It’s just getting updated to, modern times. (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

Until a power outage. Or drive failure. Or a virus. Or errant attempt to remove the French rm -fr. If that happened… would you bury the drive in a funeral?

You know what, you’re right. I must have vaguely remembered both and blended the two stories.

No. Though if I got a nickel for every time Trump is associated with the Confederate flag… it’d be a rich man.

I was specifically speaking to the Jan. 6 intersection attack. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/kevin-seefried-confederate-flag-capitol-jan-6-sentenced-rcna69784

Outside the various shitty adjustments he’s making now, we cannot forget something perhaps bigger. Because of him, an enemy state flag (the flag of the Confederacy) was flown in the White House.

Just for you next time I’m in Chicago, I’m going to order a pickle Chicago deep dish pizza

I promise everything on that menu is like $10 overpriced.

$13 for a hot dog. Hot dog better be code for a fat blunt for $13

Kids are very materialistic.

When I was in middle school, I was probably the worst for me with the bullying. I came from a family that didn’t have a whole lot of money. Like even the cheap stuff we had to cut corners with. And well I was fully aware, that there was no real difference between what I had and what they had, it didn’t stop the consistent bullying. And the teachers never cared. The other students didn’t care in fact some of them would chime in too. And when that’s your life for several hours a day 5 days a week… You eventually just get to a breaking point.

I’ll never forget the day I basically had a complete emotional breakdown because we were doing back to school shopping at Target, and I saw one of those trapper keepers. With a weird designs on the outside. They were all the rage. And it was like eight bucks I think. My mom did end up buying it for me, but only because her soon-to-be 5th grader, collapsed in the isle crying. I don’t remember what I told her, but all I could think about was having that was going to make life just a little bit easier for me.

Kids can be real assholes to other kids.

One of my co-workers, maybe oversold his capabilities and experience. That or whoever told me what he was capable of oversold him. Doesn’t matter at this point. Not that long ago, he basically was never submitting any merge requests, and when he did there were a ton of issues. Then one week, everything changed. He was writing code and a style that didn’t match what he had done the week before, there was an excessive amount of documentation where before there was none. It was co-pilot. He had gotten access to copilot, which we all have. But it was obvious that he’s been leaning heavily into it.

And a short-term yeah it looks like he’s doing really well. But I fear he’s not actually learning anything by doing this. Which means if there’s a mistake, for a major change that needs a happen, He’s not going to get there on his own. One time he tried to submit a merge request and I was like, there’s an obvious flaw here because this could be null and you’re not handling that. If the company ever decides that we’re not going to use co-pilot anymore, cuz I think we’re still on a trial run, He’s going to find himself right back where he started. And that’s going to hurt his career in the end.

I suggest ZeroWater. The filters don’t last as long because they have more layers, but that means they filter out more things.

Sometime in my 20s I just switched to water only. It wasn’t even a conscious decision really. Wasn’t like one day I woke up and was like I’m just going to drink water now. Just one day I’d realize that you have been like 2 years since I drank any soft drink. So I tried drinking some Dr pepper which I loved. It was disgusting. I had someone try to see if there was something wrong with it and they said it tasted perfectly normal. And it’s been that way for a long time now. I’ve tried little sips of new soft drinks that have come out that my friends like… And none of them taste good to me. Just room temp water, perfect.

I used to use mio to add a little flavor every now and then, but switch to Crystal light. I found the flavors to be more consistently good.

No login with website. And your don’t need the Nvidia app either. Just driver’s

I know a single person in a nearly 2 decade career. But I’ve seen this stereotype posted repeatedly. I think it’s just niche, loud, sections of the internet wearing blinders, being in echo chambers, and wishful/fantasizing thinking.

Fighting/Flying

I use them 100% of the time. Which yes, includes my own driveway.

You should train yourself to use them automatically instead of a manual step. Like a reflex.

And if you’re at a light and you plan to turn, you have that blinker going. Even if it’s a long red light, even if you think no one is around.

I now know it due to this post. 100% will never remember it. Sounds like a very generic notification.

That bad boy never left my team.

Squirtle isn’t as good as Squirtle Squad, which would be peak. But it’s not an option.

And Charmander is just the basic pick. Picked by people who are 100% distracted by fire.

IMO, maybe a jerk, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I think more people need to hear news they don’t want to hear from someone they trust.

What I’ve told most teens looking at the future post high school is, have more then one career/life goal. When I was in middle school, I thought I wanted to be a professional chef. Only to discover I like cooking. I love cooking for friends/family… I loathed the toxic “professional” setting (especially thanks to Gordan Ramsey, who 20 years ago glamorized being a right jackass in the kitchen, pretending that was acceptable). Now I’ve worked in IT for nearly 2 decades and what I’ve done in my field has changed a lot.

I think lying to him and saying, “You can be anything, you can do anything, you’re amazing!!!” type of parenting is going to lead to problems if/when the plan doesn’t work out and they have no fallback. Personally, coddling your kid and lying to them just because it’s a short-term positive emotion (or you’re afraid of saying the truth), IMO is bad parenting. You’re not there to make sure they get the “right feels” or to be their best friend. You prepare them for the real world. Final note: you hear a lot of professional sports players say “I had a deal with my parents that if <sport> didn’t work out, I’d do <something else>.”

So, economical reasons couldn’t account for the slowdown. It’s 100% education and contraception…? Not the cost of living is so high and pay is so low that supporting another human is a risky venture. Or people are working so many hours to make ends meet.

I’m saying most living things, real or fiction, are more likely to be selfish than listen to literally anyone telling them not too. And we see this in the MCU repeatedly, both on earth and in aliens. When you emphasis freedom of will and choice, you cannot be surprised when it’s exorcised.

Yeah, that plan wouldn’t work. There are plenty of people today on earth, where we have endless access to education and contraception, who go out of their way to have like 12+ kids. They know what they’re doing and simply don’t care.

Someone telling people “Hey, be real cool if you like, had fewer kids” just isn’t going to accomplish anything.
