Same, same.
Amusing
Flat Wrong
About twice a day, I think about the Ian Welsh (et al.) pre-war contention that resistance in Ukraine was impossible because it is flat. And I have a good hearty laugh.
It’s such a great source of amusement. Why would you listen to anything that doof or those like like him claim after that, I have not a clue.
But at least it was entertainingly dipshitty.
Ham It Up
This made me laugh more than is easy to explain.
Huffing It
It is true. We are in the dumbest timeline.
Double Dumb
Did the Particle Go Through the Two Slits, or Did the Wave Function?
These Hacker News discussions are always amusing. Every single commenter (and I do mean every single one, no exceptions) has no goddamn idea what they are talking about. It’s all hilariously wrong. The source article is also half crap, but that’s to be expected. That goofus is attempting again to sneak superdeterminism in.
Anyway, don’t read anything like those HN comments to learn anything. Read them to be amused, like you were listening to someone describe American football using the rules of cricket or something. Otherwise, they’ll just make you dumber.
Passenger
Ok that’s pretty fucking funny. And these types also cheer for Russia too. Horseshoe theory and all that.
Disputin’
According to utter idiot clowns like Ian Welsh, the Russo-Ukrainian war is completely the fault of the US. Russia and Ukraine had nothing to do with it and it all could’ve been avoided if Ukraine had just bowed down to Putin when he demanded it. Merely give him what he wanted and all would’ve been peachy. No country has agency besides the US, of course. And no individual people either.
Right.
It never seems to click with doofuses like Welsh that their belief that the US is incompetent, ineffective and omnipotent all at the same time does not make any goddamn sense. It’s similar to the common Dem refrain that Obama was simultaneously Jesus Christ, Norman Schwarzkopf, Einstein and a tiny helpless little baby with absolutely no power all at once. Ian Welsh (and many like him) both loathe the United States and wish they could be Americans. That explains a lot of the cognitive dissonance.
The rest is explained by garden variety stupidity.
Plode
Great, just what we need. Now we’ve added spontaneous human combustion to our list of problems.

HELP – Deployed Firewall Policy To Block All Outbound Traffic.
No testing of such a consequential change? Love it. I don’t believe “accidentally” at all.
And no local admin? Clownish setup. Sometimes it is fun to see how bad a lot of my competitors in my field are.
Anai
How to tell if a picture is AI.
Ha! Not to mention that the face is based on Ana de Armas’s.
Party
Rest Of Party Thanks Fucking God 2 Guys Who Like Etymology Found Each Other.
This article is about me and I do not like it.
Just wait till we get going on etymology and epistemology at the same time. Y’all ain’t never seen a party like that.
Pants Chance
Woman Friend of mine: I like that you’re my friend and visit me even though there’s no chance we’d ever have sex.
Me: No chance?
Friend: Why, are you interested?
Me: No. Sex is a lot of work at the best of times and I’m tired. I just wanna chill, really.
Friend: Then why do you care if there’s a chance or not?
Me: I like optionality! I don’t want to rule anything out.
Woman: Ok. There’s a trillionth of a trillionth percent chance.
Me: Ok, much better!
(This wasn’t confrontational. We’ve known each other quite a while and we were both joking around in a much longer conversation about how men and women relate and misunderstand one another.)

company wants me to fly out on my dime for a job interview to prove dedication.
And the answer to that is hell to the fuck no.
Though I might fly there to laugh in their faces and piss in their air conditioning vents. That sounds like way more fun.
L and L
I have seen hell…it was a job interview.
Another case of a company just wanting free work. I’ve seen more of this in the past few years. If this happens to me, I am going to definitely produce something that will blow up production if they use it.
And then I shall laugh and laugh.
Mask Effect
I’m doing a lot of eugenics lately since I work out often. I plan to do some more eugenics tomorrow (today is rest day).
Also, Covid has not done a thing to me. Absent another pandemic, I’ll never mask again.
