Creeper.
- Comment on Will Billionaires Destroy Worker Rights? | Robert Reich 2 days ago:
Eh, I’d rather a billionaire weigh in. I don’t trust the opinion of a lowly pleb.

“He said it so now I can say it.”
- Comment on I'll have whatever he's having 2 days ago:
Totally coherent. I’m on the good drugs, apparently.
- Comment on AI is out of control lately 3 days ago:
I chuckled out loud and had to show my coworker who also laughed.

Number one.
- Comment on As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music? 3 days ago:
I try to pick up artists from younger coworkers. That’s how I learned about 100 Gecs. Saw them live. We were the olds. Skipped PinkPantheress cause it felt like we’d be too olds.

Holy shit, just reading about surviving in the arctic made my head spin.

There is shareholder value in workers who come from e.g., a caste system, but there is also a significant risk to shareholder value when too many levels of decision-making are sent to places where that mindset is common.
Very interesting. Can you give examples of how this became an issue?
- Comment on What a clown 4 days ago:
Same. But then the delay made the thing funnier when I landed on it.
- Comment on Never make the mistake of visiting a community for your favorite podcasts 4 days ago:
Sound advice. I’ll be sure not to cause self-harm by learning anything about the other people who listen to my cherished podcasts.
- Comment on Why is currency so essential? 4 days ago:
God, that was such a funny joke back in the day. One of the moments where the writers were at the top of their game.
- Comment on I'm so tired of hearing about US police brutality and China being authoritarian. Why does it feel like everyone is a hypocrite here? Where are the posts about Chinese protests and police brutality? 6 days ago:
“… with shit,” was the full title. Not joking.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
Oh, that’s interesting. But then again, if you don’t care about funerals (I want to be cremated, so if you can’t pick me out I don’t care), just confirming that someone got on the plane should be enough.
- Comment on Language 6 days ago:
It’s an interesting problem. If you don’t have the language to articulate what you’re feeling, how well can you understand it? I don’t mean that you wouldn’t feel it otherwise, just how effectively can you process it without going into a rage and bonking your peers.

If I want a suicide-by-cop outcome, I’d be a boeing whistleblower.

Fuck you Bibi.
- Comment on Innovation 6 days ago:
Imagine the really big screen to which my projector points and ask me why I wouldn’t care. If you can invest in a really awesome home theatre system, it’s rare that you wanna go somewhere other than home to see something.

Well played.

Perfect shitpost.
- Comment on Google employees questioned leadership about cost cuts, layoffs and “morale” issues following the company’s better-than-expected first-quarter earnings report. 1 week ago:
I don’t know how you can better disrespect them than this.
- Comment on Rip Striker 2000-2024 😭 1 week ago:
This isn’t mine, but I was reminded of it:
Five requests with regard to my eventual death September 10, 2021
-
If it happens that my death occurred in some public place, there is to be no ersatz memorial created on that location comprised of teddy bears, mylar balloons, or terrible poems written on posterboard in pink Magic Marker™. This is very, very important.
-
If you choose to have any kind of service “memorializing” me, there will be no use of the phrase “looking down on us.”
-
At no time is any outraged friend or family member to appear in public looking indignant and holding up a framed photograph of me.
-
If you refer to anything I’ve ever done as “brave,” “courageous,” or “special,” I will personally come back from the grave and shit angry ghost turds in your coffee pot.
-
If the resources exist and the weather is fine, I’d prefer to have my remains torn asunder by vicious dogs while “Tusk” is performed by an enthusiastic high school marching band.

- Comment on Why you shouldn’t throw out those DVDs and Blu-Rays 1 week ago:
I still have all my Blu-Rays and DVDs in boxes in a closet. They’re also all on a NAS. Thing is, at the time that I ripped all of 'em I didn’t bother with subtitles. Now my partner is someone for whom english is a second language, so we watch everything with subs, rendering my Plex station rather useless. Oh well. At least I’ve got everything still.

It looks scared and confused.

Thanks for the explainer.
- Comment on Dashcam footage clears man of felony charge after showing constable injuring himself 1 week ago:
From the preview tab, looks like it might be the cop who kicked a moving car and broke his leg? I won’t watch the ad YT is shoving at me and don’t care enough to download the video using a workaround. Either way, fuck cops.
- Comment on All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Why? 1 week ago:
This is why I only use biometrics for website passwords and the App Store on my Apple devices. To unlock requires a password, which cannot be forced (though at least one judge kept a man in jail for contempt of court for not unlocking a device, which should be illegal under the fifth imo).
- Comment on 2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Nominal size is supposed to be 1.5 1 week ago:
Um, wait. I would think that violates some sort of law (but I guess maybe we haven’t codified this?). I mean, building plans expect standards in materials, right? So how can a building meet codes if the materials are not within the expected specs?
- Comment on Your move, China. 1 week ago:
Good. It should be a nationless flag of peace. That makes me happy.
