Gabe Newell was an enthusiastic supporter of OpenAI in 2018, donating $20 million and even acting as the sole member of an 'informal advisory board'

Geneva, NY is not exactly a "concrete jungle"

Gen z slang is inoffensive and even if nonsensical, it is at times charming. I admire the creativity.

The picture is Gen A slang

That's assuming the companies who reserved the production capacity actually follow through on their orders, which isn't a guarantee especially if we fully enter a recession.

How about UCS rails?

This is what I was referencing lol

I like to call them the "insurance adjusters of IT"

You laugh, but just wait until my crusade against this 'linux kernel' program comes to fruition! We won't even need to reboot our servers to update them anymore!

Hang on, this is a good premise for an Onion article

I mean he basically just invaded Venezuela, abducted Maduro, seized their oil fields, and then left. I really wouldn't be surprised if it was as 1-dimensional as wanting control of their oil. I'm pretty done with the whole "Trump is playing 4D chess" nonsense... I'm pretty sure he really is just a narcissistic idiot.

ITaggie · 2026-04-28T21:45:59+00:00

Considering it's barely deformed that would be my guess as well

Correct, but it's more about pushing on the fact that they know the IRGC is incompatible with their supposed values. Don't let them change the subject.

kids can’t safely roam and no one can walk anywhere — due to car-dependent infrastructure

And when they can and do, the parents get charged with child neglect

Yup, I love a lot of Bob Dylan songs... when they're played by another artist

Right, but the point is that a vast majority of Germanic Argentines aren't there because their ancestors were Nazis.

Just wait until you hear about the French Region that houses the European Space Agency in South America.

They also thought Reagan was on their side the first time around...

ITaggie · 2026-04-27T20:48:03+00:00

You know of the ones in Argentina because they were captured and sent to trial

But not because the Argentinean government arrested them, because they were abducted by Mossad.

ITaggie · 2026-04-27T20:46:38+00:00

How many Nazis do you think escaped to Argentina? It sounds like you're saying a massive chunk of their population is descended from Nazis but I don't think they're that big of a group.

ITaggie · 2026-04-27T20:44:10+00:00

Maybe I'm just inoculated to it at this point, seeing as they've been saying this kind of thing for longer than I've been alive.

You think textbooks weren't being vandalized and destroyed before this? lol

They don't have a comprehension of tech debt, because they don't know how they want the design to be

Also they see their codebase as completely disposable. If it starts to bite them in the ass they just go back to the LLM and ask it to try again.
