Just because someone writes a play doesn't make them the arbiter of truth. Also, my statement doesn't necessarily mean there's a hell, insofar as the common understanding of it. Granted, I can see the inference given its popularity. But anyway, I'd not use a playwriter as a gauge to determine anything of substance without first doing my own thinking.

Yet, just because someone wrote a book claiming they didn't - some other 'god' entity really wrote it for them - you think that is a good reason for setting aside laws of nature, common logic and math when it it fits the goals of your religion and yourself.
You think that it gives you the right to declare about everybody else that "I guarantee all y'all gonna be singing a different tune when you come near the end of your life" - displaying an extreme disrespect for the integrity of everybody else.
And you demand the right to censor everybody who does not unconditionally accept every word in that book someone wrote long ago - or rather: The way you interpret those words, which may be quite different from the literal words.
In spite of your readings, you apparently still haven't gotten around to read UDHR-19.

As you have a couple of times declared that you do not read my responses, I do not consider that a problem.
I will upheld my right to speak, based on UDHR-19, but even setting that aside, it would be outright silly to be silenced by someone who doesn't even read what I am writing.
My posts go to other readers of this forum. They are available to you as well, and your choice to not read them is yours alone. What I do not understand is why something that you don't read can upset you so badly!

Apparently you DO read my posts.
If you do not, you are threatening with reporting me to the admins for something that you haven't read. That is strange.
Now that you do not read my posts, there is nothing more I can do to save your precious time for you.
The one most obvious thing would be for you not to waste time trying to censor and silence me, through a series of censor-demanding, trump case posts. Especially making these outbursts without having read the statements you are trying to suppress sounds like a real waste of time and energy.
But as you are not reading my posts, you unfortunately will not see this little piece of advice.

With moderate success so far, it seems.
References to UDHR-19 as a response to cries for censorship seems to be within the acceptable for CP.

I consider myself to be a Transient Agnostic Misotheist who isn't quite sure if he's also a Dysthiest.
I might be Polythiestic, but I might be Monotheistic. I can't figure that out because I'm Agnostic.
If God does exist, he's severely bipolar. One minute, he's flooding the entire Earth to kill everything. The next minute he creates a rainbow as a symbol showing that he will never flood the Earth ever again. That's nice and all, but we all know the next time he kills everything on Earth, he'll use fire. I think He may be a few tacos short of a combination plate.

The rainbow (Genesis 9, 12-15) is a promise that God will not destroy the world again by flood. But a few verses earlier (Genesis 8, 22) God promises that the laws of nature will not change. That seems to preclude universal floods, fires, etc.
Of course God said nothing about us doing it to ourselves.

the C++ file stream behavior wrt openmode is not intuitive at least not to me . so my code was not behaving properly . as a result i tested its behavior with every combination of openmode values . ChatGBT was nice enough to write the combination generating code for me . so i now have a compendium of results to rely on and can now find the correct openmode values required for any situation .

thank you for the suggestion . however my previous tips have always been removed as inconsequential . the code is simple enough . no doubt you can write it in no time at all . if you do not wish to bother with it i can provide same via DropBox as i do not have a Git account and have yet to learn how to utilize it .

What exactly is not intuitive about those modes?

As I'm not a regular C++ programmer I once had a similar problem, it was not clear to me the stream was written in text instead of binary format. Took me a very long time to find out what the problem was ...

I guess my background from assembler and other base languages helped me with it.

opening an existing file w/ ios_base::out causes its contents to disappear .
to write to a existing file seekp'ed position requires ios_base::in | ios_base::out .
to write to a non-existing file seekp'ed position requires ios_base::out .

Yes, but that follows the basic IO model from C (OPEN, READ, fopen, fread etc.), and the Windows API (CreateFile, ReadFile ...). All use the same basic concepts, and the difference between writing binary data and text has always been there.

I hate that they cook text. I hate it so much.
I once spent an entire day debugging my TTF engine because the IoT code I was using was opening my font file in text mode.
The thing is, 90% of it worked.

Well, I guess we have all been there at one time or another.
