People doing crazy shit instead of just finding a ladder.

God how I miss interoperability. I went to college right as all the disparate chat systems started coalescing into everyone just using Facebook, and it was super useful being able to chat across all the platforms (including FB) from one program

But I need my armpits for THE STINKING

It’s an edit of one of their real marketing slogans, “play has no limits”

So your complaint, for posterity

More seriously, you pretty much got it. It’s an unfunny failure of a caricature of these fuckers, based off what is years old news, that does nothing but stoke impotent feelings of elitism.

It’s self-making your own circus for the bread and circus distraction from doing anything useful about the problem, and I find it awfully similar to public masturbation at this point.

A more succinct comment, and what I probably just should have went for my initial comment given this is a shit post community, is the meme of Squidward saying “brave today, aren’t we?”

It’s boring and overdone.

No shit Sherlock. So why are we trying our best to turn them into the clowns to make a circus to go with the bread instead of talking about how to do something? Why are we helping them make things worse by just turning them into a punchline.

More so, why are we settling for such a weak ass punchline about a version of the problem that’s from multiple years ago?

This limp dicked masturbatory elitism just downplays the seriousness of the situation while stoking a futile feeling of elitism that goes nowhere. “Look, aren’t we better than these hilariously sad excuses for a cum stain? Time to go be smug and continue sitting on my ass doing nothing.”

Neither did the constant media and internet frenzy focusing on the stupidest aspects of their bullshit. Are we going to start talking about the two scoops of ice cream again? Look at the birdy and ignore the gutting of the board of education.

Man, I sure do love when people put words in my mouth I never said. That is one bad jacket there.

There are plenty of more recent and more relevant examples of this type of bullshit without having to go back years, and this is some of the weakest "call out"s of these stains on humanity I’ve seen in a long time.

Next time you want to masturbate about how much better you are than Trump’s useful idiots, get some better material at least.

Are we really still giving any attention to the tiki torch carrying fucks? How long ago was this shit again?

Wish my company allowed that. Everything goes to a licensed secure destruction service that literally puts them through an industrial shredder. Awesome to watch, but wasteful as all hell.

Yes. If I want to organize and dedupe what I have then I need enough storage to work on it, a lot of my storage is spinning rust 7-15 years old, and if I have the space I’m going to use it. I have family photos and a music library going back to 2005. Too many things like old games need custom fixes installed to work correctly on modern hardware, and the internet isn’t as permanent as it was cracked up to be.

There’s plenty of reasons to hold on to older data.

Sink is right there, what’s the problem?

Jesus Christ this blight has been around that long?

I get that per Wikipedia, the source of these is:

In the Spring 2003 issue of the secular humanist magazine Free Inquiry, Laurence W. Britt, who is described as “a retired international businessperson, writer, and commentator” published “Fascism Anyone?”, which included a list of 14 defining characteristics of fascism.

But you have to get that a random unsourced image of white text on a black background is some real “trust me bro” Facebook shares from Grandma type shit.

Getting tired of “it’s okay when our side does it because we’re right, but we’ll clown on it when the bad people do it because they’re wrong”. Just be better.

And while I’m complaining, the source of these is a fucking editorial by someone with no actual credentials or qualifications to declare this shit. Now it’s being passed around online like it’s certifiable fact because it sounds accurate.

All of those are problems. All of those are bad. What is happening in the USA is bad. But muddying the waters by taking random bullshit like this as certified fucking fact only makes talking about shit harder, as everyone has their own set of things they think are truth, most of which have been latched on to for no reason more than “it sounds right and reinforced my beliefs”.

Grumble grumble grumble

Blu-ray drives can be expensive, but USB DVD drives are only ~$20.

I’d also expect anyone who would care about the “physical” edition of the next GTA only being a download code in the box would have a disc drive on the device they wanted to install it on.

It helped that there were used and rental markets for relatively “modern” titles that are now almost entirely non-existent.

You worked places with style guides? Did… Did you have a real testing environment that wasn’t prod too?

I got taken off a project recently for being too direct about how the rest of the team was just spray and praying entirely AI generated code with no standards or review whatsoever, and they were charging ahead like it was a race to implement features we hadn’t even discussed if we wanted/needed.

If you can’t tell me how it works, you can’t confirm that we actually need it, you can’t tell me the upstream and downstream effects (or confirm they don’t exist), and you can’t even confirm that we even want it to do the thing it only supposedly does, then we have better things to do than go on a wild goose chase trying to debug it when there’s a looming deadline for things that legitimately do not work that we need. Stop vibe coding and actually review the existing shit for fucks sake. If the requirements have never been clear, solve that instead of generating more slop. Maybe update some of the existing documentation instead of having AI wholesale hallucinate entirely new not quite right ones over and over.

Anyway, please tell me more happy development bedtime stories. I need to chase away the nightmares.

Trump’s too dumb to even consider wearing a mask to hide his racism, and his real face is far more grotesque than this drawing.

I struggle to even understand the point of this as an image, let alone as a meme. Just feels like pointless “preaching to the choir” shit to me.

Updoots on the left I guess? You’re so brave?

Hooray seaman! Have a se-

Until some regulation is passed and enforced that they have to be closed loop, it’s cheaper for them to fuck up the local ecosystem by using evaporative cooling or local water sources as a heat sink.
