Anyone who is older than 25 existed when the towers fell, which is significantly younger than 35. Whether a kid much younger than 11 can remember where he was when it happened is another question, but the math is correct.

I think I was around 26 when I started working.

Well, that really varies from person to person, doesn’t it?

My 30s were worse than my 20s.

Having to work full-time sucks.

It might be different for people who love their job or for those who are rich enough not to worry about work at all, but for me, the time when I had to work full-time was more or less the end of the ‘good times’.

Don’t Be Evil

A theocracy that only believes in Supply Side Jesus and ignores the real teachings of Jesus. The GOP would look a lot different if their religion wasn’t just a tool to manipulate their Christian base.

… straight through the brain, and not stopping.

If he had just implemented the list as a default that anyone could edit, he would have gotten pretty much what he wanted. I mean, some people would have edited the list, some would have deleted the list, but most people are lazy or uninformed and would have simply accepted the default.

That’s why the fake profile would not show that the storage is full. Unless they try to load lots of data onto the fake profile it would not be obvious.

Oh, the huge manatee!

To be fair, they all could have gotten the sword after siring an heir.

What better time is there to go on birth control than after you have the right amount of kids?

How many programmers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

a. None, it’s a hardware problem.

b. None, programmers can’t fit in light bulbs.

c. 100. One to hold the bulb and 99 to debug the house.

d. None so far, but they’ll get to it Real Soon Now.

All answers are correct.

Why do I have the feeling that he will introduce himself as ‘Linux’?

Kenobi could just be a common name, like looking for a John Smith. Also, with multiple planets full of people, there could be thousands of ‘Kenobi,’ even if the name is not common.

Sounds like Inception.

Oh yes, Inception would be a great Muppet film: at every level they go deeper, it switches between real humans and Muppets.

That poor child in the stock photo getting shown for an article on how children are getting dumber…

That being said, the reason why children are getting ‘dumber’ is probably because a) education is getting less money every year b) social media is destroying their attention span c) intelligence isn’t valued enough by society

At no point is getting a notebook part of the problem. Young people need to learn how to use technology.

Then why haven’t we heard about all the criminals (pedophiles, terrorists,…) being caught by Microsoft surveillance? Because they don’t care about the crimes you do. Their tracking is for money making only.

If I were a criminal I would not bank on it - they might use it for blackmail, too - but for the most part they are not in danger.

Let me try: Three capitalists enter a bar. The first one pays for his drink and doesn’t tip, leaving the bartender with less than minimum wage for the transaction.

The second capitalist leaves without paying since his wealth is in stocks and he can’t be asked to pay for anything.

The third capitalist says: “I just bought the bar, fired half the staff, and sold off most of the furniture. Your bar is now very profitable, and I just sold it for double. Try not to declare bankruptcy before I leave - it bums me out.”

Isn’t ChatGPT the sycophantic one? Especially the older models were horrible.
