I love how all their proposed solutions are similarly disconnected from reality. Like “Let’s just give the poors a big break on income taxes”. Income taxes on lower-income families are already low, plus if nobody has a job in the AI dystopia then what do income taxes matter?
His faith must be weak for it to be shaken so easily.
Certainly coming as no surprise to any queer person over the age of, say, 35 or so. Old enough to remember when gays were social pariahs and our only sponsors were like lube companies and condom manufacturers. Then as it became less acceptable to shit on LGBT people companies started ‘supporting’ pride. Bravely speaking out only once it risked nothing. And predictably when the fascists decide to punish companies for providing their support all these ‘trailblazers’ muzzle themselves with the least surprising amount of alacrity. They were never allies and never interested in anything but our dollars. Fuck the lot of them. We can see who our friends are.
I grew up with a computer in the 80s and for years i would stare at the keyboard while mentally keeping track of what I was typing.
I took keyboarding in middle school and learned to touch type but it took years of practice to break the habits I formed as a child.
Now I’ll be typing something and my husband will walk in so I’ll pause and look over to see what he needs. One time he said “don’t stop on my account” so I started typing again while staring at him.
I can hold a full conversation while doing this but have to slow down to around 60wpm to avoid transcribing the conversation.
I was going to mention that there’s probably a lot of people who don’t know what e621 is, but then I remembered what community I was in.
I am convinced Vodaphone is the worst telco in the world. I have horror stories for a lot of other telcos, but Vodaphone takes the cake for how brazenly they fuck you over.
Nominative determinism
When I worked at B&N way back in the day the policy was to sell any book that was legal to sell, though many would have to be ordered. In that regard, as long as AI slop is legal to sell I don’t have any particular problem with a store selling it.
I wouldn’t buy it, of course. It’s bound to be wretched.
Flock should have splurged and bought two more councilmembers.
My whole career was like this until I moved to the public sector. Now, I wouldn’t say we are over staffed, but my team of 3 has about 2.5 people worth of work, such that if one person is out we can still handle everything, if two people are out it gets stressful.
By comparison it feels like I am exhaling for the first time in 25 years.
Destroying US energy independence while simultaneously demonstrating how unstable foreign energy imports can become is certainly an interesting way to undermine our future. If one were intentionally trying to destroy this country, it’s hard to imagine doing anything differently.
Personally, I look forward to Reminder: Reminder: Reminder 3 the Remindering.
The joke was that they called it OS/2 because it was half an operating system.
I asked my Magic 8-ball what the problem is and it says “Outlook not so good”
Given the performance improvements gained by using NTSYNC which game developers have used for years, I wonder if we’ll see improved performance on games running through Wine/Proton compared to native.
It was during DADT and I wasn’t joking. Though since then I have met more gay marines than any other branch (I guess if you want to prove your manliness to the world…).
The bar has been low for at least 30 years. Marine recruiter wouldn’t leave me alone even after I started hitting on him.
You would be largely correct. Though I was kind of amused with the “Does anyone know how their telephone works?” ca.1994 and then listed a bunch of things that I very much know. So maybe a bad example.
Yeah, Fuentes really hates women.
They were originally developed as translation software, after all.
