Curtis has great “confused but well-meaning Grandpa” vibes.
He was saying Zohran’s name wrong because he couldn’t remember it. Not because he was being an asshole.
He fell for the AI ad but still defended “cultural differences” as normal (and not a negative).
My point is, he’s wrong about a lot, but I’ll give him credit for trying.
People are saying dementia, but also by many accounts he’s always been pretty stupid.
So I’m not sure this is one of those super damning pieces of evidence.
Also he usually says “I don’t know anything about that” or “we’re looking into that” when he wants to avoid a question or statement he doesn’t like.

politics •House Republicans exploring ways to prevent Mamdani from being sworn in as NYC mayor if he wins on Election Day
9·2 天前If they just say “no”, there will be some serious protests.
It would probably be enough of an excuse for the insurrection act.
Though I think that Wall Street being located in NY protects the city from some of Trump’s worst impulses.
You don’t want to disturb the traders.
We should boycott the second response.
Just an silent room. They’d reassess real fast.

As a treat.

Games•Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than everEnglish
7·7 天前I’ve yet to find a game that I couldn’t play (though knowing me I probably forgot one or two). It’s mainly mods that I’ve not been able to implement, as some of them require running an exe file.
However I’ve had very helpful people tell me I can do all that in a wine instance or something similar so mainly it’s just my own laziness (and lack of understanding about how to “do it in a wine instance”) that’s holding me back from installing fancy modpacks or playing the latest Stalker gamma version.
Also i don’t play multiplayer stuff so the anti-cheat thing issues don’t usually apply to me. So there’s that.

Work Reform•Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”
15·8 天前Yeah every programmer I know loves not being exposed to the manager who just “has a question” or just want to “check in”.

News•Supreme Court turns away Alex Jones' attempt to block $1.5B defamation judgment
2·18 天前I encourage everyone to check out the Knowledge Fight podcast, specifically the “Formulaic Objections” episodes series.
It’s “annotated” audio footage from the depositions of Alex and his coworkers/conspirators.
It is the best evidence that he’s just making it all up, and trying to make as much money as possible while dodging any kind of accountability.
Its also “annotated” by two real funny fellas. Worth a listen for sure.
Also some phenomenal work by the lawyers just constantly giving him just enough rope to hang himself.
All I remember from stamp class is that you’re Hermaphradhesive if you’ve got glue on both sides.
Honestly after one or two hurdles like that, I expect it to be a sunk-cost trap.
Where they make you jump through the hoops and then charge you to not feel like you wasted your time jumping through hoops.
Although one job site did allow me to download the new CV they made me before trying to charge me for an account.
But I bet it’s full of white text and creepy metadata (i.e. watermarks) so probably I will copy the design and make it from scratch myself.
At this point, I’m not sure they still need the poor. Automation will handle all the work.
Unless they want to keep a couple around as novelties to show off.
Or for sex. Probably they’ll keep some of them around for sex. Provided they still have that need.
I didn’t realise he was washing his face. Thought it was all just body fluids coming off his face.
I was impressed.

News•Chappell Roan Said “F**k ICE Forever” at a Concert. Homeland Security Responded
3·22 天前No, you’re right, Ms Noem. The men’s appearances were not mocked at all by the South park team.
/s
So many things out right now where the protagonist’s superpower is being old and tough/wise. And all the opponents are “young upstarts/punks”
“The old man” probably a but on the nose.
Tulsa King, Yellowstone etc
I uh… have to take your word for it.
I don’t think the bookmark worked so it’s just a whole book for me.
I was just kidding though.
However long term thinking isn’t exactly these guys’ favorite. It tends to get in the way of them having a good time.
That’s what the AI guard dogs are for.
Plus also preditive AI and eye tracking to check for those thinking of turning on him.

2·26 天前Regardless of if this is true or a joke, I feel that it would be sarcastic enough to count as the band having existed.
