If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Honestly kinda pumped that we’ll end up draining the Great Lakes to cool data centers so some AI algorithm can feed me an ad for the most perfect-for-me Ohio state hoodie.

Treadmill is broken again. I swear - every three months like clockwork it malfunctions and needs a replacement part. Never, under any circumstances, should you buy a Nordictrack. Just absolute garbage quality.

The military is funny because the post commander will issue a “late reporting order” and it’s actually just 9am. So a normal start to the work day.

I hate security management with the passion of a thousand exploding suns. Just the absolute worst part of my job and it currently consumes 99% of it.

Explaining the cause of WWII to my 9yo: Me: “Hitler was from Germany and he wanted to take over the world. He was like a super villain, he was so bad.” Her: “if he was a super villain, who was the super hero?” Me: “Franklin Delano Roosevelt.”

I’m a hater at heart so I’m loving this game. Also my wife’s grandmother is a HUGE eagles fan, and this could very well be the last time she sees them play for a championship.

Can I hand out a few of those hand wave security clearances to people in my organization? It would save me so much time and effort staffing all the paperwork to do it the proper way. I’d even use that extra time to for….LETHALITY!

I don't need an AI assistant for anything unless that AI assistant is a 1 for 1 copy of my own brain - flaws and all. There aren't enough fresh water lakes in the world to cool the server stacks needed for a machine to learn how I think. It needs to already know.
