You thought they would research how to make life better, while they researched how to get more value from the customer.

Could have been worse. He could have pitched a tent in the last picture.

I, for one, ain’t creeped out by fictional pedos while real pedos are in power.

No, I just think people have different taste and different thresholds when to call someone ugly

I have never heard a guy decline a girl because she is poor.

Because she is fat and/or ugly? Sure.

I also don’t think you should date someone you find ugly. While sex is not everything, it’s an important part in most relationships.

There are two ways to interpret this comic:

• men are incapable of giving complements for anything but looks.

• her looks are the only thing worth praising

There are two bubbles. One is the bubble made by every company under the sun trying to shove AI into their product without any sense of why or how. And wallstreet is buying it up.

Then there is the second bubble. That is the big AI players trying to get AI ready to replace large parts of the workforce. It’s still unclear if that is possible with our current techniques or if we need a scientific breakthrough that might be years or decades away. Still, the tech companies spend money as if that is just around the corner.

Who knowes if these bubbles burst at the same time?

Oh please, it can do so much more: save the economy, fix healthcare, combat global warming, reduce racism,…

Ah, that explains a lot: the name is cursed

And why is that? Perhaps because productivity rises while salaries stagnated? Because the 1% bleed the rest dry? Because all laws and tax codes are written for the wealthy?

No, it’s because of immigrants (somehow)! /s

The Evil Ampire gets bought by an evil empire. Huh.

Can’t tax the Billionaires, they would run away

Can’t implement healthcare for all, it would cost too much

Can’t allow people to unionize, it would hurt business

Can’t regulate banks, the free market knows best

Can’t fix tax loopholes, the rich will just find new ones

…

I could go on. For the every common sense solution there is a lie from the right, why it would not work. Always the same disproven lies, repeated like a mantra.

In workers rights and beyond.

He didn’t use an IDE, but I don’t remember what he tried. He also wasn’t a fan of googling stuff. Use the man pages and nothing else.

Here is my story:

There were console outputs after nearly every line. I asked about them: “Oh, I couldn’t get the debugger to work, so I print everything to the console”

This was everywhere. The whole program was like this. On a standard Linux machine. It wasn’t even remote debugging or something. Just a local C++ program.

The filenames where written in 8+3. Again, on a modern Linux machine. His answer? “You never know where we’ll port this software to”

Onto computers that were outdated decades ago? To embedded systems? Of course he had no answer for this except “just in case…”

I could tell you more, that software was the stuff for nightmares.

Ctrl+C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-P. Another hard workday done.

Wich was, sadly, 5 minutes later (these are not the right clothes for skateboarding).

Ah yes! One step closer to servitors. Praise the Omnissiah!

How the fuck is there no fallback in case of an outage?

Perhaps Superman has cheat days? You know, to stay sane?

Police Chief: “So we release these people and you hunt them for sports?”

Superman: “Pretty much, yeah. It’s my cheat day!”

Police Chief: “But with your super speed and x-ray vision they really have no chance!”

Superman: “Do the animals have a chance when you hunt them? It’s just for fun!”

Police Chief: “But why Republican politicians?”

Superman: “Even on my cheat day, I still like to do good.”

The reward for efficient work is more work.

And of course the expectations that you always work that fast.

Oh, and complaints if you don’t work that fast, even if the new task is something completely different and takes more time.

Is this the bad place?
