I quite literally yelled at the introduction of ‘the cloud’ as yet another stupid corpo buzzword.

…

I was working at MSFT the first time someone hsd ever asked me if I had a ‘cloud’ backup.

What? Do you mean a remote server, offsite?

No, no, in the cloud!

5 minutes of research later.

Oh, so yes, you do mean on a remote server somewhere.

No, no, in the cloud!

Remember when the internet was more than like 5 websites?

Gen Z doesn’t.

I thought so too untill they threatened to call the police.

Or playing League.

It is extremely easy to use the internet without using google.

I’ve done similar things in a coffee shop before, just working on my own code, and I have actually been ‘politely’ asked to leave by the staff.

The staff evidently being a bunch of morons who thought I was… hacking into … something?

They didn’t know what, but they were very concerned.

I was unable to convince them I was not, because ‘terminal’ = ‘hacking’ to idiots who only know anything about computers via movies and tv shows.

quite ironically, they are using syntax, specifically / , to indicate a specific kind of meaning afterward.

/sarcasm

/s

/joking

/j

I’ve seen all these used to more explicitly indicate that the previous statement was sarcastic, or a joke, due to irony being largely dead, but also to help with people may not natively read/speak/write english.

correct, you and droppedpacket beat me to it

Is this supposed to be a joke or have we truly gotten to the point where … coding in a terminal via like hyprland or w/e, without relying on an what is basically an annoying tutorial character from a video game that acts as an assistant…

This is psycopathy?

Having actual competence in one’s field?

Oh god we’re all doomed, they’ll soon be alternating between worshipping us demigods, or burning us at the stake.

Either stopkillinggames.com has crashed…

Or the counter has exceeded its max possible value.

Gamers…

This is our independence day.

Ok, I may not have great photoshop skills, but I do have a knowledge of ancient memes:

I lack the photoshop skills, but uh

The ‘plap plap GET PREGNANT’ meme, but with a therapist shouting:

‘accept what you can’t change’

‘don’t blame yourself for things out of your control’

‘oh, the copay is $125’

‘you missed the last appointment so we charged you for not canceling in advance’

‘im worried you’re not taking our sessions seriously’

sorry psych professionals, there is no ethical therapy under capitalism

… Maybe they are Hist sap repositories?

There probably actually is some lore on this, and knowing Elder Scrolls / Bethesda, it is probably inconsistent/contradictory.

Alright class settle in, today’s lecture:

Argonian Sexual Dimorphism:

• How does a reptile have mammaries?

OMG what a shit take >=[

bad dum tish

I was this close to also mentioning that yeah lol, turns out any guy can have pleasure and potentially an orgasm from proper prostate stimulation…

And you don’t even have to be attracted to other dudes to be able to do that, and enjoy it!

Pegging and toys exist!

But again, nope, not allowed by heteronormativity.

To go with another personal anecdote… different girl I was dating at one time, who considered herself pansexual… well, I broached the idea of using an anal toy… and she, again I remind you, a self described pansexual… just started calling me gay, constantly made buttsex jokes and quips all the time, started trying to get me to hook up with dudes.

WTF?!

I respect her gender and sexual identity/preferences, she doesn’t respect mine at all, while she’s literally wearing rainbow flag pins and going to every pride event in town and constantly making IG posts about how everyone should be more inclusive and accepting?

Sorry to rant but yeah, the hypocrisy is strong and multifaceted in this realm.

Wait, what, you don’t have a cloaca?

I mean, the state of sex education in the US is abysmal, misinformation and just no information is so rampant that it’s rather silly to expect the average young adult to know the detailed anatomic names.

In my life so far, I’ve dated plently of women who didn’t know anatomical names, or with a few, even basic signs of what a vaginal health problem looks like.

With one, I had to deduce that her described urinary problems were possibly actually bacterial vaginosis when I uh, also noticed the smell.

She got extremely pissed off, thinking I was insulting her, thinking I was saying she had an STD/STI… a week later she’s back from the doctor and yep, I was right, now she’s on antibiotics.

How many women can, off the top of their head, identify the vas deferens, cowper’s gland, or know that testicular torsion is even a thing?

Unfortunately that requires self-awareness, enough bravery to be able to have an opinion someone may disagree with with, the ability to handle such a disagreement beyond ‘lol i was joking’ … and basically, an actual personality.

No, no I do not.

Which is why I specifically highlighted that Noem is a demon person, by including the puppy killing reference.

So… there was no need to re-confirm that Noem is a demon person… because my original sentence implied this, by pointing out that she killed her own puppy.
