  What’s the overlap of “people who blindly fire at perceived trespassers” and “people who are going to say ‘ah, Maria, my Amazon deliveryperson’”?

  Any relation to Don?

  I truly did not!

  A lot of cheeto dust on the fingers of that first mod action

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Substack says it will not remove or demonetize Nazi content⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. Unfortunate that many times this is met with some smug shit about “wanting echo chambers”

  Not wanting a feed full of modern phrenology and a 20 page analysis about how this weeks 13 year old black kid getting murdered by the cops for looking at them wrong is “totally fine and actually should happen more” does NOT mean I “want echo chambers”

  Gosh this giant group of White Nationalists wants to come to my house for my birthday, well wow golly gee every opinion is a rich and valuable thing better let them in

  I do respect the human involvement, respect them enough in fact to expect them to reflect on the ramifications of their actions/creation.

  Some LinkedIn tech bro who’s trying to get enough venture capital to boil the oceans using some overwrought genAI bullshit to create electoral campaign material is also “a human”, but being willing to create that horrid output with its consequences leaves both the product and producer open to critique

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You know this headline is fake because Cybertruck fan boys would never ever act like it’s anything but a 100% perfect personal space shuttle + superiority license

  Ty for this great pasta moment

  “What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I’ve authored multiple FOSS libraries, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret application deployments on Production and I have over 300 confirmed commits. I am…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What does a PhD mean?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Frustrating to say the least. I feel my PhD accelerated learning in all directions. Not from the program content itself, but the skills involved in the ingestion of high volumes of dense information. This idea that the borders of my world don’t extend past some yadda yadda about some tiny subclass of a field is some silly goosery.

  Can those “skills involved” be learned elsewhere? Sure, this is just the path I took. Can phDoctors be single minded or general idiots? Sure, I’m an idiot. Do we need some single minded people? Sure, amazing things can be accomplished by singular focus.

  But it isn’t a mandatory condition or experience of a floppy hat assed (sword in some countries) recipient of this degree.
