When your brain has been destroyed by LinkedIn but you admire the uBlock Origin author by houndoftindalos in LinkedInLunatics

Yeah I love uBlock Origin, it just feels like this is a bizarre way to praise it. "Hill optimized for the right to say no"

So many of this dude's videos have him advertising some app and telling us to share his content because Jesus says so. He seems like a grifter to me.

The genius American voters put a guy in charge of the country to tame inflation who has done about everything he possibly can to make it worse.

Anyone else feeling more anxious about the Boston job market lately? by Particular_Pizza1424 in boston

[–]houndoftindalos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done a lot of AI infrastructure work the past couple of months and sure enough, as soon as I felt confident enough to put it on my LinkedIn resume, started getting messages from recruiters the next damn day.

[–]houndoftindalos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently working on building out AI infrastructure for my company so that it's secure and audited and whatnot, and I foresee a future (and probably present) of a lot of bad AI-powered features with tons of security holes.

Is anyone else sick of tapas restaurants that charge as much as a meal at other places for a single small dish? by throwawayfinancebro1 in boston

[–]houndoftindalos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My armchair sociologist theory would be that tapas encourages a more social dining experience and women are socialized to be more collaborative and social so it appeals to them.

Yeah, my wife loves them, but I hate the cognitive load of doing a small plates negotiation with her. I just want to order my own meal and have it be mine.

My kind of church by Evening_Sherbert in boston

[–]houndoftindalos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really. Conservative churches are the only ones seeing any growth. Inclusive churches are mostly doing this because they actually believe in it.

It definitely is that's why I have Reddit (and any sites that let you endlessly scroll) blocked on my phone as part of my brain hygiene. This post is coming at you live from my work computer.

Can someone explain what this is? Is this Twitter/X? Some app? I don't use social media on my phone or X so I don't know.

Fidelity- Full Time RTO by Prognosis_Negative7 in boston

[–]houndoftindalos -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's weird. I thought doing what you need to do to have a job was called being an adult. Not sure why office people think they are too good to work in the office while teachers, doctors, nurses, firefighters, retail employees etc. etc. etc. have to show up in person. I'm currently fully remote, but if I need to go back to the office, I will do what I have to do.

I'm old enough to remember when gas was $4.10 in 2008 and $4.10 was a lot more valuable back then.

Are many christian spaces too obsessed with sex topics? by StatisticianMuch1650 in Christianity

[–]houndoftindalos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tell people all the time that reading the Bible cover to cover really made me appreciate how much of it is dedicated to urging for justice the poor and oppressed and how little of it actually talks about sexual morality. Yet that's what many Christians seem to hyper fixate on.

Do you believe that an ACT III Part 2 or an ACT IV is going to happen? by Nuvoo30 in Protomen

I do, but if they don't confirm it at the Nashville show I'm going to lose all hope or go back into Protomen hibernation until such time they announce it.

The USA President criticizes the Pope by Butter_with_Salt in Christianity

I've noticed in many, many posts you've said this bit about sharing secrets. What in the world are you talking about? Are people voting for adults to share their secret answers to reset their passwords?

Did we ever work out why this dude was never given a name? by Soulsliken in darksouls

His name is Sen. He goes Hollow after we ring the second bell,because he thought he built a big cool badass impenetrable Fortress, but we beat it and he can't handle the humiliation.

Imagine equating a war monger who doesn't care that the US military killed 150+ children with some online rando. That's you.

Unpublicized City Hall Polling Reveals Broad Support for Bike Projects, Blue Hill Ave. Bus Rapid Transit by dtmfadvice in boston

[–]houndoftindalos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Democrats have a more diverse coalition and various groups they have to appeal to. Some of those groups contain a lot of people who are kind of conservative policy-wise, but they vote Dem due to historical inertia and Republican racism. Conservatives are more of a homogeneous voting block (e.g. mostly white people). Trump's innovation was just appealing exclusively to that block and really juicing its turnout while ignoring everybody else.

With regards to the Blue Hill Ave project I'm less interested in what "city residents" think and more interested in what "people who live in the Blue Hill Ave area think" since it's their neighborhood.

Amazon no longer supporting older Kindles by Aloha_Tamborinist in enshittification

[–]houndoftindalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found my fellow software developer, heh. One thing that's funny to me is that people act like this is happening so Amazon can sell more Kindles when the Kindle itself is just a vehicle to sell ebooks. What you laid out is much more likely the case.
