I hate that I need to gaslight myself into liking AI just to keep my codemonkey job.

This just reminded me that it's been forever since I updated my hungry Stalin mod.

Even funnier when you consider Top Gun: Maverick was about amerikkkan pilots taking out a uranium enrichment facility (that'll be used to make nukes any day now!) in some unnamed enemy country. The amerikkkans pulled it off in old outdated planes while the Iran/Russia/China hybrid were using cutting edge planes.

The former dictator of Philadelphia, the late Frank Rizzo (🦀), is fondly remembered by eye talian amerikkkan libs and chuds throughout the greater Philadelphia area.

Gayness just magically poofed into existence when the last cycle of the Mayan calendar ended. Just like Shadowrun.

I feel like it has huge tagline potential.

I'm not familiar with bombings in Chicago. Are you talking about the 1985 MOVE bombing in Philly?

The IDF cum extraction squads need to hone their ball emptying skills somehow.

The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born.

Now is the time of memes.

The lemmy.ml meme community has a handful of users who periodically dump a bunch of low effort inflammatory sectarian memes.

As quiet as a leaf blower jam band.

It's been creeping slowly into my workplace over the past year. I've gotten by without using it myself so far, but there's been a soft push by management for developers to use AI in their daily work. Experienced devs with a measured approach to AI ("it's not a silver bullet, but incredibly and increasingly useful") are given a platform, while AI skeptics are quietly ignored.

Management says they don't plan on replacing engineers with AI, but it's hard not to get that impression when a draft for an upcoming company AI meeting has a heading titled "A Bigger Department Without Hiring a Bigger Department".

His success are overestimated tbh...

I know your comment touches on his insubordination at Brest-Litovsk, but this thread is reminding me of another Trotsky tidbit from the Russian Civil War.

The context has to do with the formation of the Red Army to defend from counterrevolution in 1919. A faction of the party congress known as the "Military Opposition" erroneously supported keeping the Red Army as a group of guerilla fighters instead of a regular army, but they had some legitimate gripes with one of the largest proponents of the latter and correct course. I speak, of course, of Trotsky.

The majority of the delegates from the army were distinctly hostile to Trotsky; they resented his veneration for the military experts of the old tsarist army, some of whom were betraying us outright in the Civil War, and his arrogant and hostile attitude towards the old Bolshevik cadres in the army. Instances of Trotsky’s “practices” were cited at the congress. For example, he had attempted to shoot a number of prominent army Communists serving at the front, just because they had incurred his displeasure. This was directly playing into the hands of the enemy. It was only the intervention of the Central Committee and the protests of military men that saved the lives of these comrades.^[History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks): Short Course, page 300. Foreign Language Press. Emphasis mine.]

Considering how many Trotskyite screeds are distortions about what Stalin did to muh Old Bolsheviks in the 1930s, I had whiplash the first time I read that paragraph.

I can at least admit to my therapists that I'm a communist and actually have them kind of agree with me and not dismiss me, so I really lucked out.

I've been doing therapy for years now, with mixed results. Luckily, I found a good talk therapist and just completed a series of a newer type of therapy.
