Gvim. I even write documents in it and then paste them into Word for final formatting.

I am not sure if I am scared of a high jaguar or want to pet it. Maybe both?

Jaguar to his buddy: "Dude, I was so baked I let a hairless monkey pet me. I got the munchies though, so I ate him."

I feel like the Dems ought to pull the records from one of his bankruptcy cases and just run an add that runs through all of the creditors he stiffed. "Employee A, janitor at casino, owed $700, received $30." "Plumber who fixed pipe at hotel, owed $1400, received $60." The man bankrupted a casino, a literal money printing machine. Why would we want his incompetent ass anywhere near the controls of our country.

Still hotter than all but 2023 and by a considerable margin. Maybe we are stabilizing at a new normal, but more likely it was a just a little bit of variation on our hockey stick.

Last time he ran was to dodge the Vietnam draft.

Man, if we could only find a video of a dolphin doing a couch. Did I just rule 34 that into existence?

When being gay is criminalized, I will be at the forefront of calling for Thiel's prosecution because I am that petty.

When Barrett was nominated, my comment was, "she is the kind of woman that would vote to make herself chattel." Anything even remotely rational from her is a win. Historically, the Court has had a tendency to make justices more liberal. They're generally smart people and exposure to well argued positions does tend to make you think.

Of course Thomas is out there besmirching the entire legal profession with his shameless acceptance of graft. I wonder if he lets Harlan refer to him as "boy."

One of my cats has a much bigger murder section than the other. Her brain is probably about 30% murder and 30% food. Oddly, she is substantially thinner than the other one who is not very food or murder oriented. The porky one is mostly nap - probably 60%.

I am using CentOS 9 in WSL. I don't particularly care what distribution I use because I mostly using a bash shell as a software development environment. I prefer apt to flat packs and use ubuntu 20 on an embedded system that I write code for at work. I keep wanting to get more experience with KDE and gnome, but I haven't been good about using my free time to mess with OS. As long as I have vim and a prompt that uses vi input, I am pretty content. (Does this make me sound old? The kids at work have trouble following what I am doing when we pair program.)

All AI's motto: trained by trolls.

Fundamental issue: cannot distinguish an "upvote because funny" from an "upvote because accurate"

I have some expertise in some subjects, but even those in those subjects I sometimes say wrong things for various reasons including, but not limited to: 1. I am dumb. 2. I misspoke. 3. I was trolling. 4. I misunderstood the question. 5. I half-assed it. 6. I'm dumb.

Humans struggle with nuance and sarcasm (some people genuinely think Colbert is a conservative, Poe's Law, Andy Kaufman, Borat, etc.). It is no surprise that AI would be bad at it too.
