Honestly I Drink, but more importantly, I’ve made sure to learn the game that all these rich shitheads play. Wait
So, “capitalism sucks, but I’ve got a system[tm]: Buy low, sell high!”
That’s your plan? Orwell had a horse on his Animal Farm, too.

Can rebut; was also a guard, briefly, first with rounds at a remote pulp mill, and then pit-lamping hobos at a construction site. Raccoons and bears and cougars – oh my!
- Comment on If animals could speak English in what foreign accent do you think that a certain species would certainly have ? 1 week ago:
All racism is stereotyping, but maybe not all stereotyping is racist.
Moose would sound like John Goodman doing a decent accent.
Canada Geese could sound like peewee herman on meth.
Bears? Dunno.

Would it be like “totes mid, fr, fr”? THAT pidgin?
- Comment on Study concludes cybersecurity training doesn’t work 1 week ago:
It’s weird how private email and verified senders are a problem solved like 20 years ago. And we still can’t figure it out?
- Comment on If "James Bond" is a codename, would a hypothetical female operative filling the same role receive the same codename? 1 week ago:
I didn’t like Ms Lynch as the actor, though. I didn’t respond well to her portrayal and I thought it was just … off. I don’t know.
Sonequa Martin-green makes an excellent cop and a decent zombie-fighter, and I think she’d make an excellent bond if we’re looking to upset the rednecks.
But they’ll probably keep it a stuffy male brit character, so Cilian Murphy or Henry Cavill, but I would have loved to’ve seen Idris Elba get a turn.
- Comment on May all your socks be damp 1 week ago:
same intro so often that it ratatats out
But we agree it’s being transcribed as if someone didn’t pass elementary school, right?
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 1 week ago:
Because people don’t realize how ridiculously insecure SMS and (usually unencrypted) email are.
It’s just kids who never had a mentor.

it’s
Probably not wikipedia: people there can spell.

Post-build they want to clean up the as-built docs and ensure they’re accurate.
That’s only one of probably many reasons they would close the lane.

- Comment on During the lead up to the Holocaust did the N... regime just kidnap people who they even thought were Jews? Kind of like ICE is doing to citizens today? 2 weeks ago:
The Spanish word for the colour black?
- Comment on Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod? 2 weeks ago:
I miss Obama and other politicians who could actually speak.

There are very few configurations of the hand and fingers that aren’t offensive to someone. This one is one of the last few remaining, with “thousand points o’ laght”, a list that doesn’t include “yuge” or the double “okay” sign.
So everyone does it.

they don’t bread all that fast
Well they’re toast, then.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 2 weeks ago:
Attention. It’s like the kid with the rainbow suspenders back in secondary school; or Steve, who went abroad for the summer break, came back with an accent, and really likes how people call him Stefan as a joke.
- Comment on Is there an anti- sleep-paralysis device? 3 weeks ago:
Get examined. Narcolepsy is a terrible thing. My friend couldn’t work late as she’d be prone to hallucination while driving. She’s better now with a good drug regimen and awareness but she reports being very frightened for a while.
- Comment on Hide modal for 2 weeks 3 weeks ago:
it feels like the setup menus are just a game of minesweeper
…and that turns it into a skills game vs a bad gamble.
And people who don’t wanna hire pros to manage their on-prem think they can maybe, just maybe, win that skill game.
And that’s how casinos that don’t oaunfee their games of chance through clowd sign-ups also leverage dunning-kruger for profit.
- Comment on Not promoting hate speech but what happened to all the slights/slurs/vulgarity from like the 20s and 40s. There were so many. Now it seems well I can only think of three? 4 weeks ago:

Totes mid, fr fr. Not fetch.

you use to have
You can’t use something in order to have it. Once you use it, it’s gone.
- Comment on What options of resistance are programmers creating to not submit to AI culture? 4 weeks ago:
Not if you use it correctly.
Ah! “Git gud” elitism to paper over the risk.
The issue still stands: what few seniors you still have at the shop who can tell people WHY something is a bad idea, are now distracted with juniors submitting absolute shit code for review and needing to be taught why that structure is a bad idea.
“Well everyone else is doing it” was a bad rebuttal when you wanted to go to Chuck’s party and Mom said no. Laundering “this is what everyone else writes” through an Ai concentrator when 2 generations of coders are self-taught and unmentored after the great post-y2k purge of mentors and writers, isn’t a better situation.

Smart money re-diversifies into more stable markets.
This will help fulfill the bubble prophesy that much faster.

This don’t about people choosing one bad voice chatter over another. This is people who can’t bother to use the best tool for the job.
