That’s awesome, I love hearing stories like this. I was lucky to have access to a PC since I was about 8 years old and computer literacy is probably the most useful skill I have. Nothing teaches PC literacy better than pirating software with complex readmes lol or having to fix the family computer because you infected it with a virus. Had me stressing, looking at the task manager and searching for the origins of every .exe to find the culprit

I probably wouldn’t let my son install a GPU until he’s a bit older just because of the cost lol but it is simple enough for a teenager to do, I think.

The real take is to get kids into PC gaming from a young age. Kids are super patient with each other and now my kid is doing things like installing mods for games that he plays. It’s also massively improved his reading which is mostly how I learned English myself.

At a certain point, money is not about wealth or what you can buy with it but rather about power. And in life’s twists, those who amass a decent amount of wealth and power come to believe they are “chosen” because of how society treats them. The poors worship the rich. if we were living in a sane society, these amounts of wealth would be looked at disgustingly by society. Shit is beyond fucked and I don’t think anything can unfuck modern society.

if these people were any kind of Christian they would be worried about the end of their mortal lives. Instead they are speedrunning everything Christ taught us NOT to be.

Is it though? Just kidding of course I know it is. You measure ass to tip right? Right.

What are you doing for the cause lol I love how it’s so easy to talk big on the Internet. Are you burning down courthouses and shooting cops?

Have you noticed that the courts are ruling against Trump’s fascist policies? Do you know what will happen if Trump continues to disobey lawful orders? It becomes lawful to disobey those orders.

I know it’s fun to be a doomerist online but we’re not at boiling point yet. It’s getting hot and people are growing more sympathetic towards minorities and understanding that if there is no due process then anyone can be targeted, journalist, opponents, etc. until that happens at large most people are unbothered.

Captains cap

Used to work at a restaurant similar to Long John silver and quite literally yes, 90% of people that attended were very elderly. Fish restaurants seem to exclusively cater to old people. I personally don’t like any fish

While this sounds nice police largely have no fear of consequence because qualified immunity and even threatening to do harm against a cop carries big consequences. The truth is that lawmakers need to step up and make it clear what they’re doing is illegal, that way refusing an unlawful command or protecting yourself can be easily defended in court. Shooting a cop is only going to add fuel to the fire.

Lmao same here buddy.

I hate to laugh at the suffering of others but this quote threw me… “Do I feel like I made a mistake? Possibly. Ask me again when I’m not so emotional,” she added.

Baruth said her post wasn’t a plea for sympathy but a call for awareness.

I can’t believe how her brain is working overtime so she doesn’t have to hold herself accountable for this lol. What a trait to have. Would probably vote for him again

I’ve done much worse for a dollar. The industry feels shit because of stupid AI hype coupled with tight budgets. It’ll pass. Though if I could do something else for a similar amount of money I probably would

Well, I can kind of relate. I’m 10 years into network engineering and about 2-3 years into SDN/data center automation. It used to be exciting at first but now it’s gotten kind of boring.

Don’t underestimate the power of your half ass, your half ass is probably many people’s whole ass.

Your work can be fulfilling and it’s exciting when it is but it’ll never satisfy your need for human connection. I’m in a role where I’m compensated adequately but I’m very unfulfilled. It’s not toxic but I’m very disconnected. I’m trying to upskill at the moment and get my CCNP DEVCOR so I can look for a more cushy role with probably less pay

Sounds like you’re burned out then … How long in your role?

Just need a tight deadline or a bad performance review to fix that right up

It’s probably still a lot more uncommon than being uncircumcised because “well I guess it should look like mine or most of the others”

I mean it’s very common for fat men to be nicknamed “gordo” ie fatty. Of course it’s ignorant but definitely not meant offensively.

I grew up with those words being common and I hope they don’t come back in any form. They’re very damaging even to straight males. But I’m sure as long as there’s a counter culture they won’t go away.

Case in point, I’ve been getting really into Latin dance, taking group classes, taking private classes, etc. the people that I see dance that look amazing are having a lot of fun with the dance and the music, the body movements, everything. When I try to move a certain way with my hips there’s this fucking voice in my head that’s snickering saying “gay” and if I can get out of my own fucking head and just feel the music, feel myself and connect with who I’m dancing with I have a great time and I get a lot of compliments. I hate that even when I know it’s wrong and even completely illogical the fear of being perceived as feminine or weak is something that I have to struggle with on a personal level.
