Tech/Product/Startups. I dabble in a lot. Everyone can build something amazing.

restaurants are a scam. most restaurants secretly have a kitchen in the back that you’re not allowed to see where they prepare all the food

I once read a comment saying something like "if you choose not to laugh at farts, your life will contain less laughter but still the same amount of farts". I think about that a lot.
Some people are unhappy and always will be and deserve to be.

No Slack I don't want to use my Macbook microphone and my Airpod speakers. Who would want that? Just use the system default FFS. I can pick my device from the menu bar.

I’d challenge anyone who thinks this is a change in democrat effectiveness to reflect on democrats’ work toward universal healthcare or any other wildly popular policy they’ve been unable to make meaningful progress on for the last several decades.
"democrats plan to color coordinate to communicate opposition" is the biggest loser shit i've ever heard. School Spirit Week-ass action. "I do not give facebook my permission"-ass action. are they hitting themselves in the head with hammers at every DNC event

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

it has been said before but one problem is that when some people say 'the economy' they're talking about poor people affording food and housing, & when some other people say 'the economy' they're referring to a chart of how happy rich people are

Interesting, we built this road for cars, but hardly anybody uses it. Clearly, this is a waste of taxpayer money.
Funny how the same logic gets thrown at bike lanes, ignoring how their lack of safety and poor design often keep people from using them.

I thought this was a post about Kubernetes observability. I’ll be outside touching grass if you need me.

Climate change is a huge problem and everyone should do what they can but I strongly believe blaming individuals instead of corporations is a corporate tactic to obscure the key causes, create personal guilt, and discourage people from organizing for real progress.
