At my old company of about 20,000 employees, our CEO used to travel between our regions to give speeches at our work gatherings. So we'd have to listen to him talk every year or so.

I was constantly amazed listening to the bullshit this guy would spew. He literally founded the company and led it for 20 years - but I firmly believe he had absolutely no idea what it was that we actually did.

We were an IT and management consulting company, so we'd be doing stuff like building applications, systems integrations, change management, or managing programs. The usually consulting shit.

This dude would give these speeches like we were out there solving world hunger.

At least this shitty timeline is entertaining

Get an ice cream maker and don't let your dreams be dreams. Making homemade ice cream is ridiculously easy.

Looks like he had Pakistan write a Twitter post proposing a 2 week delay. Apparently that's what we call an agreement these days.

This is a few days old, but also super relevant.

It's always two weeks!

As wild as it is, it's not super surprising either. Republicans are about to get their asses handed to them in the mid-terms and Trump isn't eligible to run in 2028. So at some point, they need to distance themselves from Trump and pretend they never liked him in the first place (see George W).

The only thing a little surprising is it's happening now and not in 2029 after losing the next presidential election.

Yeah I used to binge f7u12 for hours at a time. Then one day something just clicked and they were no longer funny. It was weird.

Dude ate mustard and people lost their minds.

Actually that's not fair, they lost their minds because he was black. But still.

That just made me nostalgic for a time when our president was just a moron and not a completely narcissistic moron with dementia.

Not to mention that having AI fulfill the responsibilities of junior devs means than in the long run, you're preventing junior devs from growing into senior devs.

Eventually we're going to have a problem where no one is qualified to know what the hell is going on.

One of my friends, who has never had a cat, told me that cats were way stupider than dogs because they didn't follow basic commands and probably didn't even know their own names.

I think it takes living with cats to realize that they are smart as hell and understand a lot of what you're saying - they just don't give a fuck.

Not OC - but this happened to me last night and my buddy sent this to me this morning.
