Damn, that’s not fair. Boeing were doing their best to make their planes unbuyable with their absolute trash company culture resulting in tons of safety issues. They almost had it on their own and now the trade war madness is stealing their thunder.

It’s like shooting a man that is about to jump off a cliff. Just let them cook. They got this.

It’ll be done by next year

If I had known how bad it’d get I would’ve chosen a different field to work in. Sure, I can avoid it in my private life but on the job it’s like I’m in some kind of hostage situation.

“Oh hi there customer! You know our product your users are accustomed to will only come as a subscription from now on and it’ll also be really bad and force full screen ads. We’ll push two updates per day because our unpaid interns are so agile. Bugs? Oh, no, we call those ‘micro disruptions’. They’re a feature but don’t cost extra! How much the license costs? Well, how much do you have? Yes, it’ll be that much.”

It seems like their maths won’t check out. They already estimate 66% of current residents to move on to other facilities (guess they don’t have licensed care takers as relatives to take them all in), yet seem to calculate with saving all the costs. Ultimately they’ll push more work towards the other facilities without any intention of financing additional staff which will not work in the long run.

Also parental controls are ass. Yes you can block (most) pornography but you can’t tell a social media app to not blast a teenager with misinformation. It’s like a playground but with glass shards everywhere. You can forbid the kid from playing there altogether but they’d feel excluded while all their friends are having fun. Somehow there doesn’t seem to be an option to remove the fucking shards though.

Potato, potato.

You’re winning so much that you’re starting to say oh no it’s too much winning, ah, please stop.

Those aren’t slaves! No, no. Those are foreign atholeets.

At this point I think there’s some kind of code hidden here. Maybe the localization AI is trying to tell us something.

We should explain the issue in all detail to the Microsoft support so they can guide us to the windows update documentation.

It do be like that. Many of them get repeated till they reach a critical point and everyone is sick of them. Some of them are harder to tolerate than others though. I can deal with people ‘checking notes’ here and there but those who use “literally” as every second word in their sentences awaken a primal rage inside of me that is yearning for rock to split skull. Luckily that trend isn’t as prevalent as it used to be back in the day.

Lemmy’s gentle breeze.

When the end times are here and you find yourself bored you can come by my cave and check my collection of cool rocks and sticks.

I’m just glad that as I get older I’m more content with simple things. I’d be ok giving up most tech things and I say that while working in IT myself.

I remember back in the day in history class we’d discuss if murdering a tyrant is morally wrong and how it should be treated by the law. The class pretty much agreed if you 360 quick tomahawk someone who causes millions of deaths it’s fair game.

I always found it interesting how Scandinavians celebrate their viking past. Viking culture in general is rather popular even though the core of their identity was pillaging and raping people. My best guess is that it’s a mixture of distance (time) and vibes. Dropped some bombs and killed 3000 people? On to the next news. Flew some planes into a few buildings and cause the same amount of deaths? Never forgetti.

From my understanding it’s a very poor nation with a deeply corrupt leadership. Said leaders are taking the opportunity to make money from industrialized incarceration without any oversight. The US president is openly breaking the law by deporting people there but has nothing to worry about anyway because the harshest form of protest the american people can think of is a passive aggressive tweet (that will generate ad revenue for the biggest monetary Trump supporter). The best part of this is that once people are there he can just raise his hands and say “well I can’t get them back, they’re outside the US!”

To be fair if you make an AI and ask it to be an authentic catholic priest you’d essentially have to reward it for such actions because it understood the assignment. Now why you’d make such an abomination in the first place that I don’t know. The ways of the lord and all that…

I do have American refugees on my bingo card for this term. If the wheel they spin at ICE hq to determine who they’ll arrest next lands on you, grab your bags and head over to Europe. We got this pull out couch and we can offer you an egg in this trying time.

That sucks. I’d hate to waste so much time and energy commuting every day.
