I had an archaeologist friend some years ago with a "Reunite Gondwanaland" bumper sticker on his car. One day a Florida redneck in a giant pickup pulled up next to us at a red light, stuck his head out the window and yelled "yo, fuck Gondwanaland!"

I had a boss who wrote a script to automatically remove all comments from code for pull requests. Since nobody ever added meaningful comments to their commits (or made any contributions at all to the alleged documentation), the code base was a complete mystery to the people who were actually working on it. God knows what it seemed like to new developers added to the project. But hey, comments are a "code smell" (his exact words) so it was all good.
His primary justification of his "comments bad" philosophy was that if comments aren't kept up-to-date with the code, they can mislead and confuse future developers. This gets said a lot but it is something that I have literally never seen in 25 years of programming (I've witnessed -- and participated in -- a large number of project failures, and misleading comments have never been the cause of the failure). I pointed out that the same exact thing could be said about method and variable names but nobody ever advocates not using descriptive method and variable names; he had no response to this.
In my 25 year career as a programmer, a majority of my coworkers did that kind of stuff just by showing up.

Is it that hard? As a programmer, I've never seen anything on Faceblerk that made me go "wow! How did they do that?"
I kind of agree it’s a multiplier.
It's definitely a force multiplier, it's just that the factor after the X can be less than 1.0.
Ron Funches' routine was great. "You don't believe any conspiracy theories? Like, you just believe the government is batting 1.000 in terms of telling the truth?"
Q: What even is an "imagine dragon"?
A: Imagine dragon deez nuts across your face.
I was also on Accutane in high school. The worst was after swimming in a pool -- the chlorine made my face and lips literally crack. Never tried to kill anybody, at least.
the fucking thing’s lane assist will actively and agressive fight me if I try to switch lanes without putting on my signal lights
That sounds like fun when you're trying to avoid a collision.

That's why "Hiroshima" is now a unit. We're lucky "Tsar Bomba" isn't.

During the 2024 election, Fetterman castigated his fellow Democrats (lol as if Fetterman is really a Democrat) for even mentioning Trump's felony conviction, saying "we're supposed to be the party of forgiveness". The same man who called Trump signs "PA's state flower".
