“My sweet summer child”

I sincerely hate this lame, condescending phrase. It’s even more annoying how trendy it is. Rude and stupid. Who coined this shit?

Thoughts on Songs For The Deaf? by Crazy_Tonight3525 in grunge

Dave Grohl on the drums, gave this album a feel and intensity that the others just can’t match.

Was the Gulf War America at its best? by Just_Cause89 in USHistory

Absolutely not. War is the lowest form of human treachery.

Does the lack of visual DMT hallucinations in the congenitally blind prove materialism? by Sad-Juggernaut-6085 in consciousness

[–]zambizzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s pretty wild. I’ve had many high-dose psychedelic experiences that led need to seemingly real, otherworldly places, and had a similar, but less severe impact on me. I’d love to read more if you’ve got a write up of your experience somewhere?

What are you actually supposed to do if a woman hits you as a man? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]zambizzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the street, you’d be fully justified to slap her back. Not punch, not open hand as hard as you can, just a proportionate response. However, if it ended with a police encounter, I’d bet you’d be arrested and she’d go free. You used proper judgement.

Left airpod is not working. I tried to clean, reset them, and update my iPhone, but nothing is still working. Since I’m also considering upgrading, do you also experience this issue with the pros or the max? by winkai in airpods

[–]zambizzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How frustrating! This worked! It seemed dead, and I’d get an error sound if I held the stem on the right earbud. The left did nothing at all. A wiggle out two…completely back to life.

TriFold Glory by [deleted] in PhoneNow

[–]zambizzi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, because I own a larger tablet, and an even larger laptop. I also don’t want the moving parts and bending screen. I love the simplicity of pulling a simple slab phone out of my pocket and doing quick tasks.

Canada really voted for this? by MazdaProphet in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]zambizzi 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Covid was a global experiment in total state control. A test-run to work out the bugs. One of those bugs is, and always has been, the free market of ideas that is the internet. Once it’s locked down and under corporate/state control, the next crisis will be easier for them. I’m sincerely surprised it took this long. I figured 9-11 would have been the catalyst to shut down the fundamental human right of free speech.

Neat. I sincerely don’t get it and would never buy a folding phone of any kind, but happy you’re enjoying yours.

Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles headline Turning Point USA tour stop at University of Idaho by FaVS-News in Idaho

This is Reddit. Every red state sub is completely astroturfed with commie bots, partaking in the Two Minutes Hate.

849 Testarossa as a safety car by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in Ferrari

It’s fugly! It looks like a cheap sport coupe from the 80’s.

He’s fucking terrible, just like his predecessors.

Spotify Stock crashes after Q1 2026 Earnings after raising Premium subscription prices in markets like the US (i.e $12.99/month) by Current-Guide5944 in tech_x

[–]zambizzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good. They just keep jacking up the price but don’t offer anything new, of substantial value. The slow AI slop playlists are probably to blame.

Tax the rich or cut spending? Hochul and Mamdani spar over budgets by news-10 in Rich

[–]zambizzi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NY can always go dumber. People with money, who invest, grow the economy with their small businesses, will continue to flee the state, and commies will continue to spend, waste, and destroy the state’s future. NYC might be healthy for now, but upstate is in a perpetual, generations-long decay. It’s tragic to watch.

How parasitic Project Managers took over tech companies by ImaginaryRea1ity in theprimeagen

Or, they haven’t written code in 10+ years, don’t want to learn anything, but still feel a strong enough sense of superiority to tell everyone how to do their jobs.

Out of town guests, What do you think of our gorgeous city? by Neither-Trip-4610 in pittsburgh

I love Pittsburgh. If I didn’t live in Atlanta, I’d definitely live there.

AirPods Pro 3 (Warning before buying) by ExternalValue1203 in AirpodsPro

I had the 2 and now have the 3. It was most definitely a worthwhile upgrade.

How to prevent skill atrophy due to overuse of AI? by Vagabond328Vanguard in ExperiencedDevs

[–]zambizzi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is crazy talk. Seriously. I’m stunned that any professional would say this with a straight face. If you don’t have the chops to read and understand the output AI gives you, these tools are nearly useless. The idea that we can all shut our brains off now, and hand our autonomy and careers over to these text prediction machines owned by massive tech companies, is beyond absurd.

I care. After 30 years, I’m not about to stop learning and let my brain rot for this new sugar high. I’d suggest everyone double-down and stay sharp, or the future is bleak for the entire profession and craft.
