I saw someone on Bluesky admonishing people for using "moron" because it was once a real medical term applied to people who were judged to be too stupid to reproduce and were hence sterilized, thus its a problematic term. You can't hand me a word with such connotations and then say "but you can't use it."

Fuck me, I thought it was just another word for stupid and there is so much idiocy in the world today that I need every word I can get, but it's so stupid you aren't allowed to reproduce? Fuck yes!

Now I can call someone a moron, and educate them about exactly how fucking idiotic they are, and let them know they are a prescriptive Darwin Award winner.

Also, cocksucker is a perfectly cromulent term. Hit people with the insults that hurt them. They are supposed to be offensive. I want to offend. Not that I don't have some lines I won't cross, but cocksucker definitely isn't one. Folks can get in line behind my wife to be insulted by that language, and they'll be waiting a while.

Ukrainian interests are US interests in this case.

Because what they’re doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement activities, operations

That's what happens when law enforcement are corrupt fuckers. People avoid them and encourage others to do so.

Good. Bad for everyone else, but I love it for them. Fuck everything about them.

Narrator: It won't.

I don't agree both sides do it to nearly the same degree, but yeah on the occasion I catch the left doing it, it frustrates me. So much stuff to legitimately be upset about and people are posting Teslas dropping folks off in a no parking zone.

I'll even acknowledge that an unmanned electric car standing to drop someone off or pick them up is indistinguishable from parking but still it's pointless splitting of hairs compared to gestures at everything.

I think we are in an era where people don't care what's real and what's a lie as long as the lie is entertaining enough and validates their own thoughts.

This was with Roberts-Sinto 35 years ago. I'm sure a lot has changed.

Sounds like they are afraid black soldiers won't comply with their future plans.

I used to think I was going to be an astronaut, but then I needed glasses and so that was out. Then I wanted to make robots but I went to a robotics company for a high school project and they explained engineers don't build anything and the technicians don't design anything. That's no fun.

So now I'm in business software. I do enjoy coding a lot and it could be a dream job but honestly, I work with and for a lot... bad companies, bad designers, and bad managers. And again if I want to do their jobs, I don't get to do the technical stuff I want to do. I'm pursuing other team lead positions but I've done that before and it's just a bit better.

I just want to build good software and no one else really gives a shit to improve their trade. I shouldn't be telling UX specialists their design sucks for users. I shouldn't be telling service engineers how to design APIs. I shouldn't be telling corporate architects their default package layout is bad and non-standard making it difficult for engineers to navigate until they get familiar.

I wouldn't mind training all this stuff, but that would cut my pay in half, and I need all that money for quality of life outside of work.

Pretty sure I'm just going to be cranky until I retire even though I enjoy what I do.

NYC is the clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration

NYC elected a mayoral candidate. Like... what warning? Nothing bad has happened.
