      >as clean air or safe roads Its really on the nose when these two examples has been anything but fundamental. There are many people out there that don't believe these things are worth working towards. In lieu of a thorough argument I'll post this old clip: this video

    2. @connicpuFeb 2025· in “NASA has a list of 10 rules for software development”

      I'm reminded of a clip that went viral a couple years ago with footage from the 80s containing people describing the recent expansion of DUI laws as "Communist"[1] [1]: this video
