That's not an insult it's a curse

Insult:

Your elevator doesn't quite go all the way up.

You have all the creativity and emotional intelligence of a manager

[–] [email protected] 33 points 8 months ago (2 children)

One that I like that is also a curse rather than an insult is "I hope the rest of your day is as pleasant as you are"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

May your children grow up to be like the politicians you voted for.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

No! Don't inflict them on the rest of us!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

This is both

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

You fight like a dairy farmer.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

How appropriate, you fight like a cow.

(because someone had to)

I don't get what that's supposed to mean... Wouldn't dairy farmers tend to be more jacked than average?

If that happened it'd be the year of the linux desktop.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago (3 children)

It is the year of the Linux desktop

[–] [email protected] 33 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's the two certainties of life:

  1. Death
  2. Taxes
  3. It is the year of the Linux desktop
  4. Half Life 3 is just around the corner
  5. I'm terrible at maths
[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Certain taxes sounds like a skill issue

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

...and so are the next thirteen.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is this a joke about the 2038 problem?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

I'm not smart enough to come up with that, but thank you for giving me the credit!

Refer to someone you've never met by their name if you can. This usually works best in a school or work setting. And when they ask how you know their name just simply reply:

"Everyone knows who you are." And walk away.

the post is asking about insults. it's not really an insult either but it'll certainly make people feel worse...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, you have to make a disgusted facial expression as you say it.

Like, "Ugh, this motherfucker. He's even worse in person."

You look like someone who eats hot dogs the long way

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure it's about inserting hot dog shaped object in to the end of the digestive tract opposite the mouth.

This happened to me. I was really really into AI when nobody even knew what it meant if not for hal, skynet and matrix, and now everybody talks of llms like they even know what the f they are.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Nah, nobody talks about LLMs. If I approached an average, everyday person about this topic, 99% of them wouldn't know shit about it, while the tech-nerds all would.

It's not mainstream at alllll yet. I introduced a pair of people I game with to openai/gpt3.5 like...a week ago and they were absolutely beside themselves using it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (3 children)

What I mean is that "back in my day" there were maybe 10 people in the world seriously investigating strong AI

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I know some people doing old-school logic-based AI research. They're happy because there's more AI funding in general, and they can present themselves as "what neural networks are missing" or "the next big thing". Or they come up with projects involving hybrid systems.

That's unlikely. What's more likely is that you were not yet exposed to AI research and did not read through the academic reviews and articles of the time. AI is a serious topic in science and engineering since more than half a century.

Cycling? Great, increased funding for infrastructure and increased general awareness. Amateur radio? Lower prices for rigs, innovation, and more contacts to be made.

If your interest in a hobby is based on its exclusivity, it may be that you're more interested in exclusivity than in the hobby itself...

[–] [email protected] 36 points 8 months ago

I think they were more likely referring to how when the public eye is on something many companies will start churning out low-effort products to capitalise on the interest. The market would be flooded with cheap and inferior products in that niche, potentially threatening the smaller business that actually cared about making quality products for those hobbyists. I know this won't apply to every hobby, but there are definitely a number of them that will.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It's not that some hobbies are based on exclusivity or even some other hipster rationalization, but there definitely is a period where a shit load of new people come in, read half a wiki page, then proceed to argue and talk down to people who have been at it for years. It ruins communities if the audience widens too much at once. I've been online long enough to have seen it happen multiple times.

I would love for my hobbies to be more mainstream. More merch, more people to share the experience with, and presumably more content

[–] [email protected] 32 points 8 months ago (2 children)

This works up to a certain size, then you start having to contend with more shameless money grabs, scalpers catching wind of things and making it impossible for actual fans/users of the product to get stuff for a reasonable price and more scammers.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

And the opposite end of that is the corporatization of your previously small cozy wholesome authentic cottage industry sized hobby. It happened to videogames in the late 2010s.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Its also implying that the hobby will eventually burn our or become cringe in the eyes of the public. As most fads do.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Thrifting used to be fun Now everyone thinks they're a flipper and goodwill and other places have jacked up their prices to unreasonable levels.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Not to mention the fact that it's (sort-of) taking materials that were attempted to be destined for the less fortunate

Fr 10 years ago I was cool, but I kept doing the same things and now I'm just basic lol. Even the undercut became a popular hairstyle.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

The thing is that the mainstream aspect will burn out, like most fads do, but the people who really love it will keep loving it, and some (usually small) amount of the new influx will also stick around permanently and enrich the community. It's just about surviving through the fad part that is hard.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

linux? lets hope so!!! 2024 year of the linux desktop!!!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, homebrewing becoming a mainstream hobby would be pretty great, I'm always interested in trying a beer someone else brewed and it would probably make sourcing ingredients a lot easier if there was enough of a demand to necessitate a local shop in my area.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

maybe start a local group with the goal of opening the local shop yourself?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

All the sharp wit of a perfect sphere.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Based on your looks I expected you to be smarter.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Its nice that you tried

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

I was just hoping you'd do better this time..

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Wow, you have such a beautiful mind

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Insult? That's a straight up curse.
