Pretty fucking big loophole that with modern military technology you can speed run a whole war during the period in which the legislature is waiting for you to ask permission.

art students correcting gamedevs that actually modern era ended in the 1970s so the title should be contemporary warfare

sure billions of years of evolution somehow led to donald trump but it also gave us this beautiful mullet in slow motion, so, point in each column

a man and a woman are standing next to each other and the man is yelling at the woman . Alt: two guys who seem like fraternity brothers, except probably a few years older than typical for college age range if they attended right after high school are shouting at each other. "we are at this level but we need to get to this level!" as he puts a quivering hand first by his own chin and then the other one up by his backwards cap snaps. the two guys flex and grab each other's sleeveless arms shaking with excitement, however contrary to how that probably sounds they are very straight coded it's more of like a pre football game psych up situation.

you may think my hate about gen AI seems loud but somebody who I worked with only very briefly 17 years ago recently messaged me out of the blue saying he thinks I'm "really well positioned to teach people vibe coding" which is a sign I gotta dial up the hate louder if anyone online could think that

two thinking emojis are floating in the air and one of them has a thumb on its chin . Alt: floating emojis with think hand on chin, curious expression.

listening to youtube, getting ads from upwork to "hire a vibe coder" (isn't the point of vibe coding not needing to hire a coder) then an ad from fiverr to pay an expert to fix vibe code that doesn't work but what if instead of paying those two people each doing half of it you paid for not vibe code

although this does illuminate why they think people on the left are just meanies and rude, as they're entirely unable to grasp the idea that people are being mean to them intentionally and specifically because of the terrible harm they cause and defend. maybe we gotta work on declaring it every time

And no matter how many times the villains explicitly say at length while doing murders at scale "I am the villain what I am doing is bad and not to be emulated" the conservative audience, child to adult, tends to come away from it like whoa that character is so badass I want to be more like that one

part of why they like Ayn Rand is because she helped popularize the style of media that's still annoying us to this day where it basically stops for a character to explain to the audience the author's viewpoint they're trying to say, because without that the audience would be unable to pick up on it

me realizing our contempt for trump voters failed to reach them because we didn't account for how unfortunately unless you say the words "I have contempt for you, because you ruined the world" they're unable to figure it out from the absolutely seething contempt we show them nonstop every single day

an obstacle less technical people maybe get stuck at is "it shouldn't work" so they won't try it, but domain experts know it's all so absurdly stupid, stuff works even if rationally it shouldn't

I suspect this is the underlying root of IT having to tell everyone to, really, turn it off and on again

a person wearing a mask is typing on a keyboard Alt: dramatic silly over acting hacking guy tapping on keyboard wearing a ski mask indoors in a room with the lights on, another couple of hands appear on the keyboard from the sides one tapping it with a banana. the "hacker" looks at the camera being silly. multiple screens with terminal and text looking black screens of lime or pink text.

me every time an image, audio, or video format is too corrupted to use as intended so you open it with something else then re-save it in the exact same format after which it works just fine and I have the technical understanding to know why it works but that doesn't make it any less funny every time

A still of Wesley Snipes in New Jack City. A black man in dark clothing has tear tracks running down his face as he points an out of focus gun at someone. The meme is that the poster is sad about having to do an unwanted action.

when I see a 90s quality pic online of an actor I liked as a kid playing a 90s videogame on a CRT but I know from 30 years of being online exactly which of those pics existed and are real versus which of these are just the robots and people working with the robots trying to play tricks to deceive us

this art rules, but it's so unfortunate that if the year said (2025) instead of (2015) my experience would be to doubt it by looking at it like this, which so far isn't so bad given the ratio of stuff online from over a few years ago but doesn't bode well for how this plays out in the decades ahead
