    In my lifetime, Jimmy Carter has been the only president that hasn’t been a complete fuckwad. I know people see Obama with rose tinted glasses because he was sandwiched between a doofus who let an evil war criminal drag us into wars so his buddies could profit and the literal worst president of the 20th and 21st centuries.

    Old man Biden did well as president but in my mind he will always be tainted by what an absolute piece of shit he was as Senator Biden.









  • My entire IT career has been funded by morons like this. This is just the latest moronic idea that is going to pay my bills. Cleaning up after vibe coders has guaranteed my income until I die. You see, posts like this focus on the code that is broken and requires another dev to fix it enough to get it going. There is a long road from “finally working” to “production ready” to “optimized”, and we get paid along every inch of the way.


    • FOSS - Because I have been in it since almost the beginning of my tech career (first Linux was Red Hat Halloween) and in a tangential manner have helped it along in many ways. It’s my default.
    • Veganism - Technically I am an inveg (involuntary vegan). I was pushed into a whole food plant based diet because it turns out I am genetically predisposed to coronary disease and absurdly high levels of cholesterol, arterial plaque, and inflammation. Built to run hard and die young, and I’m all out of young.
    • Fediverse - I am old enough to remember the old Internet and the Fediverse has a bit of that vibe. This is probably Lemmy leans more Gen-X/Xennial than other platforms.
    • UBI and other Socialist safeguards - I am a capitalist but I am more so a pragmatist. If we do not ensure the survival, viability of the population and access to the means of success to majority, then the system will collapse and we will all be fucked. Rich, poor and everyone in between. It’s just common sense. Rich fucks and politicians are always focused on fast, short term gains and never in longevity and sustained success.
    • Netrunner CCG - Because it’s just the best card game ever made (sorry MtG, but it’s true). I buy every new set, even if I don’t have anyone to play with anymore.

    I have no doubt there are many other lost causes I support or follow that I am blissfully ignorant of their niche status.

    EDIT:

    • Final Space - I pre-ordered the book so I can find out how it ends.
