i mean Canada did invent a Thanksgiving but the goal was religious nationalism and not opposing Christmas, which was really their mistake

long ago in the history of our Nation, a group of Calvinists decided that celebrating Christmas was gauche. so they invented Thanksgiving, as a bulwark against there being too much Christmas. in our Northern Neighbour, this never happened, so they have too much Christmas up there

what Christianity teaches is that people are vulnerable and fallible and sometimes they need the leadership of experts. this has a failure mode on one end where people found cults and tell you not to trust your eyes or ears or conscience. and it seems many people have seen this and pivoted to the opposite failure of seeing themselves as infallible and not trusting experts at all

you do not have to accept Christianity¦s framing. but if you grew up in a Christian context you should at least merit that the true answer is somewhere in the middle

an organized religion is just an organized discussion. there are lots of reasons not to like specific religions, but if you hate a religion simply for the sin of being organized that just means you hate listening to people who aren¦t yourself

thinking non‐cult organized religions are evil 🤝 people who think they are smarter than everyone else

well‐known void

harec seems to work, except @init functions don’t seem to run, and trying to allocate 50TB of memory gives a segfault instead of a more graceful error. might be good enough? idk i kind of feel like you have to understand apple aarch64 assembly to figure out what is going on here, which is. not my specialty

i missed an argument in my compilation script and now i only have two failing tests, so that is progress

after fiddling with it for a little bit my take on Hare is that i cannot run it on my computer

i am sorry @coriander, this is great storytelling and you are just a hater

does anybody have thoughts on the Hare programming language
