Dear programmers, if someone asks for help about a paticular language please don't hold it over them. Saying things like:
"Shouldn't you know that?"
Someone could code 6 years in C and have no idea about basic OO principles. If they've done some research and can't make sense of them and then they ask a programming discord, you don't need to shit on them. You can just help them.
TLDR: Shitting on people for not knowing about something you know doesn't make you a better programmer.

Of course there is also the Aristotelian argument of opposites that in which, the beautiful would have 2 opposites. The ugly and the not beautiful, although they're very similar they're not quite the same.
The not beautiful is not necessarily ugly by nature it just does not have any beauty within it. Even more confusingly something ugly can have beauty in it, but in it's totality it would still appear as ugly.
Personally I don't believe anything that has even the smallest bit of beauty should be considered beautiful, it must be beautiful in it's totality. But I do recognise it as a counter argument.
I know this sounds like a "woke"-esc post but hear me out.
There's a growing belief in certain sub-cultures that all people are beautiful. I am aware that the media have a strong grip over beauty standards, calling everyone beautiful, in my opinion only devalues beauty as concept.
In my mind, in order for a quality to exist there must be an antithesis of that quality:
-Tall and short
-Smart and dumb
-Beautiful and ugly
Without light we cannot have darkness and without the ugly we cannot have the beautiful.
I think it's really disgusting that facebook owns the two largest messaging apps, taking whatever of my data they want from them.
I'd love to be able to use the open-source alternative telegram, but the issue is that literally no-one I know uses them and I don't want to force people to download an app to be able to talk with me.
