  • The official line is: "they tried to carjack him and he bravely tried to fight them off." WTF was he driving? A school bus? You carjack someone you have one, maybe two guys. It's not a fucking clown car (I mean, it is, but you know what I mean.) There is no situation where 10+ people try to carjack someone in a sedan.

    I hate gambling, but I will absolutely bet money that he said some absolute bullshit to someone and they took offense, and what "big balls" didn't realize is that he wasn't just talking shit to some dude, he was talking shit to some dude and his ten friends. Then he got his ass beat. I will bet hard cash money that the details will shake out to be an absolute case of FAFO. I'm completely confident in this because he is exactly that type of guy.

  • AI Is Making Us All Sound The Same

  • Yeah. I don't use it. I fucked around with it for an hour or so to see what all the hype was about, but I found it obnoxious. It's long-winded and bloviating. It writes like a high schooler trying to hit a page count. Look, motherfucker, I asked you a simple fucking question. I don't need a dissertation. A sentence would have been fine. I'm not going to read five paragraphs as a response to "Hey bud, how you doing today?"

    Also words like "delve" and "examine" aren't particularly uncommon. Well, "delve" isn't often used in colloquial speech or writing, but it sometimes has its place when you've already used up better words, or if you just want to sound Lovecraftian. It's just an old-ass word that most people don't use anymore. "Examine" though? Really? You're telling me the analysis found an uptick in the word "examine?" That seems like an incredibly common and normal word to me.

    Also: fuck you (video creators!) I use em dashes. I've used em dashes since before chat GPT existed. I know how to use dashes and hyphens correctly. If you can't type an em dash, then

    <space>

    <dash>

    <space>

    is acceptable. A dash is a dash and a hyphen is a hyphen. They are different things! Fuck! Dashes, hyphens, and semi-colons are mysteries of the English language even that even English speakers don't understand. It's wild. Twitter was doing a fuck-load more damage to the English language before "AI" came along. "u no wut i mn dog?" Putting hard character limits on posts was disastrous for written speech.

    But aside from all my bitching, this seems like a perfect example of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis of linguistic relativity. If so, it's an incredible problem, because our language is evolving in a way that is directly controlled by the dumbest fucking tech-bros.

  • Trump administration says teenagers can now be ICE agents

  • Gee... thanks. Being too old was definitely the thing that was holding me back from joining the gestapo.

    Also: YAY! Let's give 18 year olds handguns and anonymity. I'm sure that will end well. I remember being 18-19. I was definitely a well-reasoned, rational adult, and not still an impulsive, hormonal teenager. Sure sure.

  • If you could somehow, instantly and completely, be natively fluent in any five languages, what would they be?

    Jump

  • In addition to English:

    1. Cantonese (My partner's family is from Hong Kong and they all speak either exclusively Cantonese or a mix of Cantonese and English that they rapidly switch between mid sentence. Makes family gatherings... frustrating. They used to think I actually understood Cantonese because I was fluent at picking out the context of what they said in English and then using other context clues to figure out WTF they just said XD)
    2. Mandarin (Most common language on Earth aside from English)
    3. Spanish (Also one of the most common languages on Earth)
    4. Russian (Becoming more and more useful as things keep happening)
    5. French (My neighbors to the north have a lot of French-speakers. Plus I can sound all cultured and shit. Even having an absolute meltdown of swearing and curse words still sounds kinda sexy in French XD)

  • I don't know if I should make this post, but has anyone noticed the weird vibe here these days?

  • Look homey. Shit absolutely sucks ass. Nothing is going well fucking anywhere. But we all still make it through the churn. Everything is fucking hard. We don't get easy mode. We all get full-ass late-stage capitalism mode. And it fucking sucks. But we have to keep fighting. We're going to have to do this shit forever. It's our lot in life. Unfortunate for us, but the world we can create for those who come after is what makes it worthwhile.

    I love you homey, and I love shitposting with you. Never give up.

  • While I love the idea, I've worked with too many architects that give absolutely zero consideration to HVAC. Like AC just magically happens because you have a condenser on the roof.

  • What is going on?

    Business idiots. People have this bizarre perception that if someone has a bunch of money that they must be "smart." I mean, you're on hexbear, so I probably don't have to explain that. It's clearly false.

    So why are they everywhere?

    Again, business idiots. If you, as an incompetent moron, could hypothetically boost your quarterly earnings by firing laying off workers while getting kind of, sort of, I guess, the same output, what would you do? I remind you that your entire career relies on this. You make the cuts, or you get cut. So you roll out the LLM bullshit. And sure, it's cheap now. We can weather the expense. Until you need it for your company to function. Then they jack up the price. Because what are you going to do? You already fired everybody. The LLM is running everything. You have no idea how anything even works anymore. You pay it or you go out of business.

    It is a weapon.

  • Ostentatious garbage. Gaudy, tacky, generally hideous. Didn't the French start building shit like this shortly before the Revolution?

    Also, as an MEP professional: where's the HVAC at? Going to get real stuffy in there real fast. I see zero diffusers. Also given the fucking marble ceiling, there will be no "acceptable" place to put any air outlets. So no AC, no outside air. Just a bunch of old-ass republicans farting into a closed box. Lighting also looks way under code.

    Who's the fucking architect so I can make sure I never waste my time with them?
