Trying to get away from toxicity.
Why can I not upload a picture for my profile?
Oh, because I love that white in blue so much I'm leaving it.🤦

Watching a murder documentary and it opens with "I grew up in a safe place" and I'm thinking, then why is there a murder documentary about where you grew up?

If every time you "reach across" the "partisan divide", you pull back a bloody stump where your hand used to be, the shortcomings and naivete of this strategy become evident.
The best cure for ideological bias is find someone on the other side and go to lunch with them.

Ministry of Truthers
For years we've heard that Biden created a "Ministry of Truth," which didn't actually happen. But, I still hear people talking about it. But then Trump directed his FCC boss to be a literal Minister of Truth and the story disappeared within a day or two.
What are we even doing here?

You work with databases.
You have to query the database.
Wouldn't it be easier to write a program that can use laymen's terms to query a humongous ever expanding database?
Yes. Would it be cool if it was also a worm that rearranges things on your computer?
Yes.
It's a virus on a loop.

I don't understand what is confusing about this. Until recently, you could look at computers and say "Look, they're nothing like us, they're calculators, we can complete many intellectual tasks they never could." Easy, practical distinction in capabilities.
Now it's getting much harder to say that.

I was watching a doc on Woodstock '99 the other day and it clicked that the mentality of that crowd is the mentality of a lot of people in this country right now.
No reflection of "what did we just do" more "everyone else made us do it because they wouldn't cater to our every whim of the moment"

Again, it’s not just that this Tesla asshole killed a mother and her child with his recklessness.
It’s that as his victims were dying, he did nothing to help them and instead sat scrolling through his phone.

I got on a kick about this a few days ago.
A lot of people who worked for companies or institutions that helped build Stuxnet are in the industry now.
Plus, the more I think about how Cowork and the like works, the more I'm reminded of viruses and software patches through torrents and the like.

Stuxnet and NotPetya
If you're familiar with those cyberweapons, then software that autonomously spreads, messes up computer systems, and ends up acting in ways beyond its creators' intentions or control isn't a brand new shock.
