  • Listen, I can’t just not use Amazon. Where else am I going to get my SYPHILICHODE nail trimmers and LEAKCROTCH underwear?

    You can’t just find horrible garbage to buy ANYWHERE, you gotta buy it on Amazon.

    I can live without it for a week, but man, these underwear don’t last too long so I gotta keep buying more!

    (/s in case this was not sufficiently clear, but this is the ultimate problem with all these pointless little internet symbolic gestures: nobody will notice, remember, or care about them since they’re only going to be a very minor stoppage in buying things, which everyone ends up buying ANYWAYS after the week is over.)




  • Elon has always been a terrible person

    The problem with Elon is he’s been provably an idiot for the past 25 years.

    The first thing I ever heard about Musky is that back in 2000-ish he wanted PayPal to take their infra, throw out all the Linux/BSD in use, and move everything to Windows NT.

    Anyone who was even remotely IT adjacent in that era can come along and tell you how utterly moronic that idea is.

    Anytime I’ve ever heard him blather on about some stupid shit that doesn’t exist except in his delusions or talk about, well, ANYTHING technical or specialized all I was ever able to think of is that he got lucky that Thiel didn’t drain all of his blood and leave his corpse in a ditch.





  • I hate to go ‘Boy, I don’t buy it’ but, uh, I kinda don’t?

    This is one of those things that COULD happen, as long as every teacher, every administrator and the state itself were all intentionally trying to make it happen.

    CT has standardized tests that are required to be taken to progress through school, so how can someone who can’t read or write pass those?

    And EVERY teacher she had from first grade on just accepted the fact she clearly was unable to read or write, and thus was almost certainly not doing any work, and just decided that’s a-ok and we’ll just pass her along anyways without doing anything?

    Somehow feels like there’s a lot more to this story than just her side as presented by that article.
