I feel compelled to point out that “back door man” was already a common expression in blues lyrics.

Well, well, well. If it isn’t the consequences of my actions…

I mean, what sane woman would be a Republican?

I was thinking a nice golden throne. More appropriate for a god-emperor.

I’ll just write thousands of lines of code inside a global object… I’m sure I won’t put a semicolon where a comma should be…

Can I teach you a lesson?

Yep. But I refuse to use their damn app. And they deliberately make the interface on the mobile site cumbersome. It’s tons of fun.

Was that Edelweiss? I don’t know what to do with this.

Okay, you didn’t have to put so much mustard on it.

Unless they are themselves Jewish…

Oh no, not Lucas!

A similar phenomenon is knowing you’re going to need to go back and update some older section of code and when you finally get around to it, it turns out you wrote it that way to begin with. It’s like… I didn’t think I knew about this approach before…

Yeah but it’s not some big mystery why Margaritaville sucks. The lyrics are asinine and empty. What’s worse: it’s catchy.

This isn’t the most substantive of your comments in this chain, but I think it deserves some attention. It’s perfectly worded and it’s a concept more people need to embrace: you don’t have to speak in absolutes and it’s okay to express the limits of your knowledge.

Like the infosquitos: “this guy sure loves porno!”

Do you have any theories as to why this is the case? I haven’t gone anywhere near it, so I have no idea. I imagine it’s tied up with the way it processes things from a language-first perspective, which I gather is why it’s bad at math. I really don’t understand enough to wrap my head around why we can’t seem to combine LLM and traditional computational logic.

Katamari Damacy is the first one.

Oh man that’s… Well done, well done!

Points for “sassy robot.” But you could have described it worse. This was the first one I could identify.

I was raised Catholic, but I’ve been an atheist for—oh fuck I’m old—more than half my life. But… Monastic life seems pretty dope. Why can’t there be a secular order that’s just devoted to knowledge/contemplation for its own sake (or the betterment of humanity). I know it kind of sounds like I’m describing a university, but I mean with the personal discipline, strong communal bond, and simple lifestyle.
