I don't even think they're doing it to fix the budget, that's just the only palatable way they could think to present cutting education to the masses. The real reason is your second paragraph

I agree except for that last point

77,744 people made Trump a President. The rest of us knew better.

Sorry but that's not how math works. 63 million people made trump president, and only 66 million of us knew better. That huge number of trump voters is the horrible reality of American politics weve had to come to terms with. Luckily some of the trump supporters learned from their mistake, but there's still millions of them out there, not <100k

And even that one original movie is just a bland rehash of previous Pixar movies, I'll take sequels all day if that's what we're getting for originals

Rhetoric like this discourages women from becoming engineers, saying that a female tech lead isn't even a possibility is ~~pretty~~ sexist. For the record, if you had just said "he" without the sassy parenthetical I wouldn't have batted an eye.

*Now that I think about it, pretty sexist is an understatement, it's just plain sexist. Female tech leads exist, look it up, and stop perpetuating sexist ideas in tech

Both! You're probably a lot better than you give yourself credit for but also haven't made enough mistakes yet to see the error of your code

I think I found it, it was actually just a little over a minute long https://youtu.be/syIDpalKzeQ

Some of these definitely aren't trying to be swastikas

Yeah that's what I'm saying, I hate it when coworkers will assign everything as "any" just to avoid the scary red squigglies. Oh well I guess that's what code reviews are for 🙃

Even if they all vote unanimously it still requires several republican votes, which doesn't tend to happen since Republicans thrive on obstruction and inaction

I'm not sure if you're being rhetorical or not, but "string|number" is definitely correct here. A computer could definitely figure this out, but typing is for the benefit of the coders more than the code itself. It's basically functional documentation
