If I am calling you out, it is not because I want to. It's because you need to fix your shit. I don't enjoy yelling at anyone... but I will, if I have to, in order to protect others. Because if I don't do that, if I don't protect other people, why do I even exist at all? Related

LG makes the best TVs, end of story, but their software is shit and spies on you, NEVER connect them to the internet/WiFi, instead buy an Apple TV box and connect that, that doesn't spy on you and has no ads, then connect it with HDMI and you're good, also no annoying LG TV updates

It feels like no matter what I've accomplished in my career, my current most valuable talent is that if you locked me in a desert cave with a computer and some GPUs I could Iron Man the shit out of that and emerge with a functional LLM using just what's in my own head. And that's really funny. LLMs Related

In orgs pushing the envelope, there's always a minority that can be counted on to get shit done against all odds, driven by force of will, resourcefulness, influence, etc. When you identify them, vest in them authority, autonomy, and step back and watch them perform miracles. Related

Surround yourself with people whose "work" is their calling, craft, and play. They are intrinsically motivated, are driven to excel and do what's right, and and get so much shit done just because it's fun. Related

Holy fucking shit, this wasn’t actually on my bingo card for “ways we’re gonna kill women after we let Roe v Wade slide” Quoting @QasimRashid TWENTY ONE (21) Republicans in South Carolina sponsor bill to execute women who seek an abortion. It defines a fertilized egg as a human & appears to list no exceptions. Executing women is not fringe GOP. It’s your horrifically mainstream “pro life” GOP. Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
