I also don't have a lot of money for fun because no one is hiring because all the psychotic C-suite think AI is going to replace everyone. Or they think they can just squeeze labor harder and use AI as an excuse.

But either way, fuck Microsoft.

Ed Zitron wrote a whole thing about these people. Calls them "Business Idiots"

I mean, I would not be surprised if we learned they had already started mass murdering the people ICE abducts.

Conservatives just say things for the intended result. They don't care about facts or truth or internal consistency. They're like cognitohazards.

What do you call the action of putting their grades together like this, without the sentences you put after it? (this is the most important question of this comment).

Why are you stuck on "cannot" when the point of the idiom is about the (repeat pun) fruitlessness of comparing things by inappropriate standards?

You clearly can come up with a way to score a math test by the standards of an art class, but that is not typically a useful endeavor.

I've never heard that expression before, but that's pretty good.

I worked with several former teachers in my software career. They were all smart patient people. Software jobs making shit for rich people to get richer paid more than double for less work.

I knew another teacher who was on food stamps because her salary was so low.

Our society values stupid shit. It invests in stupid shit. We are lead by assholes and fools.

Leadership are stupid assholes.

We should break google up and bury the current leadership in a deep hole somewhere.

Many people, perhaps most people, operate primarily on the emotional level. That's one of the big problems facing humanity.

Microsoft should be broken up. A lot of problems go away if we just stop letting power consolidate.

The only reason anyone owns anything is we collectively agree, or they can defend it with force.

 

This is the bad place.

It's fucking toilet paper. I don't need a summary.

Not only are they wasting time, energy, and screen space with this slop, it seems to have come with a bug preventing me from adding anything to my cart. I just get 403s when trying.

I can only assume management demanded engineering maximize their AI usage at the expense of boring things like testing and stability.

I hate this.
