You’re an amazing person, and I hope you know that. Thank you.

Hey thanks, I appreciate you. What you’re saying is all probably true, but I can’t shake this horrible feeling that I failed him. I like my dog more than I like most people I meet, and he was with me all day every day. I hope this feeling lessens with time.
I’m sick to my stomach. My healthy labrador died suddenly on Saturday. He was fine Friday afternoon, got nauseous Friday night, and I was waiting for the vet to open at 8am Saturday to get him in there. He got unresponsive and barely breathing around 6am and I rushed him to the vet ER, and he didn’t make it. The vet said he had a “torsioned spleen” or something like that.
I’ve got an absolutely soul crushing amount of guilt that I didn’t get him to the ER on Friday night. My dog trusted me to protect him and take care of him, and I completely betrayed that trust. I’m in such a place of deep sorrow that it’s impossible to explain with words. Every time I start to fall asleep, I’m suddenly wide awake trying to figure out why I decided not to act sooner.
Not sure why I’m sharing this, I guess I just had to get it off my chest.
I was in endpoint management and security until last year. I got my A+ and sec+, and couldn’t find a job. I did actually find a job, but these fucks wanted to pay me less than I’m making in business ops now. So anything bad these companies have coming to them, they absolutely deserve it.
I can’t tell if you’re talking about desantis or trump
Nobody mixes wasabi with soy sauce. They mix horseradish paste that’s dyed green with soy sauce, because real wasabi is prohibitively expensive and most people have never actually had it, myself included.
Care to expound on this thought? I’d argue that not watching news hardly makes someone uninformed. For example, Sinclair communications owns something like 200 local tv stations in the US, and they all parrot the exact same right wing BS on the local market nightly news. Nexstar is another example - they write a BS diatribe and every news station they own repeats nonsense disguised as news.
I’d argue that being able to distinguish propaganda from “news” is an important part of critical thought, more important than being informed by local “news”.
recall taking screenshots periodically
Seriously, you didn’t get through the first paragraph?
the notion of a tool that silently takes a screenshot of your desktop every five seconds”
Saying “periodically” is a pretty trivial way of putting it.
Microsoft and Adobe fighting each other over who gets enshittification of the decade award. Sam Altman is probably crafting a victory speech about what chatGPT 12 might possibly be able to do, someday. The sooner all this snake oil hype crashes and burns, the better off we’ll all be.

I’d never consider owning an Italian car without a bulletproof warranty or serious “F you” money. They aren’t exactly known for reliability.
I don’t know where all of you live, but my windshield is still an aria of death in the spring of 2024.
7/10 meme, I got a chuckle when I saw “mandatory voluntary “
Spoken like someone who’s never had a car buried up to the rocker panels in mud or snow and needed extra ground clearance to get out.
This isn’t solving any problem, this is yet another mask to push
contentadvertisements in front of people.
That looks better.
Do words just not fucking mean anything anymore? What exactly does “maven” have to do with any of this? Is everyone treated like an expert at everything? Is that how it works?
The entire tech industry is tiring, bullshit, and I’m exhausted with all of it.
However, what if it were possible to hail a small electric vehicle right when you needed it – via a taxi- or Uber-style app
Uber style app. Seriously, fuck no. Send trains or don’t, fuck Uber and their business model.
I hear you. The other side of me worries about the other couple billion living near a sea who would just perish.
I’m not speaking for them, but I’m thinking they meant that Hitler won the battle for power, but the Allies won the war. The book would look a lot different if Hitler won the war. In this context, “we” are the allies.
I’m 45 years old and grew up during the Seinfeld heyday. He wasn’t funny in the 90s and isn’t funny now. George Carlin is someone who made sense in the 70s and made sense until the day he died. Rob Reiner, Mel Brooks - guys I think that are amazing and funny whose work still holds up today. Jerry Seinfeld was a guy who failed upward.
“Withstand voltage” is what got me.
