Black tea to me feels like the sledgehammer, whereas coffee is this smooth slightly syrupy beverage, that feels much more delicate. Case in point for me, I prefer my coffee black, but I would have a hard time handling a cup of tea without at least a bit of oat milk.
I don’t know where tea gets this “gentle” PR from but I find it highly dishonest and honestly I’m tired of keeping my mouth shut about it so there now I’ve said it
I had that, and still get it from time to time, but found that if I wait until I’ve eaten to drink tea that it feels fine.
Coffee on an empty stomach is nothing, but strong tea on an empty stomach has me feeling like being assaulted at a molecular level
More likely to protect the engineers from legal ramifications
My dad has been that guy! We sure ate a lottt of Silver Wok during that time 😋
Yeah if investors can’t make cartoonish returns for doing literally nothing what’s even the point of gouging customers??
People will be laid off
Spoils will be enjoyed
This great economy… it will endure
The working class will survive!
I think people miss an important point in these selloffs. It’s not just the raw text that’s valuable, but the minute interactions between networks of users people.
Like the timings between replies and how vote counts affect not just engagement, but the tone of replies, and their conversion rate.
I’ve could imagine a sort of “script” running for months, haunting your every move across the internet, constantly running personalised little a/b tests, until a tactic is found to part you from your money.
I mean this tech exists now, but it’s fairly “dumb.” But it’s not hard to see how AI will make it much more pernicious.
Man I’d be so mad if I’d built up a sweet severance, only to have to quit for better work
Fuck yeah, that’s a good one. Just keep zooming out until it’s all allllright
Reject the 2 wolves theory and embrace the 1 cat theory
Jesus Christ. Just kidding, it’s David Rakoff. I find his essays comforting.
Hell yeah. I think it was Spyro – anyway, some psx game – that had to literally go through the source code and declare integers like i outside of loops, so they could be reused. All so the game would fit on disc.
Tbh I really hated the krudling posts on reddit, but here not so much. Maybe because I don’t feel like the platform is gaming my engagement, so I don’t have to feel guilty
Tell us about Cheems :)
I’m legitimately curious about their takes on this…
And yet you continue to order them
The connection is that they both require workers, but don’t want to pay them
Not happy about this, but present
What a quintessentially human attitude
Thank you, no one has ever accused me of looking at a situation objectively and I’m not about to start now, anyway now everyone sign my petition to put warning labels on tea
