Hear, hear!

Heyyy welcome back!

Impostor syndrome is a removed

Yes it is, but look - onboarding at a new place is always tough. I’m assuming you didn’t lie and your resumè isn’t completely full of shit; you’ll do great. Bring in the knowledge you hold from your previous experience, and be willing to learn from your new employer, and you’ll rock out. You can handle this for sure.

I know these are technically memes, but I’ve been seeing so many of these hit home for months now. I’m starting to wonder if I was one of those kids who slipped through the cracks and never got diagnosed

I scrolled down specifically looking for a KSP comment, thank you.

“Bro I swear, eliminating competition will totally make prices drop, trust me bro.”

This guy couldn’t possibly be more full of shit.

There’s an easy answer to bring peace to Ukraine. The Russians can pack up all their shit and just go home.

I was He-Man on Halloween as an 8 year old. My little brother was Orko. It was pretty awesome.

Disenfranchisement is an invalid solution to a problem that effectively does not exist.

I wonder if you put some worn clothing (like a t-shirt) outside if it will help her pick up a scent and bring her back

like if there are too many spots on thing, it freaks me out.

Like freckles on a person? Honest question, I’m genuinely curious and trying to understand.

like generating lobby/elevator music or ‘generic greek background ambiance music’ for a restaurant or something. Also the easy parts of the music market, same chords and beats with meaningless text sung on autotune are in its reach

You’re probably right, unfortunately. I guess I’d just file it under things that nobody wants or needs. The whole scenario you just described is really sad, and I struggle to find the actual value in it.

We’re going to continue to be disappointed by AI artwork in every form because you can’t just artificially create an amalgamation of music and expect it to be any good.

The AI hype is going to die a quick death, in my opinion, and I don’t even think we’re that far off from it. Attempting to remove the human element from artistic creation is a fool’s errand, and the sooner it fails and dies the better off we’ll all be.

Reading this took me back 25 years when I left the Midwest for California. The journey on the way to your next destination is such an adventure. I’m excited for you, it’s gonna be awesome. Embrace the change, and don’t forget where you came from.

Also, don’t forget to introduce people to that awesome KC barbecue, it’s legit.

Take me home…

Thank you for bringing back the best game of my childhood.

This reads like a hot steaming pile of AI trash.

I’d be ok with a girl this much taller than me. Where my 7 foot tall queens at?

1. cover your palm
2. throw shuriken
3. aww yeah

Pack it full of tankies first.

Those two are already halfway there.

Learning to have a conversation and not a monologue is also a pretty solid skill.

People stand there talking without a break and I just stop listening.

Indeed, Telegram is a hive of criminal content. At the moment, the platform is in the news with the illegal broadcasting of Ligue 1 matches.

This is pretty funny. The first example of crime is people posting dodgy links to football streams? They can’t be serious.

Sorry it took me a week to get back to this, because I really did want to discuss it. The American welfare system is all the things you mentioned and worse. In conservative states, they actively make things harder on poor people to live, and then make it harder for poor people to vote these knobs out of office.

So yeah, I understand that the cruelty is the point. Then the Republican Party marches some Uncle Tom up on the dais to give a speach about some billionaire shitbird that pretends to care about poor people of any color. The fact that someone in a trailer park in the south thinks that Trump cares about them is really sad to me.

The fact that our state elected JD “I fuck couches and can’t order donuts” Vance as an actual senator in this state because Peter Thiel propped him up with an endless supply of money is embarrassing enough, but then this hillbilly elegy moron just keeps opening his mouth and makes Dan Quayle look like a Rhodes scholar by comparison.

It’s all really tiring, and I guess that’s what they’re going for. But I’ll be god damned if I leave this shithole state a worse place than I found it. I’m not going away until we unfuck our gerrymandered state like Michigan managed to unfuck theirs.

No downvote button for Beehaw. But, we have a block button, which due to who we are / aren’t federated with, I think I used twice in the last 10 months or so since I joined.

Truthfully, I haven’t really needed it. It’s pretty chill and people seem to have more reasonable discussions.

Even if GM did actually sell something I’d want to drive, not having CarPlay would be an instant dealbreaker.

Obviously the way to combat this is to organize dozens or more people who just walk around, load up shopping carts, then leave the store without buying anything. They can pay people to put everything back.

BMW indicators work fine, they’re just designed so that poor people can’t see them.

No one:

BMW: - seat warmers as a service - Apple CarPlay / Android Auto as a service - suspension as a service

BMW can get bent.

Right. And that would stop if people quit participating on fb.

I like being up to date on what my city councillors are doing, events my local cafes host, local art exhibits, etc. Things that have tangible benefits to my community.

I’m going to say this in the nicest way possible- get up off your behind and attend council meetings in person, walk around your neighborhood, do anything except getting all your local news from Facebook. It’s literally there to show you what they want you to see, not what you want to see. Meta as a company is awful, and the algorithms they use to deliver content and advertising to you are a malignant tumor on society. Any information you get from it can easily be ascertained by walking around your neighborhood.

Nah, this is just good people doing good things for other people in need.

I can actually see how you might think it’s a boring dystopia, but this is just how we live where I’m from.

It’s great to destroy societies to win an election, is there enough housing, jobs, etc?

You start with a bad faith argument, and anyone is supposed to take you seriously?

“The government made 25% of my district unemployed, why didn’t I get reelected?”

Ask it from that side and you have your answer.

I really would have liked this more without the /s disclaimer at the end, but I get it.

That whole mindset is weird to me. I’m in my mid 40s and just got hired on as a team lead for a bunch of kids who are fresh out of college. They’re exactly where I am when I started and I’m excited to share my 20 years of experience and mentor them.

They wanted to hire me on as their supervisor but I made it clear that the extra couple grand a year for that headache didn’t interest me.

I’m asking from across the pond here. How the fuck is this guy still relevant at all? Wasn’t he the face of UKIP a few years ago? And now he rises from the ashes as an MP?

Look, I know we have our own dirty laundry to deal with here, and for the sake of the rest of the planet, I sincerely hope we do. Guys like Nigel farage and Donnie douchebag need to be launched into the fucking sun. How do we make this shit end?

JD Vance is a Peter Thiel sock puppet.
