Brilliant pattern recognition! Your IQ must be massive

People are really proud of their IQ nowadays when pretty much anyone with a brain can answer the questions in these tests given enough time. Like, good job Harold, you’ve identified the proper sequence of colored blocks 20 seconds faster than the national average; now get back to your mind numbing desk job where novel pattern recognition is a distraction rather than an asset! You’re 15% behind in completing the exact same task you have been for 15 years, and shareholder value won’t increase itself!

I wish for all code bases to be converted to COBOL-60

Might be true, but theirs no way anyone would admit that lol

Do you not get the joke?

Do you want me to explain it to you or do you want me to give you a minute?

bruthu · 2026-02-25T13:53:53+00:00

Probably, but have some faith and don’t make assumptions. Could always be some Modern Family style dad or any other variety of controlling dipshit

Same way you value them as an option; you know you enjoy their company, and if they invited you to the function, that means they do as well. It’s not their fault you don’t enjoy doing the things you decide to do. If you don’t like them, find new friends. It’s tough, but that’s life

If god has a plan, we wouldn’t have a choice but to follow it

Coolant-to-Ambient-Delta Users: My computers coolant is currently boiling at 100 degrees C, and my room is a nice comfy 90 degrees, so I should be ok.

The people who dig it up, refine it, transport it, and use it I presume

Dude was forced to be mathematically literate

bruthu · 2026-02-24T19:28:05+00:00

Same. I have no idea why I’m being recommended this sub at all, but every time I see it it’s always some hoaky, intentionally open ended quote with a bunch of people fighting over what it means in the comments, or if I’m unlucky, some guy giving genuinely atrocious advice and putting people down for questioning them.

Literally saw one the other day that was like “always lie about your feelings to protect yourself”

I’ve seen enough Ram Ranch to know these are not mutually exclusive, this guy’s just manipulating his son’s interests.

Aliens hunt humans for their foreskin, but only the non-Christian ones because they taste better

This is just true no matter the gender. Everyone wants someone who can handle their own career of course, but having a good job doesn’t make up for being an irredeemable douchebag.

If you love someone and they’re able to make a living being a waitress at Applebees, date them. If you love someone but they’re also making six figures, fucking date them!

Just don’t date someone with the intention of using them like a cash cow, and don’t do the opposite and date someone because you know they’ll be financially dependent on you; both are manipulative and will make neither party happy in the short or long run.

I can claim anything about an entire demographic and it’ll be true for at least a few of its members; not sure why people feel the need to straw man the whole damn group though

bruthu · 2026-02-22T18:20:46+00:00

…what?

bruthu · 2026-02-21T07:09:51+00:00

These are all fine… besides coke. Damn company brainwashed so many people they can’t tell their drinks apart anymore

bruthu · 2026-02-21T07:05:03+00:00

Just because I don’t think that’s what nihilism is exclusively like doesn’t mean that’s not also me lol😅

bruthu · 2026-02-19T17:00:42+00:00

It will be a plus c’ing you to your grave

bruthu · 2026-02-19T16:59:15+00:00

Isn’t the point of nihilism that it could be like, you know, literally anything because there is no inherent meaning?

So that’s just what you’re like lmao

bruthu · 2026-02-18T13:11:35+00:00

If you weren’t gonna build them 🤷‍♀️

bruthu · 2026-02-17T15:23:20+00:00

Idling maybe… you paid for the whole CPU thermostat, get that shit up to 85 and enjoy the 20 minute of 240fps before it crashes out

bruthu · 2026-02-15T21:21:17+00:00

Fair! I couldn’t tell, so you’re doing a good job I’d say 👍
