Terrible situation. I had a temp come work for me that had fled from Ukraine. I judged the situation at first, but I considered what I would do in his situation. I’d like to think I’d stay and fight, but we only get one life. My guy was just trying to to survive.

Myth busters had to be the worst offender in that realm. “here a 2 minute recap of that things you just saw 5 minutes ago.”

That’s something, lol. I’m not irreplaceable but it would be an absolute clusterfuck if I left, at least for a while.

I do a good job of documenting everything but so much of my work relies on scripts that I wrote and never properly deployed - a mix of python and VBA, and all my reporting relies on an API connection that nobody else maintains and other than a handful of queries I shared, nobody really knows how to use it.

I’m not trying to be shitty but it’s job security.

Fuck yeah, I’m blasting some knee caps on the way out. Murder would be a mercy at that point.

Ultimately they’ve pissed off both sides with how they handled pride this year and last year.

Damn BC is gorgeous I didn’t realize where you were. I’m used to seeing trail maps like that in Illinois US and it’s just a dirt path through some trees and around a man made lake. I gotta drive about 3 hours to get to anywhere with interesting geography - mostly glacial lakes and valleys in the Midwest.

I grew up in Colorado I miss the Rockies, they’re truly magical.

But yeah rock climbers love giving crags and routes stupid pun names, it’s charming.

Ohhhh it’s like a climbing park. Climbers are a different breed lol.

For sure, some of the worst by some accounts. I’m not that familiar with the lower west side, but even by me wayyyy up north there are certain neighborhoods where if everyone got together in one place there’s almost a guarantee for violence.

Which I guess is my point, if that neighborhood has a lot of issues with gang violence the event planners should have been proactive and secured different spot. If they didn’t see it coming or the police got wind of something the day of, not much anyone can really do.

I get the sentiment, but it’s Chicago my guy it’s pretty diverse here. If cops start shutting everything down because brown people exist nothing would get done here 😂

Not knowing anything about it (disclosure) I’m assuming this is like a fan fiction if conservatives got their way?

Well thanks for your candor, I’ve never put alt text on my posts but I will moving forward. 👍

In case the joke is lost on your screen reader, not patronizing, the joke is a play on words: In. Tents. Versus intense.

Not as intense as fucking in tents.

Think about it longer term… All the people struggling at the bottom now have secure housing. More money is free for nutrition, hygiene, they can get better jobs or afford schooling… Trades or higher education. More people have a chance to escape poverty and contribute production, get more money to spend, more money gets out into local economies. So and so forth. It’s a good idea.

It’s always a shit show. I drove to S Illinois in 2017. 6 hour drive in, 17 hour drive home I hated it. But worth it.

Oh no.

I’m sincerely appreciative of everything they do for consumers as a whole. Not everything makes it across the pond but at the very least it sets precedent and a lot of the groundwork is done if our politicians ever decide to get their shit together and give us a ground to stand on against corporations and lobbyists.

A guy can dream.

I’m 37 and can barely read cursive, I hate it. I learned it in primary school, never used it, and here I am.

I play DnD and one of our campaigns got so confusing so our DM made a huuuuge flow chart explaining the story, consequences of our actions, where we can go next, etc. It’s all in fucking cursive and I couldn’t read any of it so I continue to be confused :)

Surprised pikachu

I mean… kinda lol.
