Guilty until proven that innocent unless you’re a politician or CEO or celebrity or whatever …

Yup. I haven’t touched .NET in forever … like it’s been 7 years or so but I was there for the 1.0 days. I remember running stuff to code gen db tables to objects and NHibernate and Entity Framework and all that jazz.

I was just like, “wait, why am I writing all of this if it’s just a projection”. Then the Active Record pattern felt limiting when scaling my application. I think after we discovered Dapper… we just stuck with that. It’s a micro-ORM where we write SQL and it maps into C# objects and it just simplified when hydration happens and how. (not sure how much its changed or if it’s even active now, but it was amazing)

I always just force myself to do it by dumping it on my bed so I can’t sleep until I did it.

Then I remember having a few drinks and staying up late and then looking at my bed so angry with myself … I did fold them all and put them away so I was kinda proud I did it but I was upset the entire time lol.

I hate the word “woke” in general after it deviated from it’s intended cause (not by the ones that coined it of course).

However the right wing is very smart is disguising certain things that they pretend to champion and mask it as if they’re doing people a favour. A big part of “woke” (even though they can’t put it into words) is corporate pandering. Which I don’t think the left cares for too much… but that can be stretched to mean anything to be fair. The thing is that some people can THINK they mean: shoving representation to only sell tickets but it can also fit under as hating minorities because they’re taking over. It all fits into the same umbrella.

In any case, black people were in ancient Greece just as there were black cowboys. World was more diverse than some think.

Is this the Bart Australia one? Lisa tells him that toilets spin the other way due to the corealis effect (sp) so Bart keeps flushing the toilet and pushing it the other way so Homer gets cold and hot in the shower and then Marge tells Bart to use a plunger.

Remember how they kept saying their victims of woke being taught in schools?

I hate them.

I’d go further, I think in an ideal world all the countries of the world would be funding these projects and holding these huge tech companies to task.

I think it’s this?

Daniel “Des” Sanchez Estrada faces three decades in prison after he moved a box of left-wing literature in the aftermath of an anti-ICE protest.

“AI artists” 😂

lmao no, I hate driving … always the bus, train or subway. I can barely text and walk let alone text and drive.

I’ve found my attention span destroyed now. I don’t read much any more at all, it’s kinda sad.

I think it’s also because I work from home and a commute used to isolate me and I’d be forced to read.

I remember calling NFTs a scam and my friend hated me saying that.

When I use the phrase NFTs I was referring to the culture, usage and trading and all of that jazz. He was specifically talking about the technical implementation. So there was that …

However, he said, “just because 99.9% of NFTs are scams, that doesn’t mean you can call it a scam.”

I then said, “if 99% of anything is a description of it, I think we can safely use that descriptor”

I think Rogan believes he’s in charge though. He talks like he’s making his own decisions.

Undoubtedly he’s being manipulated but yeah at the very least he’s a useful idiot.

I can imagine people testing the hell out of it on blue cheese and rotting blue cheese and even more immature tests like when someone farts or something.

I didn’t put a dime into my headset after Meta took it over so I didn’t pay much attention but I don’t know of many innovations from that 80B. I’m sure there’s people who really work in it which can name some tools or libraries or games they thought were great but I don’t think anything broke into the mainstream? The main VR games that I know of are HL: Alyx, Beat Saber, and Superhot. I can’t believe with 80B there hasn’t been another die hard game or application that hasn’t broke into the mainstream.

I love Nintendo. I’ve bought every single one of their consoles. I am skipping the Switch 2 though.

I feel like giving someone a Switch 2 is a bit like a white elephant. I can’t say that I’m a fan of what’s happening lately. It’s a shame because the industry is where it is because of them. It’s a shame they can’t treat their customers a little better.

There’s something that happens to your brain when you get lots of money it seems.

Sam Bankman-Fried the disgraced crypto entrepreneur was an effective altruist with a few of his coworkers and their goal was helping people. I was reading up on them and it was initially about feeding people and earning money to give to others. When they started getting more and more money they were like: “what if there’s a zombie outbreak?” Obviously, we’re really smart and society needs people like us to survive so we should be spending money on private islands and having our own country to make sure we can keep humanity going or some shit. It was weird.

Despite what anything thinks about Bill Burr now … I think he had a really good point about these “end of the world” catastrophes – I simply don’t want to be alive for any of them. I don’t wanna be scrounging around the remnants of humanity with a dying ecosystem and dwindling human race.

I like it when John Oliver was talking about how shit Ivanka is and said something like, “it looks like the apple doesn’t fall far from the orange”

I skimmed it but anyone that’s been or going to go to these places call me if they still ask for a tip :P
