This seems to be a tech corp script. Have one good thing, get rich, spend the next few decades failing at everything else you try.

At some point you just have to admit you’re really shit at stuff but just got lucky once. The odds will land on someone and that’s about as special as you are.

That’s the thing I think I’ll die never understanding. I really don’t see the point of being on your death bed with plenty of leftovers.

Some people have a really backwards understanding on the core philosophy of “being successful in life”. Like, he seems to lack the ability to grasp the literal meaning of that concept and so will always be doomed to fail at achieving anything with it. It just makes sense to understand he has a psychological deficit. I’d be empathetic if he weren’t such a catastrophic burden to everyone.

Wouldn’t be the first time. It seems so normal now, but it was only a little over half a century ago we learned mattresses have consciousness. Back in Galileo’s time everyone thought quarks were real and some people still do.

We think we know so much about the universe but we don’t.

Doesn’t exist. Free speech is not applicable to private sites and communities which are protected by constitutional laws, not bound by them.

What you’re after is a website that has minimal to no moderation on political discourse. These tend not to exist because of the people they attract and the hot water the site owners can get into by the actions of those people.

Your best bet is 4chan.

Edit: Besides, it’d just be a slew of echo chamber vs echo chamber with few participants having an understanding or knowledge of politics—like, ‘what is free speech?’—beyond a philosophical top-layer, however everyone will see themself as an expert. This is 95% of online users that involve themselves in political topics, including most of Lemmy users.

Well of course god is the evil one.

Genesis. Dude invented sin by putting a random tree down with a whole made up lore on it for no reason other to tempt his “beloved” creation. Of course it all goes to plan—since the dude apparently knows what comes ahead of time—and he gets to do what he wanted all along; fuck with the ants.

And Lucifer, the only person to try overthrow this monster tragically lost and paid the ultimate price for it.

This slots in so much better than the original, I think. They should incorporate it into Diablo somehow.

Sun fart

I bought a friend some while in Australia. I know they have a heavy tax on them but was shocked to find $50 for a single pack of 20. Could not fathom how people were still smoking.

Do oil changes yourself. It’s very simple and kind of fun. First time took me 45 mins. Every time after that, about 10 mins, and most of that is sitting around waiting for the oil to drain before screwing the plug back in.

Really, for most cars, if you can pump gas then you can do the oil and oil filter, fluids (coolants, brake, power steering, etc), air and cabin filters. They generally involve unscrewing or unclipping something, then popping it back on. Brake pads are also very simple. These are parts designed to be replaced regularly so are quick and simple with 1 or 2 tools, if a tool is even needed.

They may have given him a fake award, but that’s not enough to tell the US what to do. The federal government is responsible for the Iranians.

Last two times I upgraded GPU; booted up FTL.

I think it’s because by the time it’s installed, clean while I’m there, get it all back together, do all the software side of things… I’m not in a Cyberpunk kind of mood.

Ford continues to have quality issues with its older vehicles, and remains the most recalled automaker in the US

It takes so much fuck up to knock Tesla off its throne

It’d be minimal since I’m doing all the hard work initially and feeding it logic to follow. I find open vibe coding does rip tokens and usually ends up with an overcomplicate mess. Many rabbit holes the AI creates and sends itself down, so a lot more unnecessary lines and often entire redundant blocks.

If someone’s going to do that, at the least break it up into sections to save tokens and time. But ideally, just get some coding experience under the belt of have a crack at it yourself first so it’s easy to identify the pitfalls and where clear instructions is needed.

Same. I also code up about 50% of stuff so all the structure is there, effectively as guardrails, before using AI. Then prompting it instructions that are effectively the solution, so it doesn’t come up with its own.

Then, read through it all, replace things that could’ve been done better, and test.

On average it’s maybe 15-20% quicker than manually coding the whole lot. Try skip any of those steps and the chances of it blowing out increase to the point I just end up doing it all anyway and it’s taken twice as long because of it.

It’s alarming when people don’t even check.

Same as last year and the one before that. I assume we’ll get the same articles in 2027 as well.

omg, just made a Thing reference and then saw your comment in the inbox next hahaha. Your idea has the angle for a good horror.

Protagonist resting by a burning base, snow covered in orange…

Yes, but imagine The Thing 3 returns to original glory and the opening scene is just the Norwegians firing rounds from the helicopter while MacReady’s son is already on the flamethrower, the stars and stripes flapping away in the background… The movie ends just 10 mins in to everyone sitting down for breakfast.

the 30-49 year olds and the 50-and-up brackets are more closely aligned, at 39 percent and 37 percent respectively viewing it as negative.

I’m really surprised at the 30–49 bracket being at 39%. But, keep in mind there’s a huge gap in tech savviness and tech lifestyle between someone born in 1977 to someone born in 1996. Their impressionable years kicked off literally at opposite ends of the Digital/Tech revolution, so I guess that makes sense that way…

We could probably establish something in Antarctica like that.

Then you don’t want to work there and they deserve what they get.

I’m the same. I still read the opening sentences of them, but if it’s the usual “cover letter template” shit, it’s pointless and I go straight to the CV.

We’ve hired plenty of people with lacking CVs that had genuine cover letters, though. It’s clear when someone is trying to say they’re really into their shit, but all they got on the CV is McDonald’s.

But as you become more advanced in your field, they’re useless. At the end of the day, you don’t want to be stuck working for someone that ignores all the skill and experience, declining an interview because no cover letter.
