Across three different organizations, I’ve watched five members of IT fired for their arrogance. If you’re interested in doing this, simply hire an attorney, bring the smart person into the room with the arrogant idiot, and make it clear that someone in that room is not going to work for the organization in two weeks, and then explain the situation.

I don’t understand this. What happens when you do that?

+1 for Bitwarden, wife and I use it and it works well. It lets you securely share passwords for free.

That looks both fun and painful AF. Kicks are no joke.

FYI the bottom link is broken (but it’s easy enough to get there, lol)

Yeah, I feel like it’s heavily skewed towards the beginning of life, but tbf I feel like the cool things you do later in life are harder to quantify? Could add things like:

• I’m trying to think of how to quantify a “Have 0 debt” option but like, post mortgage or something.
• Establish a friend group
• Hang out with at least one member of that friend group for 5 / 10 / 15 years
• Go to an interesting location as part of your job (conventions count)
• See a historical human-made artifact in person
• See a legitimate dinosaur bone in person (not cast)
• Visit your country’s capital
• Create a piece of art and enter it into something that has it be viewed by people outside your family / friends

Do you have any recommendations for a beginners guide?

The convenient thing about the LGBTQ+ community though is that we can pop up anywhere, at any time. The perpetual boogieman.

I don’t think you understand what rural means. There were people who had to travel 1 hr+ by car to get to the local grocery store where I came from. An ebike isn’t appropriate for places where you may need to travel 60+ miles, and/or in snow or bad conditions that might persist for weeks, and/or in ungodly hot / humid conditions that also persist for weeks. All three of those are true for decent swaths of the year in my area.

It feels disingenuous at best to lump in people making $60k/year with Jeff Bezos and other billionaires. Just twelve billionaires account for 2,100,000 homes worth of emissions, and that’s only the raw output of their travel and other direct expenses: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/20/twelve-billionaires-climate-emissions-jeff-bezos-bill-gates-elon-musk-carbon-divide

Yes, we can all do our bit to help out, but workers pointing fingers at other workers will only ever benefit the ruling class.

Yeah, that’s fair. FWIW it’s still uncommon enough that “Eh it happens” isn’t reasonable.

Living in a red state, I would? It’s not every year that an elected official gets whacked, even one that’s a member of a hated minority. For reference, there’s been 57 assassinated government officials in the US total: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assassinated_American_politicians

Saying “Eh this is just par for the course all countries are like this” feels like it minimalizes the problem.

Another article specified that they were literally found stabbed to death. How the fuck is there not foul play involved? Sounds like the AG is in on it or at least permissive of anti-LGBTQ+ violence.

Yeah, TCL was the front-runner when I was looking for a non-smart TV until I saw that. :( I ended up just going with a samsung and hoping for the best. I’ve not noticed anything annoying, but we’re probably going to switch back to a PC hooked up to the TV with all the subscription problems / price jacking lately.

Probably because it’s Chinese spyware. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/tcl-smart-tv-security-flaws

So what magic solution have you come up with that I should be doing?

I vote, I don’t own a gun, I try to help people where I can. If you say “Riot” then “You first”, because rioting alone just gets you killed.

Looks good! :) You’re going to kill it - good luck!
