It's just insanity that Anthropic can openly say "we won't ever make money and our product will destroy humanity" and they can still raise a trillion dollars in an IPO.

My brother's in-laws last winter were paying almost $2000 a month to heat their (overly large and mostly uninsulated) old house with oil. I can't even imagine how crushing this winter is going to be for them.

My grocery bills are double what they were in 2019 now

Rocket Mortgage has a commercial that shows some schlub walking into his house with his groceries while the voiceover says something about how those three bags of groceries used to be six. Then the house starts talking to him, reminding him that he can cash in the tiny amount of equity he has in the house with a second mortgage and use the money to buy groceries. Happy schlub dances the rest of the way into the house.

It must be hundreds of thousands of people that have been conned by this one commercial alone into thinking that going into debt to buy groceries is a solution to their problems.

I quit smoking pot five years ago. Altman's not wrong re: me.

I was walking down the street the other day and a mother with a little boy holding her hand came in the opposite direction. The little boy pointed at me and said to his mother "look mommy, it's an old man!" I'm fucking 59, I'm not Christopher Walken.

My aunt was a hardcore fundamentalist christian. She thought trump was the antichrist ... and still loved him and voted for him. The antichrist will bring about the end times, which is something she wanted to happen.

For me it's the heartburn and the hiccups. My mouth and anus can take the hottest peppers in the world, the rest of me really can't.

A couple of years ago I grew some habanero peppers in my garden. One of the plants had been mislabeled, however, and turned out to be carolina reapers. Eating them didn't feel like normal hot peppers -- it felt like I had been punched hard in the lips.

My problem was always that I don't need eight fucking croissant rolls at one time. And those things are inedible except when they're fresh out of the oven. One of the grocery stores near me briefly sold half-sized tubes of them which was great, but the price was higher than the regular size.

It just says use a spoon, it doesn't say to use the tip. I've always pushed the rounded bottom of the spoon against the crease. If you were supposed to use the tip, you could just use a knife.

No cat taxation without cat representation.

Clicks Communicator BB clone

What I miss about Blackberry is the trackball. Touchscreens are fine for what they are, but the BB trackball allowed pixel-perfect precision pointing -- it was worth it having to clean the lint out of it every so often.

I don't miss the 16-bit graphics, though.
