We’ve investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong!

Inattentive is such a PITA. I’ve had a very, VERY successful career and can’t help but think it’s been all while doing life on hard mode.

It’s not hacking. Most languages have the ability to send mail from any mail address. Poweshell example -

Send-MailMessage -from [email protected] -to [email protected] -subject "fuck you" -body "no really fuck you"

I apologize for answering your question a question it is not a cop out I will tell you I don’t have an answer and will argue no one else does.

Do you know what Russians need to do to get out from under the yolk of Putin? This is what is happening in America. Do you see Russia changing any time soon?

It’s scary because what is happening can happen anywhere and trust me when I say as a Canadian we are not immune.

So you’re right with your critique, but what’s currently being done is not the answer. We have real world evidence proving that.

Edit - did forget an important thing. This is in Switzerland NOT America. I’m not saying it’s not happening in America I know it is, but a protest in Switzerland is not going to fix America. If that was the case 30+ million Canadians would have eagerly steered America from the current disaster they are in.

Hear me out.

All these people are going to do jack shit when Trump does what every other dictator does and holds another rigged election in America.

“See the election happened! I won!”

And the media will be silent. And the people will scream from the fringes. And America will have finally fallen.

Downvote all you want. I’ve seen enough to know for this to not happen things need to change now and that’s not happening.

Damn and I learned about concerta Crash almost immediately because I was an emotional wreck once it wore off like I’m a grown ass dude and I was weeping every night as the emotions came flowing back in droves.

Maybe if I knew I was ADD as a kid and had the tools to manage it better things would be different but nah. I was never told how to manage as a kid just always loud and disruptive and always my fault.

I make damn good money but at the same time Jesus Christ I’m self destructive outside of my professional career. ADD Drugs may help but at 48 I am not going to risk that journey again. I actually found regular exercise helps a lot

Concerta Crash was one of the main reasons I decided meds are not for me. Made it to 40 without knowing I had ADD. Then realized as much as meds helped with work they didn’t help with the RSD and emotional regulation and when I crashed every night I was a goddamn wreck

Real world is the levellers and the diggers and good ol’ Oliver Cromwell.

Everyone complaining. Everyone calling for change. King killed. No one had a plan for after.

Systems will only change if there is an environment conducive of that change.

I would argue Obama knows this. Change is incremental.

Netscape lowered teen pregnancy rates

I’m not talking about individuals but the collective “we”.

No you won’t lol. I’m not saying we would do any different in Canada to be clear but the American public have shown their stripes. You will all do as you’re told.

Gotta chase that Alpha!

In a perfect world a good government would be heavily regulating social media to prevent disinformation.

I continue to say when I was a kid you could all go to the local bar and there was Dale drunk going on about his insane shit and we could all ignore it. Now Dale is online with all the other Dales and they’re crazy but they’re not dumb and they found out how to weaponize their insanity.

Sigh.

Best we can do is educate our kids my daughter has friends who have anti-vax parents. Mine are not and I do my best to educate other kids when here. I don’t undercut their parents. I simply try to provide them with the facts and the hope is, the long game they will get smart.

I also want to add the danger of taking “facts” at face value. I have ADD as do my kids. They are inundated with information I never was and I have to debunk a lot of shit they see online because of the source (manosphere shit is everywhere). Seriously it’s an absolute fire hose of bullshit online if you don’t know how to filter content.

I think the MCU of all places summed this up perfectly and I think it was in Thor: The Dark World where Jane has fuck knows what and they operate on her in Asgard and she’s giving medical terms and they’re like “WTF just hook her up to the whoziwhatzhit and she’ll be fine.”

Can they get the come dine with me narrator to chime in randomly between facts?

“Taxi!”

The best song ever written

To further your point and remembering my asinine discussions with the vendor.

Fine. I accept what they said. Then the return code should be a 5xx code not a 200.

I genuinely wonder if they addressed their fuckups.

Side note their updated desktop client (because of course new version didn’t have one so they had to write one fast) was a java client that needed 16gb of ram to run marginally well lol

Fun story close to a decade ago we were attempting to upgrade our batch scheduler called Tidal to version 6x which had a RESTful API.

One of the reasons we dropped the product was because we were getting 200 status codes meanwhile the output was a java dump of an error message.

They were adamant that this was an us problem, no matter how much I tried to explain to them with numerous links explaining to them that if something has a 200 status code that should mean things worked.

They argued that the 200 meant we were hitting the API fine. We would have to write code to read the return for if it was a error or not. I still don’t think they understood how stupid they were, even all these years later.
