Didn’t Couldn’t see that one coming.

I’m the law!

The same way paper journalism is: ads. But not animated, video, in your face ads. Static images are good enough for print, they should be good enough for online journalism as well.

I’ve seen this movie. It did not end well.

SB 1780, would make accusing someone of being homophobic, transphobic, racist or sexist, even if the accusation is true, equivalent to defamation, and punishable by a fine of at least $35,000. If passed, the bill would severely limit and punish constitutionally protected free speech in the state.

W. T. F?!?!?!?!?

It’s already started. We just haven’t named it yet.

Thanks!

Titan tier. I press it every time a program tells me to.

Ooooo! Got any examples?

Maybe he’s ethically non-monogamous.

The same goes with being called a liar.

Every statement I make is a lie.

Seriously! The new model and terminology have been around for a decade or so! Why aren’t more people aware of them yet? throws hands up in frustration

But, having said that, now deny that you have an alcohol use disorder without sounding like you have an alcohol use disorder😏

Me too. But the other day, a junior developer and I were looking at some fairly old code, and I recognized the writing style in the comment as mine. We ran p4 annotate and, sure enough, I was the baddie.

It ran outta gas. It had a flat tire. It didn’t have enough money for cab fare. Its tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole its car. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locusts!

Great. What’s your address, so when Trump wins and we descend into ChristoFascism, I can send you flowers and a thank you note?

Only if you name it ErrorClassifierGPT

No?

• Then don’t call the police when your house gets robbed because you chose not to build the walls and doors out of nearly unbreakable titanium, build the windows out of nearly unbreakable 6 inch plexiglass, and install the best available security system in the world. I don’t want to be paying for your choices, and this is your problem now.
• Don’t call the fire department when it burns down, either. Especially if you didn’t install a halon fire suppression system in every room and closet. Sorry for the loss of your house, neighbor, but your choices, your problem.
• Quit driving on public roads. Getting around without using them is your problem and I don’t want to pay for it.
• You’d better send your kids to private schools. It’s expensive, but hey, that’s your problem.
• Fortify the hell out of your home. If we ever get invaded, I don’t want the military defending it. It would suck if it got attacked and destroyed, but that’s your problem; I’m not bailing you out.

In fact, you know what? You should just drop out of society, go buy your own island, and declare yourself sovereign. There, you will only ever have to deal with your own choices and problems. You’ll never have responsibility for anyone else’s, and no one will have responsibility for yours.

The rest of us will be over here enjoying something called civilization, where people join together for their mutual benefit and aid.

I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.

I do the same thing, and it pays off. Afew months ago, my Dell computer was being really laggy. I had a maintenance contract, and when I called them, I gave them a detailed description of the behavior and a list of exactly what I had tried before calling (it was extensive and exhaustive). I could hear the gears in the support repository head grind to a half momentarily and then restart in another mode altogether, and she jumped right to advanced troubleshooting. It was a great moment for both of us,.
