The only Southern Baptists I know were really into demonstrative shows of family unity at church, but would frequently get into massive screaming matches where they'd kick their teenage kids out of the house. They're divorced now.

You're forgetting retired women.

What pisses me off most is that the way the internet works now is that ten years ago, someone who wanted to share about how to service your 90s Volvo that would have written it on a web page with a few photos that would have been quicker, cheaper and easier to write, quicker and easier to read, and cost next to nothing to host.

But because Google control fucking everything, that same person is now heavily incentivized to make it a pointlessly long video instead, that took days to make and edit, and is harder to use while working, and if they don't do that then they ain't getting anywhere near the top of the search results and you weren't going to find it anyway.

It sucks and I can't wait for people to wake up and tell Google to fuck off and stop ruining the internet.

YES. For me it was especially disappointing because I'm exactly the target market for this kind of film on every level.

I'm sure I could beat the piano guy in Luigi's Mansion 3 if I played it enough times, but it's not nearly fun enough for me to stick to it

What's currently pickling my noggin is how I've been seeing "new model smashes benchmarks by an unexpectedly huge factor" headlines every month for the last two years, and yet somehow no matter how many models suddenly score 99% on tasks that they used to score 20% for, I've not actually found the damn thing any more helpful or reliable than it was in 2023 for anything real-world. I'm starting to think all these supposed breakthroughs they keep having are being hugely overstated.

There is a set of ISO codes for each language, but it's not catchy used as an icon, and are also implicitly Western-centric by virtue of using the Latin alphabet.

I'll fucking say. I had to re-read the thing three times to figure out what the hell they were talking about, saying "Old Trek" over a shot of TNG.

I usually screenshot it in place with alt-print screen, paste it into paint, crop it to size, and save

Same, it's largely doing pretty much as the article implies, replacing StackOverflow for when I need the correct runes to do something specific.

Yes. This is basically the core of why capitalism eats itself.

You don't have to be evil or short-sighted to be a CEO, but if you don't do evil and short-sighted shit to pump the share price there's a high probability the board will replace you with someone who will.

This is why I believe the government should hold stock and sit on the boards of any company that gets publicly listed. Much easier than tying yourself in knots with an adversarial system of complex regulations.

It never ceases to amaze me how often I still learn about how much stuff is illegal in the US. All I ever heard growing up was how it's the freedomest country in the world and that the entire concept of its government was built on personal freedoms, and yet it doesn't even seem to be true on its own terms.
