I guess. I mean IDK LOL.

yeah its hard to say if he should be removed as they started the video when it was already active so there is no way to see if he was aggressive to a level to having to be removed and if he was given any warnings or anything.

I just saw the video and its like. Why is he getting involved? There are like 2 police on him that while he is getting a bit out of control have really not lost control and third one is coming up. There is no reason for a civilian to help in this situation.

I mean the current administration rode on a wave of conspiracy types os im not sure the conspiracies have been vindicated. Sorta feels the opposite in some ways. It was like there was integrity and limits then it was like well they at least wanted to appear to have integrity and now we are at nothing matters so why even pretend.

Im going to go out on a limb and assume you are from the us. us healthcare is nuts. Here is the funny thing. My wife has thyroid issues. Her bloodtests shows it within normal but on the low end. Doctor refuses to raise her cheap thyroid medicine and instead insists on a gpl. Even though she has other symptoms for low thyroid. insurance we had did pay for it. it makes no fucking sense. at times we can’t get stuff we need and at others we are given options we don’t want. A similar thing is there is this pretty cheap procedure called prp where they draw blood and centrifuge it down and dake the serum and inject it in a joint and it seems to relieve pain and does so for awhile. Like she could just get it once a year. They would not cover that but they did at one time. It kinda was based around what medicare was doing. They will pay for surgery that from our experinece may or may not make it better and may make it worse (we have more experience with surgery than anyone would want to have). That surgery is so expensive that if you were to stick the cost into a savings account it would easily make interest enough to do the prp. So even economics wise the insurance company should do the prp. Why don’t they. Because its like a game of chicken. people may get surgery but it does not always go well so many people will not get it. Also prp is done in the doctors office and does not require anything. They will pay for things from drug companies injected into the joint. We have just the worst system. Also you know why your insurance covers some things but not others? Some high muckity muck at your company want something. We had one that did unlimited chiro. Im like 100% the president or one of his family must get chiro adjustments every week or something. Either that or someone between the president and the hr level that decides on what insurance to use.

So I think a lot of things that are more important to security is perfectly doable in linux. I think there might be distros that don’t have a firewall on by default but I don’t think its common. If you go with most any recommended distros people throw out it will. Linux and other unixes had this available and default way before windows did. Honestly the only thing linux kinda lacks is antivirus although thats not completely so. I will say that outside of windows integrated antivirus I stopped using them in windows. Running a secure browser and being careful about what you download and run in windows is a much bigger thing for security. Again linux had sudo type things (the admin privleges window pops up with) than windows did. Which is a much bigger security thing. To top it all off you can get most software for linux through repos which are curated and safer way to get software. It can be tempting to download a piece of software not available but if you can add a credible repo its not a bad idea to do it that way. I mean linux and other unixes are just engineered in a better more secure manner. Coming from windows and worrying about linux security is like coming from a really cirme ridden neighborhood and moving a nice low crime area but your afraid its going to have more crime later.

Tech certainly is in a wierd spot. It certainly had lost its sheen much before that but luckily I actually like solving problems and helping people. What was frustrating when I was still working was it kinda felt like any time you were good at something you were pulled out. I literally had to refer people to my boss if they pinged me for them to authorize time with me or someone else from the team. When we had something working they often wanted us working on something else and leave the first thing to other folks. Thing is that means it lacks a lot of polish. Its like a really good poc. And again don’t get me wrong I love doing poc’s and quickly getting things going and would love to push off and go on to another thing before it gets tedius but usually its not being pushed to a team to finish it off instead its just. well. good enough and we don’t want to spend more on this solution. anyway I have been unemployed for over a year so I would appreciated just being able to sink my teeth into something complex.

if we don’t find that time handcuff then bdsm will never be invented!

Its possible that it could be good in theory but I have never encountered it being done well in practice. Just so you know though, and maybe its just my area, but I thought public schools were required to make available various things from school like sports and clubs to homeschoolers so they need not be socially isolated when homeschooling.

I would say that most are not but I think this one pushed it to 51% sooooooo

I mean im mostly looking in IT, so competency tests are not untward and usually if I go the distance at least 3 interviews, but it does feel often like they just don’t want to commit. I can say that winter of 24/25 were everything seemed to stall when I did recived replies it was often they are not moving forward whereas I identify stuff moving somewhere after spring 25 because I would get some that they went with someone else. I think this where I really got screwed. Being let go a month and a half before the election is what pushed me to over a year not working and now its a black eye along with my age. That being said the whole field seems to have gotten wierd with ai and purple squirrel type of thing. It reminded me a bit of around 2000 where adverts are asking for a set of requirements that are or virtually are impossible to fullfill. Again I feel its gotten a bit better but kinda anemic. Like they realize they need people but just don’t want to commit funds and are super easy to pull back. So I can say that before companies I worked at were pretty much identifying their budget for the fiscal year and committing to it before the year started. I feel now they are not deciding their budget till the first month of the fiscal year and are now very tentative about everything they do.

I mean pigs and dogs are not that far off.

I hate cars. My wife loves them. Now I sometimes talk about my wifes medical issues and im generally talking about about her physical ones. Now I know you say most people but like it would not be impossible for her to ride public transit. Heck people in wheelchairs do it. But its a pain and additionally when she was healthier she could just not mentally handle it. If im with her she can but still does not like it. To use bike lanes they have to be completely protected and separated from the street (again she would also have to be back when she was in better health). She would walk but again with me. She needed that support. She did not need that support when driving. The car for her is safety and feedom. Its funny as its kinda opposite to me. A car means possibly being broken down at the side of the road with no way to get home whereas a transit pass makes me feel safe. When I drive I am engaging in an activity that is very disproportionally large in possibly injuring or killing someone compared to absolutely everything else I do. Now if society was filled with people like me the suburbs would disapear and we could hav a lot less cars, but for folks like my wife. So let me put it this way. I actually just got up and talked with her to really place her here. I honestly though she would choose having a car over indoor plumbing. But she draws the line at indoor plumbing. So she would exchange the internet, electricity, phones, tv, raido. She would rather live in a world with indoor plumbing and gas light/heat with a car. Than live with all our conveniences without a car. I will tell you to. She is waaaayyy moderated on this stuff having lived with me. So like I think if she was in great health and there was fantastic bike infrastructure and we could live in a safe dense urban area. I think she would go for it. But it would have to be so perfect relative to me as to be impossible for it to come to be.

Im not an expert in my field. Im pretty typical for someone who is decent in the field. IT books is crowded as heck as are youtube channels. I do not get how anyone can feel this is a reasonable thing for a typical person to do. This very much is like just start auditioning for roles until you are a star. A year from now I could be making real money or still be unemployed where I might not have been because I had located a job. Its kinda funny because I laugh at everyone chasing this creator thing. For every successful time your strategy works for someone there are tons of folks putting massive time into channels that are in the red month over month.

sorry also to clarify I don not thing one of your eyes is worse (which when I reread sourta sounds like it) but that the picture that is kinda one huge eye is like. aaaahhhhhhhh! save me from the demon eye.

I mean im not waiting around but im aweful at music, art, and sports. My prediclections are in the direction of my initialy choice of career which was scientific research. I am a better thinker than doer and I moved to IT as it was the only thing paying. I picked up an education degree but just got denied for a program to get certified late in life. Everything you listed goes right into things I am horrible with. This is what I mean again that everyone can’t do X. That being said I am actively trying to figure out something that will work for me and am not exclusively just hitting my head against the linkedin/resume wall but its tough as hell at my age. I don’t have people to lean on. People should be leaning on me (well my wife does). I have changed careers before but I was able to live at my brothers place at the time. I have gotten more education but there were opportunities I could take advantage of. Im not someone sitting around waiting for a job to fall into my lap.

AH! I was not ready for pictures of eyeballs looking at me. No dig on you and your eyes look fine but im wondering if anyone else gets a little creeped out by pictures of just eyes and I think maybe one eye is worse.

I get asked about registration all the time and Im way older. I think that is the span you have to register in.

You can literally say this about everything. There are examples of undeducated people becoming superstars. Also if you look you will see many people from other countries who own businesses are not undeducated and many came with a nice chunk of money they started the business with. You have to make calls. Every hour trying to get a business off the ground is time your not looking for work. You call yourself dumb but its possible. Just possible. You have a knack for it but did not realize until you did it. You know most people in my age and my field went into management but I did not. Why. Because of my natural ability and inclinations or lack there of. Although also partially because the generation before held on far to long and by the time it came my way I pointed to the next generation who have the time to make a career out of it. Look im one of those people who think people know things the same as they but ironically I had to learn that is not the case and it just so happens one of my inclinations is education where that has good feedback to work against that particular inclination I have. Think about this. Can 100% of the total population run a business. Would a society work out that way. I would say no. My initial reply was basically. You can’t just tell someone to go start a business or go learn to code or do whatever thing someone thinks anyone can just go do.

even with the ukraine stuff or specifically by a submarine?
