Corporate controlled internet spaces are going to be the downfall of our society.
When a fully factual comment stating that violence is sometimes necessary, such as for the American Revolution and World War II, gets you a ban from these corporate communities you KNOW it's a fake sense of community. This is not "inciting violence" Reddit, it's a fact.

I hear what you're saying, but I'm more concerned with being targeted by Trump, his goon squad, or his acolytes either through facial identification, ALPR, fake cell phone towers, etc. to then be harassed or maliciously prosecuted. I've started to carry my US Passport Card in my wallet because I'm expecting Trump's goon squad to start going after citizens next.
I don't have any political stickers on any of my vehicles nor do I have any signs. Better to fly under the radar and quietly protest with my vote than to stick my neck out there just so it can get chopped off.
At least my vote is still anonymous.

These pictures, the work of several different photographers,1 were assembled by a pair of collectors named Henry and Nancy Rosin. They were originally shot in black and white, then hand-coloured by artists — a technique common at the time. All were taken between the years 1860-1900, meaning the earliest of them just predates the Meiji Restoration, when the last shōgun still ruled Japan.

最近、小さなスクリプトを書く際に試しにRBSを書いて、VS Codium（Visual Studio Codeからプロプライエタリーな部分を除いた物）にSteepプラグインを入れて、エディターの支援を受けながら進めるようにしてみている。それで気付いた組み込みクラスなどのRBSシグニチャーの不足があればプルリクエストも送っている。
しばらく書いてきていて思ったのだけど、型に不寛容なメソッドを書くようになってしまいそう。みんながこれに慣れると、文化が変わりそう（これは当たり前だが）。
まず型について、Rubyでは伝統的に「どのメソッドに反応するか」が型とされてきた。数値を扱う work_with_integer_like というメソッドがあったとして、引数の型は「 #to_iに反応するオブジェクト」といったように考えた。そして、メソッドの最初の方で実際に #to_i を呼んで Integer にしてから処理する。
RBSでもこれは表現できて、
interface _ToI
def to_i: () -> Integer
end
def work_with_integer_like: (_ToI) -> void_ToI みたいによく使われる型は、RBS組み込みで定義されている（ interface はRubyの言語構造としては存在しなくて、RBSの物）。勿論、RBSでは「どのクラスのインスタンスか」という型の表現方法も使える。
def work_with_integer: (Integer) -> Integerinterface を定義する必要は無くて、クラスを書くだけ。こちらの方が書くのが簡単なので、RBSが広まると、実装に跳ね返って、こちらの方のメソッド定義が増えるのではないかと思っている。多分「『どのメソッドに反応するか』で型を語る」という（ダックタイピングの）文化と関わってはいるけど、それだけではないまた別の文化として、「引数の型に寛容」ということがあると思っている。ファイルを扱うメソッドがあって、引数でそのファイルを受け取る際に、ファイルパスを表す文字列やオブジェクトでも、開いたファイルオブジェクトでもどちらでも受け取るメソッドは多い。
def work_with_file: (String | Pathname | File | IO | StringIO) -> StringString | Pathname ）かオープン済みのファイル（ File | IO | StringIO ）かを判定して、少し処理を分岐させたりする。余談だけど、パスを表す型 path がRBS組み込みで提供されているのでそれを使える。
interface _ToPath
def to_path: () -> String
end
type string = String | _ToStr
type path = string | _ToPath
def work_with_file: (path | File | IO | StringIO) -> StringFile は IO の子クラスなので、チェックのみを目的とするならまとめてもよい。def work_with_file: (path | IO | StringIO) -> String#read や #write に反応さえしてくれればいいということも多いだろう。これにも _Reader と _Writer が提供されている。interface _Reader
def read: (?int? length, ?string outbuf) -> String?
end
def work_with_file: (path | _Reader) -> String# この時点では何となくファイルパスを受け取ることを考えている
def work_with_file(file)
content = File.read(file)
processed = process(content)
processed
end# ファイルを開いた状態で呼べるようにもできたらいいかなと思い始める
def work_with_file(file)
io = if file.respond_to?(:read)
file
elsif file.respond_to?(:to_path)
File.open(file.to_path)
else
File.open(file.to_s) # 最終的に#to_sを呼ぶので文字列じゃなくても#to_sに反応するなら引数にできる
end
content = io.read
processed = process(content)
processed
endめんどいとどうなるか。やらなくなる。もうこのメソッドの引数はパスだけでいいや、となる。メソッドを書く前に
def work_with_file: (path) -> Stringメソッドの引数を適切な形にするのは、呼び出し側の責務か、呼ばれた側の責務か、というのは昔からある議論だと思うけど、Rubyは呼ばれた側が適切に変換する責務を負うことが多い文化だと思う。けど、それが変わるのではないか。
そして、このことの結果として、ライブラリーなどのユーザー側が、事前に適切な型に（ここではFileからパスに変換）した上でメソッドに渡すという面倒を引き受け……るのではない。いや、そうなるだろうとは思うけど、ユーザー側はこれを面倒だとは思わないと思う。VS Codiumとかで書いていて、メソッドを呼ぶ出す時に引数の方を調べて、適切に変換して渡す、というのが当たり前になって無意識にやるだろう。「はっきり型を調べたわけじゃないけどそれっぽいオブジェクトを渡したら何か動いた」みたいなRubyちょい感動あるあるは無くなる。
そしてどんどん、メソッド定義の際には引数の型は一種類だけ選ぶようになる。 interface 定義の手間があることを考えると、ダックタイピングではなくクラスで型を表現することが増えていくだろうと思う。
RBS（や他の型表現）が広まるかどうかは全然分からない。けど広まった場合はこうなるんだろうなあ、そしておっさんとしては文化が変わることにちょっとした寂しさを覚えるのであった。

Hybristophilia in the UK
Hyristophilia is a psychopathic female trait - a very strong attraction to criminals, including rapists, murderers and even terrorists.
As I've previously documented, all sorts of violent criminals have entire female fan clubs and can get hundreds, if not thousands of love letters.
George Manson got married to one of his "fans".
Many, if not most, female prison guards who want to work with male prisoners are into hybristophilia, which is why women should never be allowed to work as guards with male guards.
Note that the women who are into criminals are often not old or ugly. Quite often, they are very attractive young women.

WE NOW HAVE A WHOLE GENERATION WHICH HAS NEVER KNOWN PEACE...
We have been at war continuously for two decades, and there is no end in sight as we are now on the brink of World War III...does anybody out there remember the talk of the "peace dividend" at the end of the Cold War? We never saw that because without war, a number of huge coprporations would go bankrupt and the loss of "shareholder value" is unacceptable in a society that values the material over the spiritual...and the political class that has grown fat off of corporate lobbyists at the expense of the mom and pop farms and businesses would be facing a true revolution if suddenly there was no "NEED" for maintaining 908 military bases in 153 foreign nations and if all the troops came home, we would rapidly understand just what a "ponzi scheme" today's US economy really is, then every pathological liar and every psychotic murderer in Washington DC would be in mortal danger...the politicians know this and they also know that the debt bomb is ticking and time is running out and the day of reckoning is at hand...this is why the concerted push for gun confiscation and the push for World War III...it is a lonbg known fact, but never taught in schools, the war is the num,ber one way for the corrupt criminal class to rally the masses anround their organized crime scam know as "government"...our government today is controlled by globalist bankers and the military-industrial complex, whose goal is war for profits sake...(read "War is a Racket", by Major General Smedley Butler, USMC Ret.)...and now as the American sheeple are gradually waking up to the reality of what is happening, we are now being considered "the enemy" or "domestic terrorists"...a label, that if the President deems is valid, can and will result in your execution WITH OUT A TRIAL OR RIGHT TO COUNCIL under the NDAA...it is time to wake up to the fact that the top end of both political parties has been infiltrated, that the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is at war with the people of the United States of America...the war was declared in 1984 with the Oliver North's RX84 and the establishment of NORTHCOM, and the first shots were fired on August 22, 1992 at Ruby Ridge, Idaho.
