- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 1 day ago:
The people doing (or ordering) the hiring don’t want to be bothered with “low level” problems, so they want leaders that can deal with them. That’s why middle management exists.

I think it’s safe to say that AI hate is indeed popular irl, we just don’t have conversations about it.
Personally, I think AI may have potential (hey, I’m a sci-fi fan), but we are going about it in the least honest, ethical, and sustainable way possible. I DO NOT want the current generation of AI “entrepreneurs” to have ANY influence over real AI, if we ever even develop it at all.
I hope that Bezos and the like are remembered like those carnival hucksters who built absurd flying contraptions that didn’t work. When the Wright brothers came along, everyone promptly forgot their names.

a disingenuous prick who insists on using alt-right "debate tactics"
These people are quite possibly social media’s greatest plague.

- Comment on Robbed 3 weeks ago:
I’m an older American, and in some ways a product of my times. Many of us were heavily influenced to find women’s armpit hair unattractive. I know, and respect, that others feel differently. Hence, “just my own personal opinion”.

Just my own personal opinion: there’s such a thing as too much authenticity.

One of the best photos ever

The councilman who started all the shit died first. I think it’s safe to say that the cat is missed more than the man.
Clements had been defeated decisively during his council re-election bid in November 2016, and died on January 1, 2022.
Browser died on September 3, 2025 of natural causes.

I would absolutely despise this person irl
- Comment on Would you want to be Michael Jackson-level famous? Why or why not? 4 weeks ago:
No. I like going out and not being bothered.
I’d like to be the producer, agent, etc of someone famous. (Not anything related to PR, though. I don’t want to downplay or “justify” some asshole’s crimes.)
Nobody outside the industry gives a fuck who those behind the scenes people are, but I’d still be pulling down the big bucks.

It’ll be fun when this particular “companies setting themselves up for failure” era ends.

Now that you mention it, that seems like a very simple yet reliable test

Either this took a lot of courage to write, or it’s their strategy for finding “daddies”. If sincere, I’d suggest looking into the possibility of creating a real friendship with someone in need. @homes gave some solid advice. I’d go with that.

Sorry to nitpick, but it’s “seem”, not “look”. That makes a big difference.

I have no soldering skills or interest in Pokemon. The only reason I’m giving you that background to emphasize that I’m proud of you, too!

- Comment on Your teenager AND your husband 4 months ago:
That’s where the “within limits” bit comes in.
- Comment on Your teenager AND your husband 4 months ago:
It takes an enormous amount of energy to grow. One of my friend’s sons actually has stretch marks because he grew so quickly one summer.
Within limits, I think teenagers have a license to eat ridiculous amounts of food.

Whenever someone asks what “dry humor” is, they should be shown this.

- Comment on Should longer hair be handled by salons or male barbers? 4 months ago:
Be aware - if you choose a salon, they’ll probably try and sell you a bunch of “hair products” that you don’t need, like expensive shampoos, conditioners, gels, and stuff.
Then again, this advice is coming from someone who buys whatever is on sale at the grocery store. You do you.

I knew a girl in college whose parents swore by that thing. At first, I thought your link would go to the Flowbee website, and I was amazed that it was still being sold lol
