Tim Cook was a good transitional douchebag CEO to soften people up before the full Gavin Belson experience.

He died but he killed four, left two in critical condition and the rest of the Zetas fled. At 77. Total bad-ass.

Clearly, you should probably upgrade your computer with a clue.

Them spying on us and also selling our personal information is the same as them paying us? Wild take. “We spent money on this bait so you would walk into this trap. Say thank you.”

It feels human-trumpety. Editing to the original to add blackface is not a subtle move.

Is it really a buyback if you’re only leasing the device?

Groooooss. You’ll own nothing and you’ll like it.

Fucking easily? “Claude, convert these Postman JSON collections to JMeter load tests with switchable environments based on this shared config file we already use for our existing JMeter tests” when you barely know Postman OR JMeter and you can still do it in half the time of a developer who knows both.

If that’s another language to you, how about “Making people print this job application PDF, fill it out, scan it and email it to us is insane, old-timey silliness from the turn of the last century. Convert the PDF to a fillable form, and make sure the fillable fields are properly located between the lines of the field names they correspond to” and then it just does it and now applicants can apply online and you didn’t have to pay an expensive human to do menial one-off work in applications they don’t really know.

There’s a ton of dumb, time-wasting shit you don’t have to do anymore because you can just make the robot do it. It’s not all just straight plagiarism and stealing artwork and dead Internet propaganda-bot garbage. You can use it for good or evil. The power generation and inefficiency are still unsolved problems, the super aggressive build-out arms race is pure idiocy and we absolutely need to slow this whole thing down, and I’ll never forgive these greedy fucks for ruining the PC components market every few years, first crypto now this, but there are use cases that allow people to do things they couldn’t otherwise do.

Properly used, AI is a force multiplier. Improperly used, it’s a resource-burning race to the bottom, but if you can’t think of legitimate uses for a general-purpose software robot you can tell to do tedious stuff in plain language and it’ll just do it with a bit of guidance, then I don’t know what to tell you.

You obviously blame Cyril.

The decision of which reciprocating saw is the best value?

Putin isn’t Russia, dipshit, he’s one asshole that’s rapidly destroying Russia, but as long as he’s in charge Russia can’t be trusted at all, similar to how the US can’t be trusted, domestically or abroad, as long as Trump is at the helm

Neither has Snopes

They would sell you a game on 20 discs if you’d buy it that way. The price of discs is negligible. They are trying to kill the availability of used games so they can charge $60 for 10 year-old games because there are no other options.

.8 birth rate is going to be a huge problem for South Korea in a few years. The rest are just “oh no, capitalism’s infinite growth will be finite after all”

The regime that slaughters and oppresses its own people so heavily is going to have a tough time here, even though the US is guilty of what they accuse.

Lots of Americans cross their sevens. Not the majority, but I see it all the time.

You’ve been eating protein and building muscle and your weight goes up? That’s literally what you’re trying to do. You don’t eat a bunch of protein and lift weights to lose weight. That’s what you do to build muscle. Drinking lots of water will also make you heavier, because it turns out water is not weightless. The number on the scale is much less important than body fat percentage.

He’s not even making most of those responses to Trump. His social media manager is doing it. He’s still just another Howard Schultz. “I like the idea of equality as long as rich people don’t have to reduce the rate at which they become richer.”

All Latin languages have mass nouns and most others do, too. Who refers to water as a plural? Air? What they lack is pattern recognition. "Everywhere I see this word, it’s singular, but I don’t notice things no matter how often I see them so I’m putting an s on the end "

The issue here is more likely having no idea what RAM stands for and thus not knowing that it’s a mass noun in the first place.

David Brooks has been writing opinion pieces for them for ages, and he’s the biggest apologist for fascists I’m aware of. He pretends so hard that he’s a pragmatic centrist, but his real message is always just that we should all just behave while the rich rob us blind, which they are morally correct to do.
