Every language in which you can say the compiler/runtime - just trust me bro I know what I am doing will devolve into just trust me bro language. This is why you don't have trust me bro sections. So it may be me - but I never really understood the point of Rust. As in why it exists. To me it seems that it combines the clumsiness of golang with the unsafety of C.
Btw - both C and C++ are quite memory safe if you don't try to be clever.

Shawarma/pizza stand. Both are extremely easy to make, the general quality is shit - so you will be hard pressed to achieve being worse than average, always in demand.

There's a reason all this "firing" people for saying bad things stuff seems to be localized to the US (on both sides of the aisle).
Yeah, in Europe we just arrest them.
And why is not the following scenario pictured - China invades Taiwan and USA shrugs. China doesn't seem to be too keen on military domination of the eight dash line, you have both okinawan and phillipino islands a stone toss away - you can contain them just as good there. There is no domino theory like in Vietnam. Does this island is worth so much USA blood? During the cold war the USA was scared by mostly by USSR ideology, not by their expansionism. There is no ideological difference this time. CCP are more laises faire capitalistic than all the other big players.

Except the irredentist country is not in any kind of war with Europe. But yeah - just steal them. Because this is in no way legal. There is no economic emergency. There will never be economic emergency.
But this is what happens when you have diversity hires in top EU positions.

And the winner of the 2025 mental gymnastics olympics is EU
The EU’s ambassadors handed emergency powers to the European Commission to keep €210 billion in Russian state assets blocked until the Kremlin pays post-war reparations to Ukraine, the Danish Council presidency announced on Thursday.
The EU’s new emergency powers will remain in place until “Russia ceases its war of aggression against Ukraine, and provides reparations to Ukraine,” according to a legal text, seen by POLITICO, that was backed by the EU’s 27 ambassadors on Thursday afternoon.
Kremlin-friendly countries are thereby set to lose their power to release the sanctioned money simply by voting "no" on sanctions renewal. Were that to happen after the EU provided an assets-backed loan to Kyiv, the EU's 27 capitals would be on the hook to repay the loan to Russia.
The EU justified the seismic legal change on the grounds that handing back the assets to Russia would wreak havoc on the EU economy — and potentially fuel hybrid attacks by the Kremlin across the bloc.
Keeping the assets frozen “is a measure that is appropriate in order to avoid further repercussions of unprecedented magnitude on the economic situation of the Union caused by Russia’s actions,” the Commission wrote in the legal text.
So to explain - EU breaking the law will cause economical damage to EU, which is emergency, so we need to further break the current laws to prevent them. The idea of just not doing the initial breaking of the law hasn't come to their tiny minds.

Lived experience
Bangalore - the road turns into dirt road to cross a creek
Bangalore - next to the creek there is a holy cow in such a pathetic state that you want to euthanize the poor animal
Bangalore - in the same creek a person is shitting in the creek, a person 10 meter downstream is washing his face
Bangalore - it stinks everywhere
Bangalore - our parktronic is beeping constantly because we move so slow that the poor car is thinking we are parking and there is a torrent of scooters passing by
Bangalore - no one even admits that such things as traffic laws even exist
Bangalore - when you go to the toilet in the business center you take a pee. After flushing the water color doesn't change
Bangalore - where the water bottles have warning - please crush before throwing.
Bangalore - where the contractor team is giving us a solution to the problem that is so offensively unworkable and stupid that it is literally insulting our intelligence
And from what I have heard Bengaluru is among the better parts of india on any metric.
I can tell similar stories about Pakistan (like the guy that took a shit on the street next to the fucking Centaurus Mall) and Bangladesh too.
London - just the night before the demo the Indian subcontractor living in Zurich arrives and the demo is not even started to be implemented. We ask why - well what do you expect for X pounds? But you said X pounds - well you wouldn't have given me the project otherwise.
UK - where every eastern european I know comes home to get medical treatment (and our healthcare is on the bad side), than take a chance with subcontinent personnel filled NHS
Bangladesh, Pakistan and India are the places where any person even with tiniest authority I have met is treating everyone above them with daily rimjob (figuratively, I hope) and everyone below them as subhuman cattle Eastern Europe - where the second generation Pakistani medical students from UK are mostly know for their willingness to bribe on any exam than study. Yeah - honest advice - if you need to ever be treated by brown skinned doctor that got its diploma in Eastern Europe - just run away.
The subcontinent has some serious cultural issues that will prevent it from becoming the next china. Being poor and being a shithole are different things - India will stop being poor eventually. But being a shithole is choice.
There seems to be only two ways to make sure Indians don't enshittify your country - highly selective with human rights or mass migration under the heavy yoke - like in the gulf.
Do I want to say that all of India is terrible and so are the people there - no - I haven't traveled there too much. And well - in a nation of 1.5B - there will be a lot of decent people. Probably more than all the whites combined. But I am absolutely certain that separating the good from the bad is not worth the effort for mass influx of Indians.

Central planning is terrible.
This could be read as sarcasm, since the only good Greenpeace are for is being used as human shields in mass shooting scenario.

That producers of stuff that is packaged in tubes - like toothpaste make it on purpose to throw their product away. I am fairly sure that most tubes are thrown probably with 30+ percent of their content. Even with dedicated squeezer - When i opened one with a knife I was able to coax 5-6 ml more.

What exactly was dumb about Peak Oil? The EROI of the oil industry has gone down steadily - all kinds of energy are more expensive nowadays, and when it comes for the global energy mix we are probably running in the teens. And for good development you need 20-30.

Or the worst of the worst: street smarts, common sense.
I don't know man. I have always spent majority of my time among high and above high intelligence people (or at least people doing well in fields that put serious cognitive load on the person) - and some of them quite easily fall for scams, cons, ideologies, mlm or flat out inability at a glance to figure out some danger.
There is some naivety in some people that the life must beat out of them and for a lot of people of the scholarly kind due to variety of reasons it comes late.
Is the response to that calling them terrorists and murdering them anyway?
Yes please. I think that due process should only be reserved for citizens and people in US legally.

The level of disrespect they show towards not only other people but also other things means a lot of the time I'm interacting with (especially lower class) people I'm subconsiously thinking "didn't your parents teach you any better?"
Can you give examples? What does lower classes disrespect so much?

Add young to the search. She was a hottie in her 30-s or in Pushing Daisies.

Hmm... you stumbled right into the girlboss trope. And the Matrix is not suitable for one reason only (and the same reason Mulan is not a girl boss) - Neo didn't make the jump on the first try. The girlboss for boys was Wanted. You are super assassin and get to fuck angelina jolie, just because of your genes - no effort required.

Can anyone explain the appeal of the play Wicked to me?
For me - Kristin Chenoweth's breasts - they are/were up there with Sydney Sweeny, Alexandra Daddario and Eva Green's ...
To have a 100000$ salary (more than 1M yearly in today money) during the sexual revolution, after the pill and before aids and obesity epidemic ... yeah take away the iphone and doordash.

During the pandemic there was such beast as asymptotic covid ... for those obtuse enough to be healthy.
That is actually a great way to reduce migration trough the land borders of Europe. Bulgaria Turkey and western balkan ways could be shut down.
