Indeed. It is not quite the same situation, but I experienced differences when I transitioned from slovenly geek to well dressed consultant. Cut my long hair, lost some weight and …

Find your soulmate, Homer!

AI slop that has been told for decades. Lol

Yes. It is about learning all of these things. Knowing what kind of cut you have, and how to treat it to best effect. A very tough gristly cut can be improved by tenderizing. Going…

The boyfriend in the Breonna Taylor case had charges dismissed, so you're right on this. Somehow none of the hail of 32 shots hit him. But - to the OP's point, if you're trying to …

Most people don't show up to the data center protests. Most people probably are probably not aware of planned industrial development in the rural north part of my town. Most people…

If you live in the area, it's easy to say that. There's no protests in the local parks. There's no shouting matches at city council meetings. I say this as a person living in a tow…

The tech industry has spent that last few decades fucking with people: addictive infinite scrolling sites, dark patterns, etc. Now the same assholes are saying their machines will …

I am pretty sure this 3 6's rule was a social media clickbaity phenomenon anyways. There are people this shallow and silly, but they are actually rare.

I love all manner of yard work. My wife says it is like living in an Animal Crossing house, with me always wandering around the yard with various things - shovels, fishing rods, bu…

I do not recall ever hearing of an organized effort to ban ads. These days, good luck getting bipartisan agreement, especially with all the dark money in politics being legalized a…

I am reminded of this one: https://thedailywtf.com/articles/Could-You-Explain-Programmi...

When I was a kid, I recall police coming to our classrooms to fingerprint us. The whole school got fingerprinted. The idea was to help police if kids went missing. Whether or not y…

If you're predisposed to being grumpy, regardless of if the reason is justifiable or not - that's called "grumpy". People generally feel justified about their feelings. Imagine tha…

> It's been said that people that say this are transparently trying to manipulate other people Tech does also attract grumpy people. The reason this idea stuck in my memory when I …

A pirate TV box from China presents a security threat? This is my surprised face.

Well... We got new stories with Indy and they were less good. lol

It's been said that people who do not have a high EQ gravitate towards tech, because machines are easier to understand than people.

> Fate of Atlantis was the best A better Indy movie than the last 2, IMO. I go back and replay it every so often. > The Sam and Max episodes were pretty good Some of them were funn…

Can't take break from AI. Will get laid off.

The current self-host infra is absolutely a yak shaving exercise. My point is, it doesn't have to be once the various solutions mature. Jesus it is irritating to get all the differ…

Disabling my Facebook account helped for me. That was easily the most "bad drug" internet site I was on.

I feel like self-hosted voice and chat assistants - assuming we can get them to be good enough - can help fight this: > The computer + the internet is the worlds greatest fidget sp…

Broadly (in another comment I made) I think I've made sense of it. Regardless of the real population, it's probably not just the Uzbek population sustaining these places. That most…
