not that they are short on cash but AWS could make a mint if they just had a thing where you type in a box what you want e.g. “make a Redis cache thingy and set it up so I can actually access the fucking thing from an application” and somebody did it and they just billed you $50

people think doing software engineering is like “you write a program” but it’s actually “you spend weeks waiting for some guy to get back to you with a one sentence reply to a question that still manages to reek of ‘you are the only stupidest person in the world who could ever have been dumb enough to have had this question and I have logged your idiocy in my Contempt File which I will summarily share with all the other guys while I decide which ticket from 4-8 business weeks ago to pick up’”

"Opossums are polyovular and polyestrous. Each lateral uterus opens into its own vaginal canal through its own cervix.... During parturition, the fetus tunnels through the connective tissue between the median vagina and the urogenital sinus to form a central vaginal canal... this central vaginal canal becomes epithelialized and remains patent as a permanent median vagina."

You had two perfectly good vaginas and DUG A THIRD?

FURIOSA (2024) had neat action sequences but did not really succeed at what I hoped it would do - giving a backstory for the character Furiosa - and just generally whiffed on meeting the epic scale of the film for which it was intended to prequel? Didn't hit correct for me tbh!

Well, got called a pedophile by the #CentralParkConservancy for wearing a bathing suit and flip flops next to a playground. And then threatened! The park employee told me "if I know what's good for me" I'll "put on more clothes" because he "knows what pedos like me want"
