PHP is probably a fine language, my issue is I suffered dealing with so many shitty applications written in php when I was still coming up through the ranks of IT.
God the number of broken WordPress installs and shitty WordPress plugins.
I too would vote for that
So that’s from the new testament which is all Christian stuff.
He ain’t our king. Homeboy did not meet all of the criteria for him to be the Jewish Messiah, his followers conveniently ignored that.
Nifty!
Thank you for the history lesson I actually had no idea that’s how that all went down.
Mmm that’s a pretty fair point. Even back then being the President that ended a war only got you so much political good will in the States. Not sure how it worked for Churchill.
I kinda wonder what if any good solutions there were for this. Doing the moral thing but losing your job doing it and potentially seeing the work you did undone by your successor would suck hella bad.
Well thank you for indulging my questions this has been really fun chatting with you!
I’m aware of this fact. thanks.
It won’t solve the problems of today but sometimes it can be interesting to see what people of today think for problems and crisises of yesterday. I was in model UN and that was a fairly frequent conference idea.
I also enjoy talking to people because it’s easy for us to say “that’s a colonialist action” and even though it’s true the question becomes (for me) ‘alright how could we have done better’ and discussing that thought experiment
and I appreciate the call-out, I definitely didn’t assume you were calling me one.
Maybe for a better question we ask “what could I have done as Winston Churchill or (I think it was) Truman.” While they were singular people they did give the diplomats their marching orders when it came to the peace resolutions.
Bit of an idealistic answer but I like it.
Points for consideration, there were a handful of ships full of Jews during WW2 seeking asylum. It’s widely believed that world leaders knew of or suspected that the Holocaust was murdering Jews around the time those boats were rejected for asylum.
Additionally, even after people knew the details of the Holocaust people still didn’t really like Jews.
how would you account for those points?
also thank you for engaging with me on this. I’m genuinely enjoying our conversation!
That’s a fair take, put yourself in that timeframe. WW2 just ended, you’re one of the world leaders and you learned all about the “final solution”.
what do you do? how do you prevent another genocide of the Jews?
That really helps explain the context for one of my favorite PHP bashes ever.

It’s a great read but it should be noted that the post was written in 2012 and considered under such a context.
