@vxunderground Ok, but just a show of hands. Who is hiring jr level currently?

I've got students messaging me asking if cybersecurity is still a "safe" field to go into because of the advancements of AI Dawg, our career value has fucking EXPLODED. Are you fuckin' with me right now? - AI vibe coded slop as far as the eye can see - AI deep fakes as far as the eye can see - AI written emails, scams, as far as the eye can see On top of that, due to how accessible the internet is now, there is a "cyber attack" literally every god damn second. It's nonstop. The internet is still very much the wild, wild, west. Like, bro, this shitty little malware website I run brings in 20,000+ malwares a day with a budget of $15, a slice of pizza, and cat pictures. Do you have any fucking clue how widespread cybercrime is? Don't even fucking start me on crypto theft I'll lose my mind writing this post, bro. It's literally nonstop, around the clock, weekends and holidays. It never ends. Cybersecurity is only getting bigger.

@thomasppedersen @theonlyredbaron @emilykmay Grandma out their mowing the lawn, washing the car, clearing the gutters...

@theonlyredbaron @emilykmay And your grandpa just went to doing nothing at all? With all due respect, I find that hard to believe.

when men retire, they golf all day and and take fishing trips and they still have the gall to say they're "retiring" their wife when what they mean is she is leaving paid work to do full-time unpaid work.

@robertgraham Like Obama did?

No, no, he has to first declare that you are a terrorist, which he can do for no reason. Then he can murder you.

@TychoBrahe If it's "stays easy" because they're using gen AI to complete assignments I expect the market to flood with low skill/low work ethic coders. We'll see what the market will bear I guess.

@TychoBrahe In college programming classes about 50% of the lower level classes were people that just saw programming as easy work with a large paycheck, as the courses got harder they were weeded out for the people who actually enjoyed it.

This story is very odd to me. All the people I know who write code actually like doing it, it's like a calling. A lot of them get paid to do it, but they would do it even if they weren't paid to.

@WorderFarmer You don't usually really feel it until the following morning! Good job! When in doubt always remember: the workout you is always better than the one you didn't do.

…I just feel, like… not tired enough? Not sore enough? I dunno. I feel good. Should I feel good? Maybe I’ll feel bad later. Guess we’ll see. Wish me luck!

First gym workout is in the books. Don’t know if I did anything right lol. But feel like I worked everything a little, at least, except abs and glutes/hammies. Had a little trouble with the crunch and leg press machines. Will keep working though! Mid-back is sore, but otherwise…

@BronWen727104 @Rob952046756664 How do prostitutes and sexually available women dress today?

@philvischer Then aren't you also picking and choosing who deserves justice? You're doing the same thing you're condemning others for.

... it's comforting to live in a land where violent protestors go free and Christian grandmothers get the boot.

I assume all you Romans 13 aficionados never, ever drive over the speed limit.

@WorderFarmer Amen to that.

Habits that help draw us closer to God are great, but there is absolutely nothing whatsoever that will get you to Heaven but placing your faith in Jesus Christ.

@WorldLimitRPG @GPaperArchitect So don't buy it. Don't pirate it. Don't play it at all. There's way too much "I won't pay $80 for this but I want to play it so I'll steal it instead." For me to believe this line

@GPaperArchitect Products should have prices that match the quality and service they provide. That is it, end of story. Problem is today we are seeing $60 games that play like $30 games. I can see why players don't want to pay $80 since they worry it will be $30 quality still. That is valid.

Hot take Why shouldn't game prices go up? Water, sewer, garbage, electric, mortgage, insurance, food...all went up and keep climbing. Do game devs live on air? I don't understand the animosity. Other luxury items have gone up. This seems like displaced nerd rage to me.

@The_Lord_Otter Maybe try Carrier Wave by Robert Brockway (@brockway_llc ) is my favorite cosmic sci-fi horror. Its not very Lovecraftian except that it also involves space and the things dwelling therein.

I love seeing all the dissent from this post, but a surprising lack of examples. For the love of Nyarlothotep, I demand examples. Reeee!

@gregdraws1 Too... effervescent.

My twitter stats show that my thoughts and observations are just too complex, too subtle for the masses

@Sn15enthusiast @thedrivenman @grok youtu.be/NdzOv1t8Ie4?si…

@Sn15enthusiast @thedrivenman @grok The original is Prayer by Madonna. This appears to be a choir version.

Average male fantasy

@TychoBrahe @RvLeshrac @Darthwickett I didn't say anything disingenuous or defend anyone's policy so I'm not sure what he's on about. I don't know enough about economics or trade to have an opinion about tariffs.

@RvLeshrac @Darthwickett @jaelblade Even a disingenuous clock is right twice a day. 🤷 I always gotta hear 'em out.

What in the fucking fuck

@Darthwickett @TychoBrahe I mean they could have 6 months of runway and just see no path forward so they decided to shutter now so they can give everyone 6 mo severance.

@Darthwickett @TychoBrahe Yeah maybe. Their announcement specifically says 'goods will still be produced as needed' but that might be more about back stock.

@TychoBrahe Sure, but doesn't that seem like it would stop you from producing existing products lines as well? Why would it affect new product development until those products are ready to go to production? Those seem incongruous to me.

@jaelblade The tariffs have changed several times over the last few weeks, some categories of goods have reached 245%.

@BroTeamPills Dig up Stan Lee and get him back to work!

Which one do you like?
