One thing that I was trying to describe to the 15-year-old is that, when I was in college, google worked *so well* to find basically exactly what you were searching for that there was a site called "Let Me Google That For You" where you could snarkily send someone their question back and they'd see it animate the process of typing their question into google, then get the search results and bam, there's the answer to their question

I would *never* consider doing that now because almost never is the first hit the actual thing you want (and, honestly, it's getting rarer that it's top 10)

lmfao, I made so much money shorting the Tesla launch event. It's so much funnier to watch a bunch of shitty robots waddling around a room when you know you're about to make 5 figures overnight when the stock falls off a cliff at market open.

help i'm stuck

@hikari Are you evangelizing ad blockers?

you'd really just do that? just go into a conversation raw, unprotected, with no contraceptive barrier to prevent their words directly penetrating your brain? what if they said something that made you diseased. you'd be able to do nothing about it

hah this is a great transition timeline

I like working with doubles because Double.NegativeInfinity sounds like something you'd bust out to win an argument as a kid.
