Bjarne Stroustrup invented C++ which is used to program just about every realistic video game for over 15 years.

Unreal engine is made with C++

The engines made for Grand Theft Auto, Battlefield, and Arma are all made with C++

Even realistic virtual reality games such as Pavlov and Onward are made with c++.

Eventually we will be able to create a virtual world that would be indistinguishable from reality and we will have Bjarne Stroustrup to thank for that.

Humans already enter their own Matrix. The paradigm shift and hitting rock bottom are two moments where the choice of the blue pill or red pill presents themselves.

Metaverse is basically going to be the matrix. Once they roll in agenda 2030 and great reset we'll all be forced like cattle into 4x4 cells in high rises in a centralized megacity where we wake up every day and put the headset on and it will give us perception of having life and ownership of stuff. But reality is we'll own nothing and be happy. Then you take it off and go to bed, and repeat the process.

They even have walmart!

Fun brag story: (maybe 15+ years ago) I shifted from programming to hardware, but still had to take Advanced C++ to finish my degree out, so I picked up a book to start studying it ahead of time. It was too dense for me to comprehend, so I emailed the author to see what I should do next, and he said the best & easiest way was to take an intro class, because it was better explained than read.

Turns out the author was Bjarne Stroustrup & was just randomly nice enough to reply to some n00b haha! I ended up having a few conversations with him via email, super cool guy! It's amazing that we live in a time where the architects of technology are available via email, twitter, etc. I didn't realize it was him until I took the Advanced C++ class & we were reviewing the history of C & the development of C++ and my teacher was like Bjarne created it and I was like wait that name sounds familiar lol. The Internet is awesome!

That's actually pretty cool. I do recall reading a C++ book when I was learning... chances are the same one actually. Was written by him. At the time I did not really know who he was or that he literally invented C++. Probably the most suitable author for that book haha.

STFU with your "agenda 2030/great reset" nonsense, you gullible twit.

The dude is a BEAST! His 2013 "The C++ Programming Language, 4th edition" clocks in at a whopping 1,376 pages lol:


The thing about knowing how to do something vs. being able to teach it is that you already have all of the tribal knowledge in your head, which I visualize as a big comfy couch. So when you teach it to someone new, they're missing out on all of that background information, which is why having a knowledgeable in-person teacher helps so much, because you can ask them those support & clarification questions ad-hoc. FWIW I failed the Advanced C++ class twice & finally passed it with a C (hah) on the third try. Turned out I have dyscalculia (math dyslexia) lol, so integrating numbers on the fly with my small ADHD working memory was no bueno hahaha.

Interesting thread. How come it didn't continue?

Gizmo, you dunnit again!

Hey, that's rude for a lady :p

If you met Red Squirrel, I bet you would decide he was pretty nice and handy to have around and then you both could adopt Gizmo!

Imagine how happy and fulfilling a life you three would have!

I bet you're wrong and miss the mark on just how much disdain I have for him ;)
I'd probably need some kind of ophthalmic specialist after rolling my eyes so frequently.

But you gotta love his honesty!

It's the shameless honesty about how fucking insane he is that is disturbing. To live close enough to such mentally disturbed people that believe they are living in a world that absolutely doesn't exist, does not portend great things for our future as a species.

For the rouge tree rodent, however, he at least seems content merely to go hide off in the woods and die alone, never actually communicating with other humans again. This is probably the best scenario that actual humanity can hope for from such people.

"Honesty" lolol .... sorry but I'd prefer NOT knowing just how confused some of my fellow posters are! ;)

Having said that, if I ever find myself in the Timmins area (unlikely) I'll make it a point to stop in for a beer with my friend Red.


*(unlike MANY folks these days I'm fully capable of being friends with those I partially disagree with... life IS too short!)

I am gonna let you in on a big secret. You are already in The Matrix. Timmins was selected as the beta test site for The Great Reset on account of having a high percentage of gullible population.

Yeah, I don't associate with homophobes (like RS) in meatspace.

Didn't say I don't understand. (or empathize)

I also still associate with a SELECT FEW actual Republicans IRL believe it or not. ;)

Hell you and I don't see eye to eye on some stuff .... I'd suggest looking more at the "half-full" part of the glass instead of homing in on the negative. (we're ALL only human)
