AI...
China...

Note to sell: keep my old car running as long as possible.

 

You might remember this story. This is the sad conclusion, brought about by terrible racist adults.

Imagine being one of the Miller children in 10 years when their Dad will be put to trial Nuremberg-stylee, and their parents will be remembered as the American Goebbels... I pity the poor kids.

Aah, the things Trump's Gestapo wouldn't do to distract from the Epstein files...

Boycott Intel products.

When you buy Intel products, American fascists earn money now.

Don't fund fascism. Don't buy Intel.

I had several careers doing vastly different jobs - both white and blue collars - in seven countries. I can tell you what I did to land my jobs, but bear in mind that I'm close to retirement, so what I did back then may not work anymore, as the job market was probably more more open when I started out.

I basically applied for jobs being brutally honest about what I could and couldn't do, about my flaws and my strenghs. For instance, one of the things I always said during job interviews was that I'm terminally lazy, and that's why they should hire me because I will work long hours to put something in place that will allow me to not do something repetitive more than once. Turns out, this line was both true and the thing that sold my application for most of my employers.

Also, when I changed jobs completely - for example when I went from computer programmer to CAD designer - I applied for a job at small companies that didn't necessarily have the money to pay seasoned engineers and told them I was a fast learner, and proposed a big pay cut for 6 months until I proved that I could do the new job I had no experience in. A few key employers took a chance on me, allowing me to change career. And of course, once I had experience doing whatever new thing I set out to do, I could apply for another job in that field and claim experience.

Finally, I did not hesitate to find employers abroad. If I saw a company I liked that offered a job in another country, I applied, flew over to the interview, and if my application was selected, I relocated. I did that 6 times. It's not for everybody, but if you're mobile - or extremely mobile in my case - it increases your chances to find your dream job.

Of course, as the years passed, I accumulated quite a resume with an eclectic variety of jobs I held, and places I lived, and my resume spoke more and more for myself as a proof that I could do all those things, so I had less and less trouble finding jobs with employers that knew just by reading my resume that I can adapt to anything.

Would this work today? Maybe. I know the job market is a lot rougher than when I graduated. So don't necessarily take what I did as something to follow verbatim today. But maybe some of the things I did would work for you too...

Watching documentaries about the SS, more likely.

I'll have to reuse that one.

Her husband could start by not being a traitor and a hypocrit to his own country...

Another sign of America's terminal decline.

The first gold-digger is busy hawking her memecoin and suing Hunter Biden for beaucoup bucks. She has no time for poor hungry oppressed brown-skinned children.

The best commentary I've ever heard on privacy was from the Girl in the movie Anon:

"It's not that I have something to hide. I have nothing I want you to see."

This to me encapsulates perfectly why everybody should want privacy.

 

Fantastic-looking 3D-printed BK prosthetic - FDA-approved, waterproof, 50% lighter and cheaper than conventional prostheses.

It seems quite durable too 🙂

Not directly related to limb loss - not at all in the video, in fact.

But I'm posting this here because I can't say enough good things about saunas for phantom pain relief: in my case, phantom pain manifests itself in the form of electric shocks and, more annoyingly, intense itching that I obviously can't scratch, and one of the only things that work for me is a nice hot sauna.

If you have access to a sauna or a hot spa somewhere, give it a spin next time it hits!

Here are videos of the adjustable socket systems mentioned in the guide:

  • Click Medical Adjustable Sockets:

  • LIM Innovations Infinite Socket:

  • Martin Bionics Socket-less Socket:

This guide is rather old (2018), there are other systems out there. But they all work pretty much on the same principles.

 

The clownish Trump cabinet picks being clowns and creating distractions.

Which ultimately begs the question: where are the Epstein files?

 

Great. Now Facebook wants an AI Epstein 🙁

Honestly... I can't think of a single good thing Zuckerberg has ever brought to the world.

 

I love this project. Ian Davis is so rad!

 

ChatGPT head Nick Turley said he’s “humble enough not to rule it out categorically,” but hedged that OpenAI would need to “be very thoughtful and tasteful” about how ads could be integrated into ChatGPT.

You can tastefully go fuck yourself.

In fairness, I don't know that any AI service that starts barfing ads can be said to enshittify, since it was already shitty to begin with. I guess the ads are par for the course...
