Ditto.

I still had not started S2 when all that shit broke and now I never need to.

Netflix would be one of my top examples of a company that does well despite idiots being in charge.

Go back to my previous comment just because I added a fun and true bit about Google's stupid AI search. It amazes me how things get released in clearly broken states these days. Anyway, our prior HR person showed me how they do all the searching, and as it turns out, they just have access to the dat...

ChatGPT is not programmed to make those changes. The HR person asking it the question could, but they'd have to know about the trick and ALL variations of it. Plus, as Google has proven the past few days, AI search is crazy overrated. Unless you think eating a rock a day, mixing glue into your mozza...

And this is despite how many decades of people very publicly saying, "We want the source material. Do not diverge from it."

Got to make it appeal to everyone though, right?

Nobody Saves the World

I think I got this in a Humble Bundle. Cute RPG where you are a dude with no memory. You are in a kingdom in danger and you find a wand. The wand allows you to change in various forms and this is how you play the game. The forms are Nobody, Egg, Rat, Archer, Guard, Monk, Robot, Zombie, Mermaid, Drag...

If he had a track record for being shitty, why was he allowed to continue? In a union? There is a union, yes. Also, it's a good bet he had friends who helped him. The long standing and poorly kept rumor in the NBA is that David Stern had certain refs he'd send to playoff games to ensure a series we...

No sir.

The only "packaged program" is hiring an agency.

It'll take a while for the internet, particularly HR people, to figure out this hack is being used, and how to get around it.

Social media destroys civilization!

So why? Just because if they can target comments appropriately, that person is more likely to return, and give them more ad revenue? Yes. The same reason why some people watch CNN/FOX and bash the one they don't watch. I think that's TikTok exclusive though. I see all sides on X/Twitter. TikTok is ...

I think it's probably worth it long run though, especially if government subsidies are paying for it.

I like the sentiment of these now deleted tweets, but let's be honest, it's election year lip service and pretty clear they don't understand the holiday.

A couple are legit or seem to be applicable elsewhere, but some are just blatant wastes of money. Do people look at potential lifetime earnings or even potential jobs/careers when picking a major?

Mass stabber in Mass and his picture begs more questions.

I know I've seen him play the villain in an 80s movie, I just can't place which one. :D
