A lot of women (not all, to be clear) interpret you interacting with them in a way that men would talk to each other as being creepy.
So, when you actually do meet the demand to, “Treat me just like you’d treat a man!” it is then denigrated as creepiness. No way to win. The best bet is to pretend to treat (again, most) women as one of the dudes but actually do not do that at all.
I’m a bad humorist because my primary (and often, only) goal is to amuse myself and to make myself laugh. If someone comes along for that ride, so be it.
But I care not.
Today, I listened to all or part of 468 new (to me) songs. I liked 22 of those. That’s a hit rate of 4.7%. About average I think.
I also caused two browser crashes. Also about average.
Those who claim there is no good new music: How does it feel to be a ridiculous clown failure?
Something brand-ass new that I found that I also like a whole lot. (And wow, that woman is tall. She looks about 6’1″ or so.) Not sure why it’s uploaded in the wrong aspect ratio, though.
The coolest brand new thing I’ve found lately.
I don’t really give a rip what Scott Adams did or said outside of Dilbert.
During the 1990s and early 2000s, I read the comic and enjoyed it. It made me laugh more than once. That’s more than most people have ever done for my life. That’s enough for me. I just can’t bring myself to care what artists and entertainers do outside of their art.
That so many do is a major flaw of our age.
This is worth watching the first part of for a brief glimpse of Hope Sandoval when she was very young. In the video she’s 21 and though she doesn’t say anything or sing, she has the affect and mannerisms of someone much younger.
Just looking at that brief clip, if I had to guess her age I’d say she was 15-16. She also looks vastly different than her later much more goth-y look.
Strange seeing her like that, really. You almost get to hear her laugh.
That was not the stupdest thing I’ve seen, but it’s right up there.
Blue cities are incredibly poorly governed.
This is the Hatchie-est of Hatchie songs, Ergo, I love it.
This is superior to the original. She just has a better, more musical (and more world-weary) voice.
What Twenty Years of DevOps Has Failed to Do.
One of the primary reasons DevOps failed is that it invariably ends up becoming the developer help desk. Into that department is dumped all the tasks and project that developers don’t want to do, don’t understand how to do, or are not smart enough to undertake.
And in my experience devs are even worse to support than regular users. Most non-dev users are aware of how little they know. However, developers often think they know much more than they actually do. This leads to untold problems.
DevOps is a failed experiment. In the end, ops people should do ops and devs should do dev work. AI might change that some, but that’s the basic shape of it.

COVID pandemic enters seventh year with no end in sight
LOL. Clownish. Just as valid (and dumbass as all hell) to say, “The 1918 Influenza Pandemic enters 108th year with no end in sight.”
Covidians are both stupid and evil. Very bad combo.
