there are no songs about "fuck the fire department" but plenty about the police

every time i eat an overpriced steak at a steak house or a greasy hamburger from a fast food restaurant, i think of this knowing that such a thing would become a luxury that future generations will covet and put a lot of effort and time into saving enough money to indulge in something that's an ordinary day for me.

You are probably right.

Definitely right; she didn't start criticizing trump until January 6th; well after he lost the election in the previous November

if you're referring to this templos; it's still linux

in the fall of 2002 the windows millennium installation on my computer broke, trapping an entire semester's worth of work on the hard drive and i was a starving college student with less than $20 to my name, so i couldn't afford to buy windows xp and didn't know anyone where i could get a pirate copy from.

i bought a mandrake linux cd pack for $8 from circuit city and used google in the computer laboratory to learn how to mount the hard drive, install drivers for ntfs and copy my all my work to a usb drive and i've been using linux ever since. i switch to 100% only linux both professionally and personally sometime around 2010.

i've run into people who did this and i wished for deodorant every single time.

me three

i think that's why the show gives me so much anxiety; it's too believable

found myself laughing at this reply in the comments:

this sounds like a nightmare to me, so i wonder what i'm missing?

i also didn't find the article painful; it was refreshing to learn that someone else is walking in these shoes when it feels like so many aren't.

They do it because rich individuals like Elon have a vice grip control over the tech industry in this country and you don't need to do it anymore once one of them deigns to give you a reputation as a hard worker that deserves the money (that they themselves don't deserve).

If even a small number of people start doing this then it’s going to break all the hiring channels and we’ll only be able to hire referrals and friends.

my multinational employer thought that they could do that since they one of the biggest players in the industry so they figured they can force return to the office and they could just replace everyone who left as a result. fast forward a year and they've had to outsource hiring to bolster their own recruitment because the referrals they got were in such high demand that they had to compete with other major industry players to hire them and they had to double down on finding people through traditional means.

i know it's not like that in all industries; but that ones that stress or rely on experience are really hurting to find people like this because the social circles of ones with that experience are others with similar experience and those circles are tiny.

i've applied to this company several times in the past and got auto rejected; it wasn't until the attrition got so bad that they deigned to give me the time of day.

So long as rfk is running; trump won't win

it's a very effective form of voter suppression, so yes, it's very american; gotta make sure only the right kind of people can voter after all.
