Man I hate it when socialism capitalisms.

You’re the type of person to call folks not getting out of bed because of their depression “just being lazy”

Inb4 “no this is different”

Hahaha you’re literally doing the thing. Good stuff

People still do that?

This is such a dumb argument to make. “Worse problems exist, so let’s not do anything about this one”. Who did you think you’d convince by writing all this out? What a waste of time.

I’m not super sure what “it” refers to, but assuming “it” refers to newly bombing a foreign nation to enact regime change, and not just expanding on or continuing already existing bombing campaigns (which would expand the list to literally every dem president since Eisenhower):

Obama: Libya

Clinton: Yugoslavia

Kennedy: Cuba

Truman: Korea

But some of these are quite far in the past, which other users have suggested makes them invalid examples somehow. Idk. Not sure what the other poster was referring to, but I think this may have been it.

7 when the story happened, tells it 15 years later in 2020, so I’m supposed to believe this guy is 7 - 15 + 2025 - 2020 = -3 today. Something doesn’t check out about this story.

With much love and respect I ask you to please read the remainder of my comments in this thread.

It’s sarcasm yes. I figured dropping a phrase like dicatorship of the proletariat would give up the game (honestly I thought my very first comment in the thread was already laying it on thick), but Poe’s law in action I guess. I do really appreciate you, keep up the good work.

Look, it’s like the scientific method, right? You start with a theory, and then you gather a bunch of data, and the stuff that agrees with your theory you keep, and the stuff that doesn’t you either dismiss outright, or you rationalize. I feel like I really can’t make my position any more obvious than that.

I appreciate your patience and your continued efforts to educate folks on this website, but I think you’re barking up the wrong tree here.

See now there you’ve made a crucial error. You’re recommending a book which, while it has some criticism of the specifics of how the USSR implemented socialism, on the whole it’s quite positive about the idea of establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat in general. Obviously that disagrees with my preconceived notion that humans are greedy, and that therefore capitalism is good, so I would never read a source that contradicts this, because I would have to dismiss most of it outright. And that’s just a hassle.

It’s suspicious because it disagrees with my preconceived notions about communism.

I think this is a good rule of thumb in general. When statistics agree with my preconceived notions, I consider them trustworthy, and if not, I assume that reality lines up with what I expect. For example, the referendum in held in the Baltics about leaving the USSR ended in favor of leaving, which I think is a good example of a trustworthy statistic. But the subsequent referendum in the remaining members ended in favor of staying in the USSR, and I think that’s a little suspicious, don’t you?

Ah thanks, I do have another question actually! So aside from speeding up builds by parallelizing different stages, so that

FROM alpine AS two
RUN sleep 5 && touch /a
FROM alpine AS one
RUN sleep 5 && touch /b
FROM alpine AS three
COPY --from=two /a /a
COPY --from=one /b /b

takes 5 iso 10 seconds, are there any other ways buildkit speeds up builds?

At my previous job, we had a “Devops” team. We even outsourced some ops to a third party in the worst possible way (I’m talking “oh you want to set up an alert for something related to your service? Send us an email and we’ll look into it” and so on). All the pre-devops pain magnified by an order of magnitude. Sometimes devs would do their own ops (I know, big shock!), and they would call it “shadow devops”. Nearly fell off my chair when I first heard it. Kinda glad I’m not with them anymore.

Is there more to it than using multistage builds when appropriate?

No one is immune to propaganda

Fair, taking it off the list. It just comes up naturally when I list the horrible things the US has done bc of the highway of death. Still an example of the US military not defending the US, but definitely not an invasion of Kuwait. Thanks for the correction, I was sloppy!

When has the US military defended the nation? I got the impression that they’re mostly used for invading foreign countries for financial gain, cf Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Yugoslavia, Sudan, Panama, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Cuba, Guatemala, Korea.
