Real talk, check your shit for bed bugs. THEY WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE IF NOT DEALT WITH.

Fucking dumbfucks. If they actually went independent and seceded, Quebec would collapse immediately. Their economy and social structures simply aren’t built to be self-sustaining.

Ew, AI slop.

Holy shit lmfao.

If you’re willing to wait, you can probably get a good bike used in the spring. Otherwise, head to Craigslist or FBM to find a used bike. Cheaper and already broken in.

My motorcycle has paid for itself many times over in terms of the enjoyment I get out of riding it. It’s something I can recommend to anyone, and lets you see the world in a way most people never will.

I’m gonna laugh so fucking hard if Microsoft dies to this slop epidemic. There was no reason for them to double down as hard as they have on this, and everyone smart told them it was, at best, a risky play and, at worst, outright the stupidest thing they could possibly do. They keep pumping in billions, expecting something to change for the better, but it only gets worse.

There was a study, years ago, where they found that socio/psychopaths made up like 30% of all C-Suite employees. In the larger population, they make up less than 2%, and that’s including all partial diagnoses. Add onto that the fact that most upper-level staff at any major firm these days are dipshit Business Idiots who know fuck all about jack shit, and you get the modern irrational economy.

Just read the sections on Sociopaths and Psychopaths. They describe your average marketing department.

The main difference between Science and fucking around is that Science has you write things down. So long as you record everything you did, even if it ended up with wildly unexpected results, it’s valid.

What the fuck is he talking about? Is he high??? He must be, because that’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.

Upon investigation, the source of this image is an AI slop account smh.

That’s the truly hilarious part - NOBODY is okay with this! EVERYONE knows it sucks! The ONLY reason it’s still relevant is because Business Idiots are so goddamn pervasive and stupid. Any rational society would’ve taken GenAI out back and shot it years ago, that’s how bad it is. If you want to get into the real nitty-gritty of JUST HOW TRASH things are, I recommend more of Zitron’s work; it’s a common topic for him to rip apart in a well-researched rage.

Do non-programmers just enter Claude and write “make program!!!” and then expect it to work?

Unironically, yes. The main proponents of this tech absolutely DO just do that, because they’re Business Idiots who are fully happy and content with code that looks “”“good enough”“”, even if it does nothing useful. You can see this in all the credulous articles detailing tech CEOs who decree “All workers shall now use AI!!!” while vibecoding a bunch of slopware. They have no idea what the fuck they’re actually doing, and they don’t care. All the other Business Idiots have decided that this is the new hotness, so they either fall in line and “do AI”, even at massive financial loss to their company and themselves, or they stop being part of the “In” crowd.

And to the Business Idiot, there is no fate worse than being irrelevant.

The Era Of The Business Idiot - Ed Zitron

Fascist Propaganda plays super hard on the fears and nagging doubts that come with being an immigrant. The fears of deportation, imprisonment, or worse, not fitting in. The fear that everything is for nothing because someone is always poised to steal it out from under you. The fear that you are simply too weak to make it in the world, that there are things you don’t understand and never will.

It’s truly insidious.

Good thing I’m not in debt then.

One of Canada’s prime defenses, and America’s too, is that it’s fucking massive dude. There is literally no amount of troops you can deploy that can effectively cover that much land, especially the northern reaches, which leaves ample space for guerrilla movements to form. Even if the US took the lower 100 miles, they’d have to deal with the fact that Northern Canada would never surrender and Southern Canada would never let it be a peaceful occupation. Good luck trying to find those guerrilla networks in several million square km of forest and mountains.

The ending was pretty underwhelming. I wasn’t employed long enough to get unemployment, and haven’t been able to get another job since. Now back at school pursuing a new degree.

A local one, in Baltimore. Won’t get more specific to avoid doxxing myself and others.
