if you don't believe that adding more structure to the absolute maniacal catastrophe that is sql is a good thing then i'm going to start to have doubts about your authenticity as a human being

Primarily0617, to programmer_humor in no.. just no

sql syntax doesn't support even itself correctly i fail to see your point

it's more convenient for me to put a frozen ready meal in the oven for 30 minutes than it is for me to make dinner, even though the act of making dinner might take less than 30 minutes

it might be reliable for running a mainframe, but running a mainframe isn't really what i want to do in my free time

Primarily0617, to memes in But it's all about convenience

yes linux is definitely only "slightly" more convenient than windows, and also definitely more reliable

in unrelated news i'm now into my 5th hour trying to get 2077 to run without freezing, and my system has only hard-crashed about 3 times during the process

sent to jail to stick it to the man 🙄

i don't think "i would like to not be homeless, please" is really "sticking it to the man"

as somebody who is not good at driving i just assumed the anxiety came from the tight turn the car had just made

'twas the night before Christmas
When all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse
Except for a goblin
And that goblin was me
Clad head-toe in lounge-wear
And screeching with glee

I don't really care whose fault it is I just want to play my blideo blames

The werewolf "imprints" on Bella's unborn vampire baby later in the series, so fortunately the scales of creepiness end up balanced between Team Edward and Team Jacob.

In 2015, Stephanie Meyer—the author of Twilight—wrote Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined, which is pretty much the same book and the same plot line save for every character* being gender-swapped. For example, Edward Cullen becomes Edythe Cullen, and Bella Swan becomes Beaufort Swan.

Given how openly and incessantly horny people are about 7ft-tall-uwu-step-on-me-please dommy mommy gfs at the moment, there's clearly a not insignificant segment of the male population for which Life and Death could be enjoyed in much the same way Twilight was by that segment's female mirror back in 2005.

  • The protagonist's parents are the only exception to this, which according to Meyer is due to how rare male parent custody is after a divorce in the US, especially when the book is set.

I read that whole thing waiting for the assuredly sweet action sequence they were hyping up all the way through the book until the end. All that talking about how the vampires use their powers to fight, like how Edythe can read her opponent's mind and react accordingly, or how Archie can predict fragments of the future and use those to his advantage, or about Jessamine's mysterious military training. Then the entire action sequence happens off screen and Beau just wakes up after it's all resolved.

Also, can we talk about how continuously Eleanor gets shat on in the book? She's introduced as the strongest Cullen, only for each subsequent Cullen family member's introduction to explain why Eleanor actually sucks and is useless. She doesn't even get to be the tallest vampire, despite how much hay is made about her intimidating stature. Look Steph: just include some plot point that involves her hucking a truck at someone at some point during the book and we're good.

But honestly having read it yes I now fully understand why Twilight was as popular as it was (is a popular as it is?).

powerful isn't the same as well-structured

it was written to be a language that anybody could read or write as well as english, which just like every other time that's been tried, results in a language that's exactly as anal about grammar as C or Python except now it's impossible to remember what that structure is because adding anything to the language to make that easier is forbidden

when you write a language where its designers were so keen for it to remain human readable that they made deleting all rows in a table the default action, i don't think "well structured" can be used to describe it
