Cool. I'm so tired of management huffing their own farts about AI.

You could probably make it look like an accident. "I guess the LLM was having trouble reaching my account after I was deleted, so it posted everything to pastebin so I could see it there"

Still risky and a funnier fantasy than good idea.

Guild Wars 2 is the only MMO that doesn't aggravate me.

  • Feels like a real video game. You can dodge and stuff.
  • Other players can only help. No "kill stealing"
  • Other players are frictionless. They show up, do whatever, leave. No need to make a formal party
  • Level cap doesn't go up. No need to chase stats forever.

You do have to buy the expansions, but the core game is free now.

We should unionize and eat the useless managers.

When I was kid, the bus stopped at every house because the road was absolutely unsafe for children to walk down. It would have been better if they could have consolidated a little, but it would have been unsafe because of the cars.

Fuck cars.

Fuck the car infrastructure.

I remember thinking it was cool when Doom loaded with R_Init: Init DOOM refresh daemon

I use keyword arguments in Python to minimize this pain. Instead of


create_user("Bob", True, False)

it's


create_user(name="Bob", admin=True, send_email=False)

JavaScript makes that more cumbersome with the object thing , but it's better than nothing.

I'm working at a mega Corp now (not one you've probably heard of) and it's a fucking farce.

We had a meeting last week about some problems with the current process. People kind of nodded along. Meeting was drawing to a close. No concrete tasks or assignments.

I say, "great. Who's taking lead on this? Can we have a proposal by Monday and make a decision by Wednesday?"

Suddenly management people are like "whoa whoa whoa stay in your lane"

Okay then why don't you fucking manage?

This happens all the time. We have long ass meetings with the whole team, talk about problems, but then no one is assigned to do anything and nothing changes.

There's just so much incompetence and ineptitude. Some of it is probably coming from hidden, bad, incentives

I don't have an emotional attachment to meat. I'd like non-meat stuff to be cheaper, and the real costs of meat to be accounted for.

DND is a weird mix of too many rules and not enough rules.

The real magic is I can walk to several open bodegas almost any time of day or night.
