Sick! Are there any more of these?

Fuck outta here with this denial

This would be true if it weren’t for the biggest unrecognised genocide taking place against the Uyghurs

The hell? Is 290 not enough?

Can confirm.

If you’re entering or exiting the tram, heads the fuck up.

My ex-MIL denied her kids this. It’s child abuse, pure and simple. Nice lady, but it’s child abuse. She should be overruled by the doctors. Insane we allow this to happen

I recently left an Aussie company whose shot caller was someone who was massively in favour of the social media ban and kept close tabs on her teenage kids’ phones. Ran the company like that, and it’s going under.

Dude I replied to you in the last thread.

Walk out of the house. Now.

Exactly. As much of a leftist as I am, redrawing electoral maps on the basis of party advantage disenfranchises voters. It is antidemocratic and ethically wrong. California, where I am a registered Democrat, really fucked up here.

Yep most BIOSes will have a toggle for Secure Boot. Make off.

I grew up in a very similar house. This is indeed uncommon.

My advice:

• you’re doing great by going to therapy
• get out of the house at all costs as soon as possible (today if possible)
• wherever you end up, you will have a rough go, but you will find work and a way to support yourself. You’re a good person, and people want to work with good people
• in your new city, join a volunteer group. This will help you to understand that there are good people out there, that you can make a positive difference in the lives of people with similar experiences, and that there’s good in the world. Social connectedness is very strongly correlated with happiness
• people can begin to resemble their abusers but sometimes they become saints. You’re on the right trajectory, keep up the good work

I’m a programmer. Happy to take a DM from you anytime. Also if you go to SF, I can give you more info.

I don’t mind when it links to wiki but I actually follow the link to verify. It totally made up a pardon from the king of England to some guy yesterday

The bespoke short-lived solutions angle is an interesting one, to be sure.

I wonder how many orgs will back themselves into a corner thinking their product will be short lived but it ends up hanging out for a while, as you mentioned.

Honestly this feels like an extension of this Agile/Scrum madness we’ve been dealing with since the mid-2000’s. Instead of the next quarter, we’re only building things with a view of the next two weeks.

Now it’s measured in hours, and even then we can give a prompt to an LLM and have a half working thing to throw away after it converts that PDF to a CSV.

I worry about the craftsmanship leaving this field. Engineers used to push back and for good reason.

This thread is full of people imagining that he committed war crimes in Iraq, but it’s also very likely that he once had discipline, the threat of consequences, formal training in weapons, use of force, the rules of engagement, and the concept of restraint.

It’s far likelier IMO that when he joined law enforcement, and particularly ICE, he felt that he could be less restrained.

Perhaps you are the wellest of all
