I am walking thru a Walmart right now.

This place looks like the 3rd world with purple haired LGBTQ mixed in.

The absolute fact that now I am a plain language software engineer and codex is my terminal is still so completely underrated

Absolutely earth shattering

Money is going to flow from the heavens

Shoutout to the folks who do that little awkward jog when a car stops to let them cross. You’re not actually going any faster, but the effort is adorable. I see you. I respect you.

[Joshua Lisec, The Ghostwriter @JoshuaLisec]

I get around these Gen Z guys and I sound like a lib in comparison.

Imagine how NPR-Americans feel.

Imagine every worst fear you fantasized about Donald Trump… is 200% true about 35 million men who have nothing to lose and that’s solely because of you and they know it.

The prompt was simple.

“Look at every ‘Ryan Gosling as White Panther’ meme on the Internet. Now make a full-length trailer for that movie.”

Hollywood is cooked.

I shoved a piece of crayon up my nose as a kid and had to go to the hospital to get it removed. A nurse tried giving me a coloring book and crayons for being a good boy and my dad said "don't give that retard anymore crayons"

[Department Of Deportations @DoDeportations]

Illegal immigrants committed 64% of all homicides, and blacks committed roughly 40-50%.

That means the actual White homicide rate is effectively zero. That’s why they’re refusing to fix the data.

[The married man @marriedmn]

90% of modern women don’t want a husband.

They want a calm, high-earning, emotionally stable ATM who tolerates their mood swings, finances their lifestyle, and never complains when they weaponize sex or disrespect him.

They want traditional provision with zero traditional submission.

A lot of men are out here killing themselves at work, destroying their health, and coming home to a woman who treats them like an annoying roommate with benefits.

Your sweat has value. Never finance a woman who despises your leadership.

If anyone can make an app to boycott Indian businesses I think you would become a millionaire.

I would love to see an IT professional that had to train his Indian replacement do this.

[IT Unprofessional @it_unprofession]

We hired a new VP of Engineering who is obsessed with agile methodology.

He called a meeting on his first day and said we need to transition to 2-week development sprints.

He wanted daily stand-ups, retrospective boards, and continuous deployment pipelines.

He wanted us to actually write new code.

I realized immediately that he was an existential threat to my lifestyle.

I let him finish his impassioned speech about workflow velocity.

Then I stood up, walked to the whiteboard, and drew a single horizontal line.

I told him agile sprints are a localized solution for a localized mindset.

I said our infrastructure operates on a Zenith Release Cycle.

He asked what a Zenith Release Cycle was.

I told him it's a holistic, macro-stabilization framework where we observe the system in a state of prolonged stasis.

By not touching the code for 18 months, we allow the legacy dependencies to organically settle.

I told him that deploying bi-weekly updates creates micro-abrasions in our database architecture.

I used the phrase chronological data scarring.

The CEO was in the room and audibly gasped.

He told the new VP that we can't risk chronological data scarring just to satisfy a trendy tech buzzword.

The VP looked at me like I'd just invented a new color.

He was completely paralyzed by the sheer density of my fabricated jargon.

He quietly agreed to adopt the Zenith Release Cycle.

We're officially scheduled to deploy our next update in the third quarter of 2027.

I spent the rest of the afternoon buying things I don't need on Amazon.

Agile is a disease invented by people who want to be punished for their salary.

I refuse to participate in my own suffering.

The problem with truth is, once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

[Asmongold Updates @Asmon_Updates]

Asmongold explains why his "bottom 2%" take makes people so angry

"People are mad because it destroys two narratives they live their lives around. The first is that poor people are poor because of structural reasons with no fault of their own. The second is it inverts the guilt they try to pin on the top one percent."

"If you took the top 2% of people and they just vanished, every single functional societal system would totally collapse. Businesses would fall apart, machines would stop running. They're the only ones smart enough to understand the systems. That's the truth, you might not like it, but it's the truth."

"Now contrast that. If you lost the bottom 2%, the world would astronomically improve. Everybody's lives would instantly get better. You'd get rid of 95% of violent criminals, probably the majority of criminals in general. There is not a single aspect of your life that would get worse in any way."

[CooperBaggs 💰🍞 @edgaralandough]

I will never stop shouting this from the rooftops: the most underrated skill you’ll ever develop is the ability to genuinely enjoy your own life. Not someday, when you’ve healed enough, earned enough, or finally figured everything out. NOW. Because your life isn’t waiting for you somewhere in the future—it’s being built in the way you experience this ordinary Sunday, this cup of coffee, this conversation, this sunset, this breath.

Maybe groceries cost so much because we give 50 million people them for free

[Roman Helmet Guy @romanhelmetguy]

“Lol people have always thought the world was ending.”

Entire civilizations have been wiped from memory. There was a 1k year period where only 1 in 17 men reproduced. There was a 100k year period where the human population dropped 99%.

The world has ended many times.

@RareGroyp The major purpose of every feminist's version of feminism is to prevent any other woman from being considered more attractive than her.

Alcohol is a million times more dangerous to your health than seed oils, sugar, or high fructose corn syrup

If you're hating on any of those 3 things and you drink alcohol regularly, you're focusing on the WRONG things
