I don't understand how Cuomo is polling so well. He's bad! He resigned in disgrace! The average person must just live in a haze

Impeach Johnson, too. Throw them all out via the 14th amendment. I'm so tired of the republicans being consistently the worst people on earth.

I was burgled. The cops came and looked around. Looked for finger prints. Didn't get anything. The guys who came were polite, at least.

They supposedly caught the guy because he left his wallet at another place he broke into.

I didn't get my stuff back. They didn't even try to help me get my stuff back.

Overall a 3/10 experience.

Finally, some good news.

I feel pretty confident musk doesn't know or understand semantic versioning

Conservatives don't want to solve real problems. They're like toddlers that are angry without understanding anything, but they want to scream and throw things. Broken people.

I know a public defender who's pretty good.

At one of my past jobs I wanted to institute a "put a dollar in the jar" rule every time someone made a useless bug report.

"The site is down" -> dollar in the jar.

"I'm trying to access the site via the public internet in firefox 136.0.3, and I'm getting a 500 on [request], and then the whole page is blank. Here's a screenshot." -> good

Sometimes people don't know. Sometimes they don't care. But if there's no consequences, people aren't going to change. And if they're not going to change, at least we can do a team lunch every week with the jar full of money.

We should name them in ways that lay the blame on the rich and polluting. "Exxon's Disgrace", "Elon's Deceit", whatever.

And when I expand the attached image and read the tiny print, I see you already went down this road. Well done.

Unless Israel is going to be a new borough of new york city, I don't see why it should be a top concern for the mayor.

"Do we have bike lanes?", contrary wise, would be.

For the techbrodude shills: this is called “allegory”. Maybe you can ask ChatGPT to explain it to you.)

This made me deeply sad that so many people are not literate enough to follow metaphor and allegory.

It's just emotions. No facts or consistency. Don't like thing? Call it bad-name-thing. All that word means is it's bad.

They are like toddlers.

This is a good one for Garfield minus Garfield.

CrossCode has such charm. The puzzles are good, but I find myself tired after playing it in a way other games don't give me. I should finish it.

Shadowrun for Genesis was amazing! Ahead of its time. The way it semi randomly generated jobs for you to do was pretty unique. Like Bethesda radiant quests, but decades earlier and better. I really enjoyed rising up from the weakest street runner to someone with enough reputation to skip the line at the expensive club.

The leveling system was also pretty advanced for Genesis.

Also the cyberspace hacking was wacky and fun.

That's a big part of it. There's also a lot of ignorance and stupidity.

They'll be like "I don't want government in health care" but also want Medicare and Medicaid.

That could be true in some cases. Not so much when it's the middle of the day, in rich suburbia, with your family, and there's a lot of other people around.

There's that poem(?) about that

"""

"Get off this estate."

"What for?"

"Because it's mine."

"Where did you get it?"

"From my father."

"Where did he get it?"

"From his father."

"And where did he get it?"

"He fought for it."

"Well, I'll fight you for it."

Reminds me of how my (able bodied) mom would drive around looking for a closer parking spot for far longer than it would have taken to just walk from the first available one.

It's kind of baffling to me. All of my friends are to some degree engaged in politics. But there are probably whole chunks of society that just brain rot through the day looking at memes and don't really think about anything.

I think I kind of radicalized one of the guys I worked with just by talking to him about broad strokes of history and labor. If instead of me they had hired some bland "don't talk about anything" standard guy, he might not have learned much. Talking to people can help.
