Slightly better than my path.

I bought a house this year, also age 40. To get there, I took a job with a large soulless corporation that is slowly destroying all of us, and then borrowed against all my retirement to get my down payment money.

I just keep saying, “At least I have a house…”

But, only after not getting an answer from Copilot.

But, my long-time sole password of TrustNo1 should be good right??

Won’t somebody please think of the economy?!?

Michael Scott vibes.

“Brand New Plasma TV. Fits right into the wall.”

Or…if she’s going to be a writer…she could learn to write.

Oof!

Isn’t the Chromium project still open source? I guess forking things and building from there doesn’t happen anymore?

I don’t even know how to use Android without Nova…

Why does nothing good ever last?

That’s very fair.

We literally refer to it as “getting Luigi’d”.

This was always the plan.

They only did the this to get their name in the news and get some people talking about them again to increase revenue.

The CEO is taking a position on the board.

This is the most important part of this whole “we did it, Reddit” moment.

This is entirely a PR move and not actually going to do anything.

Well, that would just be impractical, right??? I mean what purpose could there be in a register of people with the actual weapons, constitutionally-protected or not, that are most often used to murder dozens of people in a single sitting?

Next you’ll be wanting to use that registry to make sure that certifiable crazy people can’t get a modified semi-automatic rifle and possibly attempt to keep people safe. What use could that bring?!?

Sweet! When school lunch debt wasn’t enough for the kiddies, we’ll get them starting out life in debt one way or another.

But, I thought his boss was- Oohhhh!!!

I’m gonna drive my car…because that’s necessary, but I haven’t eaten meat (red, white, blue, whatever) for 20 years, so between that, not adding to the surface population, and not voting for complete jackasses, I think I’ve at least offset the driving.

I have a friend who was part of their 1900 layoff shortly after acquiring Blizzard in 2024. Basically, brought into a meeting and then no more job.

She learned last week that every single person who remained in her former group except one had been laid off in this last round. We’re talking about people who had been with Blizzard for years and years and had been happy with their jobs and loved even playing the games that they were making. Just poof! Gone.

The layoffs have been asinine enough, but the completely tone-deaf response from one of their leaders saying “use AI to help with the trauma of job loss” has just been the icing on the cake.
