A JavaScript developer, a Python developer, a C++ developer, and 97 PHP developers enter a bar.
The barman asks, “What can I get ya, fellows?”
The PHP developers say they’ll make their orders later. The barman turns to the JavaScript developer and asks him for his order.
“I’ll have a beer.” The JavaScript developer replies, and the barman turns around and quickly serves him a bottle.
The PHP developers start singing loudly: “99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall.”
The barman feels a headache coming on. He ignores them and asks the Python developer what she’ll have. He cringes internally when the woman orders a beer as well.
Quickly, he serves her a beer.
“98 bottles of beer on the wall, 98 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around, 97 bottles of beer on the wall.”
The PHP developers finish singing the next verse. The barman, now incensed, looks at the PHP developers and asks why they’re doing this.
“We heard there’s strength in numbers.”
The barman scowls and turns to C++ developer with a sigh, “What about you then? What can I get ya?”
The C++ developer sighs, “I’ll have 97 bottles of beer.”
Do you think Native Americans would agree to define him as an explorer too, then?
And Adolf Hitler was a politician. That was his “mission”. We don’t define Hitler by his career though.
I guess he went above and beyond on that mission, yeah? By your definition he seems more like a bounty-hunter/privateer and not an explorer, but worse in every way. (And how is rape supposed to tie into this narrative about his goal of securing more funding anyway?)
So by your logic, not having a military position pardons any atrocities he committed and waives the reason to call him anything other than “explorer”? He was a butcher and a rapist. That’s a fact.
You don’t need a rank and a hat to become a sanctioned piece of shit. That can happen sans the hat.
Is this your opinion, or an “accurate” fact too?
