Oh poor dog. I'm so sorry.

Can you image a world where we screened all politicians for psychopathic and sociopathic disorders?

Oh really? You'll have to spill the beans next time we see each other.

Fun fact: in the early 2000s when eBay was experiencing explosive growth, the city could not supply any more power to their datacenter. At that point, the company decided to view software optimizations as a power savings effort.

We're glad you survived that dark period. You're alive and thriving these days. (okay, it may not feel like it, but you're doing pretty good overall from my perspective.)

The entire AI industry is still in the wild west stage. At some point, one would hope, the energy consumed will drop as efficiency improves.

Until then, lets go ahead and further stress an already overloaded energy grid and have AI bots keep telling users Hitter was a nice guy & rode unicorns

Can we please start screening individuals who want to start social media companies for dark triad personality traits?

The major sites are all run by either socially maladapted individuals or psychopaths. Regardless, you are only a resource to them due to their lack of empathy.

Since I have full medical power of attorney with my aunt, I wanted to ensure her insurance company, Aetna, was made aware of the fact.

In 2025, the options are either mail them in, or fax. You know there's this new fangled thing call email used to exchange documents.

Faith-based climate change.

Either they're a fElon fan, or simply do not pay attention to the news. Good luck with trying to resell or trade the car in after a few years.

THOSE FRIES HAVE NO F**KING IDEA WHAT THEY'RE DOING! COFEVEVE!

All organizations of sufficient size have ugly cracks. While the founders would like you to believe the TTiTD is for the people and by the people, it's always been their party where an invitation is bought with cash and/or supplied labor.

Regardless, it's still a great thing to be involved with.

Wwwwwhhhhhhyyyyyyyy? Even if it does ship, the most of his followers couldn't afford it.

Nick pick rant of the morning: I hate websites that have a massive signup button yet the login button is teeny tiny.

Fun fact about Tesla - the management team immediately sells their stock options when they are granted. Almost no other companies' execs do this. Most will hang on to their options.

In other words, the team doesn't believe Tesla will be around in the future.

Spaceball 2 is in the works. Hell yah!

Dear car manufactures, please stop wasting money on including navigation software. It's certainly not a value added feature, nor is it welcomed. Most folks have smartphones loaded with their favorite navigation app.

If the mullet haircut was a vehicle, it would be a cybertruck.

John and I have been slowly making our way through Andor season 2.

It’s a bit depressing—turns out shitty EDM is a universal constant.

The apocalypse is near. Today is the first time I have taken my aunt out to a medical appointment (1 of way too many) and she did not complain it's cold nor want a coat.

(This is the same woman who complains the apt is too cold sometimes when the temp is set to 75F.)

OK Go has released some of the most creative and original music videos out there. Most go viral very quickly. But, does anyone actually own their albums, and listen to their music on a regular basis?

All the money we spend on ICE, border patrols, immigration processing, and god knows what else, could be used to improve the countries the immigrants are coming from. You know, maybe stabilize the governments, improve their economy to create a mutually beneficial trading partner. Just a thought.
