- Comment on I love being the executive assistant who was brought on as the eye-candy personality hire 1 day ago:
We learned that a lot of jobs are this thanks to the RTO mandates after COVID-19 pressured companies to let everyone telecommute when possible.
Two things seemed to mainly motivate people to return to office, even though it cost more in commute time and fuel and workers productivity suffered at the office. One was that companies were still leasing office space that was now mostly empty, and that made upper management sad. And the other is that a lot of clerical jobs are just there as the entourage of executive aristocracy.
The boss missed forcing his secretary to fetch him coffee on command.

One article pointed out it takes $200 for a date, while another points out Zoomers are just not having that much sex, or are into romantic relationships.
Maybe if you work a people too hard and give them no hope for a future, they might not want to have kids.

Considering his continuous use of the Sleepy Joe epithet for Biden (who was far, far from this sleepy), it really highlights the notion that every accusation is a confession.
The cult leader always is excepted to his own rules.

The flip side to this is an escalation of break-ups that happen on or around Valentine’s Day every year, since the holiday encourages those en-coupled to have serious conversations with themselves about their relationship and if they actually like where they are and with whom. Surprise! Not so much.
Valentines day is about the tragedy of romance, either not having it or not getting it or finding out it was wrong all along.
And day-after chocolate sales.

I’ve gotten comments about the various far right wolves and dogs organizations as if they defined all furries. They’re ruining it for the rest of the kin.
It isn’t the first time a subdemographic’s reputation extends inappropriately to the rest of the group.

…And they’ll still win because some essential minority bloc will believe their promises of free beer and butter.

In my culture we had nothing but roadkill and weeds to eat, so we got really good at making stuff palatable. << Most cultural food legends.

Offline LLMs exist but tend to have a few terabytes of base data just to get started (e.g. before LORAs)

The 2025 trash icon no longer looks like a trash can. It’s no longer intuitive. At the same time, I don’t actually keep one on my desktop, so meh.

Andrew Tate is the kind of hyper-masculinist that drove me to walk away from my manhood, so rather than being enby (meh, whatever), I’m enby ( not a man)
All attributes that that were once virtuous of men now apply to everyone, especially all the features of adults: The rest of us are expected to conduct ourselves politely and maturely, and to take care of business. But not men, and especially not rich men.
- Comment on Might not be efficient, but at least it... Uhhh, wait, what good does it provide again? 5 months ago:
We use about 20% of our caloric intake (at rest, not doing math) for our bio intelligence. Having superpowers of social organization is expensive and power hungry.
So it’s really no surprise that the computation machines that can run AI require tens of megawatts to think.

Not 2025-12-25, or 12/25/25, or 25/12/25?
I’m confused why we have a 25th month this year.
Also, assuming the human species is still around and celebrates Christmas, there will be a 2525/12/25

Some of us knew Trump had a history of fucking 13-year-old Russian girls in 2016 before the election. The victims tried to sue but were pressured to drop the suits via classic mobster-style threats of violence.

- Comment on True romance, despite everything. 5 months ago:
I have contempt for Trump over a lot of things, but being gay isn’t one of them, whether or not it’s implied by circumstances.
But I do enjoy that Trump loathes being thought of as potentially gay, even though I imagine he’d fuck anything, including flags and his own daughter.
PS: Stormy Danials spanked Trump with a magazine, so he does have submissive bones in his body; at least a few.
The humor is the same font from which all the Tinder jokes are made: it’s not that they’re gay, but they’ve collectively dug a hole in which they have to hide it and slink away when the evidence reveals itself.
All that said, I think the blow Bubba comment was more likely a reference to prison sex which is situational. For some reason, we have an archetype of a scary black man named Bubba who is in – and often runs – maximum-security penitentiaries.

A yawn is a signal to regain some alertness, so when you yawn in order to become more awake, it signals your fellow life forms they might want to be alert too. 🥱

You know, all of the twenty first century so far in the US could be someone mucking around with a monkey paw.

To be fair, a woman sleeping with anyone who is not her license-designated lover / owner is interpreted in Hollywood to be an act of rebellion.
Outside the US, in the industrialized world, IRL, it’s just normal.
- Comment on Quite the Conundrum 6 months ago:
To be fair, Clinton won the majority in 2016. Trump won because the EC fucked America. Again, as per the last time a Republican was elected without being an incumbent.
If we don’t fix the Electoral College, I anticipate more Republicans will be unexpectedly elected in upcoming general elections.

- Comment on Perfection 6 months ago:
The first thing that comes up on a websearch is books being chained to desks, to keep them from getting borrowed. I can’t imagine monks chained to their desks will be motivated to do good work, let alone fine art like illumination. Especially if they’re under a deadline, which would serve to propagate errors and misspellings.
- Comment on Perfection 6 months ago:
Middle-ages cloistered monks really had a lot of time on their hands and no other entertainment, so yeah, crazy art of whatever comes to mind.

Mostly that you have way more theory than I do. It’s good to know that these ideas can work when we’ve a collective mind to make them work.
