That is fucking brilliant. I’d not considered the self-loathing that makes hatred a valid option within the rules.

Jesus clearly instructed us to hate our fellow man.

I really fucking wish we could stop using this corporate bullshit. I haven’t been “excited” about a new position since roughly 2003. Layoffs do not engender excitement unless we get really pedantic about the multiple definitions of the word.

Honestly, my main concern is the pipeline of junior devs who were actually mentored will dry up, and these quarterly results are all they care about. When no one knows anything in a decade, and the business is dying, AI is not going to swoop in to fix it.

Sadly, I’m no longer young, so I don’t think my pee will work.

I’m an atheist. I only read the bible cover to cover once, years ago, to figure out what all the hubbub was about, so I may be a bit rusty. I do seem to recall the bit about “love thy neighbour.”

I like the Jesus guy. Almost everyone else sucks.

I still store my urine, convinced that it will someday be my retirement plan.

It’s truly amazing how a guy almost universally beloved a decade ago has become his own biggest problem. Tesla would be humming along just fine with refreshing models on a cadence, some QA and without Musk.

So, slightly above the 1950s marginal tax rate that gave us the society the GOP wants to drag us back into without taxing the rich? That’s a stool with one leg.

The absurdity is hiding in plain sight, but good Christians seem to forget that money is the root of all evil.

Well played. I wasn’t saying he was useful, just that he has a megaphone.

You only need $1 million for that. “Hey, Peter, check out channel 9!”

Instead of doing the tedious couple of minutes it takes to get the answer for yourself? OK, you do you.

If you’re a billionaire, you park your money in offshore tax havens and don’t worry about FDIC limits.

Yachts. Lots and lots of yachts. As though you can ride on more than one at a time.

I have no specific issue with millionaires. You work for 40 years and save up a nest egg so you can survive retirement. A million or two is totally reasonable for the golden years.

Billionaires, on the other hand? They don’t need all that money, but they always want more.

And the fact that we could see Musk become a trillionaire? Well, spellcheck says that isn’t a valid word, which is usually indicative of something so far from normal that even a computer can’t comprehend the scale.

He could literally send the full trillion dollars to the U.S. Treasury to cover the tax breaks for the ultrawealthy passed past year and end up a pauper billionaire.

For people who believe money doesn’t really exist, they sure do want more and more of it.

Wikipedia is your friend. In the time it took you to ask, you could have answered your own question.

Everyone pays the same base fees, so despite tiered pricing, on a unit basis, it is far cheaper to power a sprawling four-bedroom house than a small apartment. The $46 dollars in fees spreads itself far better over 1,000kWh than 20.

I was apparently unclear about the order of operations. When I left my 1/1 apartment, I was effectively paying $3/kWh. I now pay $0. And yes, I live in my van full-time.

There was a scene in Law & Order decades ago where Jerry Orbach’s character, investigating a murder scene, makes the wry comment, “Oh, suspenders and a belt” after noting a diaphragm and condom wrapper on the nightstand.

uBO is great, but it’s not a complete prophylactic. NoScript also ends endless ads loading. A pihole can handle things at the network level. There are numerous ways to maintain internet hygiene that most people don’t realize exist, because it’s not profitable to give people control over their own devices, so those of us on Firefox (or a derivative) and several extensions are characterized as “crooks who want to steal the internet.”

As with politicians, each accusation is an admission.

Ad companies: “I want to use the vast majority of the data allocation you pay for.”

Me: “No.”

Ad companies: “THIEF!!!”
