I get it now. As the Firesign Theater said: “ha ha that’s very logical.”

I don’t understand what you meant here. OP did mean to write “unhealthy*”.

It’s weird, I got laid off by a west coast tech giant and they gave me two months’ notice, and they were happy to have me doing nothing that whole time (and I’d had nothing to do for about six months prior to that). I was remote so I guess they felt that I couldn’t fuck shit up on the way out.

Overall I think preventing discussion is healthy
Did you mean unhealthy?

Being a nitrous fiend is bad.
Eventually you feel like one of those dudes dying on Mt. Everest.

Any place where you don’t step on rats when you get up to pee in the middle of the night is OK by me. Yes, I have lived in places where I stepped on rats at night.

You eventually reach an age where you want the bed at your center of gravity so you can just tip yourself on and off.

My neighbors tend to retaliate when I crank music and I value silence at least some of the time. Good headphones are enough for me.

“As a developer given I am working on page X Then all functionality of page X is correct”
Heh, I know exactly what accent to read this with.

My god, that’s worse than Wonder buying shitty software from Sweetgreen for $186 million.

Dude’s worst crimes are being addicted to meth and listening to Walt’s advice.
I guess assassinating the other chemist qualifies as “listening to Walt’s advice”, but murder is technically his worst crime.
- Comment on Oracle Layoffs: Tech giant to slash 30,000 jobs as banks pull out from financing AI data centres | Company Business News 6 days ago:
I was laid off in 2019 by a large west coast tech giant as part of a mass layoff. We had the option of trying to find a new internal job but every job posting involved AI (seven years ago!) and nobody that I knew even got a reply from any application. Now I’m a school bus driver and 100X happier even though I make like 1/5 of what I used to make. The plot twist is that AI is probably going to replace school bus drivers sooner or later, flattened children be damned.

A friend of mine had a Commodore 20 with no tape drive. Not only could we only have one game at a time installed, but also we had to manually type in the code for the game each time.

I remember getting a Hotshot/286 card which allowed me to upgrade my 8088 to a 286. I don’t even remember what programs I used back then but I’m sure they ran a lot faster after that.

Anybody here remember Plastic, circa 2000? It was a forum kind of like Reddit, although I don’t remember if it had upvotes or not.

I can’t believe people still believe Bigfoot is real. It’s so obviously just a Yeti in a gorilla suit.

I give peanuts to crows but sometimes one squirrel shows up and chases the crows away (and there are usually 5 or 6 crows there). I don’t get it – this particular murder will gang up on red-tailed hawks and chase them away but they’ll just sit there looking sad at the one squirrel as he eats the peanuts.

I’m so glad my parents and brother have (nearly) the same politics as me. Having to regularly deal with trumpers (without being able to laugh in their faces as with my co-workers) would be a perpetual torment. My brother did have an inexplicable phase of loving Putin, but that passed quickly.

Every cybertruck I see where I live has some company logo or wrap on it. It’s great advertising – it lets me know never to hire that company for anything.
The most hilarious one is for a company that does waterproofing. Like yes, I’m going to hire a waterproofing company that just spent $100K on a vehicle that can’t go through a car wash.
