I love both of their characters so much. Rosa I especially like because I don’t think I’ve seen a character like her in that way (not saying there isn’t just that I haven’t seen it) but also the affect that Stephanie puts on to play her is amazing.

Stephanie Beatriz who plays Rosa on Brooklyn 99 talks about this. She was auditioning and heard Melissa Fumero got the role for Amy. Stephanie said she was happy and sad because she knew that there was no way they would put two latina women on the show.

What’s funny is that your parody is only barely an exaggeration.

it just seems odd to me that the government tried to stop it and we’re saying that they were secretly supporting it, but okay

sounds like China’s government can be incompetent to me

to be clear, doesn’t mean I’m overlooking all the other things they do, there’s a lot of bad shit and I don’t think China even sees a need for democracy to be clear … I think that’s self-evident.

Chinese Gangs for years operated Pig Butchering scams against the west.

is the really the Chinese government doing that? doesn’t every country have some sort of scammers running inside of it?

lol it’s to talk about new AI tools and just a bountiful smorgasboard of toxic positivity.

My coworker got in trouble for using the word “circlejerk” in our AI Slack channel.

The answer to your song, Boy George, is yes.

I’m in ops and my director said they wanted product to be able to prompt engineer our system. I said we have a huge distributed cloud native system that interacts with services in other AWS accounts and all that. He was like, yeah, he wants me to at a whim spin up a new environment for them to do it – all services and interactions and everything with each new ticket a product person wants to try something. I get chewed out when our cloud bill goes up … so like wtf …

I was like, what happens when they prompt something that fucks the VPC or security groups or configuration, who tracks that? what about the resulting PRs? who are they going to harass if something doesn’t work? am I going to be wasting my time debugging an AI slop environment? I don’t even have the time to fully implement the observability I want in prod and I’m supposed to waste my time supporting this bullshit?

Libertarians in shambles.

I really didn’t enjoy FF7: Remake. It put me off Rebirth and when I learned about the multiple ahem … I’m glad I didn’t bother continuing.

I generally like Krystal’s other views and she’s married to Kyle Kuklinski (whom I like) and they have shows together and she has good takes going up against Bill Maher. I started to watch her like a year or two ago. It was just when Fauci was getting an award around his retirement or whenever and I just saw an episode of Breaking Points just attacking him. They were like, he’s just a liar and he doesn’t deserve any awards for his career and it completely put me off for a while. I did restart listening to her myself … but I’m more “critical” or aware around her. Destiny popped into my feed recently and I really like him and then people say he’s pro-Israel … so I’m going to just pay more attention around those areas.

That being said I turned off Breaking Points the show itself entirely. The covid denial comments were overwhelming during the Fauci episodes and then Saagar (or however you spell it) was a Trump supporter to a degree for a while. He did a mea culpa from the “manosphere” stuff eventually though.

Fauci was trying his best to navigate a shitty situation and you had fuckers like Krystal and Sagaar on Breaking Points spewing hatred at him. All of them are fucking assholes. Fauci isn’t a fucking politician or pundit or anything … he’s trying to save lives by making choices and decisions where people were ready to sacrifice him regardless for political reasons. But Breaking Points are oh so happy to shit on him and the comment section is full of antivax and covid deniers.

Thank you for mentioning the horrible implementation of the power button options.

Update and shutdown? Nah, I don’t feel like it. I’m gonna restart five times also and then I’m boot into Windows.

I especially don’t like it when they take other people’s photos and then imply shit like incest where they say the girl is defending the love for her brother. It’s obviously cyberbullying and spreading it ain’t cool.

When they want to move manufacturing or people lose their jobs … these guys are all “this is just business”.

You did good, mate.

I genuinely appreciate it. I don’t need recognition to do a good deed or to help someone, but it is nice to hear. So appreciate it.

Remember they can’t afford mods or to pay anyone. They can rip off your content for themselves though!

They need these guns to protect themselves against an authoritarian takeover of their government!

No, no, not the CURRENT one … the imaginary one … /s

Whatever it takes to make him drop out …
