not that you should be copy pasting any significanct amount of code, but at least when you do you’re required to understand it enough to fit it into your program. LLMs just straight up camouflage the shit code by putting something that already fits and has no squiggly red lines beneath. Many people probably don’t bother reading it at that point.

Some shows I really enjoyed in recent years:

• Arcane (amazing animation, world, and story - you don’t need to know anything about the game to enjoy it)
• Peaky Blinders (it’s finished and so good throughout)
• Travelers (also finished, extremely underrated)
• The Expanse (6 seasons of some of the best sci-fi ever)
• Stranger Things (ongoing but highly recommend)
• Beef (limited series so finished, so good)
• The Bear (very good, raw characters and emotions)
• Ted Lasso (no need to care for football, just extremely lovable characters and heartwarming story)
• Breaking Bad (if you haven’t watched this, it’s a must - best TV imo)
• The Last of Us (no need to know the game)
• Andor (best star wars since the original trilogy, mature, dark, and suspenseful)

They’re in no particular order, and I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot, but I definitely think all of the above are must watch.

I’m sorry but there’s just no way that anecdote is true. I refuse to believe it.

Those are two different things. One is acknowledging uncontrolled inmigration is a negative thing for a country. The other one is not giving a shit because it’s more important to help people fleeing life threatening situations, even at the expense of one’s own privileged quality of life. At this point it’s important to note that rich countries’ quality of life is only made possible by unfair distribution of planetary resources and human exploitation of the same people being denied entry.

People have different ideals. For some, a more fair distribution of resources is more important than rich fucks remaining rich fucks. Btw, any problem immigrants may cause is already being caused 1000x over by the absurdly rich.

I think the downvotes are for the other opinions. Nobody denies that inmigration for the sake of inmigration is damaging for a country.

Well, can you tell me why it would be a good thing?

This would only deter people who would otherwise plan a child. Those people tend to have fewer children in the first place and are more likely to take good care of them. I actually think the best approach to reducing the world’s population increase is a heavy investment in education including reproductive education, especially in poorer countries which are the ones still actually growing fast.
