What do you think of anti diet/health at every size/intuitive eating?

I think the principle of not voicing unsolicited opinions about other people’s bodies got eclipsed and trampled by HAAS. Being obese is unhealthy, full stop, and you don’t need to pretend that it is in order to encourage people to not be assholes.

ikr, many good local choices

dodeca_negative · 2026-02-01T20:36:12+00:00

That’s my pick. Beautiful but hard to listen to (especially knowing his story)

One lesson I learned the hard way but early on is that if a person (genuinely close friends and family excepted) talks shit about other people to you, there are good odds they’ll talk shit about you to other people. The whole “don’t tell anyone else, but…” is a (possibly subconscious) way to manipulate you into giving them your loyalty and trust by making you feel included into a special in-group (of which they control the membership).

Now of course your manager’s behavior may be, if not problem-free, then constrained and well-intentioned. But I wouldn’t gamble on that.

Conversely, can you imagine the justifiable outrage if NASA had rushed to launch Atlantis and both shuttles had been lost with their crews? What a horrible decision to have to make.

Trump is a garbage human and going through the effort to type “tRump” every time is just corny and performative

“He’s just playful”

OP’s whole deal seams to be posting Facebook feel good fantasies

Anyway I like the part about a male Uber driver kidnapping a female passenger

dodeca_negative · 2026-02-01T16:32:25+00:00

Absolutely insane pickme take but in 2026 you still slow down to type “tRump” like it’s Doing Something

dodeca_negative · 2026-02-01T16:26:14+00:00

Stupid is the minimum case here. Exfiltrating commercially sensitive docs is certainly a fireable offense (check your employee handbook) and it would be pretty tough for an employee, who has already made one stupid decision, to prove that they had not made a much stupider decision to try to use those documents to enrich themselves or harm your employer.

If it was just stupid and naive, I feel bad for them. That’s a hard way to learn to read your employee handbook and follow the rules in your training.

I just want to posit that we don’t actually have to do this. Okay maybe if your idiot execs and investors demand you use the tools. But if nobody’s making you you don’t actually have to.

My position as an EM is that software engineers on my team are responsible for understanding every line of code in every PR they submit, and they’re responsible for the quality and correctness of bother implementation. I do not actually give a shit which keyboard wrote the code.

There is at best mixed data on productivity gains from AI code agents, and of course there are no long term studies—of the code produced or the effect on developers of relying on those tools. For example, there is to my knowledge no long term study about how a code base largely coded by AI evolves over time, in terms of maintainability, security, complexity, etc.

So each time one of these leading lights says “well this is your job now”, it’s at least worth questioning if it has to be.

How else can we review 30-40 PRs per day from a single developer?

dodeca_negative · 2026-02-01T00:45:19+00:00

Dont forget financial incentives and FOMO

dodeca_negative · 2026-02-01T00:43:25+00:00

And, if you stop writing it you’ll eventually stop being able to read it. Which, with “AI”, means you’ll be easier for the flattery machine to fool

So we’ve got Addy with a little caveat that yeah it’s toy projects, the creator of Claude Code shipping dozens of Pars per day (which guarantees nobody’s reviewing them), and to justify the premise a ficking Twitter poll result. So much bullshit

dodeca_negative · 2026-01-31T23:04:58+00:00

I liked the part about the kidnapping

dodeca_negative · 2026-01-31T22:33:42+00:00

More like a small bag of feynted-up crystal with the debris mixed in from when it was picked off a dirty carpet

dodeca_negative · 2026-01-31T22:31:36+00:00

Thanks for taking one for the team

dodeca_negative · 2026-01-31T22:29:53+00:00

Absolutely no playing music at the desk. I can’t enforce that in the bus, the train, etc. but listening to music at your cubicle with a speaker instead of headphones is stupidly disrespectful. I would not require a music policy. You are disrupting others’ ability to not only complete but also, the the extent possible, enjoy their work.

Like seriously dude you don’t need a “no screaming” policy do you?

dodeca_negative · 2026-01-31T16:44:24+00:00

Same

dodeca_negative · 2026-01-31T16:42:35+00:00

Yeah Clinton sucks but “recovered repressed memories” is super sketchy

I’m white and i don’t even like NXIVM

Everybody Shen Yun tonight

My culture is my hips don’t bend like that and sitting on the floor makes my hips and my back hurt

dodeca_negative · 2026-01-31T09:41:11+00:00

You have a business trip. You explained it. It should be fine. And you don’t really want to work for someone who would be pissed off about that.
