I think people do sometimes. More so in writing, than in conversation. But, it’s too meta. If you’re just trying to have a conversation and someone interrupts you to say, “Hey, great use of that word!”, that’s probably not what you were trying to convey and is distracting. I suggest saving that for word games.

One thing you could do is to ask what a word means. Most people are happy to explain that, and would take it as a compliment of sorts, without getting miffed.

Please stop using AI, please.

If you’re required to use AI for your job, then sabotage the efforts.

I beg of you.

Might be the same structure, but Meta confirms they’re doing exactly this:

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg first announced the strategy of pitching tents and filling them with AI servers last year. It seems that he wanted the infrastructure to come online quickly while demand for compute is increasing exponentially.

Cop sees the recording light on your glasses. Cop slaps the glasses off your face.

Fucking hell.

That’s where we’re all living now.

I’m glad my TV is 13 years old and stupid as fuck.

I’m glad I cancelled Xfinity fiber the same day it was installed because I discovered they wouldn’t let me run my own hardware.

I’m glad I switched to Linux a couple of years ago.

I’m glad my car is a 2006 model.

But, I know I can’t repair the dyke[sic] with my finger.

Maybe they could, I dunno, be sincerely what they’ve been pretending to be for decades. You know, like the Republicans are doing now.

“blind hypocrisy”

Really, this is your argument? People are hypocrites for using tech to ban tech? You really phoned that one in.

My fucking idiot neighbors would say, “bUT ThE jObBBs!”

They’re just against anything that sounds vaguely “liberal”.

They want us in traditional American families. For themselves they want absolute power with zero responsibility, and they sincerely believe they’ve earned and deserve it.

Microslop can want in one hand, and slop in the other to see which one fills up faster.

The door fell off. That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

I paid $6000 cash for my current car about eight years ago. I’m retired, so I only drive it about once a week. I’ve put less than 2000 miles per year on it. Also, no cameras, no screen, no phone app, no nothing I don’t need or want.

There’s no way I’m buying a $30,000 car, both because I couldn’t afford it, and because what I have fits my needs perfectly.

So, are EVs “just better”? For some people, or maybe most, I imagine so. But, no, not for me, not unless the VW boss wants to give me one for free.

Is this the beginning of the end for the ISS?

I was a graphic designer and department manager for many years. But, the work I there did went far beyond that into product design, and I also had to understand both the offset printing process, and screen printing pretty well. I also set up the shop’s first network, because I was the only one who had a clue how to do it.

My first “real” job just out of high school was office machine repair tech, I have a high mechanical aptitude and took apart my toys and put them back together starting when I was a young kid.

A side story: When I was very young, I got both a mechanical toy helicopter that rolled around on the floor with spinning blades and flashing lights, and a tool set. The first thing I did was take apart the helicopter. But, I couldn’t put it back together. It was years later that I realized my dad put it back together and saved it to give to me the next Christmas. When, I did exactly the same thing. He said I did that three times before I was able to put it back together again.

I’ve failed to some degree at every sales job I’ve tried. I tried more than once because of the potential earnings lure, but I just don’t much like talking to random people.

They prolly get the raw milk for health reasons, to use on their Lucky Charms.

I get ultra-pasteurized milk.

I’ve only seen it in the half-gallon cardboard boxes, not the plastic one-gallon containers. But, I only go through half-a gallon a week, so I’ve never looked too hard for ultra-pasteurized in the plastic containers.

Turns out it’s not a very fine line.
