ask if they play soccer

I mean, that is where the word came from originally.

Hand egg without brain shell.

My cat was a great mouser. Unfortunately, she would only eat the top/front half of the mouse -- leaving a little bit of spine sticking out -- and then put the rest on my pillow next to my head while I was asleep. Let's just say that scene in The Godfather Part I hits home.

During the 2024 election, Fetterman castigated his fellow Democrats (lol as if Fetterman is really a Democrat) for even mentioning Trump's felony conviction, saying "we're supposed to be the party of forgiveness". The same man who called Trump signs "PA's state flower".

Murderers and rapists generally have a cap on how many people they can fuck up.

I had an archaeologist friend some years ago with a "Reunite Gondwanaland" bumper sticker on his car. One day a Florida redneck in a giant pickup pulled up next to us at a red light, stuck his head out the window and yelled "yo, fuck Gondwanaland!"

I had a boss who wrote a script to automatically remove all comments from code for pull requests. Since nobody ever added meaningful comments to their commits (or made any contributions at all to the alleged documentation), the code base was a complete mystery to the people who were actually working on it. God knows what it seemed like to new developers added to the project. But hey, comments are a "code smell" (his exact words) so it was all good.

His primary justification of his "comments bad" philosophy was that if comments aren't kept up-to-date with the code, they can mislead and confuse future developers. This gets said a lot but it is something that I have literally never seen in 25 years of programming (I've witnessed -- and participated in -- a large number of project failures, and misleading comments have never been the cause of the failure). I pointed out that the same exact thing could be said about method and variable names but nobody ever advocates not using descriptive method and variable names; he had no response to this.

In my 25 year career as a programmer, a majority of my coworkers did that kind of stuff just by showing up.

8000 people with experience running social media

Is it that hard? As a programmer, I've never seen anything on Faceblerk that made me go "wow! How did they do that?"

I kind of agree it’s a multiplier.

It's definitely a force multiplier, it's just that the factor after the X can be less than 1.0.

Ron Funches' routine was great. "You don't believe any conspiracy theories? Like, you just believe the government is batting 1.000 in terms of telling the truth?"

The board would LOVE to eliminate their bloated salaries

"The board" is typically made up of the CEOs and other C-suite denizens of other companies, so it's in their interest to approve the bloated compensation packages because then their own bloated compensation packages get approved. Corporations are a true circle jerk in the finest sense of the term.
