• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sam Altman and husband reportedly working to genetically engineer babies from having hereditary disease⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  This is just whitewashing eugenics.

  If he said they were trying to create a super race, everyone we would be up in arms.

  But when they frame it as trying to cure babies, they get away with a lot more.

  There is a reason this is illegal in the US and UK.

  My favorite thing about Laplace and Fourier transforms was making a fabulous looking F and L.

  Their functions are so fucking spectacularly useful, but I just loved writing it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I stopped my Ring subscription but kept the doorbell camera.

  It wasn’t until a year later when I was moving and the house was almost completely empty (still had internet/wifi setup) and I looked at the wifi app and saw that the ring doorbell still had significant data usage.

  They were clearly still capturing my doorbell video.

  Eh, fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨reaction⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would say, “That’s not a burger.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is endorsing the use of personal Copilot in workplaces, frustrating IT admins⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My company actually got their own internal use AI that supposedly is safe for client information and is firewalled and not scraped.

  It is not very useful, constantly is out of service, and I don’t trust for a second that it is secure/not scraped.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon, Google, Microsoft reportedly warn H-1B employees to stay in the US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This isn’t about deporting people.

  This is about new H1-B’s coating $100k.

  Companies want their H1-Bs back on the U.S. so they can avoid paying the additional cost as long as they can.

  I do think companies abuse these visa’s, but this is a really fucking stupid approach.

  MAGA really has gone full retard. There is not two brain cells among them.

  They are absolutely incapable of affecting any change without causing consequences that are worse than the perceived initial problem.

  I guess it doesn’t matter when your base, all the way up to the VP, are a bunch of bootlicking morons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The man show was a left wing attack on incels.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s still on. He is just not getting his contract renewed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The man show was a left wing attack on incels.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You may be right.

  I only have time for one show though, and for now, that is Colbert.

  I do think what happened to JK is beyond fucked up and it is just another peg on my radicalization meter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The man show was a left wing attack on incels.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This show is the reason I have always dislike him.

  He was kind of funny on “Win Ben Stein’s Money”, so I initially looked forward to this show.

  But then I watched it and it kind of pissed me off. Like, is this what a “man” is supposed to be? A sexist douchebag with a terrible sense of humor.

  It was a TERRIBLE show. Glorified womanizing and binge drinking.

  Despite what he says now, that was who he was. He shouldn’t have had a career after that.

  But he’s just a talking head. He doesn’t write his material, he just reads teleprompters and has celebrity friends.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Senators say US is complicit in Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Gaza⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little Pea Shooters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really. It does pull some in, but not directly at earth, and the majority is either “eaten” by Jupiter or slung out of the system.

  Jupiter’s pull is so great, compared to earth, that the ones that do get past or then pulled more towards the sun.

  At least that is how my professor described it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Little Pea Shooters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also a shield for earth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who is the enemy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can attest to that. I am an EE that moved into Construction Management (much more fulfilling).

  I am running projects that I used to engineer the designs for.

  I fucking hate my engineers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who is the enemy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to gather that then smoke does NOT smell like cum too.

  Or is that why you love it? 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who is the enemy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Call me...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought he was a great contributer. It was disappointing to see it fall apart like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Call me...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s the thing…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨makes more sense than this shit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck Hillary and the DNC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shamelessly stolen from Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Facts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shamelessly stolen from Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You think that’s an insult?

  I’m commenting on a behavior, not a person.

  Doesn’t matter if are not OP, your sentiment is clearly the same and my comment still stands.

  Your comment, however, screams that you are faux offended, so you can feel like you are on the high road.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shamelessly stolen from Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was highlighting the fallacy in your argument, but that was clearly a waste of time.

  You obviously don’t know the history of veterans in the U.S. or what brought this type of culture to the U.S.

  You probably see the military as an extension of a government you hate (understandable) and think of its members as fully endorsing said government (not correct at all).

  That you get butthurt over a discount says a lot about you though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shamelessly stolen from Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it was a joke, but people really are butthurt about vets.

  History just loves to repeat itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shamelessly stolen from Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, people asked for a vet discount… at a bar?

  I can see a restaurant, but a bar!?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shamelessly stolen from Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You get pissed at senior discounts too?

  😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do AI data centers manage to *consume* water, but when I cool my house, my A/C *makes* water?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My HVAC system has an inside and outside air source.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They can.

  My wife is working on a solar project whose off taker is a data center that is doing exactly this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG NSFW Giveaway⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I did not give a shit about NSFW games but I fucking hate cebsorship.

  Go GoG, I’m going to buy one from them now!

  … for the protest of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And nothing of value was lost⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t the fascists even argue that empathy is toxic?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UwU brat mathematician behavior⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As an EE, I used both. Def not a mathematician though. Fuck that, I just plug variables into programs now.
