ugh same. All I heard for decades is “hey you should pay artists” and “artists don’t make much money” and then as soon as I actually need a competent artist they’ve vanished off the planet.

Reminder that Trump’s various ties to Russia are thoroughly documented and verified, but the FBI/DoJ just plain decided not to do anything. “Russia owns Trump” is not a mad conspiracy theory.

On Friday, the White House presented the composition of “a founding Executive Board”, consisting exclusively of figures loyal to Trump: his Middle East adviser Steve Witkoff, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and former UK prime minister Tony Blair.

It’s astonishing how often Tony Blair manages to find new ways to be a massive fucking disappointment. It’s like he’s already concluded that he’s going to hell for the whole Iraq thing so he’d may as well lean into it by being a huge cunt while he’s alive.

The stupid thing about this is the US already has a disproportionate amount of influence in the UN. Greed is something that can’t ever be satisfied.

As a general rule if you see a headline from the Express you can assume it to be at best tangentially connected to reality.

AI slop with the audacity to block anyone with Privacy Badger enabled, like, “we worked hard to produce this AI slop so we deserve to make money scraping your personal data”

(edit: oh wait, I just noticed you meant OP’s summary. Yeah, blatant slop, get to fuck OP)

for some people this is meaningless bullshit, in that they are struggling to pay for groceries

Good point, and I think this runs to the heart of a lot of ragebait meme stuff like this. It wasn’t written for that audience, it was written for people driving an Audi TT on a VW Polo salary.

The phrase “…interpreted as…” was the red flag for me

I’d kind of be surprised if this was real, especially with that name.

Pulling the ladder up behind you is not at all rare.

Literally every post they make is going to have a thousand people telling them to go fuck themselves

I don’t expect you to know who that model is because I didn’t know either, but what I did do was skim the comments first before posting a giant tirade and getting wooshed… ;)

I always used to hear these things in pop culture about both Taco Bell and Chipotle fucking up your stomach and representing some kind of test of physicality, and I thought it was supposedly because they were very spicy. And then I visited the US and tried them and discovered that no, it’s not spicy, it’s just extremely poor quality to the point of being unfit for human consumption.

The dumb thing about these tech company evaluations is they’re always based on a degree of future growth that could never possibly happen.

Even after this big plummet it’s still got a price:earnings ratio of 145 (by comparison, most others industries have PE ratios around 15-30), which suggests there’s a lot of people who think that Reddit is going to find some magic way of growing by a factor of 10, despite its current brief spurt of profitability only being the result of them burning a ton of goodwill.

Hey, you’re the one underpaying your fictional workers in the first place

Could be an interesting holiday for a few weeks. Fly in on a tourist visa, do the theme parks, get a job at ICE posing as a US citizen, leave with enough money to pay the first month’s credit card repayments on your FastPass.

Jensen Huang can go fuck himself

srsly though it’s astonishing just how much global geopolitics hinges on whether this is successful. MS Office is the main blocker to the EU migrating off US tech.

Yeah the way the media works these days, it doesn’t matter what the committee says. If she says she gave it to him and he says he’s the new winner, than that’s all that most people will ever hear about.

wow, I didn’t need any more reasons not to support Oracle but thanks anyway

There is a theory that cats evolved the sound of their miaowing to trigger the same part of the human brain that reacts to a baby’s crying. Manipulative little fucks.
