Why is the character holding a bowling ball instead of, ya know, a billiard 8-ball?

Someone described politics today as a viscous cycle. Took me waaaay to long to realize what they were saying.

That's why before any job interview I put a bluetooth speaker in my pocket. Then when I'm about to walk into the room where I'm being interviewed I play a sound file. 5 seconds of silence, followed by a studio audience reaction of when the hot person enters the room.

You know the one.

Hot person enters through the doorway, says 1 sentence, and pauses because the audience is about to lose their shit going WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for 3 seconds. Then the actor says the line again, and continues with more that the one sentence.

So as I'm opening the door, I hit play, walk through the door.

"Hi, I'm here for the interview.......WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Hi, I'm here for the interview. Here's my resume."

"What was that?"

"Oh, that was just the studio audience reacting to the arrival of the main character in your story."

So far it hasn't worked. But I still get the ego boost!

I was interested in this really hot chick, but what ground me down and made me lose interest was that she would not stop sending me these videos... Top 50% of the video somebody would be telling a conspicuously fake "funny" story, on the bottom half of the video was the SAME person but pretending to gut-laugh on a 3 second loop. Omfg.... She was an 11 out of 10 but I just couldn't take it. I cannot pretend I find these things funny.

Haven't you heard of the archival formats .8bal .duk and .zim?

Well In my defense you can technically use Wikipedia and Obsidian to archive information about AI so Im still technically correct.

If you're working class the recession is already here

What are "AI related bonds"?

Bond yields are mostly being driven up by pensions cashing out.

AI companies have no reason to invest in government bonds afaik, much too long-term for their immediate investment needs

Recession soon™️

The ball is called a magic 8 ball and it's a toy popular in the US, you ask it a question and it gives you a random answer

I find that the default gui editor that comes with each desktop is good enough in most cases (xed with cinnamon, mouse with xfce, kate with kde, etc). But if you're looking for a terminal editor, a lot of people are praising micro as very user-friendly with solid functionality.

Obsidian, featured in the meme, is on Linux, and for a while now free of charge (but with paid official plugins for syncing and web publishing), and I'd say is pretty good.

I honestly just take notes in sublime text myself, which is paid, but I'm paying for it anyways and often have it open in the background. It can store unsaved tabs in some session file, so I can just put unimportant notes in a tab and have them available to open later.

I also want to mention nextcloud notes, I don't use it for much so I don't know how good it is, but I have a nextcloud instance and use the notes for simple notes I want to be able to access from my phone.

I'm a big fan of triliumnotes.org.

Single application, or if you want to wire it up as a server you can do that as well. Few small quark's - the biggest two are a mediocre mobile experience (to me) and lack of multi user support.

For when we put the tec bros on trial for destroying our planet.

Now, how is an 8-ball supposed to burn trillions of dollars, pollute the air and ruin the water?

Your argument can be applied onto literally anything. If you dont drink Pepsi your an anti-pepsier and a anti-intellectual because it has so many proven productivity benefits!

Ask the duck, the duck will tell you how.

Totally off grid + wireless, no power or data connection required, and it respects your privacy.

That would fall into the 25% of things you actually need AI for. But also that has been done...like thousands of times, you can just go download it.
