I wonder if McCain is dishonest, stupid, or both. I think both, but stupid is the dominant mechanism here. I think she’s too idiotic to grasp that all things have a political context and subtext, even when it’s not an explicit “vote for XYZ”. But maybe she gets that and is just being dishonest for clout.

Either way I hope she goes away and never impacts the world again.

I was hoping step 2 was going to be “and then they don’t leave”, but your plan is pretty good too.

Turning off almost all notifications, running adblock , and ditching social media (except Lemmy, if that counts) , seems to really limit the damage.

I am a few steps removed from his social circle. I’ve never met him, but a few friends of mine have. They all have said he’s a sincerely good person.

Now, that’s just a second hand story from the Internet, but for my part that’s helping me be optimistic about him.

I’ve read that conservatives model the world as “strict rules that have exceptions made on a case by case basis”. That maybe works if you’re in a small village. Smarter people realize that doesn’t scale and you should write better rules in the first place.

There’s a recurring problem where the people who make decisions aren’t the people who should make decisions. And many of the people who should be making decisions are too bogged down to deal with everything.

Oh man kids and making shit up.

There was a kid who told me he had all these new mortal Kombat games. Just complete fabrications.

I told another kid that if you got all the chaos emeralds in sonic 3 (I’m old) you could turn into super sonic. Imagine my shock when that turned out to be true.

• Bandcamp
• see who tours together. If you like A and they open for B, you might like B
• indie record labels
• see who’s playing at local venues.

A couple weeks ago I was working with another developer, and we realized we had to change a string’s format slightly. He was like “I’ll do it in chatgpt!”. I just did it in python. Mine worked. His, we would’ve had to check carefully.

Justin Humphrey should be removed from office.

Cliché shitty man unhappy that women aren’t tailored for his personal tastes.

Extra funny that he jokes about banning a book, as if his villain status wasn’t already abundantly clear.

Yet once the measures are implemented and people become accustomed to their new, more pleasant surroundings, the benefits become clear.

Conservative thought is inherently stupid. Thoughtless. It just wants what is, without considering if the change is good or bad.

Vivek Tiwari, an investment banker, loves the new road for taking 45 minutes off his travel time. His office is in Nariman Point, the southernmost tip of the city, and home is 12 miles north in Bandra.

“It’s an amazing piece of infrastructure and driving on it is glorious,” he says. “Not all infrastructure can be equally parcelled out among the rich and the poor. Yes, only a minority like me use the road but maybe it’s going to help us generate more economic growth ultimately, which will benefit everyone.”

Vivek can fuck off.

Yeah I thought “campus” said “compus”

I didn’t do all the optional bosses in expedition 33. I finished the plot and was so powered up the story bosses didn’t even get a turn. But fighting the billion hp “dodge 13 hits in a row or die” just wasn’t fun for me.

Did zuck personally buy these or did a team of analysts doing research make proposals and he picked some?

It could maybe be useful information if the questions, answers, and test taking process are all public and non-binding.

Like, they get a pen and paper and a quiz appropriate for high school seniors. They’re filmed taking it in a classroom, and the results are all public. Different institutions can grade each test.

If you want to vote for the guy who says “the president writes laws” then that’s on you.

If conservatives try to make it like old timey literacy tests, it’s non binding so it can’t so much harm. Might even make them look bad, since it’s all public.

I don’t have a car but someone close to me does. Mostly for visiting family outside the city. I’ve said this often enough when we’re stuck in traffic that now she just looks at me and preemptively says "don’t say it!’

Yeah, this is one of the reasons why I only want to live in the NYC area of the US. Just take the train or bus, don’t worry about it.

Oof. I’ve had places that the pipeline was getting long. At one of my previous jobs I made it so all the tests could run locally, and we were keeping the full build as slow as possible.

We also didn’t do any browser tests (eg: selenium) because those tend to be slow and most people are bad at making them stable.

It’s important to know whats worth testing.
