In part to combat the wave of junk articles crapped out by generative AI with examples using the most faggy language (python) ever designed, I decided to start showcasing various aspects of C++, easily my preferred platform.

It has its oversights and shortcomings I'll also present, but generally C++ has a respectable, formal style which helps the compiler produce performant and efficient binaries while also exposing the abject peasantry of various other languages once you get to know it. Exactly as human language was more well-spoken decades ago, so too was computing language, to the extent that using other platforms seems like writing foul-mouthed vulgarity in comparison.

This is also sort of a test-post to see how well the site formatting system handles code (I tried it in a message to myself but the formatting doesn't work there).

`
#include <iostream>

int main(int, char**)
{
std::cout << "The iostream syntax is weird, but allows for some compile-time checks and runtime safety.\n";
std::cout << "Terry Davis was right about it being niggery compared to printf though.\n";
return 0;
}
`

If the code delimiters don't work, it'll probably interpret the pointer asterisks as bold text, or perhaps the include directive as a HTML header level.

If the `code` doesn't work, it's because you have a messed-up C++ compiler resulting from another attempt at Embrace-Extend-Extinguish. For sake of argument I'm using GCC g++, but in general a compliant compiler ought not require preprocessor directives specific to itself.

Property owners can now contact such groups to quickly and effectively evict illegal occupants from their properties.

I volunteer for a veterans charity on the weekend. I was in front of a wally world in west central florida. 2 saturdays ago.

A guy comes out. In his sixties. Wearing a track suit. As hes getting on his expensive bicycle he says to me "You want to help me? Have Elon Musk stop stealing my social security and medicare!".

Now I have become very good at ignoring the assholes, and there are plenty of them, but this was just too stupid to let slide.

And NO ONE EVER mentions juuz! You keyboard warriors are too scared to say it in public!

I reply "You cannot possibly believe that!". I repeat it " You cannot possibly believe that. MORON!" He's unlocking his bike with his head down.

I tell him " Congress and the Senate have been stealing your social security and sending it overseas!".

He waits till he's on his bike pedaling to say "Keep drinking the Kool-Aid"!
THAT made me mad! I shouted after him "keep slurping propaganda!".

There are a lot of stupid people in the world.
