They are giving it their best shot, it appears. You know that is gonna walk out of a lab one day.
I found a video of some of the people I’ve assisted while doing IT over the years.
It’s extremely accurate. A documentary, if you will.
My head is so fucking big that most commercial headphones don’t fit or just barely fit.
This noggin is doin’ a lot of work always, but I wish it weren’t quite so gargantuan.
The signs of educational decline are now impossible to ignore. Smartphones, social media and Covid disruptions. Bad mix.

I too would enjoy a Maniac Pixie Dream Ghoul film.
In my field, I never had a mentor or anyone who knew more than I do. I’ve always had to go it alone.
This is incredibly hard, but also meant I learned a whole lot by necessity. And by bashing my head against it over and over again till I figured it out. I’ve often been in companies where unless I found the answer and acted on it, no one would. I was the last and sometimes the only stop.
That leads to a lot of painful but thorough education.
I achieved my wizard status by trying every spell with no guidance and no council or counsel.
I love it when there is an error that says, “Contact your system administrator.” Bro, that’s me. I just contacted myself and without an actual error message this whole thing is freakin’ worthless.
It’s even worse when it’s an application you wrote and it says that.
The below is why many (feminist, insecure) women absolutely despise passport bros, by the way. It has nothing to do with protecting anyone. That’s complete horseshit. It’s because a lot of women want you to desire them while they remain unattainable.
Going somewhere else where women are more into you torpedoes that and also triggers women’s intrasexual competition like mad.
So of course they want to make it shunned and verboten.
To be clear: only some women. But there are a lot of them!
Same. I went to Israel when I was 20 and met more girls interested me in 30 minutes than I’d met in my entire prior life.
It was then that I truly realized how terrible a place I’d grown up in.
Many women need to get over the fact that it’s not sexual harassment if someone they are not attracted to is attracted to them. Jesus Christ, idiots.
And to keep it fair, many men need to realize that women aren’t insane or too demanding for wanting you to listen to her and make some sort of effort.
Gen Z is in full clown mode now. We did it to them, so they can’t be blamed. But it’s terrible to witness.
The privacy nightmare of browser fingerprinting.

Insurers retreat from AI cover as risk of multibillion-dollar claims mounts.
X’s new country-of-origin feature shakes MAGA and Democrat circles as many ‘US’ accounts revealed to be foreign-run. Which has always been completely obvious. Tons of foreign propaganda operations out there.
Glad we optimized our lives for low monthly cash burn while still living pretty luxuriously. And that was before all this shit started. Doing the smart thing before it’s needed is where it’s at. (And I am sure to many idiot leftists, that also counts as bullying.)
Even with eating out and all that, our required monthly outlay is only about $2,000, including the insanely high California property taxes.
Not bad. Not bad at all. We can earn that working at a convenience store if needed. Or I could return to daytrading again; pretty sure I can make $2k in a few hours most months.
To a lot of the left, “bullying” is telling them truths they don’t want to hear. I’ve been accused of bullying by leftist clowns because I’ve said things like:
You get this picture. Pathetic. If that’s bullying, then fuck yes I am a bully. Proud to be.
I’m not bisexual, but there are no greater — and harsher — enforcers of rigid masculinity than women. I’m not clear why this is true, but every man know this all too well.
And thank the heavens most women like this don’t realize how much power they have — at least in Western society. We’d all be totally cooked. But I think he’s right. Especially to go from a man to that sort of life of unrestricted possibility, most people would flame out. I wouldn’t now (as long as I retained all of my current self cognitively) because I’m older and wiser. I’d be ok. But I probably would have flubbed it if I’d jumped to that life at 20.
But damn, yeah, compared to a male of the same age, a top 1% or above woman can literally do anything she wants. And that, understandably, makes many men and quite a few women resentful.
For a man, to obtain the same social power you have to be in the top 0.0000001% or above. And be rich.
