yep vintage story is fun

i wrote a simple program to wiggle my mouse

you can guess why

it was a rip off from a coworker’s program

the labor is

rich fucks love under the table workers

just say you like the smell of your own farts, it would be less text for us to read for the same result

basically Elysium

people living like this don’t think into next week much less health insurance

these are the dudes social safety nets and medivac helicopters support

so you are saying Jesus was a stoner?

if i ever change my name i am stealing this

learned a cool new word today, thanks

the word selection was on purpose but the phrase was not, I just have a storm shelter (which I jokingly call the bunker) and likely mixed it up in my mind

makes me think of the reddit story about the guys dad would mix two idioms incorrectly on purpose (both things being malapropisms new from your link, related to malaphors which was new to me from that story)

I found one of the reddit posts I searched for afterwards

https://www.reddit.com/r/Malaphors/comments/1icz8cx/what_are_your_favorite_practical_malaphors_how_do/

nah that first post was readable

imagine that playing out over the nws radio

time to bunker down extra hard

we live in a post sarcasm world

clearly we need to hurry up and get AI in there, why are the Democrats stopping Elon from fixing this mess?

if you want respectful engagement don’t start off being a little twat

as to what I personally want?

I don’t even disagree in principle, ai is here and it’s not going away

what should happen is strong worker unions and regulation preventing the race to the bottom

we’re not getting any of it but you can keep your mouth shut

this is the same stupid fucking argument people made about horse armor

may you get the future you are hoping for

what nuance?

these are rich fucks shitting up another industry for profit at the cost of quality and talent

no one is mad a currently talented artists using ai to help create quality work (instead it is usually obvious slop) or people fucking around with ai personal use (instead fuckers try to pretend they ‘created’ something)

people are just tired of ai slop filling up the already dead internet with even more bot level trash

new technology is never used responsibly

business owners only care about minimizing costs and cornering control of new tech

history is full of examples

look at the industrial revolution, the tech will win but society isnt better in all ways

and this really isnt looking star treck so much as black mirror

not even sure his links counter the prior posts argument

seems like business leader bullshit promoting shit work because minimum cost is all they care about

this, this is what I am dealing with, thank you for teaching him

in my case it is a massive legacy codebase that I don’t actually control

i get very sporadic deliveries of it and I’ve version controlled them into a jank progression

the original is in clearcase with now git on top of it and my version control is in svn

there are very shitty unresolvable reasons for all of this

but this last update was especially bad as one of their new coders is super fucking OCD and rejustifying headers and footers and fucking comments, so whitespace shit in files he is not editing code in otherwise, so that is like 300-500 files not lines

i want to break a knee cap
