Are you, too, tired of the rhyming?

You are a fintech dev using floating point? And your advice is to encode things as strings?

...

This is why I got out of fintech.

(I am sorry, I know there are horrors and I am sure I am not familiar with your exact scenario.)

Edit: just for anyone who passes by: try to stick with integers in a currency's smallest unit of division. (This is only one small bit of this problem, but the number of times I have seen currency values in floating point makea me psychotic.)

Maybe true, I don't pay much attention. All I know is most studies and censuses I have seen show religious affiliation falling fairly rapidly.

🤷‍♂️

What would you think of someone who goes door to door trying to convince you a blubbery clown rules the universe from planet zebulon?

Is that a normal person just doing normal person things?

For the non-religious, there is no difference between the person above and a relgious believer.

I think it's reasonable to ask why people still hold unfounded beliefs with the greater interconnectedness of the world making it pretty plain that not all these religions can be divinely inspired truth, so many of them are necessarily imaginary.

Nah, I like my community without the side of eternal suffering that so many religions like to threaten you with for varioua reasons.

I'd put my money on huge adoption of D&D in the utopian future before I put it on religion.

Thanks for this, one of the more interesting suggestions I have seen.

Too cynical a take to be real.

The above happens sometimes, and is maybe more common among older entrenched politicians (that we have in spades right now with the aging out of one of the largest generations ever). But most of the time it's real people with real beliefs who want to change things. Governments are usually set up to change slowly, if at all, so often little seems to happen, but those gears do grind slowly based on how they're pushed.

So, your take is definitely a way to make it so the political class can continue to exploit people - you need more people upset and willing to change if you want to make a difference, not lots of powerless apathy.

So close, if only you had said Mary McDonnell.

Name a main character. Not the actor, the character.

If you can, you'll be the first person who has been able to that I have asked. (Though I have never asked online.)
