Yeah, you’re not required to sit there and be talked at like a child. That kind of behavior makes me shutdown 100%. When I was a kid and adults resorted to yelling, I just assumed they were inept at communicating and tuned them out. It carried over into adulthood too. If a manager acted that way, I walked out and quit (I’ve done it twice in my life now). It’s similar to police in America expecting respect simply because they have a badge. Respect is earned.

The red pillers thinking they have autonomy over another human is a whole other level of insanity.

All of this entitlement and inability to communicate with respect is unique to 2 countries: America and Israel. Both are places that have drilled exceptionalism into their core values. I’ve yet to see other countries behave this way. A good litmus test for this is to use Rednote for a few months. Join chat groups, post about yourself and your country, engage with people. Your experience there will be 10x different than on Instagram. People on Facebook and Instagram will quickly resort to talking shit and being abrasive. On Rednote, the experience is completely different.

I don’t consider myself a fan. Just someone that catches episodes here and there, especially now because they’re almost all pointing out how unhinged conservatives have become.

The entitled American (and I’m an American myself). My country has fostered mentalities and behaviors that I can’t stand. We act like the planet owes us everything. Obviously not everyone is like this, but America has a unique brand of entitlement that I’ve witnessed pour out of both right-wingers and even the most leftist people. I witnessed a local well-known white pro-Palestine activist refuse to participate in a march for the black community because police were present. They didn’t stop to think “this is lead by and represents them—I should stay to support their actions.”

No one is safe from being an entitled asshole and it’s healthy to have a reality check sometimes. Not everything is about America.

You have formulated opinions about the show that are clearly based on someone else’s opinions, and then admit exactly that but aren’t willing to discuss it. You would’ve been better off driving right by this post.

CEOs are burning money on AI, so it still works.

I have an old iPad Mini that is long outside the support deadline for Apple. It’s using AltStore instead now, but when I tried to install a patched version of Spotify, the app and even the web app, completely blocked both the OS version and the WebKit version. I can’t even use the web version of Apple Music on it. The amount of artificial locks these companies use is annoying as fuck.

There’s such a massive wealth of other podcasts out there, you can skip this bullshit.

I use flex for most stuff 💪🏼

It definitely is lol. You’d use this for a landing page content container or something.

Omg are we bringing back forum signatures?! Throws reins off in joy

I’m one of those old devs that has been writing CSS for like 18 years. It’s funny. Even with access to AI, folks still ask me CSS questions because I actually know the ins and outs of it.

The worst is when rich people interview other rich people about their rich person thing (e.g. Ivanka Trump purchasing an island), so that poor people can watch it on television. That level of narcissism and arrogance is just fucking astonishing to me. You can be rich and also just shut the absolute fuck up about it.

Likewise, friend! My wife is my best friend and we spend 99% of our time together. We’re very grateful and have been together since 2015, married since December 2018 ❤️

Stories like this are way better. That’s more memorable than simply buying a thing and handing it over. My wife and I spent very little on everything. I think my suit was the most expensive thing at like $500, and we got married in an arboretum park we love (we just showed up and did the thing with a small handful of folks). My ring was a plain, dirt cheap silver band. I love the scratches on it because they represent the journey.

Did she eventually find it? That just adds to the lore!

This is amazing. This is way more valuable than an expensive ass ring.

My wife and I sat with a jeweler and built her ring for like $1200. She loves it and we had fun making it together. The jeweler said she loved making things for couples like us and never tried to push anything. It was a much more fun experience than simply handing her something she might not like.

I made Claude work around this by having it write a Python script to use instead that split the letters and provided a count. A script I could’ve written myself, for a task that’s completely pointless.

The map tells us where to throw the bricks and install signal disruption tools.

Best behavior for the cameras. While we find ways to hack the system, scramble facial recognition, create alternative spaces they can’t touch, etc. We’re not going to broadcast how we circumvent their constant onslaught of creeper bullshit.
