This is all stupid bullshit but I remain pretty disgusted at how things like marriage and having children are treated like Xbox achievements instead of actually loving and caring for someone else. Yeah I’m going to work 70 hours a week but definitely need a spouse, her name is Beth or something idk

The new slang isn't worse, kids aren't worse, you're just old now, and grumpy, and no longer have commitment to sparkle motion. The kids today are hilarious
It’s funny how incensed people will get about something like 6-7, then a sentence later talk about a haircut being a vibe. All slang is stupid, which is what makes it fun.

“But it’s annoying when my kid says it!” Friend, you say “adulting.”

Yeah. The Bluesky app has a zero tolerance policy towards wishing death on people.

because the USB-C connector supports multiple protocols besides simply USB (like displayport, thunderbolt, etc.), I conclude that the "C" in "USB-C" stands for "cloaca"

The very big thing to remember about fascism is that it doesn't work. It fails at what it attempts to do. You never, ever, have to pretend that it has benefits which outweigh its harms.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
yeah, just out of interest, how many people choose the pen on the right for real work or art? See a lot of them in professional workplaces, do you?

i cannot imagine being foolish or naïve enough to let an LLM submit commands in my terminal. if you need that you do not know the terminal well enough. go read some manuals. build a skill.

If you have “sincere concerns” about trans athletes in sports, all it means is that you have given yourself a rationale for your bigotry that you sincerely believe exonerates you for aligning to a far-right tactic for marginalization and exclusion.
