Stop saying virtue signaling (“forced” at that) for a take you just disagree with, there are valid arguments for and against.

Can you explain for the lazy and ignorant?

This is true. I only support fellow dumbasses who come by it honestly

HAha I love this emoji. I’ve been using it like this memeable Willem Dafoe image

Some of the requests that come into my office now it’s like, I know the person barely even knows what they’re asking for, but they put it in the shape of a valid request so now I’ve got to expend energy to educate them on how what they’re asking for doesn’t make sense.

If they’d just come to me with honest questions and a rough outline of what they wanted, I could’ve helped them, but because they insist on filtering everything through an LLM I’ve got to try to communicate through this thick, meaning-eroding medium. It’s like trying to talk to someone through a mattress. Whatever happened to having the courage of your convictions. sigh

I mean I for one support hiring dumbasses. We’re all dumbasses in some area, we’ve just got to help eachother out, so I help you in an area you’re a dumbass about and then you help me bully HR or something.

Let’s just not pretend like we aren’t dumbasses. Only the boss wins then.

Wait, regular young people didn’t used to ask for ID on dates? I guess I was just paranoid.

Wow you’re really showing your lack of ei here, but if you must know I’m very emotional. I jot my emotions in a diary using a special compass of my own devising. I have names for emotional chords you don’t even know you’re having.

Also just in case you’re not playing, my comment was in jest :)

Yup! You get it

As a matter of opinion, is it a dogshit interpretation? Yes. Did reading it make me feel so sad and lonely that as a piece of art this crie de coeur that surely must ring in all our hearts at similar frequencies was reduced to a leaden summary by what sounds like a failing MBA student desperately trying to bump up their GPA with an elective they didn’t bother thinking about? Yes, too.

Yeah then there’s that. In my head this is not a solution to any of our current problems, but like a hypothetical to when we’ve got our shit figured out (buried all the Bs).

Quiet now, that commie is cooking

That’s an understatement

That’s gas, baby

I used to think that, but then I went a month and I think I just killed off that part of my gut biome, because the intense cravings just… stopped

It’s like the bear versus man thing… ⏳

You have to be emotionally intelligent to several people to show a pattern of emotional intelligence, otherwise you’re just gaming.

I use e-transfer if that works —angy.bee@duck.com pls

Yeah that sounds familiar to me as a software dev. My field has been almost totally captured and financialized for years now, so that the stuff the enunciates the roaring of the demon engine capital is the only sound you hear at the end of our sprints, or waterfalls before that.

Most of us working in the corporate world only have very limited spaces to express ourselves, let alone express anything subversive.

Font-face of my God you nailed it. That’s it.

But yeah, like you said at least it makes no effort slop recognisable. I can imagine future gen ai image providers randomising the style to throw people off the scent. Essentially to lie more effectively, eroding the signs of quality and care formed over millennia, so that eventually you can’t actually tell if any of the art you see is thoughtful or thoughtless.
