They’re angry and sent me a DM suggesting I was either paid $7000 and/or am a nazi if I saw anything to do with politics in this meme. You be the judge.

I can read this as either: AI allows anyone to code their own stuff.

Or

AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.

Just did some digging, and it’s legit and from a 1994 book called “The Internet Guide for New Users” by Daniel P. Dern.

Mildly interesting side-note, I found someone’s blog about posting this image and book to a (now non-existent) fediverse server. https://doughnut.neocities.org/blag/15

You know, I just made a PieFed account and haven’t customized it yet. Maybe using an alternate timeline banner like that would be fitting.

Thanks. I was on the fence about it, but I received so many reports that I figure enough people must consider it NSFW.

Work dress code.

Seriously, lol. Whenever you hear interviews by actors talking about their heavily costumed roles, they talk about it like it’s war trauma. I bet this dude was having a bad day.

Also, I always laugh when I see costumes that can’t bend at the neck and have to turn like this. Reminds me of Batman.
