Venezuela has the “dirtiest oil in the world.”

Good!

Artificial scarcity was always dumb as fuck.

Sad watching useful idiots living vicariously through business leaders.

Goes hand in hand with: “It’s easier to fool a man than to convince him he’d been fooled.” - Mark Twain

The powers that b know how to take advantage of human psychology. They have people working around the clock figuring out ways to further exploit it.

Imagine all the houses we could build with the money we spend on bombs.

The housing crisis could’ve been solved several times over.

Move slow and fix things.

It’s very easy to

Sigh. This is what makes you people bad designers.

Probably getting downvoted by fanboys.

Ugh. Why can’t designers recognize they don’t need to do things different just for the sake of being different?

I guess it’s what makes them bad designers.

Yeah. Viral marketing is real but people never seem to be able to identify it.

Are people allowed to leave Iran?

We weren’t talking about what is legal.

I’m going to ignore you now. You people are insufferable.

The hell? You’re the one who was saying “it’s always men,” then when presented with evidence to the contrary, you scream “whataboutism”?

You’re not helping your cause here, bud.

That’s slavery.

This meme about prison being for “rehabilitation” needs to go the way of the dodo.

Life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, kids. Sometimes the only way to stop somebody from doing something bad is to threaten them with, gasp, a punishment.

Sad this needs to be spelled out for most of you, but it really puts into perspective the kind of person that frequents these forums.

I’m just glad most of you don’t have a greater impact on the world.

Bless you for doing god’s work. We need more GUI developers and a better ecosystem as a whole.

That said, it’s pretty shite right now. Your established options are GTK and Qt. Qt uses C++ and I believe GTK uses C. I’ve only really looked briefly into Qt development, and it looks like there are bindings to Rust.

That said, I’m a firm believer that doing GUIs through code is an inefficient, cumbersome, and antiquated process that should be replaced with more visual alternatives, like we see in Godot Engine.

Blech. I’d downvote this because I disagree with their decision, but I’m glad you brought this to our attention.

No, you’re the one definitely fanboying. You’re upset that someone is recommending a product from a company you’re not loyal to, so you will never stop responding until you have the last word.

If you can find a comparable laptop to what I linked for a similar or cheaper price, great. Link it. Otherwise you’re just fanboying while pretending you’re not.

If your next reply isn’t a link to a comparable laptop or an apology, I’m just going to ignore you.

Arguing with you people gets tiresome and it’s up to rational adults to see you for what you are.

Get the best product for the cheapest price.

Don’t be a fanboy.

There could be some poor inner-city child that studies at libraries to get away from their home life and ends up joining the MIC or becoming an investment banker.

Maybe I really am chronically online

Perhaps. It is kind of nice to know that a lot of the drivel we read on these forums doesn’t necessarily translate to how people behave in the real world.

I’ve gotten way better at identifying users whose brains are “shot” from spending too much time on social media. At some point, I’ve realized I may as well not be discussing with a human; they’re walking memes.
