  • When I was in college there was a culture of blasting out music from the windows of the dorms.

    Mostly hip hop and pop, not really my genres at the time (though I got into some niche hip hop years later)

    At the time, a metal guitarist had recently died violently. They were a local band with a global reach, well local to me, about 2 hours from campus.

    That day everyone knew their music, lol. Had my "metal" friends come up with speakers and any other audio gear they could muster.

    In my defense, unlike other noise polluters, I observed quiet hours.

  • Not driving isn't an option in my area. Not if you want to be employed.

    Its a 30 minute drive to the bus stop to get to work. Plus travel time along bus stops.

    Its a 35 minute drive to the front door.

    If its still half an hour to just get to the bus stop, what's the point even, at a personal level?

    Captain Planet told me in the 90s what was gonna happen. Corporations just took it as a play book to accelerate shit.

  • As someone who went through highschool when Slipknot was blowing up, hell I'm listening to them right this second, I deplore the term Magat.

    For those unaware, the Slipknot fans are referred to as maggots, hence songs like "Pulse of the Maggots" having a less grotesque meaning.

  • I'm looking to rise up from the hell desk, I have an enterprise grade server sitting collecting dust at the moment (heat issue, not on the server, just the average ambient temperature is uncomfortable without it running is too much) but its running unraid at the moment and not much else.

    Any suggestions on where to start with infrastructure as code?

  • Less than a year ago people tried to set up tents and booths alongside a major highway next to a liquor store to support Trump.

    I doubt they had permits, but they sure had a lot of AR15s around.

    Sadly, my state is a Republican stronghold.

    At this point I'm not looking to move states, I'm considering other countries.

    America was a grand experiment.

    Know what happens when an experiment fails in a science lab? Flushed down the metaphorical shitter. Use what good data you got from it, even if it doesn't support your hypothesis.

    Trump would gleefully fiddle ala Nero if it meant he was in power.

  • Its simple, you don't even think about it while crossing.

    Planning a drive? Maybe reroute in case a train is stuck.

    Being pissed that a train is approaching and you missed the light? Sucks, shoulda left earlier.

    Though I suppose more restricted access to the tracks would be beneficial.

    I knew a person who chose a train as their method to exit this hellhole. Just walked right onto the tracks, and the engineer didn't think anything of a person walking beside the tracks because it runs next to a main thoroughfare, a lot of traffic, even on foot. She just stepped on the tracks, no guardrail or anything to hop over even.

    For anyone offering well wishes or to seek therapy... I knew this person from work, we were never close, and both of us had exited that job for other reasons.

    Just a name and a picture in the newspaper alerted my BIL, who worked in the same building and had more of a working relationship with that person.

    He isn't fine, but that has nothing to do with the person who commited suicide via train lol.

  • Read a story about a shifter druid (3.5e) that jumped off a cliff and transformed into a whale.

    Landed on an orc village killing all inhabitants.

    Cleverly cheesing the rules is a feature, not a bug.

    Also the peasant rail gun cones to mind, lol.

  • You get the government you voted for?

    For so many people in this country that isn't the case.

    I live in a deep red state. I sure as fuck did not vote that way.

    The country has gotten so bad that I'm not looking into moving States any more. I'm looking at other countries.
