If the “geniuses” who run these tech firms spent less money lobbying politicians and instead offered to pay for the college tuition of every student who successfully graduated from the local high school, they would probably get a very different reaction from the public.
Yeah , they could do a lot with their wealth. Unfortunately they are stupid and selfish. They're playing a dangerous game and eventually they'll roll for guillotines.
Not scared enough
What a piece of shit.
In both 2024 and 2025, the department suggested Batman use the building’s rear entrance to avoid seeing the flag and that he seek counseling for any distress he might experience.
Truly.
I think the floor isn't "intern". I think the floor is "middle schooler".
Meanwhile, every job I'm looking at is saying "must be enthusiastic about AI" 😭
This is a good point. He's not a bad guy. He's just not very technical, and sometimes that's frustrating.
The biggest ones I've seen are 1.2GB.
Why this company uses gigabyte CSVs is a separate problem.
(Also sometimes they want to compare a CSV to what's in a database, which the script can also do but I didn't mention in the post)
One time at work I was tasked with writing a python script to compare two data sources. Like, you give it two CSVs and a primary key, and it tells you what data is in one but not the other, or mismatched, and so on. This worked fine and was in git, so anyone can use it.
My boss then asks if I can "put it on a website so anyone can use it".
This team has never done web development. Nothing for that is set up. Like, I could spin up a quick Django app or similar, but there's a lot of stuff to do and potentially fuck up.
I said "that sounds like a lot of research and ongoing maintenance costs. I think it'd be better to just check out and run the script"
Luckily for me he said "oh, okay"
A DM running a traditional game of D&D?
Exact same thought.
Though they're probably mad they can't use it for their particular brand of evil.
Violence isn't the answer. It's the question. Right now the answer seems to be "poor people and minorities". We should change that answer.
But if you build transit then some people will be uncomfortable and it won't be an immediate drop-in replacement! The biggest eyeroll.
It's all projection. They can't square their self image with the reality so they project it onto other people to sooth the cognitive dissonance. They're garbage people. Like in a deep, fundamental, way. They are bad at existing in a complicated world.
