I robbed a bank full of dinero
A great big mountain of dough
So it was goodbye companero
And cheerio
I couldn’t stay and face the music
So many reasons why
I won’t be sending postcards
From Paraguay, from Paraguay, from Paraguay

–Mark Knopfler

So I wasn’t the ONLY one telling Hector not to fight Achilles and being laughed out of my own family.

I’ve gotten comments about the various far right wolves and dogs organizations as if they defined all furries. They’re ruining it for the rest of the kin.

It isn’t the first time a subdemographic’s reputation extends inappropriately to the rest of the group.

December 7, 1941.

How to tell the techs you’re lying without telling the client

…And they’ll still win because some essential minority bloc will believe their promises of free beer and butter.

🗄 or 🗃 come to mind.

In my culture we had nothing but roadkill and weeds to eat, so we got really good at making stuff palatable. << Most cultural food legends.

I assume it was Christmas like Narnia Christmas; not quite the same holiday.

This is not a solution it’s a workaround. Sleeping in cars is typically hard sleeping, which is still the problem.

But did you get high?

(Most AC recipes are for rec drug use.)

I don’t get six-seven at all, but it’s not the first time I didn’t jibe with slang.

Disappointed this is a parody.

There are actual AI-based services to replace company upper management, and take it seriously, since AI in its current iteration is strong enough to manage companies even when its art is quotidian.

Mr. Whipple’s days are actually numbered.

Crunching does not work!

Instead, it reduces productivity to a fraction (often 10% of normal), countering any time added.

You want to improve your productivity, you make your workers happy. Make sure they can eat, have good healthcare, have adequate family life, etc.

We now have studies that counter the crunching myths and time theft myths.

So…a muppet version of the Joker?

If it is, then I failed to get the joke.

Plenty of judges won’t enforce a TOS, especially if some of the clauses are egregious (e.g. we own and have unlimited use of your photos )

The legal presumption is that the administrative burden of reading a contract longer than King Lear is too much to demand from the common end-user.

The 2025 trash icon no longer looks like a trash can. It’s no longer intuitive. At the same time, I don’t actually keep one on my desktop, so meh.

Andrew Tate is the kind of hyper-masculinist that drove me to walk away from my manhood, so rather than being enby (meh, whatever), I’m enby ( not a man)

All attributes that that were once virtuous of men now apply to everyone, especially all the features of adults: The rest of us are expected to conduct ourselves politely and maturely, and to take care of business. But not men, and especially not rich men.

What is interesting is what we’re doing (or not doing) to make sure its over the next time these things happen.

We could push for stronger checks on the executive. Are we?

We use about 20% of our caloric intake (at rest, not doing math) for our bio intelligence. Having superpowers of social organization is expensive and power hungry.

So it’s really no surprise that the computation machines that can run AI require tens of megawatts to think.
