the owner of the original account said: “I clearly stated ‘reportedly’ because it was the latest information coming from credible Hollywood sources. And yes, I am a HUGE fan and supporter of Mr Musk. He has my loyalty for LIFE, and I don’t say that lightly.”

That's fuckin' weird bro. Fuckin' weird. Back in my day we used to call those kind of people flunkies and bootlickers.

Norquist has been enthusiastic about Musk’s ability to generate public attention for efforts to reduce the size of government. But he suggested that the owner of a space rocket company wasn’t the right person to spearhead a congressional spending debate.

“He doesn’t know politics like he knows physics,” he said.

Hey dude. He doesn't fucking know physics either. Not any more than a 12 year old who's played KSP for a couple days. He's a pseudointellectual.

It never ceases to amaze me how far we can still take a piece of technology that was invented in the 50s.

That's like developing punch cards to the point where the holes are microscopic and can also store terabytes of data. It's almost Steampunk-y.

I don't weigh 600 pounds nor do I have a beard so that can only mean one thing...

Before I was even 13 years old, I was picking berries in the field, before child labor laws that precluded that.

"Back in my day I ate shit so you can too" is never a good argument for anything. That line of thinking just justifies societal regression. We want our children to have it easier, not replicate our same struggles over and over again. Boomer worldviews need to die.

Try programming for a day without syntax highlighting or auto-completion, and experience how pathetic you feel without them. If you're like me, you'll discover that those "assistants" have sapped much of your knowledge by eliminating the need to memorize even embarrassingly simple tasks.

That's...how the world works. We move on. We aren't programming computers by flipping toggle switches or moving patch cables around anymore either.

'Try directly hand-coding bits into regions of memory without a compiler/linker and experience how pathetic you feel without it.'

A lot of Fediverse admins are just normal people like you and me with a budget, and disallowing bots and spiders helps save bandwidth, and the budget.

I can already hear the crabs who didn't get this in the past trying to yank down the other crabs who will qualify for it back into the bucket. Happens every time there's a discussion about minimum wage.

His supporters have argued alternately that Musk’s autism affects how he behaves in public, and that the salute was nothing much out of the ordinary.

I'm on the spectrum. People, stop using neurodivergence as an excuse for someone being a shitty person. People like us can still tell good from evil even if we don't fully understand common social behaviors. The golden rule is easy enough to understand.

KILLING SPREE!

RAMPAGE!

DOUBLE KILL!

M-M-M-MONSTER KILL!

Edit: oh yeah and Duke at an arcade cabinet of his own game: "Don't have time to play with myself."

“I made an error regarding a mistaken identity. I apologized, learned a lesson, and it won’t happen again,” Boebert said in a statement.

The fuck it won't. Fascists tend to see their enemies everywhere. It's why simply telling Trump "no, you can't do that" makes you some kind of radical Marxist in his eyes.

Cursor AI's abrupt refusal represents an ironic twist in the rise of "vibe coding"—a term coined by Andrej Karpathy that describes when developers use AI tools to generate code based on natural language descriptions without fully understanding how it works.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with the AI here. Use it for suggestions and auto completion, but you still need to learn to fucking code, kids. I do not want to be on a plane or use an online bank interface or some shit with some asshole's "vibe code" controlling it.

This motherfucker probably doesn't actually know the definition of "pronoun". He just thinks it's a bad lefty word. Hence why he doesn't want them. So do we just refer to him as "it" now?

Option three: YOLO it and be the first to come up with a working config for it after ripping your hair out for weeks.

And then never tell the rest of the Internet...

it feels sucky to see all my hours of hard work getting trashed without a second thought.

I'm an electronic security installer. You know how many times I've done stuff like install a complete 40+ camera CCTV system at a new store under construction only to be back at the same store a year later ripping it all out when it goes out of business? I know what that feels like.

Worst is when you come around for a regular store equipment refresh and recognize something you installed at that store ten years ago and start feeling real old...

Good luck wherever life takes you now.

You think having a fake online name will stop them from finding out who you are? Did you even pay attention to the Snowden leaks?

You gotta remember, in America we're not enemies, we're friends, we're neighbors."

Then come over here and tell that to some of my neighbors who would want me dead if they knew certain things about me.

Former congressman Harold Ford, former chair of the Democratic Leadership Council and banking executive, made a similar point on Fox. “I was an elite that supported you in 2020,” Ford said. “And said that we should do everything we possibly could do to advantage you against Bernie Sanders, because I thought Bernie Sanders’ politics were detrimental to the party and to the country.”

Oh my gosh, universal, tax-paid healthcare, higher education, and increased worker protections. So detrimental. Things most of Europe and even our neighbor to the North handles just fine.

And y'all think these people are still on the left in any way, shape, or form?

It doesn't matter if you have 2 Gigabit internet if no one in the world is uploading even half that fast.

Just to point out something, yes, there may not be many services online (except torrents perhaps) that will max out your gigabit connection, but you are looking at it from the perspective of a single user. I'm in a family of four, also with a roommate in the house, and with everyone gaming and streaming and doing their thing, it can easily saturate it. We had to pay extra for no caps though or we'd be toast. They at least did offer that. Dicks.

Anyway the point of a high speed connection is to be able to do many things simultaneously, not really one giant thing by itself.

He claimed they face racial discrimination under South Africa’s land-reform law

"We are attempting to undo the hundreds of years of damage caused by racist white European colonizers"

The racists: "That's racist."
