I’m in that boat. Joined the IT world before the first .com crash, dropped out of school for it and never got a degree. I’m very stuck right now and I hate the career I’m stuck in. Trying to find a way to go back to get a degree, maybe open a door or two…

OMG, I do this when a drop is about to spill, it’s reflex, Can’t help it. But I’m always terrified someone will see me being so weird.

Glad to know I’m not alone I guess.

I am still pissed off about losing Force Touch on the iPhone. Haptic Touch is so much worse and slow. I loved using various pressures with good feedback for things that made sense. It was so much faster and more deliberate than the stupid replacement.

It felt like a great step in this direction, but instead of improving, they just shitcanned it for something much worse.

Same. I adore my wife, fall more in love with her every day we’re together. It’s not always easy, but things that are worth it aren’t. Marriage is the best decision I ever made.

I did get married a little later than some, just had turned 30 the month before we tied the knot. Maybe taking my time and finding the right one helped, not sure. Just knew it was her almost right away.

Nearly 50 and this is the first news story I’ve heard about quicksand in my life. As a kid, scooby doo really made me think I’d be hearing a lot more about this dangerous scourge.

Big quicksand really has a top notch media wing, they really keep a lid on the danger…

Nah, they are just letting her be the one to kill each and every one.

I was a bourbon fan when I drank. Been 5 or 6 years though. Glad I don’t support that industry anymore. Fuck ‘em.

I don’t know, I kind of like hearing about the ongoing dumpster fire. It’s been years since I have been to reddit, so its kinda nice being reminder of why I’ve stayed away.

Ha, what an asshole I am. My apologies.

From the same group of assholes doing everything possible to assist with the blockade of the turnip pedo-files.

I’m an idiot.

So, we’re at death camps now. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Fuck every last piece of the shit who voted for, or couldn’t muster the care to vote against this horrific regime. I sincerely hope they come for you next.

Weird how all the “protest voters” I know, seem to have no problem with anything currently happening. In fact, any time I bring up politics, I’m reminded of how the real fascism was having to wear masks.

Current events seem to support that hypothesis.

billionaires never see justice

It’s because they have successfully convinced the majority of this country that having money makes you a better person.

It is, but I’m ready to officially throw in the towel and embrace the fact that running your own hardware is not much more than a hobby these days. I’ve preached and preached the value of multi or hybrid cloud, only for the people with money to pour it down the same hole time and time again.

I’ve always said IT is essentially an entirely CYA driven industry. Having someone to blame is more valuable for them than uptime, and if they can show their outages, even if the numbers suck, was not their fault (easy to do when all your competitors are down at the same time), it’s all good…

Update- lol, YouTube is currently down.

I wish more people would see it.

My American GE dishwasher just broke and I ordered a part from their US based site. The 17$ part ships from China, I have no idea what’s going to happen. Guessing I’ll be handwashing dishes from here on.

My wife had cancer young and it caused her to be unable to nurse our children; she just couldn’t produce enough and so we bottle fed our kids. It’s been over 10 years but she still gets shit on for it by certain types (including some in my own family who remind us whenever they get a cold). She is so goddamned, rightfully angry with the types who try to shame people for not breastfeeding.

Those types are in charge of policy right now.

I’ve never thought about it like that but it makes so much sense. The hate in the heart of these people runs incredibly deep, I know because my own family has disowned me because I refused to “take the red pill”.

I am a leader in a youth organization and we have a few autistic kids in our group. They are wonderful kids, and their parents are just amazing with their patience and love for all the kids. I can’t imagine the difficulties they face, but I’m so truly blessed and happy to have these kids in my and my children’s lives. I’ve worked with special needs kids a few times, and the pure joy they are capable of is something that sticks with you.

But I’ve also known a few less involved and less interested parents who denied and refused care for their kids who clearly need help. I can’t say I know the political persuasion of any of these folks, but I’m pretty good at inference…

I’m not religious at all, but seeing these mouthbreathing maga fuckwit’s, slavish fealty to that pedo-protecting rapist criminal, has me reconsidering.
