404 is the first time I’ve ever felt like a news source (that isn’t a journalist I know personally) has been consistently high quality enough to pay for it

I’m waiting for night to fall so I can hook my headphones up to the good amp and torture my brain with these directly

IP is the meanest protocol because without it nobody could yell at me when I steadfastly refuse to acknowledge the merest possibility that there could be a joke I don’t understand

the punchline to your joke was The Aristrocrats and yet there were no aristocrats present in the body of the joke

in all seriousness, not all incestuous families are aristrocratic, and the interchanging of these terms can mislead people. the same thing is happening with the “comedy” elsewhere in this thread.

why are you talking about iq? the image doesn’t mention it and context and object permanence can’t get you if you post enough shit memes

[–] self@awful.systems 5 points 11 months ago

you don’t say

intersectionality is when you carry water for paul fucking graham and get pissed when the name techbro applies just as well to your shitheaded engineering coworker who HR can’t seem to fire as it does to your failson of a CEO who claims to be an expert programmer and has personally caused a significant amount of production downtime in his attempts to prove it

this kind of cognitive dissonance only happens when you’re on the verge of realizing that you are, in fact, the shitheaded techbro, and you have to do what it takes to pretend the label only applies to billionaires

I’ve worked in offices with booze, ping pong, and arcade games!

but not for us. it’s used as a hiring incentive and plonked into the middle of the office, but any use of those things at work will quickly result in a PIP. the booze, ping pong, and arcade games are for techbros only — the founders and their nepotism hires, specifically. any engineer caught using any of those things clearly isn’t working hard enough, because they haven’t converted their entire body and mind into a machine for writing shit code for shit capitalists.
