I’m a childless adult. I’m such a terrible person. I worship the devil and I kill people. What are you gonna do about it? My cats are literally tiny Satans.

Actually, they fucking rock. Best kitties in the world.

Poor guy got no respect. It was pretty sad.

Seriously, though. I saw his standup for the first time several years ago. I think this was from the early 80s on Carson and the dude was lit. I only knew him from movies and his general schtick. I’d never seen his timing and delivery. He was great.

And then the show worked it into the script. Wooha mofos.

Can I interest you in this Chick Tract?

DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR PASSION

Fuck this. I’m a computer guy who didn’t finish high school (credits wouldn’t transfer) and got a GED so I could start college early. I didn’t finish that either. I got a job among CS grads at one of the most prestigious tech companies because I spent a ton of energy learning about computers because that shit was exciting to me.

I’m bored and lazy as fuck about it now. I’m still learning new things (started a new homelab again two months ago) but it’s nothing like when I was younger and had a ton of energy to stay up until dawn learning. I had no future and it still worked out because I pursued my passion to the fullest degree.

If your passion isn’t marketable, perhaps this makes sense. But the all caps “this is a truth” way that this was presented really rubbed me the wrong way.

I love and support education. Go to school. Get an education. Most people will likely not build a career without that. But holy shit, if you’re hardcore about a thing and that thing can make you money, you might be able to do without the education only because your education comes from spending every minute of every day educating yourself outside of the system.

Ok, going back to bed. Apologies if any of this is muddled.

I was raised in a family where not getting a higher education was doom. I felt like a failure for not completing it. I turned my self-taught skills into a software engineering position at one of the big dogs. I had terrible imposter syndrome for the first six months. But later on, fuck that.

Fun fact: I don’t have a high school diploma either because credits weren’t going to transfer between schools and I’d have to graduate late. Got a GED and started uni classes while my friends were in their senior year.

The other fun thing that needs to change about job requirements: five years experience for an entry-level position. How the fuck do you expect anyone to break into an industry?

Sometimes someone says something just the right way. Well done.

Secret DEA files show agents joked about rape in a WhatsApp chat. Then one of them was accused of it (apnews.com)

In a WhatsApp chat that quickly devolved into depravity, a group of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents boasted about their “world debauchery tour” of “boozing and whoring” on the government’s dime. They swapped lurid images of their latest sexual conquests. And at one point they even joked about “forcible...

About 3 a.m., the woman said, police and an ambulance arrived and found her bruised around the wrists and Zoumberos very drunk. She told AP she locked herself in the bathroom before fleeing the hotel through the fire exit in a state of utter shock.

Fucking unbelievable. Sadly believable.

some_guy ,

A true statement, even if it doesn’t apply here.

People can be completely fucked at the same time that others are hoarding wealth. Consider those who own multiple homes while young families can’t purchase one. Our elders are fucking us over. Said the guy who will soon be an elder.

Holy hell, that’s way older than I want to be. From the thumbnail, she appears to be smiling, so good for her.

US healthcare volunteers in Gaza write to Biden about ‘unbearable cruelty’ inflicted by Israel and arms embargo (www.theguardian.com)

“Every single signatory to this letter treated children in Gaza who suffered violence that must have been deliberately directed at them. Specifically, every one of us on a daily basis treated pre-teen children who were shot in the head.”

See, all these people who wonder how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids don’t realize that they were hauling those stones in Cybertrucks!

Stupid people shouldn’t be permitted to use computers.

I wish I was the type of immoral bastard to defraud people out of $30m cause I’d stop there and move to a place with no extradition treaty.

Aha! So this is how one snuck into a video I downloaded last night. Fuckers. At least with a locally downloaded file I can quickly skip ahead.

some_guy ,

Support candidates who want to limit the ability for large tech companies to acquire their competitors. Maybe even those that wish to see their acquisitions rolled back. Maybe even those that wish to see them broken up.

Stupid example, bigger problem. How to overcome this?

Whatever I do/create I destroy it. Right now this is happening with my playlists. And it’s absurd, because no one listens to them anyway but I keep having days when I feel like I should delete all of them. Then it’s my private notebook. Then it’s what I write, what I paint, movies I kept track of on an app, and the list...

some_guy ,

This. I’m constantly tweaking things to make them more and more of what I desire. But also the comment about waiting and checking back after a period of time sounds pretty good.

Worst case: find someone you can talk to about it.

some_guy ,

Thanks for making me ashamed of my state, asshole. Then again, my love is actually for the Bay Area and specifically Oakland, so little change there. Fuck off, Gavinator.

some_guy ,

Numbers like this will only go up from here. This is the end result of capitalism. Everything squeezing everyone to death to make the obscenely wealthy a little bit more. Because why does anyone else matter at all.

some_guy ,

But Bobo is all worked up about it, so it must be true.

Gonzales, 51, was among the first officers to arrive. He was indicted on 29 charges that accuse him of abandoning his training and not confronting the shooter, even after hearing gunshots as he stood in a hallway.

Arredondo, 53, was the on-site commander that day. He is charged with 10 state jail felony counts of abandoning or endangering a child. Arredondo failed to identify an active shooting, did not follow his training and made decisions that slowed the police response to stop a gunman who was “hunting” victims, according to the indictment.

Quantum Lock suspends sales due to developers losing access to source code (store.steampowered.com)

QL was our first game and although it was a big milestone for us, it was created at a time before we understood version control software. We do not have access to the source code anymore and cannot make any fixes or changes to the game. Because of this, we have decided to disable the ability for anyone to buy copies of the game....

Death Valley heat melts skin off a man's feet after he lost his flip-flops in the dunes (www.yahoo.com)

According to a National Park Service news release, the 42-year-old Belgian tourist was taking a short walk Saturday in the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in 123-degree heat when he either broke or lost his flip-flops, putting his feet into direct contact with the desert ground. The result: third-degree burns....

Missouri prison ignores court order to free wrongfully convicted inmate for second time in weeks (apnews.com)

For the second time in weeks, a Missouri prison has ignored a court order to release an inmate whose murder conviction was overturned. Just as in the case of Sandra Hemme, actions by the state’s attorney general are keeping Christopher Dunn locked up....

Missouri, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc… If I were about to go to prison in the south, I’d kill myself for sure. I don’t think the barbarism of the American judicial system can get more horrific.

Records show deputy charged in Sonya Massey's fatal shooting worked for 6 agencies in 4 years (apnews.com)

The former sheriff’s deputy charged with murder in the fatal shooting of Sonya Massey, a 36-year-old Black woman killed inside her Illinois home, had been employed by a half-dozen police agencies since 2020, according to state law enforcement records....

Holy shit. I forgot that they were gonna release the bodycam footage and only just watched it. The way he pulled his gun and threatened her from across a large space. There was no real risk of that water reaching him in a meaningful way. Yeah, he coulda been splashed a bit, but not to the head or face. And if he meaningfully thought she intended to threaten physical harm then he has no ability to read a situation. She said some weird shit, but to go directly to “I’ll shoot you in the face” is zero to maximum with no attempt to understand why she said it.

Amazon has laid off at least 19,000 workers since 2022, with the Devices division reportedly hit especially hard.

It’s incredible how there’re no penalties to execs for massively over-hiring. Just rewards for cutting jobs after.

You’ve got a ball of fur with toes and a face. Super cute.

But that was the old republican party. This iteration is somehow different. /s

some_guy ,

I listened to an interview with someone who said that she thought this was a calculated move to play both sides to push Dems to deliver more. She said that he’d asked to speak for both parties and only the Repubs accepted him. Given that this was while Biden was still the candidate, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s true.

some_guy ,

It must be cool to be able to lie all the time and not get called on it.

I had four rounds on different days with one of them including 7h of interviews with a dozen people (some paired, some solo). This included a solo interview with someone who interviewed me a year before when I wasn’t ready and I was scared he’d recognize me. He didn’t, but even if he did I was much better situated in terms of my skills and preparation beforehand. I got the job.

Good luck!

Here’s something I use to search history for commands or keywords. I have this as a function in my profile:


<span style="color:#323232;">function hgr() {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    history | grep "$1"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

history grep

Usage: hgr git to search for commands containing git.

Someone more knowledgeable may be able to point out ways to improve this.

I’m gonna guess emotionally stunted development, but that’s just a guess from someone who has spent a lifetime recovering from the same. I haven’t fucked myself over by doing shit like breaking my own property in years. Therapy helps.
