Them: Great! Let's set up a call!
Me: ... well I guess this is never happening, dang it.

In July, I had a chat with someone about fascism redlines and they named "live bullets on peaceful protestors."
I asked about Minneapolis and he said the officer had every right to fear for his life.
The issue was never about the rightness though; it's the circumstances that make it inevitable.

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

Claim: nothing about coding agents as of Jan '2025 is intrinsically unsafe, in the sense that it might delete your filesystem or production db.

an understandably very negative sentiment yesterday evening, that also lead to an increase (shown as a downward trend) in toxicity. surprisingly though, it seems to be leveling back out rather quickly.
the slight downward trend earlier is the "come down" from the holidays.
