the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

My villain origin story is going to be people saying "but he's objectively evil" JUST LIKE THEY DID WITH SADDAM HUSSEIN IN 2002 and 2003.

WE KNOW BUT THIS IS ILLEGAL AND CORRUPT.

I may have just laughed all through the credits for the Pluribus season finale. Perfect ending. No notes. Fantastic episode with a great capper.

Jake's made a great synopsis of DHH. I first met DHH almost 25 years ago, spoke at his office, helped promote his products, hosted him at events. DHH thinks you can tell by *looking* whether someone is a "native". Because he thinks people who look like me can never belong to our countries. Fuck him.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

If you are a support rep and you are asked to close an account because the account holder is deceased... maybe don't counter offer 2 years of free service? That's nice and all, but they can't use your service in the cemetary. smh

Well, somebody's having a really bad day. On the way into work, I was stopped at a light and a van pulls up next to me with lumber strapped to the roof. But I guess not strapped well enough, because he stopped at the light and his lumber didn't. Oof.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

My town in Iowa (Iowa!) has free buses. It's great! It turns out that there are costs associated with collecting fares, so the system doesn't actually lose that much money by getting rid of them, and it has increased ridership and therefore decreased parking issues.

gonna be honest, i feel like if your problems with coding can be solved with LLMs you're probably just not a very good programmer or you're just not doing very useful things

Being trapped in a conversation with someone telling me what chatgpt said is the equivalent of someone telling me about their really cool dream. I'm sure you had fun but it wasn't real and no one cares.

what the hell??

don’t do this. a joke means EVERYONE is laughing.

if it makes people freak out, even for a minute, it’s not funny, it’s mean!

“don’t be mean to your customers” shouldn’t require saying
I just got an email from someone saying “Your order is confirmed” and I clicked it because what the fuck I didn’t order anything and the body of the message says “April Fools ha ha we got you you didn’t order anything”

I am never buying anything from them again.
