  I don’t regret deleting mine. I don’t need any of that shit, fuck ’em.

  Lol here in the US there are no such protections. You have to fend for yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gave him an offer, then took it away. Thanks PayPal.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel for this guy.

  But I’ve also learned a valuable lesson in my travels: never, ever quit an existing job until after you’ve started your new job.

  Not just accepted the offer, but attended your orientation day and got your new badge in hand. Then give your resignation.

  Yes, I’d love to give my coworkers more of my time for offboarding and project hand-off, but in this world you have to look after yourself first. It sucks, but it’s how it is.

  Never give a two-week notice. When you do that, your current employer may give you a new offer, but if you accept it, your tenure will not be the same, since you’re now seen as a flight risk, and they’ll look for a way to dispense with you and replace you within a year, or two, max.

  It’s more than that. They want training data for their LLMs. With enough training data, they can train these models to do office knowledge work themselves, removing the need to employ cubicle drones at all.

  Ok that’s cool

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have high hopes

  If only we can somehow figure out how to bring back something like the web of the ’90s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨David Hyde Pierce declares he would appear in a second Frasier reboot⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was sorely disappointed to learn that Grammer is a member of the MAGA cult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump orders Corporation for Public Broadcasting to end federal funding for NPR and PBS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Judges can make rulings “blocking” Trump’s actions. But he ignores those rulings and keeps on going.

  At some point, push will come to shove; meaning, these judicial rulings will have to be enforced, somehow.

  There’s not really a good vehicle for enforcing the law on rogue presidents. Unless someone is willing to physically arrest and detain him, possibly muscling past secret service in order to (attempt to) do so.

  If someone will be willing to enforce the law, and can successfully do so, the Constitution may be saved.

  If not, we de facto have a king, regardless of de jure court rulings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Streaming Is Now Just As Crowded With Ads As Old School TV⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m (barely) old enough to remember when cable television was touted and sold as “ad free.”

  I’m also old enough to remember when satellite radio was touted and sold as “as free.”

  Never believe them. Enshittification is inevitable, and planned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon owns a fan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anon has never heard of lamps, either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool, I’m done with Perplexity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨succession⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically, how can we, as humans, use our propensity for destroying entire species, but do it on purpose so we can eliminate ALL TICKS FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH‽

  Cool, I just won’t touch my wife ever again, thanks for the advice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Birth control: US scientists develop world’s 1st male contraceptive pill⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Vasalgel is a better, proven, effective, safe, and easily reversible option.

  Why hasn’t it been approved yet?

  My representatives and senators are all republican ghouls.

  Some are dumb, some are evil. Some are both, but none are neither.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Common Ground⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s how we got the Nazis to stop the first time around: we sat down with them over a cup of tea and expressed our unity with them.

  Oh no, wait, that’s not how we defeated Fascism, at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Common Ground⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We didn’t defeat the Nazis the first time with amnesty, conversation, and kindness.

  We defeated them by stabbing them, shooting them, and fire bombing their cities.

  We will have to do it again.

  Y’all still using paper money and coins?

  I haven’t used physical bills in twenty years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I always park strategically - not closest to the front door, but right next to a cart corral if possible.

  This is triply important when you’re lugging kids around.
