CEO asked me to immediately add their vibe coded features to prod this morning. It broke major functionality for thousands of users. Then they asked me why I broke the code.

When I think about July 4th, it usually puts me in a bad mood. Not because of the history, because as a homeowner in suburban America, nobody in my house is going to be able to sleep until 2am tomorrow.
BUUUUT today, my thoughts are on all the world cup tourists who have been led to believe that America is amazing and friendly, only to find that we will be in a full blown artillery war all night long. Looking forward to their PTSD posts tomorrow morning 🙃

Leo dedicated the month to the sacred heart of Jesus, and I haven't seen any sodomy propaganda at all this month. And anyways, weak men need affirmation. Strong men do what is needed regardless of whether or not they will get recognition for it. Father's day is a bit of an embarrassment honestly.

Your presupposition is that the framing requires working for the "productivity machine". This is a strawman.

I have a video game idea where you play as the government/corrupt company and you goal is to entrap as many people under your control as possible. There will be a propaganda upgrade that gets marketing behind smart tech appliances that make your targets life convenient while pumping narratives that non convenient options are bad. The ones that pop up and try to disuade the public because of built in surveilance tech can be dealt with directly at the cost of public trust, or subversively through slandering, blackmailing, etc.
We will call in "Public Relations".

Important to note that it's a good idea to NOT consolidate them into one giant UTXO for privacy and security reasons. Bitcoin Layer 1 is a transparency chain and broadcasts your wallet amount to the world. Purchasing something for 1mil sats using a UTXO containing 5 bitcoin will show up on the blockchain as the entire size of that UTXO, the payment AND the remaining balance. In a perfect world, you would create UTXO's for the exact size you'll need them later, however this is practically impossible. Creating smaller ones of say 1mil each provides some protection even though the fees would be higher then having a single UTXO. Real world danger, in the situation of a malicious partner, if they look at the blockchain to verify the transaction and see you have a remainder of 4 btc, you could be in big trouble..

Yeah, i think you misunderstood my intentions. The atheist isnt bad for having an opposing world view. A christian isnt good out of pure virtue of the title. Now, I would argue that holding to the truth claim that "God doesnt exist" is intellectually dishonest, and hard to defend, but that doesnt directly coorelate with less than moral character. Regarding modern tech answering questions, what exactly are you referring to?

2026-02-03 14:40:30 UTC

- reply

It would be sad for me to take offense toward a belief system someone else holds that isn't exactly like mine, so no, I understand that given the same circumstances, life, education, I'd come to similar conclusions probably. I believe the same could be said had you experienced my life.
The 'fight' wasn't meant to be againt Christianity, but the conscience fighting with God. Your article seems to indicate that I was at least right about your upbringing and the reason you left, not sure why you argued against your experience. The problem is that pain and the "logical incoherence" of Christianity led you away from attempting to find an answer in the pain, and instead led you to believe that because "I can't hear God on my terms, and He refuses to come down to my level to reason with me, thus He is inpersonal and unworthy to worship as described by the church." Quite the jump to go from christianity to pantheism, but understandable if pain is the determining factor and self proclaimed fork you've decided on.
While I too am terminal, I might or might not have more time than you, I've come to radically different conclusions. Not because I'm more intelligent, but because I know my failings. Jesus met me at the place where I thought I could sink no lower and be no more foolish, not in my pride and anger. At least you logically understand the impossibility of atheism. I was the self proclaimed militant atheist idiot who tried bringing those within the faith out. I've noticed in my own life that what CS Lewis said to be true, that "God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains."
So anyways, try me if your willing. I too enjoy healthy debates.
