there’s literally someone walking in the pic

the article actually says the opposite - that it’s the random nature of pushing internet algorithm-chasing influencers that pushes people away instead of it being a way to keep in touch with people you know and love.

horny little me as an undiagnosed bisexual, it made me feel very peculiar as a kid

Continuing to improve

it’s called decomposition

I mean because you don’t use it doesn’t mean no one does.

mega fan, from the Eminem f/t Dido song Stan about an obsessive fan.

Most people are on the internet. I learned quickly that Americans, despite being online, aren’t familiar with the phrase “don’t teach your grandmother to suck eggs”

there will always be exceptions and innovation. One of the things that shaped They Might Be Giants style is they used to release songs via a telephone number and if they held a note too long the phone service would think it was a dial tone and hang up.

guy who loves string theory: inhales

I think the Irish might have something to say about them being the “British Isles”

hope you’re ready for the most pointless, ridiculous nonsense you’ve ever seen

Damn, Americans checking for body hair at polling booths now

Even more if you count the left country in the image as West Britannia

pouring out a Tito’s vodka… 🥲

Mike Waltz has added Jeffery Goldberg, say hello 👋

haha, it’s actually from experience of trying to undo what AI did to my code. And I’m just a casual hobbyist in scripting languages.

I still have a to-do to unstick how it is using a lambda to set a bool value inside a dict with only one key, when any normal human would just do

  bool_var = my_func()

  def my_func()
       [code goes here]
        if x:
             return true
        else:
              return false 

it’s really been a lesson in how I can’t even use AI to learn, let alone actually produce.

Also archers being told to “fire”

as firing didn’t exist until gunpowder, the instruction wouldn’t make sense. Like telling a soldier now to “activate the positronic tacyons!” instead of “fire”

Some have been useful things about being more incisive, direct, clear, plainspoken.

Others have just been that people are competitive and look for any advantage to get “ahead” and curry favor with the boss, even when there’s no competition, no prize, no winner, no advantage. They just feel that by “beating” someone they “win” somehow - or might in the future.

In the latter case i console myself that a complement from one of my coworkers means almost nothing in the grand scheme of things and the promotions at my job hardly make a difference in pay but mean starting an hour earlier.

we had a vet that kept trying to bunghole our cat, then we moved vets and the new one hasn’t bungholed her at all.

hey now but what if I want my code to be like

 if gun.is_valid and not gun == null and gun.id != null:
        shoot()

  func shoot():
         fire(gun):


    func fire(gun):
          if gun.is_valid and not gun == null and gun.id != null:
                   weapon_activate(gun)
