“I can only breathe with a mask on my face when im hiding my identity to beat up on people of color!!! Any other time though, fuck off!!!”

I usually opt for my birthday suit but last time I did that I wasnt allowed within 100 ft of the gas station up the street anymore

It truly blows my mind that people need to use AI to write coherent sentences with proper punctuation at all. The shit that I receive in my inbox from people making far more money than me, that have multiple advanced degrees no less…it makes me weep for a future where no one is able to function without a computer holding their hand through the entire interaction.

We’re going to get to the point where its all AIs talking to each other and humans are merely pressing the send button.

Im sure a fair number of reps would do it for the promise of a board position once theyre done slumming it in public service.

It’s the same thing really, but without the “negative” connotations usually attributed to atheism or atheists. “See, I’m not really an atheist but agnostic. It means I’m not to be expelled from this community as a heretic”

This, basically. At least that’s how I used it. As a kid living in the bible belt, admitting you were an atheist was, in their eyes, literally no different than being a cannibalistic devil worshipper. Agnostic was easier for them to swallow (albeit because odds are high that most of them didn’t even know what it meant, and figured it was some sect of Christianity they were unfamiliar with).

When I got older, and escaped the institutional bigotry woven into nearly every facet of society down in the bible belt…the lovely place where our biology teacher also headed the bible club and refused to teach evolution yet somehow still had a job as a biology teacher in the public school system, as a small example…that was when I finally gained the confidence to self-describe as an atheist.

Had to learn that lesson in 2000 when I voted for Nader. It wouldnt have made a difference since the Supreme Court got bought off to throw the election to Bush, but that was the last time I dared play the foolish game of voting my conscience in the failed democracy we call the United (lol) States.

The unwritten part is where Trump gets a free gold plated golf cart or some other stupid shit to sweeten the deal.

Its grift allllll the way down.

Thats the best part about AI…when it shits the bed no one is directly responsible. Everyone just throws their hands up and says “nothing we can do about it!”

I know this is going to age me, but I saw this happening with self checkout in grocery stores 20 years ago. Nobody remembers how it was before so nobody even realizes that the time wasted standing at a stupid kiosk that is freaking out about unexpected items in the bagging area wasnt a problem back when human beings were scanning the shit.

I do procurement to the tune of 10+ million per year and I have seen a 300% increase in order fulfillment time solely due to those vendors pivoting to AI order fulfillment.

My direct reps at all these suppliers are just as powerless as we are…they know how unhappy their customers are, but these decisions were made much higher up then them and theyre pretty much being told to stop complaining because the AI is here to stay, even if it sucks, because its cheaper.

Welcome to the new normal.

They got me on chrome with this. I fought with it for about an hour but if I was logged in, videos just would not load.

So back to Firefox I go wheeeee

My favorite TSA experience was how my nephew was on a no fly list and we didnt find this out until we waited through two hours in line.

My nephews age at the time? 6 months old. The No Fly order was older than he was.

Lots of critical thinking going on with that lot, lemme tell you.

As if I didn’t already spend hours of my life trying to explain to accountants why they cant just continue using 10 year old hosts for the core production infrastructure lol

Always has been…
