  • There are plenty of things to be confused about, but it is baffling to me that this should be one of them.

    A cup measure is a unit of volume.

    I get it if you are not familiar with that unit of measurement, but to be confused about using volume as a unit of measurement… it is not exactly rocket surgery.

    Seems like you are just looking for a reason to be annoyed.


  • I think what he is saying is they are still trying to figure out the impact on them and their response.

    We let ourselves get put in this shit, we need to deal with it. I am starting to believe the idea that we have to put fear into the heart of fascism. We cannot equivocate protecting free speech with protecting hate speech, we have to judge and call people out on their bullshit, otherwise we end up here.






  • I don’t think anyone is going to disagree with you that the direction IBM execs were pushing the tech was terrible. I think this is a great example of how ego and narcissism can stifle innovation.

    He was an industrial psychologist. He was trying to develope and fit the technology to a specific psyche. He couldn’t get them to learn/use the new technology, so he created an interface for them, that they could/would use.

    It also shows how it seems business executives attitudes haven’t changed much, when it comes to ego and narcissism.


  • I feel personally attacked. This is me right now at the moment.

    I hate congestion and coughs, but I can deal with them, but once I get a fever, it’s like my will to live has been taken away.

    The worst is when it starts as a nasal drip, them slowly migrates to the lungs. Then I’m coughing up phlegm for at least a week.

    Add on to that, how strong NyQuil affects my brain, it can be weirdly "out of body-ish’ for me.

    (Does it take days for the side effects of NyQuil) Cough suppressants to wear off any of y’all too?)
