It’s gonna come crashing down pretty soon. It’s gonna hurt all of us. It won’t hurt the people responsible nearly enough.

Haaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaaa!

You fucking schmucks. One of the best things about T2 is how nothing is shocking any more. They’ve turned outrage into comedy.

I’m sorry, but you should be fucking ashamed to take a handout when you’re a goddamned multimillionaire, music star, and movie star. Not a millionaire once and just barely (if taxes don’t go up and you don’t have a medical emergency), but many millions of dollars. Fucking pathetic.

I’d respect her more if her kids got into school because she paid for two new libraries. At least then someone would benefit.

I thought my mother was a rube when she voted for Trump the first time. I was angry when she voted for his the second time. I decided our relationship was over when she voted for him the third time.

You have to be willfully ignorant or a piece of shit to not know at this point. I hope she’s the former. I’ll keep hoping until the end of my life, because she’s not a part of my world any more.

Read? Are you some kind of NERD?! Fucking loser.

/s I’m a history nerd and I read a lot.

We freed {anyone_who_became_a_lawless_state_or_under_the_thumb_of_a_dictator}! We’re heroes!

NATO sucks. Put israeli leadership in prison for war crimes and genocide.

Note: Changed my mind but preserved initial reaction:

No. Read the book. Other languages had their massive shifts before or after the printing press. English evolved at roughly the same time. That caused chaos. While other languages solidified in advance, and others solidified after, the english language was evolving at the same time that rules were written. It’s a perfect disaster (those who know, know. great song. great album).

Not direct support for my argument, just context:

The standardization of English spelling began in the 15th and 16th centuries; the Great Vowel Shift is the major reason English spellings now often deviate considerably from how they represent pronunciations.

Back to commenter (so it doesn’t look like I’m joining different quotes):

Germany even had an official spelling reform in the 1990s.

I’ve never heard of this, so maybe I’m wrong / uninformed. I’ll look into it because I truly believe that language shapes thought and this is interesting to me.

The German orthography reform of 1996 (Reform der deutschen Rechtschreibung von 1996) was a change to German spelling and punctuation that was intended to simplify German orthography, thereby making it easier to learn,[1] without substantially changing the rules familiar to users of the language.

Wow. That’s so incredible and impossible where I live (USA) that I’m dumbstruck at the pragmatism of it. I was wrong. Fuck England and the USA (as always!).

I fucking love it.

YES! This was a huge deal that what a lucky mishap rather than a sign of good security.

Btw, Jia Tan is an awesome software dev that you should hire. /s

We’re all completely pwned. That’s the only way to feel ok for me. My info has been compromised tons of times and no one notified me. I just accept it. I practice good security and I know that some of the companies on the other side don’t. I can’t change that.

Have you accepted that you’re gonna die? If yes, you should adopt this attitude. If not, I’m sorry that you’re so afraid of the natural process. Try to be healthy. Try to be secure. Accept that you’re gonna die or get pwned or both. It’s a lot healthier mindset (IMO).

What, you think either of you matter? They don’t give a fuck about you.

Good!

Remember how Amazon had cities compete to host data centers pre-pan and they were full of shit because they weren’t the economic uplift they promised? It happened. You can find it if you search. I’m old and it’s getting late for me, so you’ll have to find it.

It’s not a secret. It’s kinda like how that shitty town in Wisconsin (I think?) city council ignored their constituents about a Foxconn factory that doesn’t make the shit they said they’d make. Trump lied about it in his first term. Why bother now, you can just lock up your enemies.

There was a great podcast ep about it from Reply All before they went out of business for some terrible (allegedly) work practices. The townsfolk were pissed off.

At least once more.

Listen, you guys. I was gonna fire half of you no matter what. But it sounds a lot better if I say it’s because a computer does your job now. See ya!

Oh, cool! Red Hat! The people who run a company charging for support. This makes me feel very safe.

Ever since the ssh thing, but especially in the last few months, I really don’t feel safe with anything on the internet.

There are lights that work on some cameras. I’m not sure which (infrared, I think prolly others). Search the web. They exist. But how are you gonna have that at all times everywhere? Easier to set the Meta HQ on fire. And that’s prolly not easy.

At one point, he even claimed that his personal intervention has kept the unpopular leader out of prison.

Something that hadn’t occurred to me before, but that would make me happy, is that Trump would attack the shit out of Bebe if he felt the need. Imagine him declaring that prison was necessary. A nice thought. It won’t happen, but it made me happy for a moment.

You choose, mother fucker: Bebe or Epstein. Go!

This is the greatest truth of being a computer person. Our shit is also broken, just in ways you’d never heard of.

In what has been described as one of the worst calls between the two, Trump “steamrolled” Netanyahu, a US official said, and Netanyahu responded with “OK, OK just make sure everything is taken care of”.

It’s the Reagan moment where he figured out that he could tell them to stop for whatever they were doing and they stopped. Trump cares a lot about what people think. I would love it if he finds israel too toxic to support and cuts them off.

Zampolli, meanwhile, told the Daily Beast: “I think it is a disgrace that she dares to say this about our marvelous first lady.”

That’s about the fastest way to make me think your opinion means shit.

I got that. For those not in the know, fanfic on amazon.
