To certain kinds of kid (😅) it’s an unignorable urge, have to eventually find out. Satisfying “ka-thunk”, brief pause, sudden weird dangerous magic.
Curiosity is one hell of a drug, lol. Available to all from the jump, so to speak, some folks can’t resist knuckleheadery.

Eh, you’re just…fermenting. Makes most stuff better.

It’s hard to describe great art but ya always know it when ya see it.
OG pepe was in fact a silly lil guy and that’s about all 🤷♂️. But then!
Oh no. (another good art btw, cautiously confident saying not-fascist…so far squint)
- Comment on ‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push 2 weeks ago:
Agreed, but we should include studying the precise wrong conclusions drawn, about how the world works, with their own charming fervor, if describing how that time is spent.
Mustn’t forget HR typically is quite competent, just not at things we easily identify, because that’s part of their competence.
- Comment on ‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push 2 weeks ago:
And yet oddly (and predictably, and likely disastrously, etc. -) some HR departments are among the very first to glibly upload their everything’s to constantly shifting unreliable AI “products”. Not speaking hypothetically 😐
Funny stuff, that.

Who could? I already don’t use them. I wish more would do the same.
- Comment on GTA6 is gonna be crazy 🔥 2 weeks ago:
I’d argue it also thereby normalizes, memetically spreads, and even to a degree enforces the very thing it means to circumvent. Damn this horseshit, forever. Not attacking you, just the self-censoring nonsense.
- Comment on Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant 3 weeks ago:
All jokes aside, what I’m seeing is that folks basically cannot hire competent DevOps (well, not for the idiot rates we’re apparently offering).
There is gold in them thar hills…

Please don’t be ridiculous! We love wacky robot wizard. Wacky robot wizard does it even better than the people we tried paying almost nothing to do it!

(this is the part where you tack on a silly harmless lie at the end, like - “this specific packing optimization improvement was actually discovered accidentally, through a small mini-game introduced into Candy Crush in 2013. Players discovered the novel improvement, hundreds of individual times, within the first several minutes of launch.”)

Yeah, I have some of those already 😅. Was hoping for some weird nixie tube type clock or something, idk.

Dang, that’s dope. Any cool projects using those you’d know of / wanna share?
- Comment on ard 3 weeks ago:
My utterly baseless theory on braggart is that those folks have always been so MF irritating, through history, that people pronouncing the word just tend to do so using a clipped, terse voice.
“Oh, m’lady, pray tell? T’was Kevin spinning such fanciful yarns for thee? (grits teeth) UGH, that braggart”
I don’t care if it’s true.

Oh gotcha. My bad that was clear to me going in, def a whoosh
- Comment on President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems 4 weeks ago:
Sadly you’re almost certainly right, at least eventually.
- Comment on President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems 4 weeks ago:
Feel like elaborating any? Looks like pretty over-the-top satire at a glance, but I’d always rather hear from people than read docs, “search things up” (for fuck’s sake lol), etc.
- Comment on President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think that’s what ya mean with “false flag”, that’s a little specific (could also be me missing your point of course).
But hard agree. Even despite this, it looks good, sure - but let time earn trust, it will find it if there’s any to be found.
Until then - nonetheless, I say reward the moves that look like “we don’t need you”, to fascists. It ain’t much but it’s something.
- Comment on President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems 4 weeks ago:
Oddly enough this positions Anthropic as the sole big player in the (seriously disastrously) complicit landscape of roughly ALL large tech I’m aware of, to say nothing of AI.
I hate to say this, but this really should be (tentatively, but ideally dramatically) rewarded.
Like a large scared dog, on a leash, in a yard with a bunch of even bigger ones. Ones with leashes held by something permanently unreliable, and the dogs know it. And this is the only one that does the “play bow”.
And we don’t get to leave the yard. Clear choices to be made.
- Comment on "Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War — as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens 4 weeks ago:
Seems like his career has largely been lying and making impossible promises, so. The folks who do that well always manage to exit the stage before the magic tincture is revealed to just be piss 🤷♂️
- Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products 4 weeks ago:
I definitely can’t comment on what your situation looks like to you directly, but where I live, I find your description of nothing but “lil Istanbuls” in the “inner cities” to sound super suspicious. Gross, honestly.
In the US that’s roughly the exact sentiment (not far from exact words, truly!) that the most egregious Trump supporters spew everywhere they can. To be clear, these folks rarely visit a city in any capacity and will often tell stories for weeks when they do. All the while getting themselves worked up enough to collect legitimate small arsenals (not hypothetical “har har, Americans”, I’ve known many people young and old like this).
I dunno. I can’t see what it looks like from your eyes, fundamentally. But are you sure you’re as unwelcome as you think in the immigrant shops, or even shopping areas/neighborhoods? I randomly pop into whatever vaguely or strongly “ethnic” shop or restaurant and never have a bad time. Pretty often have some fantastic times! Just go shop there and let yourself be (a little) vulnerable and clueless, is the advice I’d give my lost warped countrymen.
Sounds like you’re describing a different desired experience, I don’t mean to be TOO reductive, but idk. Cultural integration can work both ways, it’s fun and dope to learn and enjoy what other people like, might be my single favorite experience on Earth 🤙
