UNDERSTAND THE PALM OF MY HAND

the way this is like baaaaarely parody

bringing in a second actor towards the end of the video to deliver a single devastating punchline is brilliant writing

I don't think dust needs to exist personally

listen this vintage meme is high quality and i will hear nothing said against it

20 years. I am not happy about this.

I’m delighted at the bucket reappearing but dismayed at the passage of time

Happy 20 years to Lolrus and his bucket!

Soon enough the cigarette emoji 🚬 will go the same way as the real gun emoji and they will replace it with Blue Raspberry Ice Sour Fuck 9000 Disposable Vape

On the flip side, this is also a good case study in how using technical terms in casual settings can alienate laymen, and why explaining those technical terms is going to be more helpful than scolding laymen for raising an eyebrow at them.

one of the many problems with 'listen to x voices' rhetoric is that in order to be in the diaspora & gain citizenship in the first place your family often has to conform, to some degree, to western policy regarding our home countries & then those are the most plentiful voices in the west who talk about our countries. they will try to convince you that this is "the true voice" of the people of that country but they will gleefully advocate for foreign interventions that result in the widespread destruction and looting of their home country + they will position themselves as the greatest victims in all of this. but they clearly do not view the people back home with any kind of genuine solidarity or kinship only as pawns in their own personal narrative (revenge for an imagined alternative life back home, one where you still owned land or a held position of power there) and an opportunity to seize power for themselves. & then people in the diaspora develop a complex when people back home don't like them and don't agree with them & start claiming that everyone in the home country is brainwashed and the only way to free them is by invading and bombing everyone. they don't even view their cousins and family back home as real people, in this type of person's mindset simply by coming to west you are made real in a way that the rest of the world is not, it's sickening. and i know this song and dance very well like i'm in the western diaspora and the amount of ppl i meet who position themselves as progressive people but on the topic of foreign policy re: the home country sound like they work for radio free asia and are on the cia's payroll and chomping at the bit begging canada and co to bomb their country of origin is completely insane & if you even try to push back against this you're socially ostracized. same people will do land acknowledgements and then shun you for not supporting our government warmongering overseas it's just maddening

Yeah, it's kind of funny that a lot of companies are now re-hiring junior programmers to save on LLM credits, but it's not surprising. From a pure line-goes-up perspective, working people to death is almost always better than automation. That isn't an indictment of LLMs in particular – it's just how this shit works.

Like, yeah, joke about the "self-driving car" service that turned out to be employing remote drivers in the Philippines if you want, but it's not only a tech grift; the fact of the matter is that even if the technology was there, making that guy in the Philippines pull sixteen-hour shifts with no bathroom breaks until he dies of a bladder infection is almost certainly cheaper than "real" AI would be, and that's the actual reason they do it. They wouldn't deliver on their promises even if they could.

Someone is eating a fresh orange in this McDonald's. I smelled it and my head snapped up like a hunting dog. That smell doesn't belong in this wicked place
