Yeah. I got over my hangups about small talk when I started working for a well-known people person with a big, room-filling personality. Watching him “work” several people a day, I realized he was just on autopilot, repeating the same lines over and over like an NPC. I realized, “shit, I can do that.”

A couple years ago my boss asked if we had “an AI.” When I told him we didn’t, he says we should get one. I asked him for what, and he just shrugs and says, “I don’t know, shouldn’t we?”

What the hell are you taking about? They got a promise of a promise from well-established liars (i.e. nothing), and undid a little of the damage incurred to get that worthless promise. There’s no interpretation of this where Dems came out ahead. We’d have been better off if they chickened out from the start.

Yep. First real opportunity the Dems had to meaningfully oppose Trump, and they rolled over like a trained dog

Last time Schumer caved because he didn’t want to inflict shutdown pain on Americans, so he said. This time he did exactly that, then also caved. Motherfucker.

I noticed the price doubled since the last time I ordered a drive, like a year ago.

Seriously. Like a week after the election, keyboard warriors were out in force crowing about the big upcoming fight against tyranny. Like, homie. That was last week. All you had to do was mail a piece of paper, and too many of you couldn’t be bothered.

Only the parts of the economy that are doing bad are Biden’s, remember? The good parts are Trump’s.

I wish that was satire and not an almost word for word quote.

Pity young people today. Don’t be programmers; there’s no future in it.

Fixed

They’re already doing that, starting with “immigrants”

Is “rip” better or worse than “slam”?

At first I misread that as “two dudes who bang occasionally”.

Yeah, except Oracle products already phone home to alert them to start nagging you about a voluntary audit. I once downloaded an old version of JRE to try to configure an old switch and Oracle hasn’t stopped hassling me about it since.

He said he would. Why would he lie? 🙄

Give it a minute. The American general public had at least ten years to get familiar with Trump and what he’s about. His plans for this year were not hidden, even a little bit. They voted him in again anyway just a year ago. Now they’re acting like this was all an unexpected shock.

All we learned from this week is that Americans are capable of remembering not to put their hand on the hot stove a third time, provided their other hand is still on the same hot stove from the second time.

I was not expecting to get into pineapple pizza so much as an adult. First of all, there aren’t many pizzas I’d turn down anyway. But pineapple is fucking amazing. The sweetness and acidity marries perfectly with rich, melty cheese, just like marinara does. And I beg to differ on the garlic: I like a sauce that bites back.

I know that tone is hard to convey in text, and some people just don’t get dry humor. But really? Anyone took the first comment seriously?

Last year, Mamdani claimed to be 33 years old. Now he claims to be 34. Which is it Zohran???

Not really. If the meme had said that white people were genetically inferior because we redo high fives, then it would be racist.

He’s now tied with Biden’s lowest approval rating. This headline is making it sound like he’s in trouble, and he’s not, no matter how much we want him to be.
