also what in the cursed fuck is going on with the glyphs over the “meter” bars

kinda impressive that “Factor Fexcectorn” shows up twice, imagine how many credits were offered on the pyre of context management

i haven’t tried to spend thought on the why of his posting (I have better thoughts I can waste time on), but if you’re right about the points you guess on then I argue his position and actions are even more fucking dangerous (because those won’t shine through easily to those of lesser experience unless very specifically be made to show with care and forethought)

either way, he remains muted in my feed. for being interminably tiresome and annoying as fuck.

it happened again, I Posted. dash of thread to it too. some of y’all may enjoy

and yes that capital P is load bearing

It’s not where I obtained this PR but how.

the inability to follow a through b through c here is….something

feel like I’ve seen variations on that in a few places myself. would be interested in seeing a source, if anyone has. could be an interesting piece by itself

I snorted a bit of my drink

I unfollowed masnick but haven’t muted yet. been close tho

relatedly, Josh Johnson’s video about this is pretty great. I’m afk rn but I’ll get a link soon and update

e: link

slightly OT veering to the point: I try to maintain a relatively diverse set of feeds on muh socials, including finding people from other cultures and backgrounds in that. and yet I’d ended up muting this person some months ago for constantly being very Thotleader with borderline populist “edgy” takes that always have some pernicious shit wrong with it

this skeet is a perfect example of it.

yup

Yep, he’s been saying bad shit for a while (18~24mo I’m aware of), glad more people are seeing it though

can we print this on shirts and send it to their office(s)?

I guess the main problem is getting reaction shots with the recipients…

sorry my brain’s already clocked out for the day (/week?), so [insert sneer here]

context is this

Meanwhile, the $800 million Kraken raised across its two recent rounds of financing further solidifies the company’s balance sheet before its planned IPO next year… Prior to the two rounds, Kraken had raised only $27 million in venture capital.

simply a mere 29.6x amplification. perfectly normal. 12000000% in line with the economic market shift between checks notes Less Than A Decade Ago and now

politely: while I understand the impulse behind this discursive angle, it’s probably not the greatest idea to have it here

it sucks when you learn a thing like that about a person. it’s like blowing an efuse: generally one way, not easy to go back without a lot of work, and you may not want to bother

I’m sure specifics and timing don’t matter. can always tune that efficient later, amirite?!

(although once again a very I am the scream at how rapidly this toxic waste is becoming rampant in the commons :|)

jesus, that seems insidious

and unfortunately I speak enough ghoul that I suspect I know how that’s being sold, too! a way for companies to “manage outflow”? and perhaps a dash of “cultivating a reputable $x base” in there too?

nvm that these intermediation fuckers are going the standard Bridgetroll[0] route too, which is also a problem

I’d be lying if I told you I knew! my most interesting interaction with technisch-mechanisch deutsche has been through the lens of shorthand column names in an oracle db (where truncated col name length limit caused applied). no, not kidding. that was an interesting project more ways than one!

(very Choose Your Own Adventure db schema too, and I suspect I’m still among the only in country who have strong knowledge about it today)
