They did mention a name. Publicly available database called PimEyes apparently.
It's in the article. Public database called PimEyes.
It doesn't go into much more detail than that. Says it's an open to the public face searching database.
That all sounds like it sucks, but I don't think it's as hopeless as I'm sure it feels.
Obviously this is just a snapshot into your life, and I'm sure there are more details under the hood, like what exact "adult responsibilities" and stuff you've got going on. That said, even in this text I think you've outlined a good bit of good stuff you've got going on.
First, I don't know why you think conflict deescalation isn't an absolutely in demand skill. Every job under the sun has conflict, and being able to manage that is huge. Even within Engineering, you could put that to huge use as a Sales Engineer or some other customer facing technical role.
Second, you got your bachelor's in an engineering discipline. You can poo-poo your grades all you want, but at the end of the day you succeeded. No mean feat my man. That's worth celebrating.
Finally, if you're simply looking for a way out, there are institutions that are always looking for technical people. Obviously this is gonna vary a lot by country, so ymmv, but the government/military is always in need of people in technical roles, and rarely are able to fill them. It probably doesn't pay nearly what a "normal" engineering job would, but it'd be more than an internship, and it would give you some of that structured camaraderie that you previously felt the lack of when trying to leave.
All that to say, don't give up hope my guy. I know I'm just some schmuck on Lemmy of all places, but I think you're capable of breaking out and getting to a better place.
You got this!
Genuine question, why not just walk away?
Like, it doesn't solve the mental issues you're already dealing with because of the years of trauma, but like, it seems like step one of healing would be to remove yourself from the situation, no?
Like, tell your dad he should probably get out, because you're not gonna be there to play witness to keep him out of jail anymore, and then pop deuces?
I don't believe this poll on the grounds that I don't think a large majority of Americans know what the Electoral College is.
Well, not every metric. I bet the computers generated them way faster, lol. :P
Fun fact, whether this meme is pro-Israel or pro-Palestine is 100% decided by what date you consider the "start" of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna defend the guy who got shot here. According to the article he was a real piece of work, and it seems like he was a credible threat to the life of the officer he put in the headlock.
I don't think the officers did anything wrong in this one. Broken clock twice a day and all that.
For context so other people don't have to dig into it like I did.
This is the Alabama state HoR. Not the National HoR.
This is the Alabama 10th district, which is suburban Huntsville (more PhD's per capita than any other city in the union).
That said, it's been pretty 50/50 in past elections, and this was a 66/33 split in the Democrat favor, which is a pretty enormous swing.
So, Alabama's going to be an interesting watch. I wouldn't be shocked to see a lot more flips come November.
In the Bibles defense, it didn't just rain:
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened. Genesis 7:11
So, like, most of the water probably came from underground, not from the rain. Though I'd imagine both were pretty bad.
Not saying the story is true or anything. Just pointing out the straw man, since the Bible doesn't claim all the water was from rain.
Forgive me if I wait for more concrete evidence than the word of a guy who refuses to cite his sources because he thinks Twitch is in collusion with the US Government and he may be thrown in jail or disappeared for doing a write up on some publicly available source code.
Fair. I presume that they meant publicly available in the sense that it was accessible to the public, not in the sense that it was necessarily free.
The article says they are using PimEyes, which I assume means that they're paying for a subscription.
