Better yet, there’s sites that have filters you can set. So you set the wattage filter to 60w and then…. no fucking results. But if you clear the filter, there’s lots of results, because it turns out their entire inventory has a wattage of “n/a”.

My apartment complex has a Facebook group that serves the same purpose. It’s kind of a mess.

Last week someone posted their security camera footage showing some homeless guy (in his-vis) casing their patio. The neighborhood watch quickly confirmed this scumbag had been poking around the property for days. A police report was created. People went out looking for him.

A couple hours later, the maintenance guy replies to the thread saying the guy is a contractor fixing damaged decks. There are signs up everywhere about it. People got email notifications. And yet they still found a way to create a panic and also waste the cops’ time.

Any time there’s a “popular” thread in that group, it’s always something like that.

My advice is to never join any online community with your neighbors. It’ll just scare you by how fucking stupid the average person is.

Good lord, they made their own software license for this?

It’s an ancient app that looks like shit on modern windows. It has little value beyond nostalgia. They should have picked an off the shelf license or not even bothered. I just can’t fathom the effort required to make up a software licensing scheme for such a forgettable product.

What if I watched the entire porn spoof?

Never have I ever seen Titanic.

I know people who will vote the conservative ticket solely because they’re still mad about the BC NDP of the 90s having a bunch of scandals. The “never NDP” crowd are a mirror of the “never Liberal”/“never Conservative” crowd.

When people make up their minds on something and build up a bunch of emotional insulation around it, they’re never going to budge on their position. Their egos can’t allow it. It’s like a slightly less pathetic version of the polarization in US federal politics.

This makes sense if you relabel the BC Conservatives on that graph as BC Liberals. It’s really just a story about the Liberals.

The BC Liberals were one of the major BC political parties. Despite the name, they had no relationship with the federal Liberal party. The BC party was significantly more to the right compared to the federal party. As a result, they captured a ton of centre and almost all of the right-leaning votes. This went on for decades.

Once the BC Liberals got defeated by the NDP, some weird stuff started happening. First they renamed their party from the BC Liberal Party to the BC United Party. This is almost certainly only because Justin Trudeau’s approval rating started sliding, and the BC party wanted to avoid getting a bad rep by name association.

Then they discovered that their existing leadership was actually super unlikable, and MLAs started declaring they would run as independents. Some outright declared for the BC Conservatives (who were, up until this point, a fringe party that didn’t win seats). That created some momentum and more MLAs started jumping ship.

BC United finally collapsed a couple of weeks ago. The party is effectively dead and I don’t think they’re even trying to win any seats next time around.

The situation is analogous to a local burger shop getting bought out and replaced by a Wendy’s. You could ask why Wendy’s is all of a sudden so popular, but the answer has less to do with Wendy’s being popular and more to do with them serving similar food as a previous burger joint, and since they’re in the same location, the same customers keep coming in.

“Why should I change my shirt? He’s the one who sucks!”

They couldn’t figure out how to write the AI prompt for that.

Ok but hear me out.

We acquired 20 new logos this month!

Moving to the “finding out” phase in 3, 2, 1…

Don’t forget that Microsoft isn’t some dumb company trying to jump on the AI bandwagon. They’re a cloud provider and Azure provides lots of AI options.

Microsoft is one of the platforms raking in heaps of money from dumb companies trying to jump on the AI bandwagon. They’re the equivalent of the people selling MAGA shirts outside trump rallies.
