As with most things in the modern world that have gone to shit. It is not the monetization scheme in of itself that is the issue. It is the never ending desire for more profit this quarter than last forever.

If it was acceptable to stop trying to make even more once the cost to operate is covered and some healthy profit is made predictably then a lot less people would have issues. And enshitification would slow down.

Right along with story points.

Not meant to be a measurement of time, but of effort. But everyone ends up using them as a measure of time because that is what the MBA at the end of the tables wants.

I’m sure the bears would allow you to attend, as the meal.

Cheap hookers that won’t give me weird things on my junk are rigged.

Gotta get that post nut clarity to make sure it is you and not the horny feelings leading you to making that decision.

It has always been kind of funny to me that the painters of these official portraits had to at some point get directions along the lines of “I want it to be flattering but clearly me” for some of the portraits they had to do of what had to be pretty bridge troll ugly looking people.

Talk about going home that night after getting the assignment, having a stiff drink, and wondering how the hell you are going to get out of this one.

Could be worse, could have been your mother or grandmother.

They can try, but it is unlikley to work for long. So my general reaction is:

This meme does not contain enough toenail chewing.

I’m surprised there was no further validation or approval for that kind of money beyond “find the right person and socially engineer them.”

Hope the weather forecasts around there are very accurate.

Kid brought home dinner.

Don’t forget the “bloodletting”. Got to get that bad blood out along with the head spirits.

I thought death would be happy with this roll of the dice. I thought he had been after Kissinger or McConnell for years now.

To me, things like ChatGPT are just more efficient ways to search sites they scrap data from like Stack Overflow. If they ever drive enough traffic away from their sources to kill the sources the likes of ChatGPT will become mostly useless.

I have something like 100 of these in a draw in my home office. Along with a straightened paperclip as a backup.

I’m with you on that. VIM is a good example of a tool that the deepness of the tool makes it aggravating to use for the 90% of simple use cases.

Unless you use VIM enough for the shortcuts to be second nature it is faster to install Nano, make the changes, and remove Nano than it is to use VIM.

A lot of my personal dislike for VIM would be done away with if it just had a helpful common keys cheat sheet (basic cursor navigation, edit mode, exit with and without saving, etc) at the bottom of the editor window like Nano does.

Lawful neutral or chaotic neutral for me, depending on my mood.

Shit, if a show doesn’t interest me after 30 minutes I’m done with it. If the story only gets interesting after the forced exposition dump part of the script, then the script needed more work before they filmed it. In my opinion anyway.
