I don’t want to “connect” with recruiters, I want them to find me a job (since that’s their job), and then I never want to hear from them until I start looking for a job again. If I wanted friends I wouldn’t be using a job board.

That’s not a firing offense, that guy has HR Director of Hiring written all over him!

So that’s why Windows Explorer has to be restarted every 30 minutes!

I give it about 6 months of this strategy before conservative men will be paid to pretend to be leftists in order to impregnate women, so I understand the “don’t fuck any man” strategy.

I had to reboot my Windows 10 desktop because the software I have to manage my wallpaper wasn’t working (and still isn’t), and had to unplug my second monitor during reboot otherwise the Steam overlay won’t work. After rebooting, I had a different software prompt me to update and the save file location window froze the browser for 3-4 minutes, while discord was freezing in the foreground. The taskbar disappeared until I restarted Explorer.exe, some telemetry process I had never heard of before was eating up 92-100% of the CPU and I had to go into the scheduler to disable it.

This is an average day with Windows nowadays. I didn’t even mention the myriad of perpetual issues I’ve been having.

Of course on my Linux laptop Chrome wouldn’t update automatically either through the browser or from the command line (and I have to use Chrome because Google Drive doesn’t work right on Firefox on Linux).

Well obviously it’s the Western powers that gave a bunch of displaced Jews land after WWII, despite no legitimate claim to the area, and then proceeded to keep meddling in Middle Eastern affairs so they could get cheap oil. And the biggest of those Western powers directly gives taxpayer money to war profiteers so there’s a direct financial incentive to keep the genocide going.

Those are the goodest guys.

The owner class wrote the rules and will never give up one iota of power. If we want positive change, meaningful progress, it won’t be from working within the system.

History only teaches one lesson and it teaches it very plainly: no progress is made without bloodshed. The blood of the worker class has already been spilled, millions of times over.

Bows can be roughly created from easily available materials, making it impossible to ban the ownership of.

“I fired hundreds of employees because a con artists sold me on this new technology, promote me.”

It would suck if working class Americans lost their retirement money due to Wall Street getting what they deserve. But what sucks more is that our retirement system is based on letting rich people gamble with your money in the first place!

Context specific definitions are the bane of my autistic existence. Figuring out context is a waste of brainpower that could be better used having anxiety over situations that aren’t going to happen.

/Completely serious, but not quite as strongly as worded here.

“Would you like to donate money to us that we pretty pretty promise will go to some vague charity while we reap the tax benefits? No? Are you sure? Fine, we’ll just ask you next time (regardless of your answer this time).”

First wish, a lawyer who specializes in genie law. Unfortunately, the lawyer draws up a contract that screws you out of most of your wishes, not because of the genie’s influence, but because they’re a lawyer.

When I was being raised as a young earth creationist, the earth was supposedly 12,000-20,000 years old. Then it was 10,000 years old. Then only 6,000. After I outgrew that nonsense, I joked that in a few decades YECs would say that their god created the earth in 1980, and anyone older than 40 are agents of the devil sent to test your faith.

• Return your shopping cart to the corral when you’re done with it.
• Use your signal when turning or changing lanes.
• All passive income is taxed at 100,000%.

It’s only malware if wealthy companies aren’t making money off of it.

It may be too late on this front, but don’t say AI when there isn’t any I to it.

Of course it could be successfully argued that humans (or at least a large amount of them) are also missing the I, and are just spitting out the words that are expected of them based on the words that have been ingrained in them.

I wish you would! The closest one to me is just under 1,000 miles away.

And now Safeway!

But don’t worry, there’s still Walmart as an option.

Can’t eat bread or drink alcohol, because that’d be making yeast our slaves!
