programmers

They don't program, therefore they're not programmers (and they'll probably never be again, since using LLMs has been proven to damage one's ability to reason and learn, probably permanently).

Vibe coders, maybe.

Victims of the LLM scam, definitely.

According to the novel American Gods it's a discreet way to dispose of the bodies.

No one expects them to be hidden in plain sight inside the klunker in the middle of the ice, no one's going to risk walking there and possibly drowning, and once it drops no one's going to dive to the bottom of the lake to find the skeletons in the old klunkers from previous years.

I still have a fondness for TARGA (.TGA) from back in the day...

I live close to the central area of an ~80,000 population city.

Looking at Google maps I've got about 10 general stores within 300 meters, probably thrice that within 500m, plus plenty of smaller specialised stores.

300 to 600m seems like a reasonable distance to walk to and back with four to six bags of groceries.

For smaller more specialised shopping trips one or two kilometres would be fine too.

Three might be a bit much, though I've often walked that to go to the cinema.

Atlanta!!!

Atlatl. Or simply spear-thrower.

It's a bit like a fing-longer, but for your whole arm, and therefore more useful.

Same principle as the sling: they make your arm longer so the "hand" moves faster when you swing it, allowing you to throw stuff at higher and more lethal speeds, and farther.

We're still quite lethal even without these tools though, just look at baseball pitchers.

Also our accuracy and reach when throwing stuff.

Especially when combined with our ability to make stuff sharp by banging it against other stuff and breaking it just the right way.

Android is the bastard that just rapes you and punches you in the face, unlike the other bastard, who rapes you and your cat and stabs you in the eye.

computers

Apple don't make computers, they make wealth extractors.

Of course it's limiting your options!

Screwing up the customer should not be an option you're allowed to take!

Which one?

Pym, I'd assume. I mean, the guy beat his wife, created Ultron, and is generally even more of an asshole than Stark...

I did warn you.

It'd need some serious mental gymnastics to consider, say, raping babies not evil, though.

As for dualistic religions, they fail either the "can god prevent evil" or the "does god want to prevent evil" checks, therefore their gods either aren't omnipotent or are themselves evil.
