@OfficialHK7s not a great experience trying to buy tickets online: Issue 1: After you click buy, get taken to refund selection, the "OK" to confirm selection wasn't shown 50% of the time. Going back and trying to re-select tickets triggered a re-entry into the queuing system.

This was done all on desktop, the only way I could eventually get tickets was by doing it all on my mobile phone over cellular data. I assume Issue 2 was something wrong with my IP address, but it was from a standard HK home internet connection.

You ultimately charged me 265HKD "service fee" for this terrible experience, it took me 2 hours to book the ticket trying all manner of different cards, and having to reload and navigate through the queue.

This is the language of European decline. Reducing suffering and pollution. Fine. But stop telling us to consume less. Pork has been central to European culture for a long time and such messaging is disrespectful of that culture. Bacon tastes good.
Pig farms in the EU🇪🇺. They are a major source of environmental pollution and animal suffering. We should reduce meat consumption and production.

Doing Putin’s bidding? That is Trump’s America, don’t let it become Farage’s Britain. We need a new inquiry by the Intelligence and Security Committee into Reform and Farage's links to Russia.

Make no mistake, this is exactly what it seems to be: preparation to create a one-party dictatorship.
Stephen Miller on @seanhannity: “The Democrat Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization."

love to see it. writing complex types without @ark/attest is like running benchmarks with an hourglass⌛
Replying to @arktypeio
@arktypeio just wanted to thank you for your `attest` library. Reduced instantiation count from 2M+ to <400K in a project I'm working on by finding some stupid types. Perfect!

If you need a cosmic surveillance camera to stop you lying, you’re not moral, you’re managed. Atheists tell the truth because integrity isn’t a threat-based contract. It’s character.
If you’re an atheist, what reason do you have to not lie?

The geopolitical reality show generates headlines, distracts your attention, and hopes you don’t notice holes in the script. Take a red pill and read my latest article ⬇️

Really is difficult to overstate how pathetic this asshole is for blaming everything on Biden. Take some accountability for your actions.
Trump on blocking military aid to Ukraine: "Biden emptied out our whole country, giving them weapons. We have to make sure we have enough for ourselves." Trump is lying, as usual

During WWII, the Germans built a fake wooden airfield to deceive the Allies. After months of observation, the Royal Air Force dropped a single fake wooden bomb on it.

whoa. I just found a way to properly infer recursive types in z.object() — no casting, no z.lazy(), no scopes/registries, no special syntax. i've been trying to do this for literally years
