  • Pretty good. Didn't have to worry about my parents barging in, or bickering, or any of that.

  • If the “geniuses” who run these tech firms spent less money lobbying politicians and instead offered to pay for the college tuition of every student who successfully graduated from the local high school, they would probably get a very different reaction from the public.

    Yeah , they could do a lot with their wealth. Unfortunately they are stupid and selfish. They're playing a dangerous game and eventually they'll roll for guillotines.

    Christian man sues employer for forcing him to see a Pride flag on his way into work. Eric Batman claims L.A.’s Department of Public Works violated his constitutional rights by making him come to wor…

  • What a piece of shit.

    In both 2024 and 2025, the department suggested Batman use the building’s rear entrance to avoid seeing the flag and that he seek counseling for any distress he might experience.

    Truly.

  • What is the number one problem you are facing?

    Jump

  • Well, at the top of the hierarchy is probably capitalism. That's largely why the climate is changing, why I don't have a good job, why I need a good job to live a decent life, and so on.

    More immediately, my water glass is empty but my cat is sleeping on my chest. I'm thirsty but Mr Meows is so content.

  • Have you ever panhandled? What was the experience like?

  • One time I was waiting near the train station for my old man to pick me up, and a kid thought I was homeless and offered me money. Confusing for everyone. Not homeless. Just had a gross beard and thrift store clothes.

  • Velocity is not helpful if you’re not pointed in the right direction, and even if you are pointed in the right direction it’s not useful if you overshoot your destination.

    I made this metaphor at work but management is not interested.

    Giving an incompetent team AI is like giving a child a chainsaw. Maybe he'll chop wood faster but that's probably not all that's going to happen.

  • This is true but you have to remember that management is stupid. Stupid and cruel, but mostly stupid.

  • This is part of why scumbags want to kill work from home.

    I can finish a task in an hour and fuck off. Harder to do in an office.

    They could also not be fucking counter productive management, and I'd keep working on stuff. But they'd rather have a bunch of pRoCeSs and nonsense.

  • For Americans who still use cash, what's the highest bill denomination you commonly use?

  • The ATM typically gives $20s, so that's what I usually get.

  • Cool. I'm so tired of management huffing their own farts about AI.

  • I work from home. The systemic incompetence of this multinational fortune 500 company means I can do a lot of reading and no one seems to notice.

    Of course, management is planning to fire a lot of people, including me, to pivot to AI.

  • Zitron's point that management are stupid is really important. They don't know what they're talking about. They don't do any work!

    You laugh, but this is genuinely how the majority of managers and executives think and act, and now they have a special chatbot that can fart out functional-enough prototypes to convince a Business Idiot they can do anything, because executives and managers do not regularly do much work. As a result, they have little idea what work looks like other than when they look over your shoulder, which is why they wanted you back in the office, and their distance from production is why the same people who were anti-remote work are now aggressively trying to shove AI down your throat.

    We are ruled by the worst fucking people.

  • New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani has collected $9m (£6.6m) in unpaid fines from Amazon, which has been violating clean air regulations by leaving engines running on its parked vehicles

    I don't think ICE is going to go away without violence.

    Now it feels like it's bogged down with ads and tracking and bots.
