Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

Said like a typical old person. 😉

But yeah, that's a dumb take. It's just as stupid as the "kids these days" stereotype, just from the other direction.

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god

This was an entertaining read.

College English majors can't read They have one job and they can't do it

This is one of the more depressing things I've read in a while.

You're welcome.

This particular instance could very well be BS, but I've seen multiple reports of similar things.

"AI" can be a useful tool, but I'm amazed at the propaganda blindly accepted without question, and the damage that's being done, technologically, economically, and socially through sheer ignorance.

Whoopsie.

I didn't realize you were on Bluesky. I'd love updated versions of the original graphs. Surely (says the non-graph-researcher) updating the data would be easier than starting from scratch? :)

How would you feel about me reposting those original graphs on Bluesky, with credit, obviously?

Person: say, i am alive. Computer: I am alive. Person: oh my god.

...horrifying message without context, thank you

Yeah, programming doesn't suck any more than any other job. I love game dev, but...there are always *those* days, no matter what your profession.

Programming s̵u̵c̵k̵s̵ doesn't suck in new and interesting ways compared to other jobs, perhaps? 😉

It's so annoying when someone has the right of way and they stop and wave at you to go ahead.

It's idiotic, and likely you'll both get tired of staring at each other and hit the gas at about the same time.

Quit being "polite" or whatever hairbrained shit you're trying to do. Just drive. [/rant]

Programming Sucks

I know this is old and dusty and everyone's probably seen it by now. I don't care; it's still funny.

If you're not a fan of constant surveillance, I suggest you stop using TikTok.

"DHS has sidestepped [the 4th amendment]...when ICE buys a location profile from a broker, it [argues that it] isn’t conducting a search of a person, it’s completing a commercial transaction with a business."

I've said it before, and will undoubtably say it again, but it's amazing to me how everything keeps getting stupider, way past the point where you'd suspect that everything's just about as stupid as it could possibly get.

ohhh ‘democracy dies in darkness’ was aspirational

Watch this is you want that warm fuzzy feeling.

Trump Does Not Take Reporters' Questions After Signing Executive Order In The Oval Office YouTube video by Forbes Breaking News

Impressive.

33 seconds: you can 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 Trump shit his pants
53 seconds: woman in green isn't appreciating it
Then the press are quickly herded out.

Founding Fathers are whirling, dervish-like, in their graves...like...supersonic speeds.

Good thing we didn't elect a brown woman though, huh.

Screenshot of an X.com post by “evan loves worf” (@esjesjesj) with the caption, “You called the police over internet death threats.” It shows embedded posts from Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog): one says police have been notified and threats are taken seriously; another downplays an incident, saying someone was sprayed with apple cider vinegar and calls the person a “drama queen.”

If someone ever sprayed Matt Walsh with liquid from a syringe we’d never stop hearing him whine about it.

Words are hard.
