@bstract_thot It’s unamerican to express this politely

@holy_photon Low trust society needs to spend so much more time, energy and money to get basic stuff done. This is unnecessary innovation.

Apple tried to donate 100 MacBooks to my daughter's school, to promote "coding education"

As a head of parent council I called for an emergency meeting

"These don't meet the Digital Education Safety Directive of 2024" I said

"Aluminum casing isn't sustainably sourced"

"The keyboard doesn't have proper ergonomic certification"

And the worst one

"Keystrokes collect biometric data under GDPR"

This was an attempt for biometrical harvesting my child's data

We asked Apple to take their criminal devices away

Fortunately, the Europe's biggest tech company Siemens stepped up and provided custom-made tablets instead

They weigh 3kg each

Run on proprietary SiemensOS that only works from 9am-3pm

Password changed daily for security

Only browser is "SafeSurf" mode which has pre-approved access to 24 educational websites

Just wonderful piece of hardware

This is precisely how we protect our children from Silicon Valley growth virus

@hr_unhinged You didn't just protect a process; you defended the very fabric of corporate order against the anarchic forces of common sense.

They should promote you to Vice President of Preventing Things From Getting Done. 🤣🤣🙏

I noticed one employee wearing noise-canceling headphones.

Not earbuds.

The big, cushioned over-ear kind that create a tiny personal universe.

I asked if everything was alright.

He said yes, he’s just trying to focus.

I told him we value focus, but isolation can misread as resistance to collaboration.

He said he’s literally sitting at his desk doing his job.

I told him we track human presence, not just output.

He asked how presence is measured.

I said imperfectly, which is why it's so important.

Then I logged “avoiding spontaneous culture building opportunities” in his engagement profile.

This is something that I have been thinking about a lot recently. What matters at the end and how much money do we really need. You can’t take the money with you when you die. Do you spend more or do you save more? https://t.co/xmCDGksWHW

Mamdani has achieved “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?” status.

Every (legitimate, disqualifying in a sane political environment) criticism leveled against him makes his base like him more.

His is an eight grade class president-ass campaign: free vending machines, no homework, Fridays off. None of it is actually feasible. None of it will work. No one cares.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

A 12-year old kid knocked on my door

Offered to mow my lawn for just $15

I love encouraging young entrepreneurs

But I wanted to make sure that he actually showed some promise

"How are you incorporating AI into your business model?" I asked.

He stared at me blankly.

"Um...."

I'd heard enough.

I slammed the door in his face.

Then launched my own AI lawn mowing service at $150 per job and immediately took all his market share.

I hope that young entrepreneur learned a valuable lesson about being prepared.

It’s 1991. The Cold War is over. Finally, peace at last. A bright future lays ahead. The Russians? They’re our friends now.

@WallStreetApes Litigation and Fraud - This is why commercial insurance is so high.

You get hit by a POS car by a guy who is broke you get shit - But if you get hit by anyone with "commerical" insruance - people look at it as a PAYDAY

My ex quit community college after 1 day because his philosophy professor asked "how do we know that the things we think we know are true?" & some lady was like "it's written down in black and white! In the Bible!"

And yeah, importing a couple rocket scientists like this to help with NASA is not the same as importing a gajillion H1B 7/11 managers sorry

@mattresko @kenklippenstein Reuters published this investigation https://t.co/Um4TiV5RFb
In accordance with the family's wishes, Cody's remains were cremated at Reuters expense and returned to the family.

He was warning against the illusion of the simple answer or the absolute resolution—a “longing for a world without ambiguity,” as he put it—that has since overwhelmed our society. https://t.co/vhbtdvPPfY
