It wasn’t required, but id wager 99% of website that exist currently run JS in some form or another for something.

Id wager its impossible to have anything dynamic on a webpage without JS (minus visual dynamics which can be handled with css), at that point you have to replace it with a different programming language and every browser needs to completely change gears to allow other code to run instead. But what advantage is gained by changing to another programming language? Cleaner code w/ less jankyness? Sure I guess, but we would be moving mountains to accomplish a silly thing.

I’m wondering if many people in this thread understand what JS is and does.

I don’t know how to tell you this, but removing JS doesn’t turn the internet into a wonderland. Capitalism is to blame for enshitification not JS

All of the people replying to this saying you shouldn’t need JS are totally unaware how modern web development works.

Yes, you could do many sites without JS, but the entire workforce for web development is trained with JS frameworks. To do otherwise would slow development time down significantly, not allow for certain functionality to exist (functionality you would 100% be unhappy was missing).

Its not a question of possibility, its a question of feasibility.

I’m pro social programs, I just spoke poorly. “Socialism for me but not for thee” was what I should have said

Our tax money when they inevitably screw a whole market over. So socialism

Edit: you all think I’m shitting on socialism, when I guess I was failing to tie together how capitalists will enjoy socializing their loses, but never socializing benefits to society.

That’s the dumbest fucking part of teams, half of the problems that make people hate it are simple dumb shit like this that just prove they, like every other fucking company, prioritize business facing improvements, to the detriment of any user level improvement. IM LOOKING AT YOU AUTODESK!

Democracy can never exist in a two party system.

I found this out after getting past security but before entering the venue. I had shit cell service and was just finding out I had to download, create an account for, and sign into their app, I was outside for maybe 10 minutes. Funny how they dont make you do any of this to buy the ticket, only after I paid money for it. AXS can suck my dick.

Fuck yeah, turn left bash fash Les go

I kept wondering if it was because all nascar drivers do is turn left. But him being used as a meme is never explained directly or contextually.

Poisoning a word that means “not ignorant of the systems of oppression in the world” sounds like a great game plan for the oppressor.

The problem that many people have with this argument that “China is going to influence us” isn’t that we are immune to influence, its that the argument sounds extremely hallow when our own native social media manipulates the absolute shit out of us already… like what is China going to do that our own country isn’t already doing.

This is the argument you hear from people on tiktok about why they don’t care about the governments concern.

Well that and how its kind of disgusting how completely unified the house is in this bill, but couldn’t give a shit about wealth inequality, corporate ownership of residential housing, rampant inflation, rising homelessness, school shootings.

I thought your head would be bigger…

Club sandwich? Actually cake.

Well yeah, that’s my point, social media was new at that time when antivax was a meme, now it’s mainstream. Social media just allowed stupid people to spread stupidity at an alarming rate, then we as a society learned how to manipulate effectively through social media. It’s not like social media is some force of nature that accidently fucked up society. Social media is a tool that the richest and worst people in society used to fuck up society.

This is the guns don’t kill people argument.

Who use social media to spread influence.

Well I remember when being antivax was a meme around 2008.

He named them all actually
