If I was a talented writer I would consider a short story about someone getting onto the medical staff just to murder Zuckerberg.

Maybe some sort of rom-com where two people have done so and they suspect each other of being corporate bootlickers, but in the end they fall in love. And murder Zuckerberg.

You could probably make it look like an accident. "I guess the LLM was having trouble reaching my account after I was deleted, so it posted everything to pastebin so I could see it there"

Still risky and a funnier fantasy than good idea.

You didn't make an argument for why the separate glyphs are needed. You didn't refute what I said. You just self-pleasured yourself here for everyone to see. What a disappointment you are.

What I cannot understand is how so many of my fellow Americans actually like it this way.

Racism.

Many Americans would rather die than have black people have nice things. If you build a good bus system, black people will use it. They won't suffer for being "lesser" like they "deserve".

That's it. Conservatism demands out groups to punch down at.

I know someone who's a member there and some of the pro-israel people are ... A lot.

I'm glad they're boycotting.

The CEO at my previous job laid off almost everyone. They were thinking of re-hiring people, but he didn't want to rehire me because I "ask too many questions about requirements". Like, I made him feel bad by asking him to actually flesh out his brain-leavings. He loves AI.

I'm not sure modern typography needs separate glyphs for vertically centered horizontal lines. - is sufficient.

That said, the average idiot isn't going to know how to type one. If someone who's otherwise a dullard pops it out, it's a sign they didn't produce the content themselves.

They're stupid and selfish. We are ruled by idiots.

A lot of management don't really understand.. anything. They don't understand how real work happens. They're removed from that world. They just vibe and bullshit.

Ed Zitron has written extensively about business idiots.

Buying drm-free music works for me. It's more upfront cost, but eventually you have a big library of stuff you enjoy.

Fuck Spotify.

Just remember when you buy from bandcamp to back up the drm-free copy you get. Then if Bandcamp goes under, or the artist pulls the track, you'll still have it.

If they are using the "unvested" assets for something, like getting a loan with them as collateral, then we should treat it as if they realized the gain.

If you use stock as collateral to get s $1mm loan, that should be treated as income.

If they then sell the stock and get taxed again.... I don't think I really care.

Read more books. Read different kinds of books. Not slop on the Internet.

This prose you've posted feels a bit purple and forced. I personally find all the comma separated clauses excessive, but some styles do that.

Are you still in school? Take creative writing courses. They're fun and you get feedback from peers and the (hopefully) professional teacher.

 

This is the bad place.

It's fucking toilet paper. I don't need a summary.

Not only are they wasting time, energy, and screen space with this slop, it seems to have come with a bug preventing me from adding anything to my cart. I just get 403s when trying.

I can only assume management demanded engineering maximize their AI usage at the expense of boring things like testing and stability.

I hate this.
