I hate writing in the sense that writing is agonizing, but it's agonizing the way getting a really good massage is. It hurts but it's unclenching some shit that's been tensed up. If it doesn't get done I am going to explode, and trying to make a robot get the massage for me would be fucking stupid.

im not a linux evangelist but people post on here weekly like "i miss when computers were more like the early 2000s and had basic software and i didn't have to pay attention to all the flashiness and complexity and updates" girl what you desire is running stable debian on a spare thinkpad

When Republicans run on wanting to turn the country into a fascist police state, Democrats run on claiming that they would be better at actually running it.

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

the actual Republican parents who support the politicians pushing for this think the effort and money they spent parenting are wasted if their kids turn out different from them.

You eliminate that possibility by eliminating the public existence of other kinds of people.

a nice thing about when the internet was a bunch of little sites and servers was that it was a lot harder for governments to pressure "the chat provider everyone uses" to implement age verification.

you wanna pressure 300 separate IRC servers? good luck with that. but one company? easy

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio PeΓ±a, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out β€œfully autonomous” means β€œa guy in the Philippines.”

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression.

CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school?

DR: No, notβ€” listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town.

C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name?

DR: Now look

I let ChatGPT analyze a decade of my health data. Then I called my doctor.
I gave the new ChatGPT Health access to 29 million steps and 6 million heartbeat measurements. It drew questionable conclusions that changed each time I asked.

Oh. No. You don't get to say that bullshit about negative money.

That's a loophole. That's a TAX LOOPHOLE. You don't hold money, you hold ASSETS. You borrow against your net worth, and know that you are never cash solvent, but your assets let you borrow MASSIVE amounts. MILLIONS. Fake Poverty.

The image is a six panel black and white comic. 

Panel 1- A therapist sits on a chair, legs crossed. "We're going to try something for your anxiety today. I want you to imagine some place that would bring you a sense of peace."

Panel 2- The person sitting across from them on the couch repeats back, "Some place that brings me peace?"

Panel 3- They put their hand on their chin and then think, "Some place that brings me peace..." 

Panel 4- Eyes now closed, their thoughts fade out "Some place that brings me-"

Panel 5- The person is now laying on what looks like freshly cut grass.

Panel 6- It zooms out to reveal them laying in the old Windows xp default wallpaper, a green field with blue sky and clouds, a picture refereed to as 'Bliss'

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.
