So your use cases for regex are when you’re not going to actually fix the problem that caused you to need regex?

I’m saying if your use case makes regex the best option, you’ve gone the wrong way and should turn back. There are definitely corners you can paint yourself into that make it the way to go, but you’ve ended up there through a series of bad ideas.

Turns out the million hours of coding put into SQL, makes it a better option than regex, even for xml based files.

If you’re needing that level of complexity in a text file search, you already fucked up by putting the data in a text file. There’s a reason data file formats exist.

Never debug regex, just generate a new one. It’s not worth the hassle to figure out not only what it does, but what it was meant to do.

Better yet, just write it out in code, and never use regex. Tis a stupid thing that never should have been made.

They could easily move at least a thousand Danes to Florida just by flying in commercial around the country, use private planes to bring in arms, and have the forces needed to seize the governors office and Mar a Lago faster than any resistance could be mounted.

Exfil to local air field, marinas and highways simultaneously with waiting dummy vehicles, some rigged to combust, others just uninvolved duplicates. Meanwhile actually just move them a concrete room under a mall with lots of traffic.

Or, whatever, just spitballing ideas.

I still think Ilhan should sue Musk for slander. At least 100mil in damages.

Hurting families is the purpose. They need horror to fuel their calls for martial law.

You mean like the president giving pardons to cop killers?

McAfee was a solid product in the beginning, it turned to crap after it’s admittedly crazy founder sold it off.

She’ll do what the oil companies tell her to, and they’ll tell her to shut up, when they see the tax discounts it would earn them.

In the end it’s all about the dollars, who has them, and who’s willing to spend them.

Shut off oil exports to the US and send them to the EU instead.

Although my bet is it would take less than 2 months of just shutting them off to change any policy.

I see one of the right wing “Men’s Rights” advocates has escaped their programming center.

It’s all well and good to be offended by this trash, but consider that it’s being intentionally targeted to young men as a way to create loyal followers for political violence. The fascists these days aren’t going to wear brown shirts, they’re going to have a whole range of color choices.

Bigotry and racism do come in multiple flavors.

If you don’t let them speak up, how are we going to find the racists? They’re all old so it’s not like they just suddenly appeared when Obama was elected. They’ve been hiding and hidden. Bring the assholes into the light, and let’s get out the dildo of consequence.

He’ll bring peace if he has to kill every man, woman, and child to get it.

Or something along those lines I assume.

The counter to this are the strongly patriarchal countries around the world having the exact same problems as the western world. Cost of living problems are a population growth problem, that humanity has done an amazingly shit job of dealing with.

Consider that there hasn’t been a shortage of food for humans on Earth for over 500 years. And yet, starvation and famine have very much been a thing. Not because there wasn’t food, but because the food that existed was restricted to some populations, usually intentionally. Resource restriction is just another tool for authoritarians. From companies taking away health care, to trade embargoes, to wiping out the buffalo. Starving your opponent has always been a viable strategy.

Stopping a system from starving you of resources has always been a problem too. That’s why it works.

You know a good union would prevent this kind of thing.

It would take years for new mining to begin to come on line. No one takes that risk based on the short term of a single presidential term.

If he’s using AI scraping, we should set up bots that invent other Trump family members as orangutans. Also label all cat and dog photos as the opposite. All insect pictures labeled as republican or conservative.
