San Francisco residents shocked, outraged that the conservative losers they elected to the school board for hating the school district have not, in fact, fixed the district's problems and has instead caused the district's first strike in 50 years

now I can be even more ready when it happens

idk if I have it in me to root for Canada against the US if they play each other once the hockey starts up

DRAM stands for Dodge Ram DDR5 stands for Dodge DuRango 5 wake up sheeple, memory prices are a conspiracy by Stellantis!

well i guess i can't really argue

[entering the Avatar state, whirlwinds whipping around me] this newfangled Latin mass is too woke for me, we must retvrn to vernacular mass

it was trendy on here a while ago to say that politicians should speak to voters honestly & like they're capable of understanding policy, and I think immigration law just straight up falsifies that tbph

you people are not conning me into finding out what dumb shit aella is up to now. no.

I think the hidden element in a lot of bad discourse is that when SF leftists talk about yimbys and liberals (derogatory) and so on, like, the prototypical bay area self-identified yimby is one of these dweebs lol

antiquity historian doubters take another L

Imo you shouldn't use "nuclear option" to refer to options possessed by people with launch authority unless you mean their actual nuclear option

This is extremely normal stuff for the US lol, the only unusual part is that it's being done to a wealthy, mostly white, mostly anglophone country rather than somewhere in Latin America or Asia or the Pacific or the Middle East or Africa or Eastern Europe

man Player of Games sure hits different in 2026 than it did when I first read it in college in like 2014

this post never fails to crack me up

it's regrettable that tech as an industry burned trust as freely as they burned money during the last couple of decades. now we have to live through the inevitable outcome.

weird how I never got a response from this person claiming that Waymo safety data was completely fabricated

we must go back in time and prevent this Event

They're not being driven by humans! That's not what the article says! The article says that when the cars see a situation they don't understand, rather than just guessing they stop and ask a human to look at it & tell them what's going on/how to navigate it

Sartre and Beauvoir would 10000000% have been all over the Epstein files, right?

The reason Harris should fuck off into obscure retirement isn't that she's like, personally responsible for Trump 2. The reason is that the Democrats *need* to re-establish the norm that their leaders are held accountable when they suffer catastrophic defeats

Once again mad at just how hard some of the explicitly Christian stuff in the Battle Hymn of the Republic goes. "As He died to make men holy let us die to make men free" is such a fucking banger of a lyric, it's not fair

ACAB absolutely includes anyone who allows the US flag to be flown at half mast when it happens

ok if it were a shitpost "g*vernments" would be pretty funny

Another one for my "Democratic mayors and governors should but probably won't" bucket: they should commit to arresting and prosecuting any federal agent who tries to interfere with a polling station in any way.

land back discourse always has to tiptoe around the problem that most actually-existing formulations depend on the insanely racist premise that history only began for indigenous populations when Europeans showed up to enact it upon them

Man, I should go replay the DRK quests. Why can't the whole game be as well written as the DRK 1-60 job quests & 80 capstone, those are all *so good*

I really wish people would actually read the details of the "AI is making you stupider!!" papers that get thrown around, because half of them don't even actually say anything in that direction and ~all of them are extremely Psych Replication Crisis-core methodologically

Name them shame them

Idk why everyone is so against vibecoding all of a sudden, we've all been running on pure vibes every time we've touched a Java codebase at any point in the last 20 years it's not like anyone ever actually knows what completely invisible shit is in scope & fucking with semantics on any given line

one of the things I really hate about working with coding agents: if they've done something strange they expect you to debug by asking why, but it's usually not immediately obvious whether you can actually trust the answer because it's not made clear whether it came directly from a tool

you know I've been allowed too much caffeine relative to the amount of sleep I've gotten lately when meaningless mashups of common idioms start popping into my head completely unprompted Anyway here's a phrase rattling around my brain today: "where there's smoke there's mirrors"

the nonbinary urge to install Gentoo Linux on things

beside the actual point but now I'm imagining a Nier game where 70 million people merge to create Kaiju Ezra Klein

It's infuriating to me how few people in this industry ever bother using their employers' (often extremely generous, since they know people mostly don't use it!) donation matching for *anything*, but especially for local stuff. Given tech incomes the tax deduction makes it basically free, and yet!

I know I've complained about this before and I know there's huge legal problems with establishing such a thing but I would pay so much money for a service that acts as an interceptor on physical mail to my address and just filters out the most obvious junk

Time is a flat circle wherein the dominant power in the Western hemisphere loops endlessly from cosplaying Athens to cosplaying Rome-cosplaying-Athens to cosplaying Rome-cosplaying-SpartAthens to cosplaying Sparta and then back to cosplaying Athens

Off the top of my head, maybe No Future Part 3: Escape From No Future

Honestly, based on how easily a lot of players fall for this type of shit it feels kind of surprising that play action doesn't have like an 80% explosive play rate

the cube would still have more tractable thermal management than elon's made up orbital datacenters lol

rip Siri Keeton you would have loved arguing about what constitutes a stochastic parrot

ew you spilled your teleology all over my ontology wtf man

the bash 3.1 reference manual is in the publicly released Epstein files lol

One of the biggest problems for the American left is that 65 years of mostly uninterrupted failure selected for people who care a lot about feeling like they Did Something and do not give a single fuck about actually materially changing and improving the world

Science fiction authors everywhere seem to agree: Atheists in space? Obviously Catholics in space? Absolutely Mormons in space? Certainly Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, and Hindus in space? Why not But Protestants? No, not in a million years will even a single Protestant ever travel among the stars

Every 5-6 years the tech industry invents a new class of problem that would be like 80% solved by simply using Erlang. Nobody knows why it does this.

Long Island Firefighters told ICE to take a hike it's so fuckin over
