Asshole kept getting into the ring with stumblebums so often that he got high on his own supply; started thinking he could actually go toe to toe with a professional. There’s a screenshot out there of the exact moment that he realized his mistake and it is fucking glorious.

Book was one of the best of the Bachman books. I really enjoyed it.

Given the average intelligence of most humans, I’d be willing to wager that most elephants are smarter than that.

Why the hate on Honeydew? Honeydew is awesome!

I’ll admit, sometimes you get a completely tasteless one. But get one at the sweet spot of ripeness…my god…it’s ambrosia.

tl/dr - Someone a while ago mentioned this, and it’s the one that I personally believe, is that the “MRIs” and the hospital trips are for monthly infusions of lecanemab. Which is why at times he seems cogent (at least when graded on the trump scale) and later in the same month he’ll be a raving lunatic. It’s the time between his dosages.

Just another goddamned nepo baby, then? I knew it.

ALL OF THEM

This is the right answer. Because the truth is, you can’t have a fandom without passion. And people that are passionate enough to consider themselves part of a fandom community (regardless of it’s source) are passionate enough to be vocal and opinionated about it. And there will ALWAYS be some who crank the whine up to 11 and annoy everyone else.

It’s not an issue with any one particular fan community, it’s a feature of all of them.

It’s not a stereotype if it’s true, though! /s

On a more serious note, coming from an immigrant family, you can see it very clearly in a lot of those old Eurpoean cultures (Portugal, spain, etc…) The men work, the women (seem) subservient, but honestly, without them, their husbands are absolutely useless at bills, banking, groceries, literally anything that isn’t getting up and going to work to make money.

Most men would absolutely fall apart without their wives because while they can dress for themselves, they sure as hell can’t shop for themselves, etc…

I’m not saying that that’st he modern convention. It isn’t at all. It’s changing. But there’s still a tonne of older women who come in and (half-jokingly) have to buy a bunch of premade meals for their husband because she has to go on the road for a few days and he is useless for that sort of stuff on his own.

It’s only a matter of time. I want nothing to do with any company that is giving so called “A.I” the time of day.

Well…fuck Udemy I guess.

One of my old employers used to pay out small bonus incentives onto a prepaid credit card for each staff member, and I called it my “fun money” that I would invariably spend on Udemy enrolling in whatever seemed interesting to me. It was truly enjoyable and I feel like I’m a more well rounded person because of it.

And now AI is going to fuck all of that. I want to learn from PEOPLE, not LLM’s cosplaying as A.I.

Ah shit. Some poor Venezuelan kid who races dirt-bikes is going to find himself in an adventure now, isn’t he?

Did Robotaxi just flat out steal the Cyberpunk font in order to try to look cool? It seems like a very Musk thing to do.

But not the kiddie fucking…

Jesus fucking christ, America.

If the price is free, you are the product

I think you’re both right, actually. But when I’m explaining it to people I add “If the price is free and the software isn’t open source…you are the product”

It’s the basic value proposition. If a piece of software is being given to you for free from a company that wants to make a profit…they’ll be making that profit off your information. If a company/community driven project is free and open source, it means that they have different motivations than profit and you can be somewhat more sure of your privacy.

I know it’s not the point of the article, but holy heck, she doesn’t look 43! I had always thought she was younger than AOC.

Who’d have thought that an Archaeology dad-joke would be the thing to make me snort-laugh today.

Well done. And thanks.

Dick the Birthday Boy was literally the first thing that popped into my head.

It’s never a bad idea to learn another language.

It’s never a bad idea to learn. period…full stop.

The act of learning anything wires our brains in a thousand different ways; increases our critical thinking skills. Increases our verbosity and our ability to communicate our own ideas more effectively. It increases problem solving skills, etc…

The very act of learning is something that should be practiced every day with something, whether that’s a new language, or a hobby, or being a history buff…it doesn’t matter. What matters is the learning itself.

So if Russian is what is giving you that interest right now, do it. At the very least, chicks dig polyglots.

I’m not saying he didn’t do it. In fact I’m pretty sure at the end of the day it will come out that he did.

But Pepperidge Farm remembers when news reporters remembered to use the world “allegedly” in their headlines until after the trial was concluded.

Maybe tomorrow he’ll finally settle down…
