I can point to examples of many civilizational collapses based on comparatively minor climate abnormalities in the last mere 7,000 years, and can say with certainty the earth has gone at least 5,000,000,000 without being bombarded by even one gamma ray burst.
I think any alien civilization with basic math would prioritize the bird-in-hand.
My company was absorbed by a US company, and it’s pretty accurate.
And, I think they think it must mean that this dedication makes them good at working.
But they fucking aren’t. I constantly have to remind my coworkers that they’re not paid by the hour. Work hard, work smart, we can finish up and call it a day. Nope. I swear to god these people are actively contriving ways to ensure we work so badly that it necessitates working late. Which we do not get paid for.
Then they flex about thier work culture, thier long hours. You fools did this to yourselves, voluntarily, for literally no benefit.
How many hours they work.
Life is a game. Scored like golf. The number is “hours labouring”.
“I worked 120 hours this week, buttercup”
Wow. I can’t believe you volunteered what a giant fucking idiot you are.
If you gotta work 120 hours to survive, I feel sympathy. If you’re flexing? Jeeze
Yeah for sure. Super easy. Merely be born in 1959
4 people host libraries that my tech illiterate boomer parents access.
One login, many servers, singular interface.
That is very specifically the situation I’m in. Jellyfish, emby, you wanna whip up a persona… that’s a pretty damn clear-cut one for ya
No, thus is totally fair. If i can try to reflect what I just heard:
“Collaboration is easy due to persistent identity and an implied/portable workflow”.
I think this is especially valuable in FOSS. I’ve experienced it.
As someone who has never really used github (I have for a few minor FOSS contributions… very short touchpoints) but use self hosted git…
… what is github even fucking offering???
From my naive perspective it’s a light touch web ui on git?
I don’t understand what gravity well it provides… what escape velocity is required to bail on it.
From my naive perspective, I’d have as much allegiance to ot as I would be to an ftp server. Not happy? NP, I’ll take 17 minutes to move to 1 of 9999999 other equivalent services, or take 95 minutes to self host a functional equivalent.
That “y” in “away” is pretty distinct. If this is the font you’re thinking of, I am pretty sure it’s Segoe… it’s for SURE not Tahoma or Veranda. Neither of those fonts flatten the bottom tail of the y. Segoe does.
Edit:
Arial has it too, but based on the “s”, I still think Segoe. If you draw a tip-to-tip line on the s, it’s a greater angle off horizontal in segoe than Arial, and seems to my naked eye to better match the s in that screenshot.
I think the reason for this is that there has been a palpable shift in the content of what people are communicating… and the old rage faces are poorly suited to what people are using them for. They provided a different “visual vocabulary”.
The old rage faces served the purpose as shorthanding feeling and emotions visually. I’ll leave this as an exercise to the reader as to consider why 4chan users may have found an emotional shorthand vocabulary very appealing.
They were used very generally for storytelling.
Wojaks are primarily used to cue the reader to who is “good” and who is “bad”. Who is the cuck. It’s primarily a mechanism to lay out some type of disagreement and visually diminish one side. In this way, they’re not fla mechanism for storytelling, they’re a mechanism for persuasion.
“General storytelling” NOW comes in the form of a Twitter screenshot.
Anyhow, tl;dr: ragefaces and wojaks serve a different communicative purpose, and for some reason Twitter screenshots ejected ragefaces from thier niche
I viscerally recall, and don’t think kids now will ever fully comprehend the one week where all 4 wheels fell off the meme bus and this was what people were literally posting. I’m legitimately triggered.
The comments were a circlejerk that the technology is good and the future and people merely hate Altman. At least last I looked.

I saw this yesterday.
Not going to see my feed is saturated with them… but at the same time I’ve seen them
I still think it’s good advice FOR DATING.
If you’re a pile of shit, then regardless of if you’re dating, married, or single you should be taking active steps to learn and grow into the best version of yourself. “Be yourself” is not an instruction to stagnate.
Specifically for dating, don’t invent a personality or persona. IF the person falls for you, they didn’t fall for you… they fell for a fabrication. For someone who doesn’t exist. That’s a super shitty thing to do to someone else.
“Pretend to be the person someone else wants you to be for the express purpose of getting them emotionally invested in you” might be the most toxic advice there is. It disregards the agency of the other person. It disrespects them entirely. It implies the ends justify the means.
Is the general consensus that this is a mistake on the part of the government of China?
Season 3 CLOSING theme is where it’s at
Culture changes generationally, often reactionary. Old things become new.
Old tends/fashions come back into style, often because there was something compelling and novel about them in the first place. We see it with romanticized aesthetics but I think social organization sees similar patterns.
Anyways, that preamble was for my naive and optimistic pitch that at some point, we’ll see a wholesale rejection of AI and see a Renaissance of in-person socialization and art. Hippies, beat nicks, bars with live local talent, social clubs like the Elks and Shriners… shit like that, I think it’s due for a big comeback.
Not tomorrow. Maybe 20 years… but if there is any modern constant, it’s for children to reject the lifestyles of thier parents.
My point is that if you shouldn’t be paying anyone for shitty comments.
//assign a as a function of aa,aaa,A,a3, and a2
Nailed it
It’s all relative.
My 2 year old was sitting on the toilet and was like “sometimes, you just have to let the poop out”.
Hell yeah.
