I wanted money and I heard there was good money in making computer go boop

Edit: but first I spent 4 years learning about the subjects I enjoyed most at school, at university – because 18 is way too young to make life choices. Those subjects were not computer ones. No regrets about studying philosophy to this day :)

I very much doubt that the primary motivation to be the first person to walk around the world from South America to the UK is a bet. It’s … Y’know, probably more to do with being the first person to do that.

That’s a lot of fish

Batshit doomerism, you sound like one of those religious nuts expecting the rapture any minute. You don’t have some privileged insight into ‘how bad things are gonna get’ or whatever hypothetical revolution you’ve conjectured, yet you presume to lecture others about it. Please, tell me again about narcissism and what it consists of.

I guess you had a pretty unpleasant life so far? Not everybody’s has sucked. But I don’t think I need to form a coherent argument against 'all reproduction is inherently morally bankrupt ’ - it’s such deliberate bait that it rejects good faith discussion off-hand.

Is there a more coherent argument to be made against hyper-natalists? Yes, I think that could plausibly be upheld. But that would be a more nuanced stance. The world, despite its trajectory, is not a hellscape.

Absolutely unhinged

Paedo in a lea, tho’

They got the punctuation all mixed up. Instead of ‘Windows 10 will be the last ever version! No more major upgrades!’ it was meant to read ‘Windows 10 will be the last ever version? No! More major upgrades!’

Unfortunate mistake

Maybe worried about looking personally identifiable. It’s understandable.

Which is weird because if you’re actually trying to get shit done, you get much more value out of someone with experience in your ecosystem than someone you’ve just hired, and it’s astonishing how low you an keep those ppls salaries compared to new hires who’re much less effective. Hire+fire is shit for everyone. Except, I guess, idiots who can only think 2 months in either direction.

Same way we always have - trust. Reputation has always been a thing, there was a brief window where photographic or video evidemce was enough but it didn’t last all that long and tbh it’s always had its flaws.

Nah actually I’m pretty happy mostly. Although I do get horrible muscle spasms when I’m stressed sometimes

Only if you believed his bollocks, which we all know is not to be believed

Huh. Never noticed the MLM parallels of the current AI hype so much before. Literally levenschtein distance of one, should’ve spotted it.

I think the idea is that, whilst shorting, you get squeezed. The question is not ‘if’ but ‘when’ and if it takes too long and you’re $1B deep you can lose your shirt

Sicilian ice cream sandwiches are a real thing and they are basically the best thing that’s ever happened to breakfast cuisine

Siesta is barely a thing in Italy any more unless you’re like 70+ and rural lol. But a brioche stuffed with ice-cream is the king of breakfasts what are you on about

Grab that cash with both hands and make a dash
