    Fun fact about Italian politics: in the Veneto region (where Venice is) the governor for the past 4 years was a super right wing guy (Zaia) that always won elections with like 90% in favour.

    During his last term at some point he vouched in favour of opening a new sex change clinic in the region, bringing forth a lot of criticism from the right and his party. But this guy has a degree in agricultural science, and at a Press conference he started an argument about biology and how sex is not always a clear cut and things aren’t that simple in the real world.

    Then everyone started joking about how maybe he was about to come out as leftist, and he had to clarify “no guys, I’m not leftist, I just need to take care of everyone’s rights, I’m everyone’s governor, independently of gender or sexual identity”. Bear in mind that this is all coming from a guy that during the COVID pandemic said on live TV “of course it was the Chinese, we all saw them eating live rats” (direct quote, translated).

    Anyway it was funny. The leader of his party (Salvini) instead said “I think they shouldn’t approve it, I for one will never need it” and the joke was that if he became governor and you got breast cancer that’s tough luck for you because Salvini will never need breast surgery.

    Who would buy a transphobic Christmas card? Even if you are a conservative, what’s the point of a transphobic Christmas card, what does it have to do with festivity? Like, you gift it to friends and family and they go “oooooh, this is so hateful! merry Christmas!”





  • The implementation is not very exciting, I capture a variable in python. It could have been done more cleanly.

    1000041934

    The proof is this. But, I could have made mistakes, it was many years ago.

    1000041935

    Note that in python you’ll never be able to run is_even(5) the stack cannot handle it

    Edit: daaaamn, that variable is ugly as hell. I would never do things like that now.

    Wouldn’t it be cool tho? You could go up to a tree that’s super old and ask it about the world, and it would take an entire day to spell a word in a language you don’t understand. And house plants would be chit chatting and making all kinds of noise inaudible to us, kinda like WiFi, but with sound instead of light. It’s like a fantasy setting
