The rule should be that if you can't afford to buy anything, they should just stop showing you ads.

Americans will suffer the consequences of the policies they chose to support? I sure hope so.

What’s happening: Napoleon is master of Europe. Go deeper: Only the British Fleet stands before him.

"the fascist international must be defeated. what do you mean this also includes my favorite apartheid state?"

just thinking about early 2000s SA forums & how what would be happening now is a thread in GBS of people photoshopping charlie kirk's dying face into all sorts of hilarious and unlikely scenarios in the hopes that they'd get their image published on the front page with a pithy subtitle from lowtax

Lowtax is responsible for the state of the world and is no longer alive to be punished for it and that is perhaps the greatest injustice

ngl I’m losing faith in this administration

he was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest

I kinda don't get the hype behind Ghostty.

Eric Adams bribing one person with cash inside a potato chip bag but then bribing another person with potato chips inside a bank envelope

This is actually almost a dril skeet

Not for nothing, but part of the reason I don't use Brave is because they advertise crypto-scams like this one.

This is a very common tankie take when it comes to China on democracy and human rights. My favourite genre is ‘we shouldn’t force the whole LGBTQA+ rights thing on China because it’s a western invention’ which implies there were no queer people before white folks came along.

“My sweet daughter Dorie, I’ve written a book about you.” “Awesome! What’s it called?”

me: i could do this quickly and imperfectly 🧠: lol no me: well i guess i’ll just never start then

It's so funny how these guys say "import the third world, become the third world" and then their own policy preferences end up converging with the taliban

"New York City private-sector-grocery-store enjoyer" might be the fakest pose this phony has ever struck

me, a simple programmer raised in the red clay of georgia, walking into a fancy math party: snooty math people drinking wine: ah yes elegance is when you omit stuff

Ban the teaching of cursive and replace it with LaTeX

If a meeting at work was going too long and was bullshit and everyone was sitting there doing bullshit you should be able to put on special socks and walk out. Your coworkers would see the socks and go “oh she’s a Gooferin, those are her religious socks when bullshit happens and she gets to leave”

real contender for the defining quote of american christianity here

I was going to say "good on them for supporting them this long" and then I realized that the M-series came out only in 2020 and they were still selling Intel products until, like, 2023. Still, supported it longer than I would have bothered to.

The idea that AI destroys water is one of those beliefs you can only have if you use beliefs as an identity marker and not as a way to understand how the world works.

using computers is so fun

foot is probably the best terminal available on linux for people who don't need to blit characters to their terminal at 20,000 fps aka normal people

I want to live forever so I can pursue my interests. I want to take my config files to the afterlife. I want to discover why my TV is arp-ing my laptop in Valhalla.

Right now I feel the way about software engineering the way Gandhi felt about western civilization - sounds like a good idea.

Sometimes, when I'm spending time editing config files, I think - there must be a way I can take it all with me.

I like when people post “it’s going to get worse” because it’s like ok guess I’ll just keep doing the same thing but be sadder, thanks!

like bernie is an old left labor guy who thinks immigration is bad for american workers and has for his entire career outside of a brief period in 2020. i love bernie but it's not a mystery what he means here and we don't have to pretend this isn't a big flaw

This is the most inhibited performance of the YMCA Dance that I've ever seen.

Allowing consumers to buy automobiles directly from the manufacturer and thereby liquidating car dealers like they were kulaks in the 1930s Soviet Union is the single most powerful move Democrats could make next time they have a trifecta (if that ever happens again).

every new restaurant in every major city is either called Thistle+Thorn and thinks adding turmeric to brussel sprouts makes them worth $30 or is called Burger Bitch and has a neon sign in the window that says “im gonna fuck a hamburger”

Congratulationz to Sir @AnthonyHopkins on 49 years sober,,, FORTY-NINE,!! WOOWWW,,!!!

if you follow 10k+ people your account should just automatically get nuked. no good reason to ever do that

You know, I think Pfizer Kaiser should have caught on more than it did in the lockdown era. Is it just me?

Yet another turns their back on Dionysus and his suffering. Ashes to ashes, but who burned it down? 😔

if OpenAI doesn't achieve breakout and end up with huge revenues, they're going to end up paying Microsoft's investment back to Microsoft in Azure credits, and then Microsoft will own all of their IP, because Sam Altman is a fucking idiot and signed a devil's bargain with some very good lawyers

the problem which OpenAI has is that no one is paying for their very high operating costs and in order to sustain the valuation they need in order to avoid getting swamped by companies with way more resources than they do, they need to bid on a pretty inflexible compute pool

i’ve been watching a couple of tiny desk concerts and i didn’t enjoy them at all. they should be answering emails instead. where are their computers

Not the main thing here, but when real-life Einstein came to America, his visa was personally protested by organizations including the Women's Patriot Organization movement. If he were alive today, he'd as likely arrive under a refugee visa (or J-1) than under an O-1

Mfers will be like “this book contains all the ancient wisdom of western civilization” and the book will say “eat not the pinecones of the tree”

Sometimes wrt math LLMs surprise me in good ways (e.g. show it two steps in a solution and it can tell you which factorization was used to get from one to the other) but uh I've also seen some really really elementary errors and a solutions manual is not the place for a vibesy answer.

I’m having a conversation with my mom about something I want for Christmas and a week later Santa gives it to me. When will we pass privacy regulations
