Have to say, when I’m strictly looking for hard info, like, what are the command line switches to achieve the right config for a thing, the AI is pretty much always right. It’s not without use, but Doing Things For You is not its best use.

If you want an anti-poster boy for PR, look no further than that great bastion of human rights and democracy, Israel.

That depends on what you are calling Capitalism. I’m all for free markets and such, but Capitalism was never anti-feudal - first thing the Burghers did was marry their kids into Noble families. It was strictly about adding “man with enough money that he doesn’t work” to the protected class.

Never has it been more clear what Capitalism is. It has fuckall to do with freedom and everything to do with sharecropping.

If you’re running a site that anyone from the public can sign up to, resources are not some afterthought you add to your argument like pepper. Resources are everything. I have been on this Internet since NCSA Mosaic; look up the term “hugged to death”.

Sometime in the last two years, the number of people consider themselves to be programmers has at least doubled. We have a giant contingent of people who have never gone through the hell of actually developing a skill but are now “developers” in much the same way that typing “make me a song like ______” now makes you a musician. No theory, no chords, no building of callouses, just load up our AutoPlagio and dance the night away!

And these sudden Developers and such are all very upset at having their legitimacy questioned by a bunch of… of… NERDS.

Response guy seems to think that “legitimate crypto” is a thing.

My SSH keys are legitimate crypto. Fake money for criminals is not legitimate.

You are missing the gnu, if you’re calling it an OS.

Venezuela is being run by Rubio as a Banana Republic, except with oil. The president is talking openly about annexing us. Do the math.

To be fair, it is wartime.

I ain’t writing them off just yet.

jfc can we go back to spending our money on crypto please

Bonkers. Bonkers.

It’s important you know, especially if you are young, that you are currently immersed in a mental environment so toxic, that if you felt good most of the time it would indicate that something is wrong with you.

I know nothing about your life, so I really have little to offer, other than that: it is normal to feel terrible when the world is in the state that it is currently in. Many would say you have to get on with it, and they’re right on a certain level, but you can’t suppress reality 100% of the time.

If was really presuming to help you, we would have to talk a lot and kinda figure out the root of this self-disdain, cause there is something at the bottom of it, and spoiler, I AM 100% positive that someone else put it there, one way or another.

The second feature for RotNerds, if you’re making an evening of regrettable comedies, would absolutely have to be Hot Dog: The Movie.

Features David Naughton, the American Werewolf In London, the I’m A Pepper guy, the Makin’ It guy, a true icon of the early 1980s.

Also features the line, “Now that’s a girl I can take advantage of!” in reference to a girl who has just been handed and drank a large enough sum of mixed liquor to pass out on the floor.

Came to make sure this was represented, have an upvote.

Having lived through the 90s, in which the future I was promised (checks notes) got shipped to China in the name of seducing everyone to betray the local hardware store and go to Walmart instead

This take has a goldfish’s memory.

The B-52s are looking pretty rough.

I did, loved it mostly, but… they literally erased a brother. There was another one, and he was even more tragic than the one they kept - he was small, and had extremely brittle bones, and the only thing he wanted was to wrestle, of course… and they let him, and he got put out by injury very quickly, and then followed his dead brothers.

I think they cut him out because first off, it would probably have come off to audiences as “overdone” or something because it is difficult to countenance that much tragedy on one family. But also, the ones who were alive to allow that last one to happen bear some culpability in his death. He should’ve been sent to distant relatives and kept completely away from the family wrestling cult.
