If you get caught using that …

That’s just how cars handled in the(19)70’s. The handling made me laugh because it’s accurate!

Replace parrot with ChatGPT and it stops being funny and starts being relatable.

Had a director one who would start meetings with “Let’s get the worst news done first”.

On the occasion when there was no good news he’d say “Good news is we get to try again”

I miss that guy sometimes.

Historical fact: In the distant past, guys like this belonged to a Union, and the union told them how to vote.

The union was led by ruthless people whose power was entirely dependent on the support of the union.

The union leaders kept their people happy by negotiating better prices for their labor, and the happy people did what the leaders said. Their tribe was the union, and the tribe stuck together.

At some point the owner class realized it was easy to redefine what happiness meant for idiots: Lying. A lot. Tricking absolute idiots is easy, so they started whittling away at unions with promises of prosperity a union leader could never fulfil, until we get to today where unions and union membership is lower than it’s ever been.

And idiots like that still vote for who their handler tells them to, only their handler now has zero investment in keeping them happy. Lying to them is sufficient as long as the rest of the tribe reinforces the lies. The tribe is now everyone too stupid to not vote for Hitler, and the tribe sticks together.

Ha!

Ah yes, the Chimpambidextrous Fling.

Sure, but a change in behavior can make the latter half of those years a lot more enjoyable. I used to work with nurses and the stories they’d tell of 30/40 somethings living like invalids visiting dialysis clinics three to five times a week is heartbreaking.

even just a heap of “Italian seasoning” thrown in there makes a passable sauce. A can of crushed tomatoes and a can of tomato paste and a handful of Italian seasoning (with salt to taste) and you’ve got a decent college-kid budget sauce.

I wanted one back before we knew what they looked like.

I still wanted it after based on specs and price once it was announced.

When it came out smaller, less range, twice the price, and slathered in the stink of everything musk has done since 2019, I can’t help but shake my head in disappointment every time I see one. Absolute disaster compared to what could have been.

Start at 100% and work down from there?

I was once heard of a team where two equally, incredibly talented candidates were options. One of them had the same name as two other people on the team so they picked the other guy. Can’t have three John’s ya know?

(The name wasn’t John, it was a fairly uncommon name, which made it waaaaay funnier)

In the most technical sense, that was DEI hire.

Just gotta figure out how to turn their proboscis inside out with gene editing, make that an oral med, put it in a “supplement”, and get marketing to sell it to them as a dick enhancer.

Make sure to label it “HOMEOPATHIC” and the government will leave you alone.

1. Tax them enough that they don’t have the cash to just up and build their own personal-use nuclear powered, nation spanning infrastructure.

2. Use those taxes to build a nation spanning nuclear infrastructure that everyone can use.

Because then the fraudsters end up with all the money, buy an e-news paper, or get a game show, and end up running for president. It’s not an excellent idea to let fraud run rampant on your society.

twice as many concepts of plans.

That “kinda” is bearing a load the size of the Earth. It’s a galaxy of presumptions rolled up into five letters. If it had a name, it would be “Atlas”.

Chargebacks are a huge pain in the ass and everyone involved hates doing them. The chargeback fees are supposed to be a disincentive to curb the behavior. It’s mostly automated now, but there’s a whole “accusation/response/appeal” process that businesses need to actively participate in or risk just getting money clawed back Everytime a chargeback happens, regardless of reason. This causes friction between merchants and payment processors that sometimes leads to one dropping the other. Being in a business where chargebacks happen a lot requires a commensurate amount of work. They suck. (Yes, I’ve worked in this realm. Even when it’s all automated and works well, it still sucks).
