They said “bathroom” not “break room”.

You can only lose so many stable boys before giving up on your riding griffins.

Eh…a lot of what we do is inefficient because that makes the most money for people who already have too much money.

Nuclear was kneecapped by the fossil fuel industry. They’re still fighting against renewables.

We’re going to destroy the planet so that the rich get richer.

This year has just been a constant stream of examples why capitalism is stupid. Machine learning has a lot of utility in medical research. Imagine if it were deployed in such a way to benefit society instead of to maximize techbro’s profit.

I’ll never understand why people argue about subjective opinions. Pineapple gives pizza a sweetness to compliment the savory tomato. If you don’t like it, don’t put pineapple on your pizza and shut up about other people’s decisions.

Sure they can.

It is a safe guess that nobody has self driving Fords more advanced than Ford.

Boybortions are of the devil. Real men carry their mpregnancy to term.

When assessing the bias of an article, look at how it ascribes all of the agency to one party.

Chuck Schumer sounded as if he were relishing his standoff with the Republicans

What Chuck Schumer is doing right now, it’s sickening.”

Democrats are maximizing the leverage they have

Outrage followed from Republicans, who printed out the Senate minority leader’s remark on posters and condemned it

the White House took it upon itself to increase the misery for government employees when Russ Vought, the director of the office of management and budget, began following through on his threat to carry out layoffs.

Notice how Republicans never simply do anything? The one action this article ascribes to Republicans is “following through on his threat”.

Republican layoffs are deep inside a complicated sentence, well beneath the fold. But the HEADLINE, is…that the minority party refuses to vote for a bill they didn’t get any input into. The fact they weren’t allowed any input is unmentioned in the article.

Now that they don’t have to comply with onerous regulations, cable companies will be able to pass the savings on to their customers.

From the day we arrive on this planet, and, blinking, step into the sun…

Ideally they would have been given some time to ramp up the process to do that.

Look, buddy, if you don’t give me what I want, I’m gonna punch myself in the face! Don’t even try me, asshole, or I swear I will turn around and shove my head completely inside my own ass. You think that’s funny? Seeing me bend over backwards and shoving this gargantuan skull into a crevice where neither God nor man ever intended it to be? Now STFU and buy my soybeans.

It is way more work to provide value than it is to bribe the regulators to agree that you provided value.

If you consider the number of hetero girls who aren’t interested in dating bi guys is probably larger than the number of guys who date guys, the pool is potentially doubled but effectively shrinks a bit.

We’re subsidizing the building and operation of the data centers to take our jobs too.

I was just thinking that incompetence on this scale is likely deliberate.

Either some manager refused to pay for backups and they’re too highly placed to hold accountable, or they deliberately wanted to lose some data, but I refuse to believe anyone built this system without even considering off-site backups.

I don’t feel like you read the entire comment you replied to.

Yes, AI is a tool with horrifying implications. Machine learning has some interesting use cases, but if one had any hope that it would be implemented well, that should be dashed by the way it is run by the weirdest bros imaginable with complete contempt for the concept of consent.

Every couple years I decide to switch to Linux, spend few weeks trying to get everything to work right, then give up and go back to Windows.

I feel like I’m in a “Goldilocks zone” where I’m enough of a power user that doing what I want in Linux takes quite a bit of work to get set up, but not enough of a power user that I enjoy the technical challenge.

Most recently I was trying to play a couple modded video games, and run a headless HTPC. One thing would work on one distro, another would work on another, but I couldn’t get everything to work at once.

The problem is that they realized that they could do both.
