Duh, it’s run by IBM. The most brain-rotted management suite on earth. All they do is chase the cool new hotness, and unfortunately it works for them – they’re mostly selling to other brain-rotted manager types. (The end users, as usual, get hosed.)
Indianapolis built the central mile square of streets aligned with magnetic north, but then the rest of downtown aligned with true north. It’s almost aligned, which causes problems at that border.
The entire “AI” industry feels built on the premise that you never have to get permission for things.
I’m annoyed at the state of Apple’s app ecosystem. MacOS is worse this year than it’s been in a long time and I’m not updating on Macs that I control.
But have you used a windows pc recently? It’s like banging rocks together. Somehow, they keep finding ways to make it worse every year. Or month. So yeah, I’m using a Mac because it’s the less terrible option.
(And good luck getting your IT people at work letting you put Linux on your laptop.)
We have been complaining about this shit for YEARS.
You should try yelling “money” again, that’ll definitely convince people. Of. Well, whatever it is you’re trying to convince us of.
There is nothing as hilarious as someone trying to use fancy words but missing pretty basic concepts of the language.
You’re trying to sound smart. It’s making you sound dumber.
“I am so smart, the answer is obvious. So I won’t tell you. If you don’t get it, you’re not as smart as me.”

I can’t think of a more direct way to get ignorant parents to understand the harm they’ve caused than for their own children to suffer from their actions
I don’t need them to understand. I’m okay if they’re angry. They can throw a fit on Facebook and get a million likes. But if their kid doesn’t get the measles, it’s worth it.
You’re saying you want to be proven right. I’m saying I don’t care what they think as long as their kids are okay.
And yeah, I’m from the US. A rural town from a flyover state. My parents vaccinated me during the Clinton administration because the whole right wing coalition was there to disagree with him, not convince their rank and file that he was the antichrist.
They can’t make their constituents hate “the left” (for whatever that’s worth in the US) any more than they already do. So why not just do the right thing? You’re correct in that center-left people will never enact what I’m suggesting. I’m going to stick around and make sure better people replace them.
In fact, I see a solution
I can’t conceive of any context in which this doesn’t mean “the suffering of children is a good outcome.” Like, the suffering of children will convince their parents that they were wrong?
There is a simple solution:
That won’t get everyone. But it’ll get enough to ensure broad community immunity. The people writing and implementing the laws just have to be willing to grow a spine and say “your opinion as a parent does not overrule medical science.”
I was raised by said conservatives and if I was born thirty years later I’d have been unvaccinated. I don’t have a good answer for you. But you’re condemning a lot of people (that may eventually disagree with their parents!) to a pretty unhealthy existence.
Maybe consider being a little less gleeful when thinking about dead kids, even if their parents are assholes.
Being raised by conservative assholes shouldn’t be a death sentence.
There’s an AMERICAN word for that, and it’s WOKENESS, a debilitating and contagious condition President Donald Trump has worked hard to eradicate, along with other liberal failings like empathy, honesty and inclusion.
Gonna go out on a limb and say it’s satire.
People have been begging for big tech companies that rely on open source software to support development. Netflix finally did the dang thing.
More, please!
The person I replied to was effectively saying those people will never face justice. I am saying that if enough people say that out loud, it’s actually causing it to be true.
Cynicism sucks. It convinces people that it’s not worth trying. Including the person spreading it.
It’s always worth trying.
Yeah but those people actually believed things. Our people are sniveling shitheads whose beliefs only extend to the extent they can benefit from them.
Except Stephen Miller, maybe.
I cannot wait for every one of these people to stand in front of judges and try to weasel their way out of it.
Little baby got booed at the UI-Miami game and doesn’t want to hear it anymore
I lived downtown for a couple of years and drove north on Illinois street to get to work. This swerve as it crossed 16th street and the corresponding confusion to drivers just about killed me a few times.
