But... the girl on the left looks like a Latina.
Yeah, it was a very wasteful system. As in wasting both my time and that of tax payers.
I didn't care that I was technically entitled for unemployment money. After the first three locations that I've gotten offered, including sitting through a job seminar that quasi-turned into a car-wash operator course, where I was surrounded by folks that were really eager to take that job offer, I've declined further appointments at the youth job centre and sought out IT employers by myself.
Maybe this is too communist for some people, but it would be nice if some government body just matched me with a job that matched my skillset and education
I actually used government services, while unemployed, back in the early 2000s, but they were very miss. All they seemed to be focusing on was you hitting a quota of seeking out employers that they have listed for you, regardless of what you claimed to be as your profession or qualifications. Just so you can stay on the dole.
I did it! I did it over the long weekend. Been using Windows since 3.1 (albeit only switched fully from MSDOS when Windows 2000 came out).
I did a test run on my laptop during time away from home/desktop over the summer, using Linux Mint, to see if I can do work and school on an unfamiliar system exclusively. On Mint I never had to open the terminal and everything worked right out of the box. Cinnamon is very similar to Win10 too. Heck, I can't even remember the installation procedure, it was so hands off and easy.
After two failed attempts of Arch on the same laptop, I've managed to install it with help of archinstaller on my main desktop. No idea what I'm doing, but I got it up and running to a state where I can do both work and school.
FUCK Windows and the constant nag it does everywhere. Good riddance.
Peter Falk as the detective Lt. Columbo in the eponymous show. The premise of the show was always a murder investigation. But the murder was always revealed to the audience at the beginning of the episode, so the plot of the episodes focused on how Columbo was able to figure out the perpetrator. He always asked seemingly unimportant questions and often had the catchphrase "Just one more thing" right before he'd seemingly give up further pursuit on a target. Besides the crimes being perpetrated at the beginning, Columbo was never really involved in any chase or fight scenes, always just using wits and sharp dialogue to solve the mysteries.
This four panel plays on that, stopping the rampage of Godzilla with a seemingly inane question, that would likely lead to its eventual arrest after admitting to their wrong doings and turning themselves over to law enforcement.
Damn, that article is from 2022. Did they get recourse?
