  • I swear being on linked in is like a dating app.

    If you're a male in IT, the recruiters that DM you are always hot but likely bots. When you interact with them, they always want to steer you toward jobs that have nothing to do with what you want.

    They blue ball you until you get through the interview and then ghost you.

  • The problem was that The Onion tipped their hand. They needed to do what these high class tax dodgers do and create a completely separate legal entity (e.g. Information Combat Readiness Group) and submit bids under that name. Once purchased, sell the company to The Onion for pennies, or if they are really smart, rent the assets to the Onion for bajillion dollars, which then the Onion can write off and pay less taxes.

    And yes, that's how our corporate tax system works.

  • Literally just had my pihole hard crash this weekend due to a bad update to FTL. Apparently they had a major version upgrade and didn't bother to read the notes so I had to do a full OS reinstall.

    Back up your configs people. Had to dig through documentation to find the sqlite file and then parse through it like some sort of animal.

  • I personally blame stack ranking, invented by Jack Welch to justify cutting 20% of the company.

    If you want to get mad, the Behind the Bastards episode on him explains why corporate America is what it is today.

  • Have you no love for the shareholders who have invested their ill-gotten gains in these enterprises?!

    Have you no decency?!

  • He wants to do eugenics in the same way that Trump wants to deport "gang members".

    The filter is going to be arbitrary and going to be used to target people that they disagree with.

  • As an American, I do not take it personally that Canadians and other countries are boycotting the US. it's understandable, appropriate even, and I'm fully supportive of it.

    The only thing I ask is that when the resistance comes that you find ways to support us, covertly if necessary, but public if able.

  • Of course not. Even in 2016 Trump was a figure head. Back then there was what was called the silent resistance of White House staffers who did their best to undermine or at least lessen the impact of their programs.

    I have been saying for years the problem isn't Trump returning to power. It's people like Karl Rove and Steve Bannon, with the charisma of Obama that we need to be afraid of.

    Turns out I was half right. Trump is still the figure head that allows the literal deep state to do the work of the Heritage Foundation. He is the alt-right's Obama.

  • Forcing the UN to split their forces between Ukraine and Greenland....

    Totally not what a Russian asset would do.

  • I'm on the interview rotation and absolutely hate my company. I have a canned answer for this question and it sounds genuine.

    And I give every person I interview a recommendation because I want to get out of here.

  • A jury of his peers literally found him guilty of several felonies.

    Upon sentencing, the judge said, "Woopsie! I guess we can't put you in prison because you're a president now. Oh well."

  • I had this happen after I changed my unlock code and then locked myself out.

    I imagine part of this is a conflict between their logic for reinstalling your settings and the fact that your credentials have been changed and you need to unlock them. The account restore workflow doesn't have a path for people who recently changed their passcode but need to log in.

    I ended up abandoning the process and starting over. But gave me the opportunity to try a new launcher.

  • Last time I checked, uBlock blocked ads on Spotify.

  • "David Attenborough, beloved narrator to many nature documentaries as well as a fierce advocate of conservation, turns 99!"

  • Ah. Well another once in a lifetime event hits us.

  • In terms of total global damage, I'm not sure if Trump can hold a candle to Putin.

    Though the two are cut from the same cloth.

  • Same. I refuse to go to reddit to get this question answered but if a refugee can do the needful that would be appreciated.

  • If you get a chance to rub a tiger belly, you'll be rubbing that belly for the rest of your life.
