A coworker once told me that the South was doomed because the North had a larger industrial base. I said that sounded like wisdom in English, but it was a joke in Vietnamese.

It's a good read. AI is a scam and the tech bros need it to be transformative for their shareholders, not their users.

But having a different set of values and goals than the ones you espouse is called hypocrisy, not nihilism.

No recoil, but you might feel a little sting.

This is the first one of these I've upvoted.

Oh no! The harrier? Did they get the specs for the Avro Vulcan? What about the Spitfire?

"I'm a lethal threat to the women close to me" is surprisingly honest and open misogyny . You'd probably hit the front page of Reddit with this meme.

I'm trying to imagine the user that both needs a text editor in the command line, yet is uncomfortable outside a gui.

I write scripts all day, but closing a program without clicking the little 'x' is scary and weird.

What are you even talking about!? Nobody gives a shit if they bomb or kill people. Raising gas prices will bring more military consequences in a week than you'd get for a hundred years of genocide.

Democrats pretend to be progressive the way Republicans pretend to be Christian. Just a virtue signal that can be jettisoned the instant it becomes inconvenient to power.

American Football: no time outs.

Play it just like soccer. Ref's calls are final, and the clock doesn't stop unless their is an injury.

It would make the game much more fun to watch, cut the runtime by two thirds, and force teams to hire athletes who can maintain vigorous activity for half an hour without dying.

Just let the students edit the course assignments before completing them. Everyone gets an A and teaching has never been easier.

Why has no one thought of this before?
