leftist party gets elected, with active help from the department of state.

surely having a low self-esteem is worse. life goes on. why bother over that one single log when you've got all the forest to explore?

good take. the shift began at a point where not only work became more deregulated, but women were pressed to work out of home and accumulate both their jobs and the function of homemaker. you start to fight more for your rights, and men start to believe the neocon "rights for men" mumbo-jumbo.

ogg vorbis, already mentioned above.

 

I'm in the course of pursuing a change in my career towards software engineering/architecture. So far I've been brought mostly to C#/.NET and Java, though Java attracts me more, even considering that it might be a "dying" language. Still, Scala and Clojure are there, so I thought that they might give a pump at least to JVMs. In your opinion, should I invest in pursuing certifications/jobs in this field, or sticking to C#/.NET is a better path?

 

New language promises to reduce compilation times by using all threads and gpu cores available on your machine. What's your opinions on it so far?
