See and I disagree. Musk is a piece of shit yes but he’s merely playing the game better for a large variety of reasons.

My point being, the game is not the problem. The problem is assholes. This happens in capitalism. It happens in communism. It happens everywhere. The problem is not the system the problem is assholes.

Adam Smith would be rolling in his grave if he saw what became of capitalism.

To be young again 🤣

Don’t hate the player hate the game

At what point was I defending the system? I make damn good money playing the game and I do my best to lift those around me.

But the system is rigged and I have neither the time or capacity to fix it just like everyone else. It will have to get a lot worse before it gets better.

But to think that you can just airdrop into a different system and not participate in the on youre in? I stand by what I said. Fincel. There i coined the term.

Like we have a choice with society. I love calling peers bootlickers because they are trying to survive and possibly having more success than you.

Hate the game not the player. What’s the economic equivalent of an incel?

Tierra Whack - Whack World

The melding of the audio and visual on a high art concept album is just chefs kiss. Everything she does is just genuine Christ she’s on Twitch now and just a blast to watch. Genuine creative people are amazing to watch.

His first few albums really are seminal. If you’re a HHH there really is no comparison to them.

If this makes sense, there’s a feeling of old outlaw country in those albums and the stories he tells.

My girlfriend 😏

To crush my enemies. See them driven before me, and hear the lamentations of their women.

Netscape lowered teen pregnancy rates

Because in the real world we all know no one is paying 20$ for a happy meal.

Gotta chase that Alpha!

Controversial opinion which my dad and I share but the new Dune movies lack a level of artistry and creativity that Lynch did far better on with his. They are good movies, great even, but they just seem flat and soulless like any other Hollywood epic lately.

As a fan of the books I’m so happy I never watched the TV show. My gut kept telling me it will only end in disappointment.

I think the MCU of all places summed this up perfectly and I think it was in Thor: The Dark World where Jane has fuck knows what and they operate on her in Asgard and she’s giving medical terms and they’re like “WTF just hook her up to the whoziwhatzhit and she’ll be fine.”

The best song ever written

To further your point and remembering my asinine discussions with the vendor.

Fine. I accept what they said. Then the return code should be a 5xx code not a 200.

I genuinely wonder if they addressed their fuckups.

Side note their updated desktop client (because of course new version didn’t have one so they had to write one fast) was a java client that needed 16gb of ram to run marginally well lol

Fun story close to a decade ago we were attempting to upgrade our batch scheduler called Tidal to version 6x which had a RESTful API.

One of the reasons we dropped the product was because we were getting 200 status codes meanwhile the output was a java dump of an error message.

They were adamant that this was an us problem, no matter how much I tried to explain to them with numerous links explaining to them that if something has a 200 status code that should mean things worked.

They argued that the 200 meant we were hitting the API fine. We would have to write code to read the return for if it was a error or not. I still don’t think they understood how stupid they were, even all these years later.

This is what frustrates me because in theory yes, you’re right. But in reality those shareholders are not who you think they are. Many of them are your relatives through 401k and RRSP managed funds.

What I’m getting at is it would be great to Luigi a bunch of billionaires but the reality is the problem is systemic and no amount of murder is going to solve that.

We go back to the Levellers and the Diggers. My gut tells me we are going to everyone screaming for change ultimately get what they want which is someone will be beheaded but then in the aftermath you all have no fucking plan and guess what? In a few years we are going to be right back here again.

I hope I’m wrong, but history has a way of repeating the same beats over and over again.
