I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

Yup, it’s definitely just some religious dogma going on there.

You think it’s a good career choice to conform and never question anything so you wind up being indistinguishable from an LLM? Ok, good luck!

I know that you think there are good people in an ideology that rationalizes hatred towards Jews.

Thanks for proving that you’re in a hate group.

The intention of foreign interference campaigns is to create unrest and distrust of institutions in the target country.

The intention is to divide the people so that powers-that-be hoodwink us while stealing from our pockets.

Ah so you’re doing that too.

So… what is your country of origin?

A constant inside a function is not constant to the computer. It’s only constant within the scope of the function. So it’s not constant to the computer since every time the function is called the “constant” will have a different value.

Do you even know what a real constant is?

You maybe need to rethink some things.

I know how common it is for antisemites to use find and replace “Jews” for “Israelis” on the hateful conspircay theories they wrote decades ago. And I know how common it is for people to just lap that shit up now.

I’m questioning why things are being done in the way they’re being done and you’re saying I’m being close minded? Also spewing out some more jargon like that’s going to impress me?

And LOL at “it will feel natural after you get used to it.” I don’t think you understand the concept about something feeling natural. Like I say I just make stuff const because someone put some bullshit in the linter. Enforcing dumb rules in a linter is the opposite of keeping an open mind, it forcing preferences on people.

I think I’ve confirmed it’s just FE religious dogma. Just keep on repeating whatever Theo says and people will think you know what you’re talking about.

My grandfather actually prevented Nazis from getting shot. They had surrendered and some others wanted to shoot them anyway. By preventing some Nazis from getting shot, my grandfather prevented a war crime from happening.

I’m not so naive as to believe it went this way everywhere during the war. In fact I know a guy from my home town who killed a civilian in Italy for no reason. Just an old guy walking down the road killed for no reason. There was no court martial, he just got chewed out by his CO and they moved on. So there was a war criminal living my home town. The other old fellas never talked to home but most people didn’t know anything about what he did in the war.

So I understand that not everyone that fought in WWII (the “good” war) were good people. There were many war criminals on the allied side, we just don’t talk about it much. But my grandfather was a good man for preventing those soldiers from being executed. I felt like I owed it to him to learn about why Germany gave into the Nazis.

I’m seeing the people go down that same path today. The same rationalizations for antisemitism the Nazis used are being used again. It’s shameful that the younger generation can’t pick up a history book and see the mistakes they’re making. Why would you want to be the antisemitic generation?

I’ve also looked at the photos of German cities at the end of the War. They’re the same as photos of Gaza today. This is what hatred leads to. The German people were able to move past the cycle of hatred and become a prosperous country.

Right here I’m not seeing people wanting to move past their hatred and build something better. It seems people don’t want to build a prosperous Palestinian state, they just want to stay in a cycle of hatred and violence forever.

You may feel like reconciling with Israelis is weak, but the alternative is another war like the one we just witnessed happening again. Is that what you want? The real weakness is wanting more Palestinians to die for the sake of some manufactured hatred of Jews.

There is no proof that the Israelis in the article committed war crimes.

So you’ve already crossed a line by assuming all soldiers in the IDF are war criminals, and since military service is compulsory in Israel, pretty much all Israelis have served in the IDF at some time in their lives. So you’ve rationalized that all Israelis are war criminals, so that’s 30% of all Jews are war criminals.

Maybe in your little bubble these rationalizations about 30% of all Jews being war criminals is somehow distinguishable from antisemitism. But in the real world, making rationalizations about Jews being evil is called antisemitism.

Do you know how common it is for racists to say “I’m not racist you’re being racist”?

There wouldn’t need to be a Jewish state if Jews were guaranteed entry into Canada and safety while here.

Right now there are calls to ban Jews from entry into Canada.

It’s not because of people like me there needs to be a Jewish state. It’s because of people like you.

We’ve had to pass laws to prevent the “free Palestine” crowd from harassing Canadian Jews at synagogues. If that crowd had their way, Jews would not be welcome in Canada even if they were born here.

You want to pretend you’re not a part of an antisemitic movement so much that you turn a blind eye to the rampant antisemitism embedded within it. These calls for refusing Israelis entry into Canada is from that part of your movement.

Please read the story of the the MS St. Louis… the Voyage of the Damned.

Canada was one of the countries that refused to allow Jews to enter the country. Now people want us to be that way again. That’s the reason why a Jewish state has to exist.

History doesn’t repeat, but it sure does rhyme. It’s a sad state of affairs that the younger generation is falling for the same antisemitic bullshit people fell for a hundred years ago, but here we are.

I wish we lived in a world where a Jewish state isn’t necessary, but it’s necessary because of people rationalizing why it’s a good thing to refuse Jews entry into the country. There needs to be at least one country in the world that won’t refuse Jews entry. The only guarantee that there will be at least one country in the world that won’t refuse the entry of Jews in times of antisemitism (In case you didn’t notice, we’re in one of those times right now) is if there’s a Jewish state.

Yes it’s embarrassing to humanity that we can’t shake the whole antisemitism thing which necessitates a Jewish state. But humanity sucks and it’s the only way for it to be guaranteed there is a safe place for Jews in times like this is for there to be a Jewish state.

So only “the good ones” are allowed?

This is typical of the way racists think,.

Stylistically, you’re changing the array when you add something to it. Javascript is a janky language in the best of times, but FE devs like to artificially introduce additional unnecessary complexities on top of the jank.

const is simpler. why would I declare an array as let if I’m not reassigning?

Why would you declare a const that’s going to have different data every time to function is called?

Now I’m thinking it’s a form of gatekeeping. Just an excuse for FE devs to throw out terms like “immutable” to make it sound like they know what they’re taking about. Y’all need to constantly sound like you know what you’re talking about when dealing with users, pretending weird stylistic choices have real technical reasons for them. But the BE devs know what you’re saying is complete bullshit LOL.

Please try to make sure your arguments are based on facts and not your logical falacies.

Back at you. Have these soldiers been caught on camera doing anything illegal? Our society is base on the ideal of innocent until proven guilty. The call is for Israelis to be assumed guilty until proven innocent. We don’t treat people from other countries that way.

Would you think it’s acceptable to treat people coming from Sudan this way? Why not?

It’s obvious to anyone outside your little bubble the discrepancies between how you want Israelis treated and how you want people from other countries treated is because of ethnicity. You want a racist immigration policies, but have rationalized in your mind why that’s acceptable. The same rationalizations that all racists use.

Pushing something onto an array isn’t changing the array? It’s not changing the reference to the array, but from a style standpoint it doesn’t make sense.

And if you’re declaring a const within the scope of a function, it’s still allocating memory when it enters the scope and disposing it when it leaves the scope, same as a variable. There’s no performance benefit to do this.

Something like const CONSTANT_VALUE = “This never changes” has a performance benefit and is actually how other languages use constants. The value will always be the same, the compiler understands this and can optimize accordingly. If you’re declaring an iterator or the result of calling a webservice to be const it’ll be a different value every time it runs that code, so it’s not something a compiler can optimize. In style terms, it’s a value that’s different every time you get to that line of code, so why would you want to call it constant?

You’re comment indicates the FE dev obsession with always using const stems from a misunderstanding of how computers work. But of course many religious beliefs originate from a misunderstanding of the world. Whatever man, I just make it a const to make the linter happy, because it’s dumb FE bullshit LOL.

Dude, we gotta live in a society and we have to have a government. It seems it doesn’t matter what the government does (Mandani isn’t even mayor yet) you just want to be a rebel without a clue. You’ve probably lived a life of privilege so you don’t need to worry about real world problems.

Whatever, you do you. But for us peasants that actually need a government, Mandani isn’t in the wrong for not burning everything down.

Canada is a free country, and the definition of “IDF soldier” could include pretty much every Israeli given that military service is compulsory there.

The whole reason there needs to be a Jewish state is because there have been times in the past when Jews were not allowed into countries because of antisemitism. So congratulations, you’ve only justified the existence of Israel through your racist actions.

Read the story of the MS St. Louis, the Voyage of the Damned. It’s a mark of shame that Canada was one of the countries that turned away Jewish refugees, most of whom were later killed in the holocaust.

Once again, antisemitism has become popular and racists are pushing for Canada to go back to this shameful kind of behavior.

Jews are welcome in Canada and fuck you if you think otherwise. We aren’t some authoritarian country that rejects entry based on racism.
