Me at 20: I want to make a difference in the world

Me at 40: maybe if I stand really still and never speak again, I won’t fuck anything else up

Cashier: you must be single

Me: you calling me ugly?

Cashier: no your cat is bagging your groceries

Ex-Amazon employees on the almost impressively cynical way Amazon smile started:

I guess what I'm most curious about in the Leopard-2 nonsense is whether the current German position is:

a) Clearly understood in Germany;
b) Playing well there politically.

Externally it's obviously neither - a garbled incoherent mess. All politics is local however and if it's playing well domestically it's at least understandable if not ethically justifiable... but is it?

God of War should not be Steam Deck Verified when it will hard crash the Steam Deck.

I'm cursed with living in a building where the mirror in the elevator is much better than the mirror in my bathroom, and I do not wish this upon my worst enemy

A young couple came to the door asking if I’d found Jesus.

I told them I had no idea he was missing and that I had an alibi.

I was there was the original OGL was created. I know first hand how hard those drafting it tried to sincerely make it so that it would last forever and would never screw over anyone that used it. So when we decided to create a Cypher System open license with the same goals, of course we used the OGL as a model. And now after two days of potential WotC shenanigans, people are looking at our open license as though it's dodgy. Sigh.

I like how Fergie starts the bridge in "Boom Boom Pow" with an exhortation to "people in the place", rather than just "the club". Perhaps you're in a Kia dealership! Or an underground ferret neurosurgery parlor! Truly a pioneer of inclusive language. 🙏

This close to uninstalling Snapchat. Just the worst social media imaginable

Last isthmus I gave you my chart
the very next day
you sank to your grave
This year
a ghost ship appears
you turned into something spectral

Rust doesn’t make your application fast. But if your Rust application is slow it’s not the language’s fault. I feel like this needs to be emphasised with all the “blazingly fast” apps out there. Rust makes it easier than ever before to write fast software, but it’s still hard.

There’s a type of guy that thinks nothing can be funny except if it’s racist or sexist, and comment sections are full of them

Do flat earthers think all the planets are flat or just earth?

Wind and solar are well and good, but I am yet to see a country with low-carbon electricity that don't rely primarily on hydroelectric or nuclear power. I feel like we have a big "we'll cross that bridge when we get there" attitude about this. Long-distance electricity transmission is held up by nimbys. Batteries alone can't fill the gap from hours without electricity generation. And solar doesn't really work in the winter. It feels like there's really no plan for what we're gonna do here

I think the photo’s just been taken from quite close up, to be honest with you.

i’m not overreacting when i say i’d either 1) quit my job or 2) burn the building down
