Yeah, so we got an automatic feeder that drops kibble at 5am so he goes back to sleep. Problem solved

My president is a giant pussy?!

Peter Thiel is a bad person. I don’t know how else to describe him. There are quiet billionaires who are like this behind closed doors, and then there are those that are vocally just bad people. No billionaire is a good person.

I mentioned to a coworker the other day that a spreadsheet of “requirements” were sent over by someone, filled with em-dashes. He had no idea why I was so critical of the requirements, because on the surface they sounded legitimate. I pointed out that the guy who submitted them probably had no idea what half of them were, and just went with the plan submitted by AI.

“But how do you know”… my brother, it’s the em-dashes. Nobody fucking used those in emails, spreadsheets, or whatever prior to AI.

I haven’t bought physical media in years. I haven’t lost any games by buying digital only. That said, there is something concerning about the ability of companies to take away what you have already paid for, or retire it from a platform.

Once sold, you should have to be able to sell it back - something like “we’re offering you $0.50 to sell your copy of RandomGame2008 you haven’t played in 18 years”. I bet you a bunch of people would agree to that if it was credited to a wallet toward new games. I have a backlog of games I would sell that I bought… on sale… bought never ended up playing.

Sounds like a pretty great platform. Way better than what we are currently getting.

Gothsuka?

Couldn’t remember whether my friend’s wife was named Kristen or Kirsten for the longest time. “How’s the wife?” worked once, then he asked me how my wife was doing by her name. I had to gamble and got it right.

Or at least I hope I did and he didn’t just internalize it, forever judging me.

Oh damn. I had no idea. Canceling my subscription now.

Private internet access?

Never thought of this but it is a concerning scenario. People really will offload any thinking they can

I long for the days of random people running a BBS and no centralized social media

I was lucky in the early 90s in that my dad had a PC for work. A 14.4 modem and random BBS’s to dial up to, and I got an interesting first experience with computers. Our local library had UNIX PCs, so I had to learn random protocols like telnet and gopher to access anything. Once I got to middle school we had labs like this. I definitely miss the LAN café feel of that era.

Either that or Libertarian

I still use jerboa. Got the pop-up a few times. I will keep using it until the bitter end

It will only get worse as time goes on. The heat we are seeing now has a lag time on the order of decades. So give it another 20 years and it will only get hotter.

Oof

All new Star Wars movies and tv shows

Not being on time to a planned event. I want to be slightly early/on time. For reasons unbeknownst to me, when I say “we need to leave at 35 after to get there on time”, the people I’m going with aren’t ready until 50 after. Drives me absolutely bonkers.

No shit
