My plan, if I’m ever forced to use it for work or whatever, is to have a Claude.md file that says stuff like
The only potentially generous way to interpret that statement is if “here” is like downtown in a major city or near a college campus or something.
But do you know who deserves the benefit of the doubt? Not this little fucker, not one bit.
Green Party: distract mostly left-leaning people to make it easier for Republicans to get elected
I lived downtown for a couple of years and drove north on Illinois street to get to work. This swerve as it crossed 16th street and the corresponding confusion to drivers just about killed me a few times.
Duh, it’s run by IBM. The most brain-rotted management suite on earth. All they do is chase the cool new hotness, and unfortunately it works for them – they’re mostly selling to other brain-rotted manager types. (The end users, as usual, get hosed.)
Indianapolis built the central mile square of streets aligned with magnetic north, but then the rest of downtown aligned with true north. It’s almost aligned, which causes problems at that border.
Fast enough for me, I guess. Faster than a ballpoint but not as fast as a rollerball. But a rollerball would turn what I do into an unintelligible smear, so I’m sticking with the gel.
Yep, it uses gel ink.
The Zebra G-450 is my daily driver. It feels sturdy, the click is satisfying, the ink basically can’t smudge, and it’s inexpensive. The refills are cheap too, and I’ve gone through maybe ten of them (writing lots of stuff in lab notebooks for work).
It doesn’t have that “buy one expensive thing that lasts forever” prestige because it’s not expensive. But I can’t wear this thing out.
The entire “AI” industry feels built on the premise that you never have to get permission for things.
No slop
I’m annoyed at the state of Apple’s app ecosystem. MacOS is worse this year than it’s been in a long time and I’m not updating on Macs that I control.
But have you used a windows pc recently? It’s like banging rocks together. Somehow, they keep finding ways to make it worse every year. Or month. So yeah, I’m using a Mac because it’s the less terrible option.
(And good luck getting your IT people at work letting you put Linux on your laptop.)
We have been complaining about this shit for YEARS.
Using speakerphone in public is acceptable in one scenario: your phone’s normal speaker/mic is broken, you don’t have headphones, and a loved one is calling you as they’re dying.
The Biden administration, in a move that infuriated trumpies, withdrew US forces from Afghanistan in 2021.
You should try yelling “money” again, that’ll definitely convince people. Of. Well, whatever it is you’re trying to convince us of.
There is nothing as hilarious as someone trying to use fancy words but missing pretty basic concepts of the language.
You’re trying to sound smart. It’s making you sound dumber.
“I am so smart, the answer is obvious. So I won’t tell you. If you don’t get it, you’re not as smart as me.”

I can’t think of a more direct way to get ignorant parents to understand the harm they’ve caused than for their own children to suffer from their actions
I don’t need them to understand. I’m okay if they’re angry. They can throw a fit on Facebook and get a million likes. But if their kid doesn’t get the measles, it’s worth it.
You’re saying you want to be proven right. I’m saying I don’t care what they think as long as their kids are okay.
And yeah, I’m from the US. A rural town from a flyover state. My parents vaccinated me during the Clinton administration because the whole right wing coalition was there to disagree with him, not convince their rank and file that he was the antichrist.
They can’t make their constituents hate “the left” (for whatever that’s worth in the US) any more than they already do. So why not just do the right thing? You’re correct in that center-left people will never enact what I’m suggesting. I’m going to stick around and make sure better people replace them.
Hi, I’m Dave American, and I’m running for President.
