i can make this post because Lisp got me interested in programming and i’ve been writing Haskell professionally for nearly a decade now so of fucking course i did exactly this sort of bullshit.

how does gemini keep getting such high scores. it's low key moronic ime

guys, "the judges at the ICC are being sanctioned by the USA and can't access their iphones or bank accounts" and "why aren't any countries banning twitter or prosecuting elon musk for owning a site that manufactures CSAM" stories are the same story

Now taking applications for this years arch nemesis if anyone feels like hunting me across the globe

sorry for being poor. i didn't mean to do it.

The way we need to market this shit is to do what conservatives did for the past 30 years and write books like “The ten forbidden truths you’re not allowed to say on politically correct tv” and then it’s just cities are mostly fine and it’s good to get a flu shot

oh no. i got an itch to write a smart contract. i haven't had this in over 6 years

OpenAI has been openly chasing regulatory capture for years; even back in 2023 Altman was going around talking about requiring licensing if you use too many FLOPS to calculate something - absolute fucking sicko shit

The leaders of the Democratic Party do not speak and operate as if the opposition is fascist so why would a voter who doesn’t spend every day hooked on all this think so?

will i ever stop feeling dumb for recognizing the potential of eth but still not buying any in 2015 or does this feeling last forever?

A body at rest tends to remain at rest, especially when the body has a cat on her lap and it’s raining outside…
