      • …I feel like I can only do this by specifying definitions?

        …like…if marry=swear off the other two…gotta be breakfast…but…if marry means make a lot of promises before getting to the taking one another for granted part…well…now it’s lunch…&…if it’s about the wedding then it’s obviously dinner because that’s the better party

        …& if it’s “fuck lunch” as in “who needs ya?”…maybe…but…lunch also gets you afternoon delights…& nobody seems to be admitting that brunch & tea are out there all no-better-than-they-should-be so how much fidelity is there in the exercise, really?

        …but…if it’s [I] fuck[s wit’] breakfast…at least days that there’s enough time I don’t mostly just drink breakfast…probably would

        …so in the end I think I come out at marry dinner because in practice we make it work…fuck lunch because it’s a hassle & it kills your momentum if you were making progress pre-afternoon…& kill breakfast…or…at least drown the sucker with coffee?

    • …knew who it was gonna be before I clicked

      …only possible competition was altman saying intelligence as a service (like SaaS but IaaS) on a metered connection is how you’ll access the thing that puts you out of a job & prices you out of the subscription or however this circular ideas-economy business is supposed to work to make it worth all the money flooding in to float it

      …& palantir-guy is full off-the-deep-end on how his we-are-the-future future nullifies the educated female vote in favor of the young&dumb take-it-from-chatGPT male voters that will once more reign supreme as the coveted election-winners to be fawned over…or…whatever?

  1. Kill breakfast, fuck lunch and marry dinner.

    And even more so now because I just got laid off from my job on Wednesday, along with about 200 or unfortunate souls, as the company eliminated most of its US-based interpreter work force. I’m getting paid through today, which is nice – although I’d be even nicer if I were to receive any kind of severance, or even the PTO or Floating Holiday pay that I’d accrued.

    Oh, and that image that Meg posted reminds me that the last time I was summarily dismissed was on a Friday the 13th as well – in August of 2004, to be exact. Of course, that time they called my parents’ house and had them tell me not to come to work on Monday and to call the temp agency (from which I was about to switch to become a full-fledged employee of the call center) instead. This time, they sent us an e-mail around 9:30, put a meeting on our official work schedules for noon and fired us through Teams and kicked us out of our work computers by 12:04. That’s . . . more technologically efficient, I guess.
