Only one specific hipster place I’m thinking of in Downtown but yeah. Lol

The downtown experience: $45 burger with a side of truffle fries. It’s mediocre at best.

Always have been, as I’ve seen during my UCLA days of people buying exam answers from previous weekends and paying for papers, etc… I’m glad I never bothered, mostly because of dignity but what because I was poor (although those correlate). Rich people have plenty of ways to game the system, though.

I find it funny Microsoft gave me a survey on my work PC asking about how I’m enjoying its products (I laughed in Linux, “how do you like windows customizablity” let me go off about KDE lol)

But back to the subject. Literally everything they work on seems to turn to shit — I wonder what kind of survey feedback are they usually getting? “Oh, Skypes cool but I really like Teams”

I think what’s more interesting is Mario today doesn’t even look much different than Mario 20 years ago. The Switch just never bothered, plus graphics in general are flattening out.

I still find it funny it thinks my 3 year old is interested in solar panels.

The more concerning one was a divorce lawyer for fathers. That shit wasn’t even on my account or my computer, it just assumed daytime watching of kids stuff means a guys going through a divorce, lol.

Yes, I was about to say the same thing until I saw your comment. I had a little bit of success learning a few tricks with o3 but trying to use o4 is a tremendous headache for coding.

There might be some utility in dialing it all back so it’s more straight to what I need based more on package documentation than random redditor suggestion amalgamation.

Kind of a false equivalence, since you’re not educating yourself on memes exclusively (and if you are, god help you lol). Even in your own reference, you can absolutely make dirty jokes after sex ed, especially if it helps you remember the topics. Good jokes will both reinforce the right narrative, make it more approachable, and help people remember what matters on a topic. Still has to be a good joke though, and humor is subjective so hard to gauge.

I mostly draw the line when it targets a vulnerable person or persons (like, let’s not joke about rape), or makes someone in the room uncomfortable out of respect for that person (like a dirty joke in front of grandma). I suppose one could say any joke about the assholes in charge fall under that first category, but they harm vulnerable people, but they themselves are perfect targets.

That seems like the ideal approach. I sometimes WANT a survey of what Lemmy is talking about and sometimes I don’t. I’ve got massive tolerance for bullshit given my difficult upbringing but even I’m hitting limits and needing a break. It’s madness.

Counterpoint, comedy is often a coping mechanism for people dealing with difficult things, be it politics or something else. I’ll agree that it’s not how everyone wants to deal with it, though, and I also agree that not everyone does it in a way that’s constructive (but I think that’s in execution, not everyone is funny and a bad joke without proper comedy is certainly just elevating a bad message)

But I think if I didn’t have political comedy, I’m not sure how I could deal with how absolute shit things have been for decades. For me that’s not memes though, it’s stuff like Last Week Tonight or something that actually is done with professional writers and researchers.

KG, the family are sweet and I swear the husband loves his cooking.

Fun fact, there is a very good mom and pop Chinese food place in a very unassuming strip mall in Agoura Hills with a “Kelsey Grammer Orange Chicken” because the guy frequented the place.

From what I’ve heard he’s a bit of an ass but that was some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had.

My primary concern, too. It’s fine for my man-hands but my wife and children still would rather use a switch (or literally have to, as I try to get my 3 year old to reach buttons). A deck lite would be lovely.

Yup, and then if you do endlessly scroll all you get to see either very wild takes, porn, and/or extremely niche start up communities, depending on your level of federation.

Friend of mines mom is a class act (although said friend is in his late 20s lol). We made a joke over voice comms that we were going to order his mom a bad dragon for her Xmas gift and he explained to her what that was and she fucking dared us cause she thought it was funny AF.

Course, giant monster dildos don’t come cheap so I gave up. Lol

Still one of my wifes favorite sketches of theirs.

Honestly, all the good news these days are from people giving him and Trump shit.

True, each os is counted each time. Not sure if my own custom build is interesting to them. Think they care about 8 hard drives? Lol

Oh for sure, a “apply to everyone” tarrif isn’t a well thought out approach just as firing all probationary hires isn’t a well thought out approach. Just hate that people are acting like he also put tarrifs on Atlantis or Wakanda or something because he thinks they exist. An apply all rule would include those places, too, but it’s stupid because of why you said, not because he’s actively choosing uninhabited islands by hand.

My dad was poking fun at this because it’s an old “haha look how dumb Trump is” but like, it’s literally a tariff on everything on Earth. It’s such a small point compared to the huge mess this whole stupid idea is.
