"Like, I'm not saying that this is a good thing, but it's kind of bleakly entertaining how over the course of my life my skill set as an online researcher has gone from being:
  • 1. Hugely valuable in the late 1990s and early 2000s because the discoverability of information in public-facing databases was fucking terrible and nobody knew how to organise anything; to
  • 2. Effectively useless throughout the 2010s because search engines enormously and rapidly improved and computer literacy was at an all-time high; and 
  • 3. Back to being hugely valuable once again because SEO bullshit and the proliferation of AI-generated content have degraded online discoverability back to pre-2000 levels and computer literacy is in accelerating decline due to mobile devices deliberately obfuscating basic functionality so that app vendors can sell it back to you with embedded advertising.

A cool thing about cyberpunk coming true is we got ALL the cyberpunk futures:
  • * China: universal surveillance and social control
  • * America: cool gadgets and wretched inequality
  • * Russia: shadowy plots, covert ops, assassinations
  • * Japan: Japan

Alexandria "problem", "solution", "results"

why do we bother with I hate my partner jokes when your boss is right there.  s/(wife|husband|spouse)/boss/gi;

Me: I feel fat, can you give me a compliment?
Boss: Can you stay late tonight?

- If you were my [employee] I'd poison your coffee.
- If you were my [boss], I'd drink it.

Arguing with a [Boss] is like reading the software licence agreement; in the end, you'll get in trouble anyways so you just skip to the end and say "I agree."

- Where's your [boss]?
- In the garden.
- I don't see him.
- You have to dig a little.

Want to know what it's like being [employed]?  chain yourself to a bear then kick the bear.
