People who jerk it to anime drawings all day love to hate furries so they can distance themselves from something crazier to legitimize their own weird behavior.

Vladimir Putin explains why Russia is bombing Ukraine (2024)
Veganism update: I'm still vegan
This video is illegal in Mother Russia
Fell asleep to Vladimir Putin's voice ranting about Russian history for two hours.
After learning to code, I heard that Object Oriented code was bad. Convinced by the arguments, I moved into functional programming. It blew my mind. It changed the way I write code. But I was still implementing a lot of interfaces. Now more than ever. Because ideally, you can build your software like Lego blocks where pieces of it can be easily switched in and out.
Anyway, I moved back to writing TypeScript again, now with new ideas. Hyper minimalism. TSDocs on every function. Fully tested. At first I avoided using classes. But then I realized they're the best way to implement interfaces. Now everything is about interfaces. What's right is the *separation of concerns*. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
God I hate that people act like Apple just invented VR. The same people freaking out in excitement were acting like they were too good to use a gaming headset 6 years ago. I hate the strangehold Apple has on society and the sheeple who mindlessly consoom it.
