They remember it too. It’s why they try to keep the bubble going by jumping to the next shiny investor lure. Just a few years it was all deep learning, blockchain and NFT. One guess is that they’ll go for humanoid robots next.

Dinosaurs had feathers. These guys are related to birds after all. For all we know, they had glorious peacock-like shiny feathers

There is a whole industries to radicalize men. They try to get them hooked with “women don’t want to date me” and get them on the social media conveyor belt towards becoming a good right wing radical that’s immune to any logic.

A hair of the dog that bit ya

I’ve had to stop eating certain foods, like chips in the evening, to avoid this

I’ve tweaked my coffee machine (okay, a simple Senseo) so it always gives exactly the right amount so something like this won’t happen every.

Any second now they’ll announce the new government branch: the Ministry of Truth.

That’s how Putin got stuck in year 4 of the 3 day special military operations. Everybody lied to him about the state of his military forces. It’s inevitable with these “strong man” leader types.

Make up your own abbreviations to reply is always fun. Or use out of context abbreviations. My abbreviation loving colleague was so confused when I used a few military terms they didn’t know.

To create an alpha male, you start of from someone with anxiety. Then you boost that anxiety by overexposure to various exaggerated examples of masculinity. After that comes the next phase, selling the solution. Tell them they can be alpha if they just follow these people’s recommendations and buy those products.

USA news? They’ll freak out over a bit of afternoon rain and blow it up to the next disaster. It’s a bit surreal.

Some economist did his calculations and came to the conclusion that climate change up to 4°C would only cost 0.1% GDP (or something else ridiculously small). Somebody else remarked that his calculations showed the same 0.1% at -4°C. There was a a kilometer of ice on the spot he was now sitting when it was last -4°C, and you’d think the influence on the economy of that would be a bit more than 0.1%.

Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Technically ducks and velociraptors are both dinosaurs, regardless of what they eat.

“A wage growth curve that looks more like a middle finger to the vast majority” is how I heard it described today.

Because managers really like giving contracts to those giving a presentation in an exotic resort and have a great service agreement so all blame for mishaps can be shifted away from their career.

Microsoft style opt-in probably. You can choose between Yes and Later

So that’s how it works. Maybe people should also start harassing payment processors for weapon purchases, buying fossil fuels, oversized SUVs and whatnot until they stop caring.

That the tourisme sector in the USA is having a really bad year with an option to many more bad years.
