You just happened to stumble across the stupidest motherfucker alive. Probably alive. Those risky decisions don’t take themselves.

  • (a) Organizations and Conferences

    (1) Insist on doing everything through “channels.” Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.

    (2) Make “speeches.” Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your “points” by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences …

    (3) When possible, refer all matters to committees, for “further study and consideration.” Attempt to make the committees as large as possible—never less than five.

    (4) Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.

    (5) Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.

    (6) Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.

    (7) Advocate “caution.” Be “reasonable” and urge your fellow-conferees to be “reasonable” and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.

    (8) Be worried about the propriety of any decision—raise the question of whether such action as is contemplated lies within the jurisdiction of the group or whether it might conflict with the policy of some higher echelon.

    © Office Workers

    (1) Make mistakes in quantities of material when you are copying orders. Confuse similar names. Use wrong addresses.

    (2) Prolong correspondence with government bureaus.

    (3) Misfile essential documents.

    (4) In making carbon copies, make one too few, so that an extra copying job will have to be done.

    (5) Tell important callers the boss is busy or talking on another telephone.

    (6) Hold up mail until the next collection.

    (7) Spread disturbing rumors that sound like inside dope.

    (d) Employees

    (1) Work slowly. Think out ways to increase the number of movements necessary on your job …

    (2) Contrive as many interruptions to your work as you can …

    (3) Even if you understand the language, pretend not to understand instructions in a foreign tongue.

    (4) Pretend that instructions are hard to understand, and ask to have them repeated more than once. Or pretend that you are particularly anxious to do your work, and pester the foreman with unnecessary questions.

    (5) Do your work poorly and blame it on bad tools, machinery, or equipment. Complain that these things are preventing you from doing your job right.

    (6) Never pass on your skill and experience to a new or less skillful worker.

    (7) Snarl up administration in every possible way. Fill out forms illegibly so that they will have to be done over; make mistakes or omit requested information in forms.

    (8) If possible, join or help organize a group for presenting employee problems to the management. See that the procedures adopted are as inconvenient as possible for the management, involving the presence of a large number of employees at each presentation, entailing more than one meeting for each grievance, bringing up problems which are largely imaginary, and so on.

    (9) Misroute materials.

    (10) Mix good parts with unusable scrap and rejected parts.

    (12) General Devices for Lowering Morale and Creating Confusion

    (a) Give lengthy and incomprehensible explanations when questioned.

    © Act stupid.

    (d) Be as irritable and quarrelsome as possible without getting yourself into trouble.

    (e) Misunderstand all sorts of regulations concerning such matters as rationing, transportation, traffic regulations.

    (i) Cry and sob hysterically at every occasion …

    (k) Do not cooperate in salvage schemes.



  • imagine if by dumb luck, since the re-releases are so violently frequent, both games converge into a state where the mods are compatible with each other

    Or the games just straight up bleed into one another

    dear creator(s)

    please let the citizens of the USA win a crippling class action lawsuit against Amazon it would be so fucking funny

    I ask this in the name of whichever holy figure is the correct one

    amen/inshallah/namaste etc.

    (I’m an atheist, but I guess it can’t hurt to try)





  • What’s the general plan of action when a company’s base region shits the bed?

    Keep dormant mirrored resources in other regions?

    I presumed the draw of us-east-1 was its lower cost, so if any solutions involve spending slightly more money, I’m not surprised high profile companies put all their eggs in one basket.



  • Also, the alt texts vary in descriptiveness for that exact purpose. They’re meant to be useful for humans, not for training data.

    What would a blind person rather have as the alt text:

    (there are no photos here, for the blind people listening)

    1:

    A cute Alsatian puppy looking into the camera with a dog toy in its mouth

    2:

    A 14 week old black/brown dog sitting on a tiled floor with a synthetic-rubber cuboid-cylindrical-shaped, blue-green-gradient chew toy in its mouth with its eyes and nose poised at a 30° angle towards the photographer’s origin. Each tile on the floor is approximately 1.47m^2 and are a pearlescent shade of off-white. There is an unidentifiable black speck on the first tile in the top left quadrant of the image. The cameraman’s fat finger is covering 1.97% of the bottom right quadrant. Focal length is set to 100mm. Exposure settings appear to be increased. The dog’s genitals are not visible.


  • I’ve been on an AWS project for about a month now

    And, my god, there is so much to be infuriated by.

    My first revelation was that there is no payment killswitch. E.g. if I spend more than X dollars, stop all my services and don’t charge me anymore. Nope sorry can’t do that

    You can set “Budget alerts” but holy fuck, the emails do not arrive anywhere near reasonably on time

    $0.40 per secret stored, billed monthly. Imagine the keys for every lock in your apartment showing up as charges on your rent invoice.

    With every managed service, it feels like the setup menus are just a game of minesweeper, where if you don’t know any better, you might accidentally cost your organization $500 per hour and not know until the next day when the cost dashboard updates.

    Maybe it’s just because I’m new to it, but apparently, this kind of shit is rampant among most cloud providers.

    Biggest companies in the world still need to pickpocket their customers and that’s somehow okay
