Way better than the fad of throwing jugs of milk in grocery stores.

The headline is about missing a “cue” as in failing to respond correctly, but it’s misspelled “que” - which happens to be Spanish for “what”, which was the basis for my joke using Spanish question marks.

Maybe somebody spilled beer on the one and only deletion server.

I go off on tangents all the time, but they typically present themselves like distracting little wind chimes. This one is more like a clanging gong struck with a giant mallet by a sultan’s harem guard. Other half-finished projects are cryng “Wait! Nooooo!”

Same with Ivory. WE’VE BEEN LIED TO!!!

To me it’s weird to even think of repairing stuff you buy as a “right” - that’s a given. The issue is the nonexistent “right” of a seller to restrict what a customer does with a product after buying it. That’s as ridiculous as a shoe company trying to dictate where you can or can’t walk. It’s a no-brainer, and should never have to be argued in court or anywhere else.

¿Missing the what?

In other words, what if some factor we don’t know about could mean you’re right?

I admire your reasoning and would like to subscribe to your newsletter!

Maybe you’re an expert psychiatrist or something, but in my layman’s view it was a very typical psychotic outburst, which you’re making special because you like the outcome. To each their own.

“We’ll do like the spreadsheet says.” - My manager’s director-level boss, 1994

AI autoresponders are developing into artificial personas that interact with the world on our behalf, which we won’t even pay attention to until the police show up because one of them threatened to assassinate the president or something, and we’ll say, “That wasn’t me,” and they’ll be like yuh-huh it was.

That’s why I said “equally fucked up” instead of “the same”.

To me, methodically walking up behind somebody and shooting them in the back seems anything but saintly, no matter how it’s compared with the heinous evil deeds of corporate demons. Saintly would be if he convinced the CEO to change his ways and got others to do the same. What Luigi did was just violence people happen to be excusing because it satisfies their own anger, like when your big brother beats up your bully. Not an especially saintly vibe.

Yeah I think the two portrayals seem equally fucked up, not equally popular.

When I run out of the solar system I’m going to move on to Star Wars.

I’ve named my last few computers after planets, with disks named after moons.

When I worked at Microsoft they had all kinds of clusters - OurGang with Spanky, Darla, Alfalfa… Addams with Gomez etc, Disney with Mickey, etc.

Strangely reminds me of the Always Sunny episode where they convinced people that a water stain on their kitchen wall was the Virgin Mary, and Charlie started blessing people. On a serious note tho, portraying Luigi Mangione and Donald Trump as saviors seems equally fucked up to me.

It’s simple, when Trump sees a bus he throws something under it.
