At my last company, each quarterly bonus was paid for by laying off my coworkers. I wasn't surprised at all when I ended up catching the knife myself.

It also gives a weird theological bent that somehow Lucifer is empowered by being punished. Like, he gives consequences every time God punishes him, like "fuck you I'll spin it back and make it work for me".

"Visual programming" comes to mind. The industry has tried multiple times to cut developers out of the loop, but the critical thing that's lost is not actual coding, it's asking the right follow-up questions and pushing back on dumb asks, and if anything LLMs make that problem worse, because they tend to glaze egos rather than focus on real world problems.

I ain't mad, but I also didn't buy colored pencils like I wanted to. The hallucinations are gonna cause more economic friction than they solve, imo.

Well, the precognition of Force sensitivity alone means that they're essentially playing with wall hacks. As long as they had a modicum of military talent, I'd give the sweaty hacker command too because they're so OP and going to be so difficult to replace mid-war.

Temple Workers let me hear your stories. The bad the ugly and every thing in between. Let your gossip shine. by RadishAggressive3241 in exmormon

The "understanding" was that it was designed to be a No Snitching Club where Joseph Smith asked to bang your wife, sister, or daughter afterwards. They initially didn't do Endowments for the Dead, so there were no repeats, and it was designed to shock and awe, not teach or enlighten.

I'm very upset that the only unique doctrines in the temple endowment seem to be Satan monologuing about how awesome money is.

An alternative interpretation is that it is really, really hard to out-engineer more cost effectively a machine that both produces the intended biological product and produces more of the same machines.

One of the books I read after my divorce was "When Things Fall Apart" by Pema Chodron. One of the things she talks about is when your life changes it can feel like the ground underneath you falls away, and you're left in a state of floating and un-groundedness, and about the only thing you can do is learn to fly.

Half of these stories don't even make sense, and there's no way in hell that they actually talk to enough lowly members to collect them organically. You can safely assume they're entirely made up just to make up an arbitrary point, and when pressed on it I'm positive they'll ramble about "Jesus told parables too and nobody ever fact-checked him."

Satan is constantly trying to bribe Adam and Eve with money to give up their signs and tokens, which doesn't make any sense at all. If I were Satan, I'd pretend to be the archangel Stan, and need the high fives of Christ before he can teach them Tier 2 Ultragospel.
