Agreed. I think that this may be a galvanizing force that would otherwise would have been absent though. I think this will cause a lot of new friendships to be forged and bring about a unity that would otherwise never have been possible. Hell of a cost though, hell of a cost.

I want to post my thoughts, but at this point, I feel like the country has gone so far off the rails that I need to keep an eye on my op-sec. Suffice it to say that I’m devastated, exhausted, but filled with a new resolve. This post (a bit of a long read) has been helping me refocus and move forward: https://wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-things-to-do-if-trump-wins/

He didn’t even want to buy it, right? It started losing value and he tried to bail but was under contract.

That’s true, we tried. Thank you.

Sorry. I feel ashamed to be here.

I was at that talk. I’ve never been inspired by an in person speaker like that. Makes one want to unionize.

I’m shocked, shocked, I tell you!

-Nobody

It disappoints me that the level of regulatory capture prevents these companies from being held to account.

I’ve got one of those laptop chips and I feel exactly the same. I’m going to be watching my temps very closely. My trust is absolutely gone

1 year in and this job still seems just as cryptic and difficult. Very little documentation about the systems here and the imposter syndrome is feeling more like a reality than a pathology.

I’m about to look into different work.

Touché

Biggest difference in my eyes is that with a layoff you at least get to choose who leaves but in this case you only lose the best and most qualified.

Nice work Dell.

Porque no los dos?

You’re right. ITT I complained about lost nuance LOL.

I found on the internet it helps to be explicit because nuance is difficult for some.

What an interesting thing to say. Why would you think that I’m not?

Yeah. It’s pretty rad. I’ve been playing with it all day.

If I set my watch and airplane mode it also immediately locks the phone, but it also does that when it goes out of range. It looks like the app should work with any Bluetooth device so any wearable should work just fine or even earphones if you really wanted.

100% I hate the fact that we’re funneling money I’m anti-war but the alternative is definitely much worse. If we don’t support Ukraine, Russia gains power and a free pass to invade whoever the hell they want. If we don’t support Israel we leave a power vacuum and The power influence of the US gets replaced by either Russia or China. No good options anyehere.

Obviously, supporting Israel is also supporting genocide. It’s a classic catch-22.

I’m so glad I’m not the president! He gets to choose between eating a shit sandwich, and eating shit gumbo.

At least Ukraine has a pretty righteous cause. So there’s that…

I’m not sure I understand your point. Are you trying to say that it being pro-war is a necessary evil? Are you assuming that the world would be less better off without powerful and breathtakingly enriched entities that thrive on war?

I’m not saying I have all the answers but I don’t think I have to have all the answers to be against war or to be against the military industrial complex. Maybe that’s just me. 😁

It makes me sad that they’re having to conscript the youth of Ukraine. What if it was my kid? What if it was me?

I hope they can end this fast!

What I’m saying is even the victors suffer the loss of many deaths thus the only winners are the military industrial complex supplying the arms and becoming enriched. Does that make more sense?

Слава Україні!
