181 is a prime number!! It seemed very multiple-of-nine coded…
Unrelated, I now have 181 closed PRs across Wafrn's Codeberg and Github repos which means I have 35.3515625% of wafrn PRs currently. This makes me the strongest PR farmer of the modern era and acts as a 20% additive multiplier to my Ego stat.

Why is it that we are so surprised and affronted by politicians openly lying and exaggeration in order to get elected? Our whole economic system is based on the the big lie and the little lie: new and improved, driven by a little old lady, global warming isn't real, smoking doesn't cause cancer … #PoliticiansLying #Exaggeration #EconomicSystem #BigLie #LittleLie #NewAndImproved #LittleOldLady #GlobalWarming #SmokingDoesntCauseCancer

The #Paranoid Style in American #Politics ( Harper’s 1964)
American politics has often been an arena for angry minds. In recent years we have seen angry minds at work mainly among extreme right-wingers who have now demonstrated in the #Goldwater movement how much political leverage can be got out of the animosities & passions of a small minority… I call it the paranoid style … heated #exaggeration, #suspiciousness , & #conspiratorial #fantasy that I have in mind

CLÉANTE: Most men are strangely made; they always stray
Out of the natural and proper way;
Rejecting reason’s bounds as limitations,
They range about amid their aberrations;
Even the noblest things they often mar
By forcing them and pushing them too far.
[Les hommes, la plupart, sont étrangement faits;
Dans la juste nature on ne les voit jamais:
La raison a pour eux des bornes trop petites,
En chaque caractère ils passent ses limites;
Et la plus noble chose, ils la gâtent souvent,
Pour la vouloir outrer et pousser trop avant.]Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]

#Trump has delivered a stream of #exaggeration, half-truths & outright #lies about the #Ukraine war that echo the views of #Putin. They include his dismissal of Ukraine's President #Zelensky as a dictator who does not deserve a seat at the table when America & Russia decide the future of his country. The biggest lie Trump has told is that Ukraine started the war.

A quotation from Peters, Ellis:
«
“God does indeed forbid,” said Radulfus dryly, “that we should make more of our virtues or our failings than is due. More than your due you shall not have of, neither praise nor blame.”

I like the idea of periodically generating a data file and having a #static web page responsible for making a #browser render it.
Even with its distant #lisp heritage I don’t like that #javascript is the premier way to filter the data on that web page while keeping the “back end” stupid, simple, and static.
If I did the smart thing and leveraged other people’s code then I’d be running half the known universe in the browser. The #ecosystem makes me not want to use the ecosystem. #exaggeration

@jhaue The “cleanest air in the world” claim is a bit bullshit, really.
The site gets affected by smoke coming from Tasmania, dust coming from the mainland... you name it, they get it. But they don’t bother making as many measurements when it is not in “baseline” conditions. It’s *only* when it is getting air from the west or southwest that it is “clean”, and then only as clean as the rest of the Southern Ocean.
The researchers quoted in the article say that, but *every time* it appears in any media the claim is exaggerated. -
@randahl Typical #Trump rhetoric, using a fallacy; #exaggeration

Decided on a whim to challenge myself by ignoring #pterosaur anatomy, and focusing on heavy #exaggeration and developing a character.

With a tenth of the population and workforce, they think they are owed half the country’s CPP. This should be a last straw insult. Canada should have its own referendum on kicking Alberta out, land-lock them, stop subsidies and payments, impose its own charges for anything flowing out, sue for all damages from excessive emissions and say good riddance.
