[after playing out all possible outcomes for Global Thermonuclear War]

Joshua: Greetings, Professor Falken. Stephen Falken: Hello, Joshua. Joshua: A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

My experience is different. I have a pixel 8 for work and pixel 5 for personal. The physical fingerprint reader on the pixel 5 constantly works. The pixel 8, fails way too often.

Paprika. Hand’s down.

My stance is that insurance companies are for profit. Period.

In my mind, this negates all arguments for or against anything related to insurance.

Insurance is a racket.

Well, I think you should be arrested and jailed.

Just because we haven’t caught you, you must be a thief.

That’s how your argument sounds to me.

“Responsible media” left the tent a long time ago.

Yep, it needs to change. From Wikipedia

FTFY

I’m sorry you got stuck with that. I too worked evenings and weekens. But I left. They ended up hiring three people to replace me.

I took a risk and exited IT. I now manage technical teams and projects in the dental industry.

I understand the usefulness of good video content, I was simply responding to the fact that this IT guy chooses to read rather than watch.

And your rant highlights a very common theme in corporations today. And not everyone has the freedom or the option to slide out from under it.

As for boomers, fuck 'em. I don’t look down on the younger generations. I see smart young people trying wade through the crap us boomers left behind. And trying to navigate a shitty corporate world.

I hope opportunity knocks for you.

25 years in IT and I didnt need youtube.

BUT, I prefer learning by reading, not videos.

Yes, ffs

What are you using as a firewall?

“We could call the cops, Richard, but you know where we’d be spending our weekend. In some… goddamned hot police station answering questions we don’t know the answers to.”

Good or bad, it’s still processed food.

That’s my half-assed neutral statement. I choose not to eat processed foods. As long as there’s disclosure, I don’t care.

What people eat or don’t eat is their business.

It’s probably a spectrum. You’re at one end, replying to someone at the other end.

My experience, though limited, are teachers who genuinely wanted to help people with self defense.

Note: am Canadian who’s glass is half full…

"President Joe Biden elevated Amazon critic and anti-monopoly advocate Lina Khan to chair the Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday, hours after the Senate confirmed her by a 69-28 vote.

She was sworn in just as quickly, the FTC said that evening."

Huge win for progressives as Lina Khan takes helm at FTC

Imagine you’re on a train of trolleys, and every time it comes to a point where a direction could be chosen, every car votes and consistently the ones at the back are out voted by the other cars. You can’t get off and buy another ticket. But you might be able to detach the cars.

So, you’re describing the 47% who do not want to partition?

“rrred-dit”… that sounds familiar… 🤔
