The Programmer’s Credo (an oldie but a goodie)

Hahahaha. Oh man. It was worth it to have to learn about another of his tired provocations to get that gem.

What?! Whenever I am forced to learn something about that man against my will, it’s always the most tedious bullshit you’ve ever heard.

The govt shutdown is on track to be at least the 5th longest in US history. Wanna know the longest? 34 days during Trump’s 1st term. That shutdown was over $5.7B Trump wanted for the border wall. He got $1.7B. A reminder that President Deals has always been bad and cruel at making actual deals.

My best guess about the future of AI is there is some sort of bursting bubble - AI is clearly over-hyped. That doesn’t mean it goes away (sorry). AI doesn’t make money, but it can and does help businesses make money. Plus efficiencies, small language models, and other trends will make it more stable

Yeah this is really subtle and important. At least some of us feel something is wrong with us because maybe wearing women’s clothes feels like a fetish or gives a thrill. It’s so hard to push past that when there’s so much else set up against us to keep us in the closet.

Right-wingers are so hack. I cannot believe he’s going after ‘blue-haired chicks.’ Ok, grandpa.

I’m sorry Majhium, I meant that for the person above, Mr government koolaid (that’s his user name 🙄) who posted his little weird conspiracy theory dozens of times and I never know what people like that think. I’m sorry if it seemed like I was insulting you.

I noticed you copy-pasted this message more than 30 times today and that you frequently do that, for example with the political cartoon of Dem governors. Out of curiosity, what type of response would you like people to give to this tactic?

Yes. To me, nothing in the history of that region says the conflict is over. Why are we pretending it is. It’s crazy-making.

Yikes! I might have done the same. I just looked her up based on your post though, and that’s super disappointing.
