Is it me or does the phrase "it's like X but on STEROIDS" kind of triggering. Steroids can help people in some cases, but they also have many negative side effects! However, colloquially the phrase is an idiom for just "better". Let's all aim to be more intentional eloquent with our word choice.

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

Is it just me? When you post a reply the little tag hangs down right in front of the back button, so you have to swipe it away, which never works for me, so i wait for it to leave before i can go back! Are there any places for feature requests? #bsky #featurerequest

I honestly wish I could play like this, I would enjoy Marathon 1000% more if it were single player, or Co-op only! The sweaty extraction shooter genre is just not for me, and honestly doesn't have as wide of an appeal as Sony seems to think it does! Release a DLC with PVE only mode!

Can somebody explain to me why the rule is "if you can't make rent, cut out the streaming apps, lattes, and avocado toasts" but it's never "if you can't afford your workers a living wage, cut out the mega-yachts, rockets, and spaceships."

I think it’s unfortunate we need to compare Starfox from the SM Galaxy vs the new game. But it’s clear the movie is more appealing. For me it’s the mouth and neck. Of course the lighting will be better, but the model it’s self has a longer lower jaw and fluffy awkward neck. What do you thibk?

For anyone freelancing in Canada: this system is crazy! If you make ovee 30k you have to start charging taxes when you invoice! You have to apply with your province (Revenu Quebec for me) to get your tax num. Then pay them this tax you collected quarterly! In addition to paying income tax! Woof.

Something very strange is going on
There is a seemingly coordinated effort to FLIP FLOP on Al. All of the execs who were hyping Al to death just a few weeks ago are now claiming that Al is a bubble, that AGI is nowhere near, and that Al will have a much smaller impact than anticipated.
> Altman called it a bubble
> Eric Schmidt said that AGI is basically bullshit
> Matt Garman (AWS CEO) downplayed its impact
WHY the sudden narrative switch?
WHO gave the orders?
I swear, it's like they're all part of some cult. They all embrace the same talking points all at once, and abandon them all at once.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
