Tightbeam line-of-sight IR laser should be the only way to control stuff like this. And I realize that means I can’t control my hands if they are in another room, which is a delta of 0 from the current human condition.

Yep thanks, picked up on that, so was my reply. Whoosh, I guess.

With my hands.

It is an most joyful occasion for gaiety…

Or, the internet, the same medium upon which the noisome roots of social media depend, has some induced self-selection bias for increasing connectivity. It’s basically behaving like a weird superorganism and advocating for conditions to make it grow. At, I might add, the expense of the host species.

I feel the same way about words like leucocholy, but I’m forplaint with the ugsome trend of rising of anti-intellectualism in our world today and no longer see the appeal of logomachies.

I don’t want to sound like a dick

Awww why not? Be true to your deepest, most innerest self, man. It sucks when people just don’t embrace what they are. You got this.

Also: whoopsie too late.

I want to make this perfectly clear. “You wanna make a bet?” died in fucking elementary school for me. Like it should for every mature, sane human. Gambling is for, and done by, the most immature, underdeveloped losers in our society. I’ve never once met someone who went to a casino and told me about that I didn’t instantly lose a measureable amount of respect for. I would have absolutely no qualms about levelling every casino on the planet and forcing the property owners to donate the land to public park space.

You are not “winners with no winnings”. You are losers.

The fact that it is growing in popularity and we now have douche canoes on polymarket every second commercial just tells me we’re devolving.

I, too, sense a rising anti-intellectualism in today’s world in general. Just the other day some guy came by my place asking to “read the gas meter”. Whatever happened to the classics?!

This. I’m fine with auto complete, snippets and llm suggestions. But I still need to read and review and, critically, comphrend the code. I always review it’s work, and most often make changes that I know are better practices.

For some reason your comment reminded me of that ol’ Tim Robinson ditty.

The skeletons will pull your hair. Up, but not out.

Also wouldn’t his hair be like… permanently greasy? The only guy who’s hair might be worse (other than trump but that’s not hair as much as it is a region of spacetime that has a few more ppm of alpha helix protein than the hard vacuum) is Nutlick now that he has that gangsta-ass mullet.

Infinary.

Is it worth chiming in that I’ve personally never seen any image or facsimile of that thing that is in any way, shape, or form flattering to the subject matter? If I was making a catalogue of “shammies one would wash one’s car with” its complexion might make an appearance in the appendix but otherwise nah. No redeeming value from a photographic stance, or, frankly, from any other point of view really.

He’s not much good to humanity alive.

Morcheeba dropped a banger about this phenomenon some years ago

We’ve been profitably stealing memes since the RNA era…

“Don’t separate me from my family.”

Fuck.

You.

Nazi.

Scum.

I hope you enjoy the effects of your clearly well-thought-out strategy.

Fascism. They looove the taste of boot leather.

To be fair, Trump would be nearly as effective as he is if he weren’t surrounded by a swarm of people who also have no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Let’s also not let the body politic who put him there off the hook either; redeeming qualities pretty rarefied among them too.

How about the redeeming qualities of his opponents? Are they both legion in number and high in quality? No?

In fact, a disturbingly large number of your country is irredeemable, or very nearly so. A basket of deplorables, if you will.

Hydrophobic demons.

Invading very wet plane of existence.

If they were aliens however, they only had tech to suspend their spacecraft in the air, judging from how unsuspended my disbelief was.
