War? There will be some building destroyed, some shot fired and then the "international community" will serve Ukraine to Putin on a silver plate so that he doesn't get pissed and start WW3.
Then when mr Vladimir will decide that Poland is also "etnically, historically and racially" [paraphrased from mr H] Russian, then Czech Republic and Solvakia, then... you got the gist.
And I'm veering waaay too much into Soapbox territory.

Why is it when I discuss politics, I am the one that gets banned.

Yup. Poland is of no interest, but do explain how this is a danger to Europe.

Apart from having an expansionist semi-dictator at the borders... nothing. And that's why we (Europeans, as I am) might as well bide our farewells to the Balcanic and Eastern Europe neighbors.
And now I shall stop truly as I am already deep in SB territory.

You already went way beyond. I'm not allowed to comment, that would be a ban.

I have a customer that's originally from Ukraine.
If you had heard his jokes about this whole situation you'd get a heart attack.

I wouldn't. I'd just explain war is no joke. Go stand next to the pile of corpses and play comedian there.

Gallows humor has its place. Sometimes it's the only thing that can keep the tears at bay.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It's actually a joke about the buffoons in the Welsh (so called) government.

War is a stupid and tragic waste of life. I doubt that it something to joke about.
I have no doubt this will escalate into WWIII before it is over.
As far as Joe "Neville Chamberlain" Biden goes, "those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it".
Biden is the worst President ever! Putin is out of his mind. The citizens of Ukraine have been well and truly screwed by the U.S and Nato.

Please someone adds an Option Explicit to Python.
The fact that something like this is even conceivable, let alone valid, is atrocious:
class Empty:
pass
Empty.completelyNewAttribute = "seriously?"
obj = Empty()
obj.randomTypo = 10
Every new programmer makes fun of C++ for being unnecessarily hard to use but I think that a language like Python, with all the possible ways it enables programmers to shoot themselves, is 10 times harder than C++.
And yes, my opinion that Python is VB with different clothes is only becoming stronger. Ugh.

when I see code statements like goto and option explicit, I run in the opposite direction.

I honestly think that is the objective (thinning the herd).

What is funny about this is that most of the software these "new programmers" run, was written partly or mostly in C++. Inconceivable!

I like the way you think. I work in embedded so the my particular herd is already very thin

Goto is an issue. Option Explicit is the programmer telling you how they're handling variables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Would you rather see an option explicit or wonder what the result of
var sum = "6" + 6
is?
Option explicit prevents the confusion.

You do understand that Python was named in honour of "Monty Python's Flying Circus" (where chaos and madness were the norm)?

That's what I keep telling people, especially when I see the logo of 2 intertwined snakes.

I tried it for a few weeks but found it extremely hard to understand. I'll stick with C++ and Java.

There are some slightly weird things you need to get your head round. Once you 'get' those things it really is quite an easy language to use.
