It's me! The writer dog you probably know from other places like FA or twitter. I'm also here! Probably.

So much of higher math is just like "Well we can't do this but we're gonna imagine that we can and see if we can bash our way to a solution before the math police find out that we're doing something illegal."

Boss: There's a company BBQ on Wednesday, all are welcome to attend! Me: Ok. It's from 11-2 and you assigned me 8 hours of work that day. Do I get a day off for this? Trying to double-commute this work wouldn't be practical. B: No do all your assigned work. But you can treat the BBQ as working hours

I've said before, the internet is really only useful for two things: 1. pictures of cats 2. pornography This is why furries are everywhere, running the internet and all. They're able to use the internet far more efficiently than anthropotypicals, since for them #1 and #2 can be the same thing

All the unlikeliest heroes emerging from this. Crackpot NIMBYs successfully fighting off AI datacenters. Apple sucking ass at AI and immediately giving up on it, which proved a winning long-term strategy. And now LinkedIn, where all the humans talk like awkward robots anyways...

LinkedIn added an "AI slop" button. The U-Turn is happening, expect to see a lot more of this from other tech companies.

Oh you have a fetish that involves being told what to do? You like having rules that are clearly and directly articulated to you? You like someone overriding your decision paralysis and task inertia by having someone else's expectations on you? Yeah no I'm sure the autism diagnosis was a surprise

Me: Sure, I'll go grab it out of my truck. Boss: Your company car is a Ford Escape. Heh, do you call it a truck because that's manlier? Me: I call it a truck because SUV is a fake term they made up to evade emissions regulations. Boss: That is the kind of answer you would have.

"Should we be talking about them like they're not here? It seems ru- oh." *notices the placid, dreamy look in their eyes with their tongue hanging stupidly out the side of their muzzle* "Oh, oh yeah I see what you mean they are NOT here lmao"

Look man I know that this sounds like the kind of shit I would make up but specifically Microsoft Teams does not work in that building. I don't know the science. Calls work, most other apps work, but specifically Teams is like "two bars ain't good enough, fuck u".

Crazy that Mitch McConnell didn’t see Lindsey Graham’s betrayal coming. Sith apprentices always try to kill their masters. He put down his treacherous student, but he’ll be forever on a life support system, if he even survives. He’ll be more machine than man.

Seeing all this "Oh we replaced 1,500 staff with AI!" just reminds me of during the pandemic when companies used covid as an excuse to do a bunch of layoffs they wanted to do anyways and saw a way to weasel out of the PR fallout of doing so.

2am conversation Them: Just finished a kink scene! Me: Neat! Happy for u~ T: Actually like, it was fun but we didn’t really mesh well. Probably won’t play with them again. M: Middling! Acceptable for u

Such a wondrous honor it is to be recognized unprompted by a fursuiter. Someone knows your face or general vibe well enough that they can recognize you even with most of their senses critically impaired and suffering prolonged heat exhaustion. And they wanna hug you~
