if you're arguing that violence is a poor way by which to shape a society, preach that to the police. it's literally what they do for a living.

Crowder says stupid words specifically designed to provoke a reaction from people.

196ers react to it.

we had a phrase for how to respond to this type of person/provocation, back in the day. something about food and trolls... but it's long forgotten 😐️

y'all peel your bananas? wtf

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

we're experts at claiming to be expertised. how do you know? because of how confidently i just claimed to be an expert.

my favorite is whenever i encounter the phrase "non-permitted protest". like, the idea that you should ask permission from the authority you're protesting before doing so: it's just so laughably missing the point

me when i take too long to put my seatbelt on in the passenger seat so the car beeps at me and i decide “well if you’re going to treat me like that then i’d better not put the belt on” so it beeps LOUDER and i decide “well if that’s how it is i’m just walking away” but it won’t let me unlock the door while the car’s in motion so i have to pull the e-brake to get it to stop but they know doing that without a seatbelt can be fatal so was there ever really a choice to begin with

how to piss off your garbage man:

1. place garbage outside bins.
2. obstruct all paths to the garbage bins.
3. stack garbage so it's impossible to lift any bin without spilling its contents.

you better be tipping him real good or he gonna leave you

that's Kaoru from Sometimes Even Reality is a Lie in the top-right top-right and it's super wholesome 10/10

how tf do y'all keep up with this lore

bzzzt. "single-handedly" might be read as "not a team player". talk about how you "led a team that performed the upgrade" instead, or if that's not true, maybe you "worked with stakeholders" (i.e. you texted your roommate "i replaced the light btw").

okay so the furries are all in on frontend while the Linux graybeards do the low level C shit. the femboys can't get enough Rust and are somewhere in the middle doing web backends and services, the transfems like Rust too, but also weirder things like Nix or functional programming and lean more towards OS and systems type of stuff right?

i like this because it explains why the furries seem to have more visibility than the other groups, it lets each group have a little bit of space while still all being part of the same team, and honestly it matches the people i've worked with like 80-90%.

the pills in the photo are too oval shaped though. honestly just looks like Aleve to me

will 2024 finally be the year of Linux on the car?

breaking the fourth wall IRL? i think it's brilliant. my generation got halfway there with "meta": "chat" is just the next step past that.

crafting a search term has changed over the years though. the old approach of "type 3-5 keywords into the box and get a list of pages that use those words close to eachother" isn't supported anymore, and the new approach is "type a phrase and we'll look for things semantically related".

at that point, the input box isn't that different from the chatbot box.

half of the clergy said "what's your problem", which would usually mean "the answer to whatever you just asked is so obviously 'no' that you're a bad person just for asking it: what's your problem". i have to respect that some topics are simply off-limits for some people: if you're going to someone asking for advice about a moral quandary and their convictions are strong enough they don't wanna discuss the topic beyond "hell no", i don't fault them for that.

i’m beginning to suspect the devs in this space are in some secret competition over which of them can get us to say the silliest words with complete sincerity

have you tried turning it off and on again?
