people would tell you to RTFM if your question was answered anywhere in the documentation

Modern day internet techies will snear at you for using AI assist tools when setting up an environment. But by god, do these agents not save me endless hours of trying to decipher the Dead Sea Scrolls of system configuration.

RTFM only works when the documentation is high quality and easy to follow. Better yet, if you know the manual so well, just link me to the damned chapter I’m supposed to focus in on. I’m trying to set up an *arr stack, not become a sysadmin team lead at a Fortune 500 company.

Never mind DMAs and IRQs, you had to manually write config files specifying the geometry and refresh rate of your monitor.

In fairness, a lot of those config files were relatively easy to write. I’ll take that over hunting through forty different nearly-identical screens in a custom configured BIOS.

Both sides arguments make people sound extremely stupid

What did the Biden Administration do to prosecute the Epstein client list?

What do you think the Pete Buttigieg administration is going to do in 2029? What do you think he’s going to do about the Silicon Valley sponsored rape gangs popping up all over the country? Aella the new Epstein and nobody fucking cares.

It’s because of the proven nazis and rampant pedophilia

Obama worked hand-in-glove with Elon Musk to funnel tens of billions of dollars of grants, tax credits, and government contracts into shareholder pockets. Biden handed TikTok to Larry Ellison’s failson. Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill are continuing to do enormous amounts of business with Palantir and Flock. Gavin Newsom vetoed a California bill to protect local doctors from extradition for abortion-related crimes in other states.

The Nazis and the Pedophiles aren’t confined to a single party. They are part of a wealthy upper class, dedicated to exploiting the labor of their neighbors and to extracting natural resources at everyone else’s expense.

Andrew Cuomo and John Fetterman are not your fucking friends just because they have (D) party affiliations. Henry Cuellar and Bob Menendez are not working towards your better interests.

They should really be running those nonstop to win all the elections.

I think Democrats embracing Epstein-ism are going over about as well as Republicans hysterical over transgender players in the WNBA. This isn’t a GOTV tactic, it’s a fundraising gambit. “Look, I’m totally owning the other guys! Send me more money so you can keep seeing these ads!”

Half the Epstein client list is running the Trump government right now.

And the other half is vacationing with the Clintons on Martha’s Vineyard.

That’s got nothing to do with the price of diesel, though. It’s got nothing to do with rent or childcare or AI data centers spiking your electricity bill or the latest recall of tainted grocery stock.

Ask the real questions but on TV and all the Facebook ads you can buy.

Or just run an ad of your candidate drawn South Park style, farting on Donald Trump’s head.

Just don’t talk about Palestine. Don’t talk about ICE. Don’t talk about how the City of Corpus Christi is in a permanent water shortage crisis.

Climate Change -> Wet Bulb Temperature -> The sweety underboob

I do kinda think there’s a through-line between people into horoscopes and people who never want to make a decision.

because like half of all women are into astrology

In the same way that half of all men are into video games, sure.

they get really really angry with you if you don’t take them seriously when they start lecturing you about it

I’ve definitely had girls explain it to me. And I’ve stepped in it when I teased one too hard, because she just read me as an obnoxious prick (which… in my early 20s… she wasn’t wrong).

But I see astrology get the same treatment as veganism. You mention, in passing, that you’re into a thing. People line up around the block to heckle you and argue with you and scream slurs at you. And for some reason this doesn’t really change you opinion on The Thing You’re Into. It just changes your opinion on dating or on talking to anyone outside your insulated The Thing community.

Dated a girl and, while we were walking through the park, she points up at the sky. “Oh look, Chemtrails”. I absolutely bust up laughing, because I assume I’ve accidentally stepped into a relationship with a conspiracy theorist. She looks incredibly confused. I explain what chemtrails are. She gets even more confused. We whip out our phones for a minute. She says, “Omg I meant contrails”

She’s a lawyer at a white shoe firm now and makes, like, twice as much as I do in IT. Also, absolutely incredible in the sack.

Reminds me of Nothing, Forever

My wife is Chinese, she watches so much dramas written by Chinese AI.

Chinese dramas had people watching them in droves long before AI. And they were already the same six plots shuffled around between interchangeable starlets for decades.

It’s just wild to pretend something like 118 or In-Laws, Outlaws couldn’t be written without the help of AI.

The slot machine is super intelligent

Eventually, the slot machine will become God.

Millionaires aren’t really contributing

The multimillionaire used car dealer, the retired middle manager, and the seventh generation family money failson make up the backbone of the party going back to the Hoover Era.

Plenty will say whatever is popular, then donate to candidates who do the exact opposite.

A billion here. A billion there. Pretty soon, you’re talking about a lot of money.

The dirty truth is that it’s far cheaper to bribe officials not to tax you then it is to pay taxes.

It’s California. He won’t lose while Gavin Newsom and his friends are in power.

How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately “elevated” Donald Trump with its “pied piper” strategy

Losing to Trump was the punchline

I wouldn’t hold my breath.

They were rare bordering on apocryphal during the Draft days of Vietnam. In modern days, all these idiots and assholes are volunteering to be there.

Far more often, you’ve got people in the trenches who aren’t natural born killers and balk at pulling the trigger on anyone. It’s a reflex military training is designed to force out of you.

One of the things Hegseth’s obsession with War Fighters and Testosterone and steriods is intended to “fix”. He doesn’t want an army full of medics and engineers and mechanics and accountants. He wants a bunch of macho gun totting trigger pullers who go frothing berserk mode when the shooting starts.
