Why do people see other people as simple cookie-cutter memes? That attitude used to be laughed at as the douchebaggery that it is. Now it passes for being enlightened and superior.

Kitchen sinks. Instead of doing the dishes they just let them accumulate!

You wouldn’t download a C drive.

Whether it’s now or later, life has to get a lot worse before it gets better. People will have to feel a lot more pain than they’re feeling now before they do more than bitch and moan online.

I seriously DGAF who knows which Mint edition I installed or the brand of flash drive I used.

And many people still believe the myth that competition forces businesses to be efficient or they will fail, and lack of competition likewise makes government inefficient. In truth, a business can be as inefficient as it can afford to be, and the larger and richer the company, the higher that ceiling is.

Doctor of Divinity - in most places a bogus degree given to ministers or bought online.

I used it less than a week ago for a Mint install, worked fine.

Brought that song right back into my head.

Turns out the “artificial” in artificial intelligence is at the user level.

I’ll be darned, VBA is still a thing. I used to be pretty decent at it but haven’t thought about it in years.

Me: Well alrighty then, what other thing do I want to watch…

Refusing to help stop MAGA from taking power is flawed.

That’s the beauty of it - you can!

It’s like Ron Swanson took over the government, but with only his attitude and none of his legit skills.

Those of us who are extremely upset about the state of our country are constantly wondering WTF is wrong with the other ones. I think a large part of it is a slow, progressive dumbing down by our growing addiction to entertainment and convenience. We’ve become a nation of 13-year-olds who think mom is a bitch for making us go to the dentist.

“I don’t have a solution to the problem, I’m just here to reject the moral imperfections in yours.”

I’ve heard that Amazon’s IT is very siloed, with very little internal collaboration. I don’t know if it’s cutthroat competitive or what, but one guy I worked for said he had seen so much wacky work from people who had come from Amazon, especially if it was their first and only job out of school, he didn’t even interview people anymore if they had much Amazon on their resumes.

side note: My all-time favorite linux utility is “fuck”. When you make a mistake and get a command line error, you type the word fuck and it looks at what you previously typed and the error message, and tries to figure out your mistake and what you should have typed instead. Then it types that in for you. If it’s correct all you have to do is hit Enter. Or you can edit first, but it’s usually right. Amazing tool, and doesn’t even use AI, just a list of common errors. It’s been around for years and years. Its mere existence really captures the whole culture of linux IMO.
