I love when the follow-up joke is better than the original.

What contrast? The topic is bloated, brainless orange things.

The IDEA is great. The man who sold it to them is a known con-artist and liar and they had no shortage of warning before they got in bed with him.

Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.

If your story starts with “I believed in Musk’s vision” or “I voted for Trump” or some other asinine bullshit that everyone with a brain stem was telling you was stupid 10 years ago, you can take your sympathy fishing with you all the way to bankruptcy court.

I hope your kids watch and internalize what a loser their parent is.

I don’t see any difference, personally.

That’s what I said.

Different medical culture, I guess. People here go over much more easily.

Good thing too. A friend of mine jammed her finger playing volleyball once and I thought she was nuts to go to the hospital, but it turned out she needed a surgical adjustment and if she hadn’t gone it would’ve wound up healing in a way that would’ve permanently affected her dexterity.

The trauma follows you.

I left the US years ago and people still look at me like I’m insane when I catch a cold and I don’t go to the doctor.

I drove 40 minutes to the hospital once after an injury, and people thought I was insane for not calling an ambulance.

They should be public anyway because the people of both countries should get a say before their governments make a decision of that magnitude.

When I was in school I had a crush on a girl

…and we see where it all went wrong.

You had to be there.

It was a beautiful moment in time.

This is the best shitpost I’ve ever seen.

“The hole is in the right wall.”

Old and busted:

Running your badly written bullshit on a bundled Chromium instance.

New hotness:

Running your badly written bullshit on a bundled office suite.

Future:

Running your badly written bullshit on an office suite running through Wasm on a Chromium instance inside of a virtual machine.

Whatever it takes to not have to make developers have to learn to write code again.

My empathy for this view dies on shit that impacts you every single day of your life. At that point it’s not a bit of information you just haven’t needed yet - it’s willful ignorance that I’m not giving you a pass on.

How long do I need to watch people crap themselves before I’m allowed to demand they learn to use a toilet?

Bold to assume there’ll still be jobs and not just fighting over gig work in the unemployment prisons.

“Flock Ewe”

What about both? What if you ran a sheep brothel?

Asking for a friend.

Only if someone bothers to enforce it.

I don’t consider a test writer being an insufferable pedantic asshole to be any kind of reflection of my own abilities.

“Oh, you didn’t consciously turn off 3.5 billion years of evolved pattern recognition that functions correctly 99.9% of the time for the purpose of getting my disingenuous gotcha question right, on a rigidly timed test designed to put you under intense time pressure? lol”

I’ll tell you where you can stick your test.

Yes. And many users have many times done exactly that.

But I’ve BEEN there for the bitter, insulting interviews where Shuttleworth STILL moans and complains that Unity was the future and users were too thick to accept his vision. After they realized too many people were switching back to Gnome, they decided to put a stop to that by making Unity the only default installed DE and providing no further support. This is a company run by a man who by all accounts is a petty dictator who still doesn’t get it.

I already left Ubuntu. That doesn’t mean I don’t get to call them out for being heavy handed and pigheaded. Just because something is open source and free does not make it immune to criticism. Just like I am free to go to another distro, Ubuntu’s developers are free to ignore my comments.
