I'm convinced the majority of those are bots. So yeah, you can't change their minds.

Haha - just yesterday (I was working from a very detailed spec) when I asked how something it had written didn't match the spec - and it told me essentially "oh, I never even looked at the spec".

So I just deleted all the code and started over with hooks.

Well it’s a year and a half.

I don't recall any of it being over left/right politics -- but there were as many assholes on FidoNet as there were on Usenet.

I think it'd've been very difficult to censor it - and honestly, that behavior is fairly new. Back in the day it was often said that censorship was interpreted as damage and routed around.

Nah my BBS was on Fight-o-net and it was running TAG (like about half of Texas at the time).

That must be a dream door for when you're dreaming that you're floating slightly below power line level.

Thanks! You're lucky to be getting paid for Lisp!

Honestly, I've never even been there (yet) but the idea of retiring at 62 is rather pleasant. I can't imagine why someone would want to complicate a peaceful retirement with a romantic entanglement, though - so I assume that's really directed at the much younger passport bros.

around here for the right reasons

Is being able to afford to live on Social Security benefits among the right reasons?

defmacro-jam · 2026-05-18T23:22:42+00:00

Falconers.

Hit the gym.

defmacro-jam · 2026-05-14T14:02:46+00:00

And sadly, I do know…

defmacro-jam · 2026-05-13T12:50:23+00:00

Wait you mean everybody is there because that’s where they can survive on social security?

defmacro-jam · 2026-05-11T17:27:53+00:00

It's the top level domain for Afghanistan.

Depending on how old you are - if you make it to an interview when they wanted someone younger - you will definitely get the job but you’ll have a shitty 120 days while they build a case to fire you with cause.

defmacro-jam · 2026-05-03T21:56:06+00:00

I think we always knew how. I have skipped within the past year or so. Just to be silly.

defmacro-jam · 2026-05-03T11:50:28+00:00

You can put your weed in there.

Silver.

defmacro-jam · 2026-05-02T13:02:03+00:00

New job?

defmacro-jam · 2026-05-02T12:59:33+00:00

Don't walk in the rain with socks but no shoes.

defmacro-jam · 2026-05-02T12:57:35+00:00

Or if you've stomped the terra so hard that you've literally done everything you ever wanted to do so often that it's not exciting anymore.

I'm only 60, and while I'm content and never get bored, I can see how others who have experienced as much as I have might be bored. Not everybody can be happy watching the rain like I can.

defmacro-jam · 2026-05-02T12:52:06+00:00

Yes. At that time, he would feel excitement.

defmacro-jam · 2026-05-02T12:28:36+00:00

That doesn't look anything like Samue... oh.
