He said it was a fragment of a fossil cuttlefish so I was assuming there was more to this that was um… being used

My previous manager (same company, different team) was an idiot who somehow failed his way up and he gave way too much credit to courses and certificates. He would end up hiring the worst people (both from a team fit and a skills fit). The one candidate I pushed for that didn’t have any of that BS ended up being awesome.

Luckily enough people complained and a few people quit that he got banished to the shadow realm (he’s good at a completely different skillset which requires you to be stupidly annoying like he is, so they moved him to a team of…just himself).

It’s kind of hilarious that “AI” is taking us down without even being actual AI. Maybe hilarious isn’t the right word.

Not saying the stroke turned him into a piece of shit, but if a stroke would turn me into a piece of shit, then I honestly would rather not survive it

This analogy also shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept of god lol.

God is supposed to be omnipotent, omniscient and somehow existing outside of time and space. Like nothing is supposed to happen unless god wills it. The bee keeper can’t keep track of everything happening to every bee and just adjust things with less than a thought.

I know nothing about art and at most, I’ll just think some piece of art is cool.

But this piece had me mesmerized and actually wanting it on canvas to hang on a wall.

This feels like a facetious post because what. There’s no way he’s serious

And then years from now when this all comes to a head, they’re gonna hire some poor schmucks to fix that crappy code

LOL

I was actually thinking about my experience with Lemmy as I was reading this article, particularly how the scrolling is made to generate rage. I don’t filter my feed and just view “all”, but I don’t think I’ve once walked away from Lemmy not in a bad mood.

Now that may be observation bias or something, or a function of how I don’t tailor my own experience, but regardless, Lemmy leaves me angrier when I leave then when I open the app. I’m trying to cut back and eventually quit.

And this is why I have no faith in the recovery of this country. After everything that’s happened, these people are cheering on the destruction of the country.

What’s crazy is that my brain didn’t even understand how to read “inclement” for a second until I saw “inclement weather.”

These are the people who are annoying and useless as shit in IT. Most coworkers I’ve had who are constantly getting certifications or attending conferences contribute very little in the way of work or knowledge. The information required to get those certifications goes in one ear and out the other for them. People like that are more interested in clout than anything.

Not to say anyone taking training or certifications is like this, but there is a specific type obsessed with these “markers” that spend the majority of their time chasing certifications and things of that nature.

On the flip side, I have a beast of a coworker who says she doesn’t do anything tech related outside of work to decompress and she’s easily one of our most productive and likable coworkers.

Nah it’s definitely Kingsman, it’s in the church where Samuel L Jackson is testing some chip in mobile devices he’s given out for free that makes people ultra violent when triggered.

I understand it’s due to the rotten minds of small men, but it’s just so strange to me that they would spend so much time to create a problem that shouldn’t be a problem.

We have plenty of other legitimate problems that need addressing, but instead these idiots are going out of their way to oppress a small percentage of the population who aren’t doing any harm.

Don’t forget about his other grand accomplishments like MyFace or Pee Bibs!

What was the VPN service mentioned? The comment you replied to got removed.

I think in every single Indian movie I’ve seen (which is not a lot), the police are corrupt lol. Even in ones where the main character is a cop, the other police are corrupt.

…were they expecting a Witcher who fights constant life and death battles with literal monsters to not be scarred?

Not the person you’re responding to, but I think that the argument “we shouldn’t do X because no other animals do it” is a bad argument in general and overall weakens your position. Because there are plenty of things that humans do that animals don’t do that are good (like developing and applying vaccines for example).

There are plenty of other valid and good reasons to promote dairy alternatives (such as health or environmental reasons).

I use the same laptop bag for several trips a year, so I often don’t clear out all the pockets. The other day I realized I’ve been flying back and forth with a lighter I got from Vegas 2 years ago because it was buried at the bottom of a pocket. As for why the hell I had it in my laptop bag in the first place, I have no idea.
