  For me it's pretty simple why I don't go there.

  A Pizza Hut large pizza, sans discounts, begins at £23/£27. And it tastes likes ass, while also in the past ~2 years the amount of cheese and toppings was reduced by half, at least.

  Meanwhile, the little "greasy spoon" pizza place that delivers within 15 minutes, for the same price, will do a family meal deal of 2 large pizzas (with tons of toppings and proper amount of cheese!), a large garlic pizza bread, an extra side and a 2L drink.

  Oh and the latter pizza tastes awesome, is delivered with care (by their own drivers, not an UberEats fuckwit who'll toss the pizza in his backpack vertically), and the place regularly tossed in a little extra for frequent orders, like an extra dessert...

  Oh, good to know. Last time I checked around WASM this wasn't really an option.

  See the main issue with that is you need to bundle everything into the app.

  Modern computing is inherently cross-dependent on runtimes and shared libraries and whatnot, to save space. Why bundle the same 300MB runtime into five different apps when you can download it once and share it between the apps? Or even better, have a newer, backwards compatible version of the runtime installed and still be able to share it between apps.

  With WASM you're looking at bundling every single dependency, every single runtime, framework and whatnot, in the final binary. Which is fine for one-off small things, but when everything is built that way, you're sacrificing tons of storage and bandwidth unnecessarily.

  But human existence is suffering. Buddhism teaches that if you do incredibly well, you'll be reborn as a being with a worry-free life. Being a plankton sounds exactly like that.

  IMO human existence, with all its benefits, is waaaaay below plankton.

  apologies, the video wouldn't load so I presumed it was one of the in-depth rants about how Trump is just a symptom and how others are in control.

  I also seriously misread the OOP, but in my defense it was 3am and I've been running on 2-3hr of sleep a day for a while now.

  And yes, my account was inactive for a while as the federated Reddit alternatives haven't been teeming with much content or discourse when I original joined, and a recent Reddit ban that nuked all my alts was the trigger to continue moving back here. Alas not a bot and I've been using this nickname for the better part of the past ~25 years.

  While you're not wrong that Trump is just a puppet for a number of masters in various hierarchies, there's one key attribute he has that makes him indispensable - the cult he managed to build.

  With him gone, do you really think that any of the current replacements being fostered could actually get anywhere with MAGA? Do you think that any of the people in question, let it be one of the Trump kids or JD Vance or quite literally anyone from his inner circles, replace him as the cult leader?

  Trump is uniquely positioned as both the executor of the will of this cabal, and the cult leader of the morons. With him gone, the cabal will be hard pressed to push for another candidate who can move even remotely as many voters as the orange turdsack did.

  With Trump gone, so will be the MAGA movement, and said cabal will be back to, well, not square one, but it will be a major setback until they can find another mascot who can charisma the moron third into voting against their own interest.

  And that gap, that few years will allow for a crucial thing: "re-education". With Trump gone, the MAGA followers will be able to re-evaluate their stances more freely, with reduced effects from e.g. sunk cost fallacy, and can be taught to recognise populism and how it actually negatively affects them by preying on their weaknesses.
