  I learned how to do econometric proofs. I learned regression and probabilities and all kinds of bullshit. I also learned to get RESLLY good at all kinds of shit in Excel.

  Guess which helped my career on an actual practical way the most? Guess which made people seek me out at work for help with things?

  Sometimes Excel is what’s available. Sometimes it’s just faster to do it that way too rather than code up some ridiculously overdone solution in some programming language. Having both skills etc is best, but don’t shit on opening an excel and just fucking getting it done, whatever it is.

  If used right, it can also be a great equalizer with those less technically skilled in your workplace. You can quickly format and tune things and even layer a little bit of vba to make their lives easier without having to get into the complexity of an entire bespoke coded solution.

  So apparently if you aren’t a fucking scientist, then dick pics are okay to send to you.

  Wait for something fucking idiotic like:

  “U.S. government to implement 5,000% tax on new solar technology…”

  California’s general mishandling of nature and natural resources is a great example of what I’m talking about. We don’t have a fucking clue, yet we think we know better, and no lessons get learned despite how clearly wrong our solutions are. Like the wildfires and water “management.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plant Slurs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Then we go and define things as “invasive” as if the world hasn’t been ever-changing for billions of years. As if we know better and need an environment to remain exactly as we found it, forever. As if nature won’t just fucking figure it out.

  Okay, CoPilot, log in to ChatGPT, use it to program The Elder Scrolls 6. Add an online mode and micro transactions.

  Now when they say “defend”…

  Cause like, they don’t seem to give a shit about legal system stuff anymore.

  What I mean is, am I donating to put someone on the phone with a lawyer, or am I paying to put a piece in their hand and help them fucking do something about these assholes?

  You mean 200 word AI prompts?

  You’re in the wrong argument. The argument was about speeding and you’re trying to bring up recklessness. You don’t justify bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Based on experience, I don’t trust random assholes to determine for themselves when a rule is unreasonable. You’re unreasonable with this take and presumption about yourself. This makes you dangerous to society. You’ll prove that even more as you disagree.

  You do not get to determine on your own that your actions have mear 0 consequences. That’s some level of psychopathic thought and just reinforces why we have some rules.

  AoE III was excellent. It explored new ideas and did it well. As a long time AoE fan who played all of them since the first, AoE II is massively overhyped, and AoE III is unfairly shit on.

  Also they were voluntold to do Halo Wars, amd they did a good job on it. It’s a good game, and it did an excellent job on console with a controller scheme, which was impressive at the time.

  Ensemble got shafted. They were held up at the time as the leaders of RTS and Microsoft didn’t give a fuck. Just used and abused.

  1. Escalates the angry driver situation.
  2. Takes photos while driving.

  Neither driver here is in the right.

  They’re really good at killing them though. I’ll never forgive the death of Ensemble.
