I loved that show.

“Your white guy does all that stuff for you?”

“Yeah. He’s great.”

“Can we trade white guys?”

Side splitting gags in the middle of a pretty solid message about how technology can systemicly abuse people.

“Apparently if we continued with our hiring plan, we would end up employing the sum total of humanity, and I guess doing that is illegal in some of the countries Viridian operates in, so they had to give in and actually fix the problem.”

How is this different from what anybody who hires or employs people do?

Fun question.

1. Most employees will someday no longer be day-one idiot employees. (conttasted with AI)
2. Many managers take a class or something to know how to get results from their employees. (in contrast with many people given unlimited token allowances)
3. Most employees are capable of a relationship and even loyalty, if any is merited. (in contrast with corporate AI API vendors who only want to extract wealth)

Nice!

“One can jerk it while doing everything right and still not succeed. That is not failure, that is life!”

And also writing the some of the best Marvel Comics titles, now!

That’s brilliant…and sick.

I honestly do not think it’s even possible to spoil that film lol.

There are charts that try, at least.

That happened to my great-great-grandson. I’m not sure if he ever found his way back.

Yes. Cola, Orange Cola, Rootbeer Cola, Mister Cherry, or Zest!*

I would have gotten here sooner, but I had to take time to write a scathing review for that asshole Ea-nāṣir selling me bad copper.

It’s never too soon, really.

Yes. These might become my last words.

Which is bad, since I’m sure I’ll just keep repeating them every few hours, just in case.

I’m guessing they’re talking about Open Office, while you’re comparing to Only Office.

I’m starting to think open source may not win the “great job naming things” trophy, this year, either.

Yikes! You can’t just tell people about the

I’m pretty sure this is the real reason my taste for spicy food advanced so far after I became a parent.

It’s nice to have a snack that the kid won’t loot and empty.

Archie is an idiot, here.

Tagging is essentially the same as removing and not a compromise in my book.

Come check out Mastodon sometime, where we also tag movie spoilers, politics, mentions of any medical condition, and eye contact.

There’s nothing wrong with eye contact. It makes some people really uncomfortable. So we tag it so that they can filter it.

I wish I could upvote this twice! I’m actually on my way around to my second re-read of “Small Gods” during another full Discworld read-through.

Yea. Any religion that believes in a just interving diety runs into this.

If i really believe my god is perfect and all powerful, then why should I have compassion for all the unlucky people that god clearly despises?

It’s hard, because the idea of a perfect loving god is incredibly attractive.

It’s the evidence that sucks: if god is real and all powerful, then god is, at best ineffable, and at worst a terrible raging asshole who lovingly created a parasite that eats childrens eyes.

Now, if we’re willing to believe in a sort of weak impotent god, the theology gets more interesting.

why would I want this type of thing done at the community level?

I have an RSS feed for my unfiltered comics.

I read here for the community.
