Reading psych studies on people who have authoritarian beliefs is eye opening. Here's a study (pdf) that found authoritarians will seek out media that confirms their biases when scared. The "when scared" is important. Participants that weren't scared showed no difference to non-authoritarians. The authors suggested that authoritarians will seek out confirmation of their beliefs as a mechanism of dealing with fear.

Trump rambles like an insane asylum resident literally every day and nobody bats an eye

You're posting under a meme literally mocking Trump for rambling like an insane asylum resident. He's been ordered by courts to pay $83.3 million for shit he has said and is actively being procecuted for other things. You don't notice it anymore because Trump has been criticized daily for the last decade, whereas calls for Biden to step down are new, because he only recently started acting senile.

Seems like it should be really easy to find a democrate candidate who is both better than Biden and not a Nazi.

Good on First Nations for not forgetting Poilievre has spent most of his career saying Canada should stop giving them money or they won't get jobs. If only the rest of Canada still remembered all the shit he said back when he was Harper's puppy.

"My view is that we need to engender the values of hard work and independence and self-reliance. That's the solution in the long run — more money will not solve it," Poilievre said.

I played flash games as a kid on Newgrounds. There was an option to submit your own flash games and that made me curious as to how they were made. I searched tutorials on how to make flash games and that was my start.

Eventually I got interested in making programs outside of Flash. Still being a kid, I wanted to be the coolest programmer/hacker ever so I learned C (the only language hackers use) and intalled linux (the OS for hackers). I mostly use Python now since I can get projects done much faster.

It doesn't matter what language you start with. Just learn the core concepts around loops, if statements, data types, data structures, object-oriented programing vs functional programming. Those concepts span across all languages and once you know them you can just google "how to splice string in (language here)" when you're using a different language. C is great if you also want to learn how computers manage data and how data structures work from first principles, since in C you need to manage memory yourself and it doesn't come with any advanced data structures built in so you'll need to implement them yourself.

I now mostly use my programming knowledge for hobby stuff. I automate tasks, do programming challenges, and mod games.
