In my experience the bot and scam scripts have become refined enough to seem exactly like a pretty disengaged or disenchanted user, or someone not confident in what they’re doing. It’s led to some awkward moments when I suddenly send “BOT CHECK”
I found math in physics to have this really fun duality of “these are rigorous rules that must be followed” and “if we make a set of edge case assumptions, we can fit the square peg in the round hole”
Also I will always treat the derivative operator as a fraction
The dissent doesn’t “reveal concerns.” Justices Kagan, Jackson, and Sotomayor have been very vocal about these issues for months, since last summer at least. I wish the news would stop with this limpdick rhetoric. We are in a fucking crisis, act like it
Looks like the swedish meatballs I had in Stockholm. They told me it was a national specialty, but I think they just wanted to sell them and I, an ignorant American, bought it
I do not understand how people can have so much fucking money and not want to actually help people with it. But maybe that’s why I’m poor
Unironically, for sure
I never spent enough time on YouTube for it to develop its algorithm for me. I watch like 2 videos a week maybe, usually searching for something specific, and most of the recs for me have always been obscure clickbait I’m not interested in seeing
I see no problem with this, what with all the recommended slop
It’s state-controlled propaganda. If you find you tend to agree with the opinion and slant pieces, you should vary your sources to see what they’re not reporting.
I read this like the closing lines from Hang On To Your Life by the Guess Who
Shit, yeah, that makes a sickening amount of sense
LTC’s either have command or staff positions and often approve things like operations orders and contracts. I find this deeply disturbing, especially with people marinating in techbroligarch conflicts of interest. There’s virtually zero chance they’ve been put there for no reason
I have never been able to figure out how to block fingerprinting without entirely disabling my browser and it looks like the race to the bottom is accelerating
I still enjoy his writing, but I’m not sure how to engage now. I want to separate the artist from the art and let the legal system do its thing as a separate thing and I don’t know what ‘right’ looks like as a reader
I’m more concerned with the folks not getting aid because they think the process is so dreadful. It’s complicated and tedious, but doable, and the determinations are generally pretty strict. I got a high rating without combat experience, but I also can’t lift anything heavy and expect to move the next day without cry-in-the-car back pain. Like, I moved a table the other day and couldn’t stand up the next day. I also know people with exposure to toxic waste, with fucking tumors, who refuse to seek help because it would seem weak or the process is too daunting. It’s not weak to need help and it’s not justifiable the damage we’re asked to do to ourselves.
However, I have also seen people get 100% rating and have no apparent difficulty functioning, but they had enough little things add up to maximize their rating. So probably part of it is the calculation, but impact to quality of life and function is difficult to quantify fairly.
That being said, a lot (I mean a LOT) of waste could be cut from the contract process. I’ve seen tens of millions go to waste simply because the government didn’t agree to a contract that couldn’t be provided by anyone else by the close out date, and during renegotiation the company doubled the price for work that was already done.
Hell yeah, I knew my feed was missing something
I am apparently unhirable as an IT manager because I only have 8 years of experience and Sec+, and not 15 years and scrum and agile certs
