I appreciate the all caps because it reads a very specific way.

Dear Assface,

I'm writing to thank you. Not for the interview. For making a stupid post on a job site that you treat as social media. You are clearly deranged. I know that I don't want to work for you or with you or anywhere near you. Thank you for making that clear to me. Suck a fuck.

Best, some_guy

God, when I read it it was like his voice was saying it in my head.

People say no one has ever chugged a cock with more grace. They actually say that. No one. Not ever. And they’re right.

Omg, how have I never seen this joke articulated before now. Hilarious. Solidarity with my LGBTQ+ friends.

Work to develop emotional stability and security in being oneself. For me, that was many years of therapy learning to love myself. I got there in 2019, but the work continues. I'm the healthiest, mentally and emotionally, that I've ever been in my life. I truly did not believe I could ever make it as far as I have on this journey.

I worked in software development as a QA engineer. Every day I'd load the current build of the OS and test for bugs, check that fixed bugs are truly fixed, and write bug reports. Once a week it was on me to come in early and do a quick rundown to see how usable the build was and then send a report to the entire org so people knew if it was too problematic to install and remain productive.

I worked in IT at a place that was perpetually under water. I spent all day troubleshooting either end-user computers or servers. We never had a break from tickets, so there was always work to be done unless the holidays were in season and users were taking time off.

I worked IT Exec Support for a high-up individual. It required being on-call and meeting them at their office in different cities and being the personal IT for their staff. It was pretty unpleasant in that the exec never communicated effectively and was insulated by their staff such that they had unrealistic expectations about how things should work. I was proud to land the job, but I'm glad to be done with it.

I now work in IT at a place that is super organized. I mostly wait for someone to call with an issue. Most things are pretty easy to fix. Some days I have to administer our inbox and direct users or create tickets. During that time, I'm always busy. On the days when it's not that, I surf Lemmy (on wfh days) or read a book (on in-office days) between calls. I also configure devices for people and the like (think upgrades and new employees). I'll probably stay here until retirement cause it's the easiest job I've ever had.

It's good because raising a child only costs five grand, as we're all aware.

Start coughing loudly and see if they're sharp enough to infer what that means (if they can hear you, you can hear them).

I saw the video of this. Cops went from exiting vehicles to shooting in seconds. There was no threat to their lives. Fucking monsters. You hear the people who called 911 wailing in despair at the outcome.

These were among the more than two dozen people who died in Tarrant County jail custody since 2021 whose deaths weren’t fully investigated according to state law. Family and friends of people who died in the jail have asked state officials to intervene after Bolts revealed last year that Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn had flouted state law requiring outside law enforcement investigations into all jail deaths—a key element of 2017’s Sandra Bland Act that was designed to keep sheriffs from investigating themselves when people die in their custody.

These marginalized people are in jail, so they must be bad. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Is their friend my friend or me?

 

Frankly, it was a warmer greeting than I normally get from my parents, and it was accompanied by a slap on my back. I found the whole thing quite disarming.

 

The FOIA request was for records related to the FBI’s purchase of multiple hacking tools for $250,000 from anti-child abuse charity The Innocent Lives Foundation. This purchase was initially included in a public U.S. government database that lists what agencies are buying. After I reported on that purchase, the listing was removed from the database.

There will be a lot of this sort of shenanigans over the next four years.

 

The claim that they were “sipping margaritas” was revealed to be completely staged nonsense, as apparently Bukele aids showed up with the props solely for the misleading photoshoot:

Mr. Bukele, in a social media post, even crowed that “Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the ‘death camps’ & ‘torture,’” was “now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!” But according to a person familiar with the situation, a Bukele aide placed the two glasses with cherries and salted rims on the table in front of Mr. Van Hollen and Mr. Abrego Garcia in the middle of their meeting in an attempt to stage the photo.

The Right are so comfortable lying that it’d be comical if it wasn’t so chilling.

 

While the original ZimaBoard shipped with Intel Apollo Lake processors that were already more than four years old at the time that the board launched, the ZimaBoard 2 is powered by a current-gen Intel Twin Lake processor that should bring a significant boost in CPU and graphics performance. The company says users can expect a 200 percent performance boost, even though the new model runs cooler and quieter and uses less power while idle.

I thought a lot about buying the first version of this. Glad I waited. Very cool. Homelabbers: have some gear lust to start your weekend. Happy Friday!

 

That’s just wild. The one silver lining to T2 is that I’m not shocked by anything anymore. It’s still outrageous, but the surprise is gone.

She's back! (self.nicoleclub)
 

Whoops, I accidentally (/s) cut off the addresses so no one can send "her" money. What happened to the "nicoled" sub?

 

I'm sure we all feel great seeing photos and videos of huge protests. This isn't accomplishing much. We need more. I don't know what that is. I just know that we need it.

A bit late (published Thursday, but I read it last night), but it's astute.

 

 

Who would trust Siri to give them accurate information? I'm an Apple user and we all know Siri is the least reliable voice assistant. But stupid people gonna stupid.
