This is not a burden a child should bear. A healthy kid should not be made to wear a mask or stay away from their healthy peers. How damaging to teach them that if they get too close to one another, they may be responsible for some adult getting sick and dying.

@MisfitPatriot It's honest, so that rules out one of them

@jeremykauffman @ComicDaveSmith We know what happens when a demographic votes for one party regardless of what they do in office. That ain’t it.

Trump voters voted against the neo-con wing of the party in 2016 and liked the result. To bring them back in his lame duck term was fatal.

Republicans when it’s convenient: If you don't vote Republican, you’ll get Democrats elected (libertarians are practically Republicans anyway, right?)

Also Republicans when it’s convenient: We spent $30 million to unseat the only Republican who reliably opposes spending, inflation, surveillance, and war, because libertarianism and non-interventionism don’t belong in the Republican Party.

Well, guess what? You got what you asked for and I’m not voting Republican this year, which might get Democrats elected in 2026. Learn your lesson now before 2028, because I’m not voting for your guy then either if he supported this war. Check… mate.

Once you watch Claude or some other LLM do a task that used to take you 3 hours in the span of just 3 minutes, all work starts to lose its purpose

Have been hearing the same sentiment from many of my friends in middle management across tech, finance and other office jobs

All the years of experience you culminated at your field suddenly seems useless

You used to feel valued for your expertise in a niche domain, but that knowledge has now become commoditized

You begin to wonder how many more months until upper management and executives realize that they don’t need to pay your salary anymore

Maybe they can replace you fully. Maybe they can hire someone for 50% of the cost to do the same task with an AI

It is the impending sense of doom and despair. The loss of purpose from your life’s work disappearing losing value in front of your eyes

Truly an incredible time to be alive

I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

No, Gavin. It was insane then. We all told you it was insane then. You knew it was insane then. You’re just an insane person.

@kevinnbass You kidding me? What is this account? these fake white coaters are just not real people.

Aaron Rodgers... "Covid was a multi-trillion dollar worldwide Psyop meant to see how much they can control us. That’s why people dislike me… because I don’t give a shit. I’m going to tell the truth."

"Governments, media, tech platforms, and pharmaceutical companies all moved in lockstep. Billions were spent. Dissent was punished. Questions were treated as moral failures. The goal wasn’t public health. It was to measure how quickly people would surrender their judgment, their jobs, their kids' education, and their right to say "no."

"85% of people complied. They took the shots, accepted the mandates, and then acted shocked when the same institutions that sold them certainty started walking it back. A lot of them still can’t admit it was a test of compliance. They’d rather keep calling people like me dangerous than look at the data, the lab-leak evidence, the shifting narratives, or the damage done to kids and small businesses."

"That’s why some people still hate me. Not because of football. Because I wouldn’t play along. I said I was immunized when I meant I had my own protocol. I refused the product. I called Fauci what he is. I pointed out that a captured media and a captured public-health apparatus don’t get to lecture anyone about "the science." And I’m not going to start lying now just because it’s easier."

"I don’t give a shit about the cost. I’m going to tell the truth. The experiment happened. Most people failed it. A smaller group noticed in real time and refused to pretend otherwise. That’s the only scoreboard that still matters."

@VictorFromDE Flight 93 was always sus, even when I was a dumb believer back then, it was the question that stayed in the back of my mind even as I believed it all (for a while)

[Pinto Problem @pintoproblem]

@OffGuardian0 Agree. 100% of the AI fear porn leads only to one thing - the people begging for regulation. That's the goal.

[Pinto Problem @pintoproblem]

Yep

[zerohedge @zerohedge]

Maintenance costs for AI-generated code have jumped 300% in 18 months, code duplication is up 48% and refactoring has dropped 60%. The result could be a massive technical debt problem hiding inside companies that initially saw AI coding as a productivity win: Checkmarx

@OwenBenjamin What about the how to fly for dummies and the koran in the rental car? LOLOOLOLOL

[Pinto Problem @pintoproblem]

@OffGuardian0 It was different because they told them they were probably going to die or infect someone else and they would die and there is nothing for the hospital to do for you except treat you like a leper.

It was psychological warfare on stupid people, which is most people

A phenomenal response to @AlanDersh after he called @ComicDaveSmith an anti-semite.

@mcfunny @DrKellyVictory @SecKennedy @RobertKennedyJr @SenRonJohnson @RandPaul Just shocked the Atlantic would be doing pharma's dirty work again for political gain. This is a political hit job. The baby didn't die of measles. If it hadn't died of the traumatic spleen laceration, measles would be manageable as it has been for 100 years in the first world.

[Pinto Problem @pintoproblem]

@mcfunny @DrKellyVictory @SecKennedy @RobertKennedyJr @SenRonJohnson @RandPaul oh, we're doing asymptomatic PCR measles like we did with COVID. Fun.

[Pinto Problem @pintoproblem]

@justin_hart @thereal_truther "Should have been"? You're on this pharma shill's side and don't believe every medical procedure is a choice, Justin? Oof.

@harryfisherEMTP This is the calculus. It was such a simple decision.
