That headline is way too good to read the article. I shall remain unenlightened by its contents and a little disturbed that robotkind now understands and desires the feel of a soft boob.

    This is one of the many reasons why a two-party system in a country as large as the US is totally insane.

    My dad loved to quote something like “A two-party system may be twice as good as a one-party system, but it's only one party away from a dictatorship.”

    I disagree. The entire system failed. Your leaders blew it when Jan 6 had no consequences. You can't let a coup attempt go unpunished, because that will only embolden them.

    Remember when we believed that "checks and balances" was a real thing. Turns out that, like the Easter Bunny, the evidence of it ever existing is highly circumstantial.

    I always like to remind people that in the frog boiling experiment, the only frogs that didn't react to the temperature rising, were the ones who'd had their brains removed. The other tried to escape once the water hit around 25 degrees C.

    Only for the King and the nobility. If you steal baby formula they will come down on you with the full force of the law and if an ICE agent steps in front of your driving car, he's allowed to execute you with no trial.

    So crime isn't legal, it's just that some people deserve to be exempt from the consequences.

    I had the misfortune of working under SAFE – Scalee agile or something. It was waterfall wearing a festive and extremely expensive Agile mask.

    I think more than 60 devs all working in the same codebase, a trading platform, and doing planning sprints individually, playing planning poker to estimate feature of features of features up to three months in the future. Most ridiculous thing I ever participated in and that says a lot.
