Reminds me of when my friend and I were leaving this pay-what-you-want pro-capitalism pop-up exhibit in Brussels. At the end, there was a thing asking us to donate. My friend said "Let's leave what a true capitalist would leave&qu

In American politics, one truly fails UP. Being an honest, decent human being is seen as a negative and probably in part because it is a threat to the rest of the scumbags. But I believe that some highly trained scientists who are at the to

I have seen enough C-suite loud talkers come into the room and blabber about some bullshit as if they're wise, and the people around them seemingly actually buy into it! They don't see that this person is working off of a template

Mainstream media in the USA has become so unbearable that I welcome AI even if it is wrong a lot of the time. At least it doesn't have an always-war-first agenda.

As a common Software Engineer, I see my type of position as transient, whereas those database guys, the ones who make sure all the guts run, all that crazy shit, they're needed night and day. They can fire me and hire a version of me t

Board members who are at the whims of the holders of their stonks will ebb and flow with the wishes of those who need more ROI during an oncoming recession. Another way to put it: a lot more people will be laid off and that will continue un

Do they mention to never get involved in a land war in Asia? Because if I was a 13 year old writing a paper and injecting quotes out of nowhere, or a machine learning spoken language bot, I'd definitely say that first and go from there

Half the article is the author laughing at a form of currency he/him clearly doesn't know anything about. And what's the use case for needing BTC at a truck stop? Are the gloreeholes finally accepting crypto?

I think the main issue of an object being really high up in the air is the lack of air density which, to achieve equilibrium, will get pulled apart (think: the opposite of being smashed). It's also extremely cold. I assume a weather ba

TLDR: women prefer Masters degrees and high income. Men prefer exactly what you think they do. It is nice to see seemingly obvious observations put under the microscope and handled in a scientific manner with statistics.

Making such a subscription publicly available is a blatant admittance that the platform has gone to such shit that one needs to pay for a filter so you don't break out in to colorful hives. I doubt Amazon execs use Amazon.
