Simply put, if you can't put yourself in someone else's shoes and understand what they're feeling, you won't be able to put yourself in their head and understand what they're thinking and why.

The administration is packed with people who completely lack empathy, and without the capacity for emotional perspective-taking, you're going to have a really hard time with cognitive perspective-taking.

"I have usernames older than you" is a beastly flex.

If you're a full-stack developer comfy in AWS, and you want a job, hit me up and let's talk. I am building a green-field team and project in an established organization with a cool mission.

This is partially desperation: I have 400 candidates in the last 48 hours. 90% of them are fraudulent/bots.

“Both sides are the same!”

Even if that were true, which it absolutely and demonstrably is not, then you should probably favor the side that doesn’t have all the end times nihilists and swastika flags on it.

Wow, that's high praise! Thank you!

It's what the boss finds hawt, simple as.

I hope it’s slowly dawning on Noem that she’ll never have a respectable job again or be welcome among polite society.

Aww, man. She won’t even get to use the flying fuck palace she ordered on our dime.

This country can not be trusted to honor its treaties, contracts, and alliances, and that'll be the case until foreign policy can't be flipped on a dime every four years by a few thousand peckerwoods in swing states who believe that the Earth is 6,000 years old and the Bible was written in English.

When the quick sugar high of seeing big explosions starts to fade and the unintended consequences don't go away, the hangover will be rough. First he'll blame his generals, then the button-pushers will walk the plank, and in the end it will be the fault of the Dems somehow anyway.

So Windows 12 is going to be "AI-focused" and "subscription-based", huh?

You know what else it's going to be? Not for me.

Motherfucker keeps providing rock-solid evidence for his war crimes trial at The Hague.

It's astonishing that all those Very Smart Businesspeople at Target (and the Super Genius heading Tesla) failed to see how pissing off their prime customer demographic and pandering to the red hat crowd that shops at Walmart anyway and doesn't buy electric cars could possibly hurt their bottom line.

Also, the chocolate rations have been increased from 30 to 20 grams!

We have always been at war with Irania.

"We regret to inform you the little monkey is racist."

Sure, solar power is free and abundant energy from the sun, so that's pretty neat. But did you know that the supply also can't be blocked by closing the Strait of Hormuz? Wild stuff. We should look into it.

You mean Pearl Harbor was not an act of war?

Holy shit. When the Japanese hear about this, we are going to owe them a shitload of reparations.

Or the YouTube videos titled something like "Clueless American SHOCKS locals by being FLUENT in their language!", and the comments go, "He's using a bunch of stock phrases he memorized, and his pronunciation is almost incomprehensible."

I love when people point out supposed language feats of actors and it's like "Matt Damon speaks fluent Russian in the Bourne movies!", and some native speaker comments "Actually, his Russian is awful and he sounds like a drunk toddler."

"Why does half the universe look like California?"

It also handily explains why Banderas/Ahmed speaks English/"Norse" with an accent.
