Is a far right rise actually something to be worried about ?
  • Capitalist structures are hierarchical and thus more amenable to fascism than equitable socialist structures, so the idea that "supporting the status quo" will help against a far right rise is laughable.

    What are autistic fixations?
  • A fixation is something I am eager to interact with it a majority of the time, often to the exclusion of other stuff I need or want.

    What operating system and tools should a beginner use to learn programming?
  • You're overthinking this. You can almost always get by with whatever system you already have available, until you get a full job, at which point the job will probably provide you with a machine.

    How do you differentiate a special interest from a passion?
  • A special interest becomes part of my identity, and I am eager to interact with it a majority of the time. A passion does not necessarily meet those criteria.

    need help with some fundamentals of for loops. it looks like im so close to fully grasping grabbing an item out of a list, but not quite. examples below
  • I think you're misunderstanding the insert method. insert keeps everything that was already in the list, including the item at the given index. it just shifts part of it to the right to make room for the thing you're inserting. Directly changing the list using display[position] = letter instead replaces the item at the index with letter.

    Does that make sense?

    Does there exist a factory game or zachlike that's like this?:
  • Shapez looks like it has the same problem as factorio, where expanding outwards is always possible and easier than micro-optimizations. That's not the kind of gameplay I'm looking for.

  • What I'm looking for can really be described as one of the following:

    • Opus Magnum but the reason to optimize is so that I save resources and generate resources faster?
    • Factorio but I can't expand infinitely and have to instead make the factory more efficient rather than just growing exponentially?
    • Compact Claustrophobia but without an infinite number of compact machines?
    • Last Clockwinder but with a much greater focus on planning and less on execution?

    I've never owned a car before in my life. I might need to one soon. Budget is $40k. Here are the things I'm considering:

    • I want to go all-electric
    • Not Tesla because fuck Elon.
    • Requires as little maintenance as possible.
    • Has the lowest environmental impact (both in terms of construction of the vehicle and in terms of energy use) as possible
