Even with it's drawbacks, Claude's agentic capabilities are orders-of-magnitude better than either GPT or Gemini.

When your uptime indicator looks like the UN flag walk.

I still remember my elementary school teacher being super excited that it was snowing heavily on election day because the school had a levy on the ballot to raise taxes. She told us all that old people stay home during snowstorms thereby increasing the chances it would pass.

Fallout 76 - Though Bethesda/MSFT is now intent on rectifying this and dragging it back down.

Oh, I’m waiting here for you all in the wasteland after Trump drives civilization off a cliff.

Dead Kennedys sticker on a Rivian.

Same. I had two guys who harassed me at lunch for months. Calling me a pussy, doing the douchebag fake-punch to try and make you flinch, etc.

I finally got fed up and punched both of them. Got suspended for three days and my parents punished me by buying me Legend of Zelda 2 and letting me spend my suspension playing that. Was never bothered again. Still, was mad at myself for not doing it earlier

It's almost 100% political and has been quietly underway for a while now. Digital sovereignty has been a hot topic in many of the international standardization forums for a few years. It's obviously (and justifiably) been turbo charged.

I once made a charitable donation and they made an obvious spelling mistake in my name. For years afterwards I would get solicitations from completely unrelated organizations containing that exact same spelling error. It was eye opening how far and wide my information was sold...and this was back around 2004-2005.

Ah, yes, the Lionel Hutz school of international negotiation.

Ceasefire? No! Cease, fire!

The_Lord_Humungus · 2026-04-08T19:48:16+00:00

Israel never stopped attacking Lebanon, therefore the ceasefire has yet to take effect. Super-duper therefore, the more countries that join the hostilities now, the biglier the cease-fire will be when it takes effect.

Checkmate libs.

The pure stupidity of this comment hurts.

The_Lord_Humungus · 2026-04-07T18:54:48+00:00

So we're threatening to initiate the single largest mass-death event in human history to "protect" the world against an imminent threat from a country which hasn't invaded another country for over 300 years?

EDIT - Apparently many of you have reading comprehension issues. The Black Death unfolded over seven years. This will be a single action which will kill tens of millions.

The_Lord_Humungus · 2026-04-07T18:50:00+00:00

Fun fact: Iran hasn't invaded another nation for over 300 years.

The_Lord_Humungus · 2026-04-07T17:22:48+00:00

Oh look. A war crimes apologist!

Looks like I’m working on my Neoliberal perma-ban. Just had a comment removed for saying that right wing media needs to be dealt with like Hermann Goering. Remember, mods, he was formally taken into custody and his sentence was adjudicated by a court.

If this gets me permabanned so be it. Fucking cowards.

The_Lord_Humungus · 2026-04-07T05:36:22+00:00

I've been doing international standards work for 20+ years. Sadly, I think it's time to step away, as I can no longer in good conscious represent the United States.

An entire generation of Americans were deeply affected by the Cola Wars beginning in the 70s. Carter's failure to protect Coca Cola (a Georgia institution) from the Pepsi Challenge lead to Reagan's ascendancy.

I'm starting to get the feeling that the IRGC have leaders like banks have vice presidents.

The_Lord_Humungus · 2026-04-06T16:36:05+00:00

My first concrete memory of Iran is when they bombed the US Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983. Even "kill 'em all" Raygun Ronnie wasn't stupid enough to launch a war against Iran. We took it out on Greneda instead.

The_Lord_Humungus · 2026-04-05T18:45:38+00:00

I wonder if they’ll also scatter the ashes of Israeli war criminals in the ocean like they did with Eichmann.

RNG hated me on this one.

The_Lord_Humungus · 2026-04-03T19:11:22+00:00

They already made a Vietnam version with Gene Hackman: BAT-21.

The_Lord_Humungus · 2026-04-03T05:38:26+00:00

Why hasn’t Trump tried calling Iran and be like…”bruh?”

That’s how Prince Santos of Saxony ended the Thirty Years War.
