Does it count as ‘weirdly aggressive’ that I had a comment removed for an unsourced quotation? Because I was quoting the person I was responding to, directly in the comment I was replying to.

Did that actually work? I’ve gotten in the habit of demand sources for outrageous claims, and it’s almost funny how often it quickly changes its tune when I press it.

Hopefully it actually keeps that up. I’ve put in a dozen or so directives because gpt has some really fucking stupid habits (like rewriting my whole fucking script when I asked for a minor revision, constantly using reserved names, awful syntax and style, etc) and it mostly follows them, but I still have to remind it almost daily to not do the shit I’ve told it not to do.

Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two concepts

Same, and I also thought Kamala would win because our voters couldn’t possibly be dumb enough to elect the dipshit fascist again after how badly it went the first time and how he was talking about all the awful shit he’d do.

I was wrong to put any faith in my fellow citizens, clearly.

#9: Stand and deliver

Dude is totally fucking her knees.

I found Triangle because it was in the same vein as Primer, which is fucking amazing!

I’ve had to use outdated documentation that made the problem worse. So I guess bad documentation is like bad, unprotected sex with a lot lizard that leaves you with an itching or burning sensation.

I had moved away a few years and my mother was homeless due to her own choices and lack of effort to do anything. My wife and I were in town visiting her family, and we decided to take my mother out to dinner. During the meal she was (rightly) complaining about the perils of being homeless and having to watch out for the pigs. I suggested that she look into getting into some government housing. You know her response?

“I don’t want to be the light in he dark.”

If you’re as confused as I pretended I was, she means she didn’t want to live with/around black people. Which was really fucking surprising to me, considering we had lived with, around, and had been friends with all kinds of POC growing up (as you you tend to do in poor and mixed neighborhoods). That level of racism was rather surprising, but she had become toxic as fuck in the years before I moved, so it shouldn’t have been.

What’s a downvote?

Minecraft is the one I keep coming back to year after year. Throw in a massive automation based mod pack and I’m set for months until the save lags to the point of unplayability.

The only way to be smart about the lottery is to not play.

I don’t disagree, but I also thing playing the lottery once in a while is fine if you’re just doing it as a daydream or something. Back when I worked in an office, if the jackpot got high enough we’d do an office pool and everyone that wanted to would throw in 10 bucks or something. And I’ve also done the same myself for the above reason but I play at most once or so a year.

Even if you’re bad with money, take the lump sum and go get a fiduciary advisor to handle it and give you a regular payout. Being a fiduciary advisor is important since it means they are legally obligated to work to the benefit of your money, not lining their pockets. Using something like a trust is another good way to protect you from yourself.

we have decided to ignore it the same way we ignored that an economy based on fossil fuel cars is not sustainable, the same way we ignored rotting and underfunded infrastructure, roads, rails, state and education institutions.

Seeing this sentiment from people in way too many countries right now…

Can you explain? I thought Roman numerals was just chaining together the various letters

I, unfortunately, have had all nostalgia for WinXP removed after having to support it in corporate environments. I wish I could say that was a decade ago, but no, I’m still supporting it periodically.

You’re assuming they actually understand proper data protection procedures. You have a very misplaced amount of faith in the knowledge of the average person. Plenty of people just expect stuff to work and are horrified when they realize they’re not.

I saw that all the time when I worked in mobile phone sales/support.

THAT’S A LOT OF NUTS

Nudist Colony of the Dead is awful and fantastic at the same time. I love getting a friend to go into the movie blind.

The day I got my best bud fucking blazed out of his mind to watch it has to be one of my favorite experiences.

“You are right, I made a mistake. Here is a better answer.” Continues to give wrong answers

The exact same wrong answer. Co-Pilot is especially bad for that. I’m practically giving up using it outside of vs code because the actual copilot AI is dog shit stupid m
