Ah yes, let me just boycott my health insurance provider. Since it’s provided through my work, it’s real easy and convenient (not to mention cheap!) to switch to a different provider. And as for socialized medicine I’m sure Congress will get right on that, just as soon as the Democrats have a majority in the Senate. What’s that? They already had that and they sat with their thumbs in their asses not passing any laws because of something something bipartisanship? No matter, I’m sure it’s fine. If we put them in charge again I’m sure things will be different! We just need to vote!

on the plus side, i now know that if a climate disaster doesn’t do me in, the french revolution 2 electric boogaloo will

No, the company used “appoint some other asshat to do the exact same shit” (or if they hasn’t yet they soon will)

You keep using that word.

I do not think it means what you think it means.

The more-or-less stated goal of the second amendment is that the people have the tools needed to overthrow the government if they need to.

You and the guy you’re replying to

you have more respect for literal farm animals. ergo you do not see him as human.

What did he deserve, then?

Yeah, people actually doing what the second amendment was explicitly written to allow them to do looks like, uhhh… January 6, 2021.

nah, that’s code that does something slightly different every time you run it. that’s a different beast.

ah sweet, code that does something slightly different every time i compile it

It never pays to assume, especially not horseshit like that.

We can have a separate discussion about why talking about prostitutes with anything less than respect is not okay.

americans: “yeah so life sucks over here”
europeans: “lmfao rip bozo holy hell am i glad i’m not you”

your drug dealer wants to lower your debt in exchange for fixing their PC? HELL NO!!!

HAHAAA YOU FOOL YOU HAVE ACTIVATED MY INFODUMP I AM AN UNSKIPPABLE CUTSCENE

Because to a certain extent Python is duck typed. Python has no concept of interfaces, unless you count the abc module combined with manual isinstance() checks, which I’ve never seen anyone do in production. In order to be passed to some function that expects a “file-like object”, it just has to have methods named read(), seek(), and possibly isatty(). The Python philosophy, at least as I see it, is “as long as it has methods named walk() and quack(), it’s close enough to a duck for me to treat it as one”.

Duck typing is distinct from weak type systems, though.

For the last time, Python is not weakly typed. It is dynamically typed. The statement 5 + "hello" results in a type error. Bash is weakly typed, and that same addition results in 5hello
