That’s not a silly thing though. Pretty much all jobs are temporary.

I’m at an MSP that services quite a few school districts. We lose techs to them somewhat regularly.

Utopias are inherently dystopian in they only work when everyone wants the same things and everyone is bound by strict rules. There is no such thing as a utopia.

I’ve been tempted to create a bot that does nothing but search comments in code for misspelled words and create pull requests for them.

If it stays in comments, little chance in breaking a working codebase and I’d have an insane amount of commits and contributions to a wide variety of codebases for my resume.

I’ll never be a top tier coder. But I might make management.

Break up monopolies.

Healthcare.

Enforce fairness and ethical journalism.

Regulate social media. (Influencers, advertisements, disinformation.)

Bunker gear isn’t using asbestos anymore. It would be nomex and kevlar now.

Not super scary unless your from the area. But there is a prison by me where back in the 80s, a man named Kevin Cooper escaped. He made his was over to a house a couple miles away and broke inside.

He killed the two parents there, one of their children, and another child that was there for a sleep over with an axe. He tried to kill another 9 year old child there as well, but they survived.

A true life actual axe murderer.

For me, it’s an expression of a particular set of my creativity. The decorations, the show element of it, engaging in various fantasy worlds and dressing up.

It’s just fun, and freedom to have fun doing whatever you like!

Get treated for ADHD and depression sooner.

Oh man. That with a nice, cold drink. Often a beer or cocktail. The dichotomy is glorious.

Sweet, sweet, naked, hot bliss.

Tons of communities. I don’t think any users though. Some I know are trolls but if I don’t challenge them, then they may influence people who aren’t as aware of their agenda.

Mostly on this account I’ve blocked tons of porn and anime and sports.

My NSFW account I block anything not porn and all the porn I’m not interested in.

I live here. I want Trump to lose this election so bad. Mostly because if he is elected, I do think there is a real danger of him abusing his power. That his policies may kill thousands of Americans again.

But also, because I am so fucking tired of hearing about every little thing he says. I wish we could go back to the not verging on the edge of fascism politics were I don’t have to hear or worry about what inane thing the most powerful person in my country has said today.

Being able to build something with off the shelf parts is an art.

Considering LEDs are so good at producing a very tight wavelength, I wonder if this could be replicated with more energy efficient lamps.

Or if non visible spectrum lights can be used to make similar alpha channel masks that don’t affect lighting the scene.

Mac and cheese with whatever random protein is like… A norm. Bacon? Hot dog? Chicken?

Yes.

These places have their goods and bads.

Disney in the past weren’t nearly so exploitive and expensive. They truly did give an extremely fun and entertaining experience to the guests. They did much better at treating their employees. They have pushed technological boundaries on the entertainment front. They built parks that have genuinely made millions happy. They aren’t perfect as a corporation and I have a shitload of gripes with their management and leadership, but they put out a pretty damn good product.

Nowadays, they do underpay and over charge. They are cashing in on nostalgia and not doing enough to foster that in the next generation. They’re no longer targeting family fun but are instead putting more towards the mid-20s to late 30s market. I haven’t felt it was worth the money in a long time.

Sea world. While they have done terrible things especially in the Orcas, they also put on a very, very entertaining theme park. They do fund a lot of research and coastal animal refuges.

Growing up in southern California. Disneyland was common, and so common that I ended up working there. It’s changed a lot in the last twenty years.

I still go to Disneyland regularly, but it’s always because I know someone that can still get me and my family in. I’m fortunate that I haven’t paid to go to Disneyland in over 16 years, and I’ve been hundreds of times. Now, I typically get disappointed when I’m there. I’ve seen the parks go downhill and the prices go way, way up.

I’ve been to Sea World growing up, since it was a two hour drive. And Lego Land. And Six Flags.

It’s not the parks that are spoiled, it’s the flights and hotels that make these things wild trips for spoiled kids.

(H)Okay so…

It made sense with t9 texting. Smartphones have easy to use keyboards and autocorrect. No reason to still type like you have to make 7 or 8 key presses to type “you.”

Not who you responded to, but I did this to an engine after tearing it apart 3 years before.

It’s a weird skill, just being mechanically inclined and a bit ADHD to know how shit just works and goes together.
