I don’t exist for your enjoyment.

having lived with teenagers in the house, I can’t say it’s the worst idea…
This is boomer humor style nonsense. All this really means is you’re a terrible parent.
I have lived with teenagers and still do. I’ve found it no more difficult than any other stage.

Bold of you to assume they’ll use Java and not some obscure language picked based on the need to pad their resumes.
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 1 week ago:
Look at this red neck hick over here drinking cheap beer who things he’s a god because people tolerate him enough to use him for his tiny island of knowledge around cnc machines.
The only line of work he can maintain because the machine doesn’t judge him for his horrendous stench and ogre like appearance.

Most painful comment so far
- Comment on Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome 1 week ago:
Google would still own android and may not be inclined to keep chrome as the default. That is a significant portion of the browser’s user base.
With default search engine agreements being threatened, it may shake out where Google and Firefox agreed to make Firefox the default android browser in exchange for keeping Google their default search engine.
- Comment on Parents turn to smartwatches for their children amid global phone screen-time pushback 1 week ago:
The raise your child to use a device appropriately. Waiting until they are a teenager is far too late to form the appropriate habits around self limiting screen time.
I get that no one wants to blame the device but this is clearly a parenting issue and I say this as someone who has on average raised far more children than anyone in my generation.
But go ahead and lean into the articles that blame on the evil algorithms and the evil corporations. Personal and parental responsibility is hard anx blaming outside influences is easy.
Raise your children or someone else will do it for you.
- Comment on Parents turn to smartwatches for their children amid global phone screen-time pushback 1 week ago:
13? How many of their friends have phones because I would assume their using phones, just not one you gave them and I know from experience other parents do not do the most basic of filtering in their kids devices.
- Comment on Parents turn to smartwatches for their children amid global phone screen-time pushback 1 week ago:
It’s a technology sub and I’ve been around long enough to know this is where the morons of the internet hang out but not everyone is as aware of the pattern.
- Comment on Parents turn to smartwatches for their children amid global phone screen-time pushback 1 week ago:
A modern day equivalent of “we don’t own a tv”
- Comment on Chinese EV maker BYD says new fast-charging system could be as quick as filling up a tank 2 weeks ago:
If China is subsidizing the vheicle and we purchase them here, that means we are drawing from China’s subsidies.
The claim is this is to save industries but the notion that was need to save specific industry is never questioned.
We’re told we’re protecting jobs but that’s bullshit. We’re only protecting the profits of capitalists.

Whomp whomp. You get what you pay for.

It intelligence is wealth than why did Eistein and any of the other hundreds of scientists whose discovery our world rests upon all without becoming billionaires?
- Comment on Who needs retirement when you can buy an asset that loses value over time? 3 weeks ago:
The first rule of investing is accepting you are not smarter than the market.
Not having that money invested is a huge mistake.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 3 weeks ago:
Americans actually pay a higher effective tax rate than in civilized countries, while receiving fewer services in return.
Only the very weathy have a lower effective rate because they use discretionary spending to purchase lax tax laws.
America is a shit hole country in deep deep denial.

So he bought a house for 6k 50 years go and now has to pay 2k in property taxes each year. If he was renting that wouldn’t cover two months.
Does he also complain that the sales tax on candy bar is more than he used to pay for a candy bar when he first bought his house?
- Comment on Microsoft Outlook servers down, reports say 4 weeks ago:
All of that can be equally true for cloud infrastructure. There is argument that the cloud company is more incentivizing to use 2 year olds to save labor costs.
In the cloud admin world, no one knows you’re a toddler.
- Comment on Microsoft Outlook servers down, reports say 4 weeks ago:
On-prem allows you 100% control on the downtime. You build internal trust by deciding when to upgrade, availability of hot swap, rollback, etc.
Cloud is just trust and it’s out of your control if they break that trust.
- Comment on Your boomer parents after giving you the most outdated job-seeking advice of your fucking life [Day 86] 4 weeks ago:
Instructions unclear.
Threw a brick through each window at the local strip mall.
- Comment on Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks 4 weeks ago:
With all the rounds of layoffs they’ve had, their remaining employees would need to be quite stupid to give a shit what this disloyal piece trash says.

With free cancer!
- Comment on Google’s ‘Secret’ Update Scans All Your Photos 5 weeks ago:
The official reason they dropped it is because there were security concerns. The more likely reason was the massive outcry that occurs when Apple does these questionable things. Crickets when it’s Google.
The feature was re-added as a child safety feature called “Comminication Saftey” that is optional on a child accounts that will automatically block nudity sent to children.
- Comment on Chad rule 5 weeks ago:
Yep.
It’s funny how you’re acting superior but have no problem judging the world I must live in as being shitty.
The difference between you and I is that I don’t lie to myself. It’s a subtle difference but actually leads to living in a world that is less shitty.
Maybe one day you can join me but you’ll need to let go of that gate your keeping yourself behind.
- Comment on Chad rule 5 weeks ago:
This is fundamentally no different than making fun of someone for obvious plastic surgery. Choices were made.
This guy is clearly choosing to look like this.
- Comment on Common Ground 5 weeks ago:
They weren’t lied to by the right. They were lied to by themselves.
Themselves are the problem and one cannot not remove one from the other.
Those themselves will never be our allies. They will slink right back to their comforting lies at the first convenient moment, betray us, and laugh about it.
- Comment on Common Ground 5 weeks ago:
Charlie Brown and the football gag.
Day after day.
Year after year.
There are always people on the left that think this is the time things will be different. They’ve been yanking it away at the last moment since before the civil war.
It’s time to stop being a Charlie Brown.

- Comment on HELP! How do I help educate my son about his body when I know nothing about boys?? 5 weeks ago:
I agreed. There is more to raising a son than discussing masturbation.
Being a women is not an excuse for not being able to research these topics around male adolescence.
There are tons of materials and without more information it is not possible to know what the knowledge gaps are and op needs to start reading to find theirs.
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 5 weeks ago:
Except the most expensive phones on the market are android devices.
It’s actually incredibly difficult to tell if someone has the latest iPhone or one that is five years old.
