I’ve had controversial opinions about judges, cops, prosecutors, and etc, who are involved in particular egregious violations of their duties, do not deserve due process. They’ve clearly demonstrated they don’t believe the system has value.

They tried to give him a government iPhone and he refused. He kept using his insecure device instead.
Good bois and girls.
I was semi recently explaining to someone that monitors are basically small TV’s, with more variety in sizes, form factors, and refresh rates.
So that we feel vindicated in actually owning your productive time. So that management can show they add value by watching you work.
I’m constantly preaching that “we don’t work in a widget factory, there is only the work there is to do, and if it’s all done, wtf are you complaining about? Asses in seats does not correlate to work completed. As long as we’re available to complete tasks, you’re getting what you’re paying for.”
My management prizes my ability to write complex things ina professional and easily digestible manner. However part of that process might look like I’m doing nothing at all, while I’ve got a half a draft written and I’m just sitting there for an hour and a half doing sudoku puzzles while what I’ve written vs what I need to say percolates in my brain. And yet I have to be cautious about it because some of them are convinced we work in a widget factory, where ass in seat and hands on keyboard equals work produced.
Right? Shocker, I’m able to listen to a thing actively and vocally contribute while doing something mindless like doing/folding laundry or making food because they use different parts of my brain.
The meat mech is capable of doing something physical with no thought, while engaging language processing for something else.
The human car wash method
It’s pretty much a ritual of mine to be and stay hammered most of my travel day.
Chug most of a half pint of liquor in the parking garage, double of Johnnie Walker Black for pretty much every hour I’m in the airport, order some mini bottles (or carry on my own) on the plane, sleep until my destination, and then do whatever it is I’m doing that day.
But then, I handle my alcohol extremely well (and have the red hair gene that makes you less susceptible to its effect and process it more quickly). So I don’t really get in trouble.
Nah, sorry, different person than you were initially responding to. I was out to breakfast and just wrote that quickly on my phone.
It was pinched for about 3-4 weeks before my physical therapist finally realized what I’d told him at the start - that my calf was literally paralyzed. He was like, “Oh… that’s, that’s not good. You need to go to the spine doctor like, immediately.” (Dude sucked, but it was the very beginning of COVID so my options were limited.)
Got me in to see the spine doc the next day and I got emergency cortisone injections by the end of the week.
I got usage of my calf back, and significant reduction in pain. But I never got back the full amount of feeling in the right two toes of my right foot, that side of that foot, and stretching up to about mid shin height on the same side. I have pressure sensitivity still. And even touch, kinda. It’s like when a limb is asleep. But fuck it I’ll take that over the feeling of daggers and lava I had before.
At least for me, even though I’ve recovered full movement and only have minor to moderate pain after activities which stress the area - the pinched nerve was damaged for long enough that I will have surface numbness on parts of my leg for the rest of my life.
It’s often said that Democrats today are Republicans of the 90’s/00’s, and this is further proof of that on top of the reasons you mentioned.
A box fan can be acquired for like $15
Meat bad, Cartels Okay
Pull absolutely all support and funding, permanent ban on weapons transfers, deactivate their F35s. International financial sanctions.
The United States went so hard on being anti-communist that we became anti community.
As long as the demand exists in the market, the niche will be filled. There’s simply too much money to be made.
As a related example:
Mexico has a cartel problem not because their government is weak, but because the scale of the American drug market means every cartel has an annual income that dwarfs any conceivable taxation revenue. Which means they’re better armed, better staffed, better equipped, and overall a more formidable threat than can be dealt with.
Even fully legalizing drugs in the US might not undercut the cartels at this point because their operations have extended so far into legitimate forms of income at this point. Cartels are an agricultural powerhouse, and are responsibility for the vast majority of avocado production for example.
Bro just use your phone. If it’s android, use AIReader. Free, incredibly configurable, can read every type of book file. Dark mode, adjustable brightness for reading before bed. It gets so dark that I can’t even read the minimum setting in a pitch black room. Best e-reader app I’ve ever found and I’ve been using it for probably 10 years now.
Lmao this one got me
