If you have a truck with balls hanging from it, and it wasn't born with balls on it, and you put the balls on it in an elective process, you have a trans truck. Congratulations!

Tech industry, please hire more writers. I can happily read docs for 3h and get much more out of them than watching a video for 3h. And while I'm watching the video, I'm making copious notes so that I don't have to watch the video *again* later to refresh my memory. If it was written down in the first place with good indexing I wouldn't have to do that. Video is such a crap way to document things.

Press release: "Sophisticated attackers compromised our information systems. We are not aware of any customer data that was stolen. Out of an abundance of caution, we are working with our cyber insurance company."

*cyber insurance policy cancelled*

JOB POSTING: Hiring software security staff! Immediate openings available!

Me: EVERYBODY PUT THEIR MONEY AND JEWELRY IN THE BAG! THIS IS A HOLD UP!
Someone who was really looking forward to having a great day: Well this is a let down.
Me: NO IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF THAT! PLEASE LISTEN!

I am an alpha male in that I have an additional channel with a value that I can use to control my opacity.

Most folks I know who are worried about AI aren’t worried about these programs becoming self aware and oppressing us. That’s not a thing. We’re worried about all the ways these systems will ramp up existing inequalities and further obliterate our shared reality as human beings. That’s already happening.

I get it Netflix. I too doubt people are still paying attention.

My bumper sticker says “My kid is your honor student’s drug dealer.”

Me: With God as my witness, I will eat this entire pizza in one sitting.

God: I have zero interest in witnessing that.

I may be an idiot, but at least everyone is laughing at me.

I guess there’s only so many times you can yell “welcome to the jungle, baby! I wanna watch you bleed! Sha-na-na-na-na-na” before the hospital administration will fire you.
