    What’s up with people expecting the government to issue a licenses for explicit constitutional rights?

    Oy! Where’s your permit to peaceably assemble?
    Hope you gotta a loisence for that news paper!
    Let’s see some ID before you vote.
    Oh you don’t want your home to be a barracks? Hope you paid the appropriate fees and filled out the forms.

    Pure liberalism.



  • No idea about the raw idealized intelligence. However one of the biggest advantages humans have as far as societal living and advancement is language, both spoken AND written. Spoken languages are fairly niche amongst species of the world though there is evidence of many mammalian species that have at least the basics of it.

    However written language is unique to humans. That alone regardless of any other measurable aspect of “intelligence,” has placed human society firmly at the top of the earthly animal kingdom.






  • I “understood” on a basic level what pointers were when i was first learning programing as a 12-13year old. But I never understood HOW to use them, or manipulate them, or what functions you use to interact with them, or how to examine them, or how to declare them, etc etc. And since I was young I never got the opportunity to take an actual programming class that taught any of that throughout high school. By the time I got to college I went with Electrical Engineering instead of computer science and so my journey with pointers ended.

    Now I do python and never have to think about pointers.
