Nuclear Experts Say Mixing AI and Nuclear Weapons Is Inevitable.
I SAW THAT MOVIE AND IT DID NOT TURN OUT WELL
Annoying
Pales Guard
The Palestine movement isn't ultimately about Palestine https://t.co/MjcKDALUNH

Exactly. No one gives a fuck about Palestine, especially not these dipshits.
They want to destroy Western civilization. Or think they do anyway.
Got a Spare Law Degree?
Apparently I am also a fucking lawyer!
Got people today getting upset with me because I refuse to answer purely legal questions and then refer them to corporate counsel. Bro, trust me, you do not want an IT person answering legal questions that will definitely bring about liability and obligations. You. Do not. Want that.
What a day.
Cult Des
I don’t even know how you can have a real conversation with somebody who doesn’t think that his country has a culture that’s distinct and identifiable and worth protecting. Like, I don’t even know what that is. We’re just on completely different planets. https://t.co/VkiX9JSfm0

A lot of liberals believe any culture of a “colonialist” country is illegitimate and should be destroyed by mass immigration from the third world. In some places, they’re basically doing that or allowing that to occur.
That’s what’s going on here.
Fascism vs. Societal Self-Protection
On some level these people genuinely think that if a cop tells you to do something and you don’t want to do it, then he has to just let you do it https://t.co/2YBYhthviO

Indeed. We have borders and border control for a reason.
Clown liberals enjoy the benefits of that while protesting it. Idiots on all sides.
Haus
Contra the Boomers’ bullshit beliefs, housing even by the fairest of measures is much, much more expensive than it used to be. Also, that does not include taxes, insurance and maintenance, all of which I believe have in most places exceeded wage growth and general inflation.

Dang. Brutal, and bad for all of us. Of course, I wouldn’t come here as a student or even as a tourist for any reason either.
NWS
Weather Service is now hiring back hundreds of positions that got cut in the DOGE chaos
Huh, turns you actually cannot pray the gay weather away.
Fancy that.
Supportable
It’s a weird idea that what you visit and view is what you necessarily support and believe, isn’t it? How did so many liberals arrive at that asinine and clownishly clueless conclusion?
I read everything from very far-left actual communists to extremely right-wing RETVRN types. And none of those do I support. Part of it is that I just like getting a broad range of views. Otherwise, you are stunting yourself intellectually. Part is that you have no idea what’s going on in the world if you don’t come out of your turtle shell and look around. And another part is that I am merely curious.
Because I don’t have an ideology or philosophy of any human alive now (perhaps someone from 10,000 years in the future) I like to see if anyone else out there is emerging with the same thoughts, the same spirit. So far, no, not really, but if I don’t dive into the zeitgeist and the particular weltanschauung (to get crazy with the German Cheez-Whiz) of various little sub-cultures, how would I ever know?
There’s little worse than a person who believes you should be punished or shunned because you happen to read something they disagree with it. Not support it — that never seems to be the criterion. Just reading it is enough to bring about the sanctioning.
I won’t live that way.
That I Say
Some women seriously be like, “I got this tattoo to reclaim my body!”
And then the tattoo looks like a donkey barfed on them. Two years later, you see some crazy tweet like, “Why do all the EVIL guys I REALLY want and deserve HATE TATTOOS! It’s SO UNFAIR and OPPRESSIVE!”
And to that I say:
Cast Out
That’s because podcasts are fucking terrible. Just a trash format.
Babel
When you declare war against reality, information and physics, those three always win.
As the Trumpists (and unfortunately all the rest of us) are going to find out over the next few years.
Chair the Motion
In IT, I have been in charge of chairs.
Yes, chairs. Definitely an important piece of information technology if there ever was one.
Not Happening
What’s an IT “truth” which other departments assume, that really annoys you?
That anything that uses electricity, or that has any moving parts, is IT’s responsibility to provision, troubleshoot, replace and maintain.
I know it’s because we have the only population with methodical and reliable troubleshooting skills but Karen, nope, I’m not gonna fix the coffee maker. And I’m not gonna unjam your stapler and definitely will not help you do your own team’s job, either.
Lax
What do you think about the ‘mental load’ in relationships?
Women are more neurotic by nature on average so it’ll always be a problem. This isn’t lobbing some accusation. It’s just true, like the Moon is up there in the sky and that birds have wings.
Some compromise could be made by men caring more and women laying off a bit (or a lot), but probably won’t be.
Fortunately, my partner is one of the least neurotic people in general I’ve ever met so we work together perfectly. And, well, my nickname in the army was “Chill” so that gives you some idea of how I tend to be most of the time.
I did have an ex-girlfriend ask me many years ago about some trifling matter, “How can you just not care?”
And I answered, “I look at it and think, I just don’t give a crap” and then never think about it again. Easy.
