Holy shit we have the same bank pin!

Story of my entire programming life.

I absolutely believe General Shang makes Mulan wear the soldier outfit during sex.

As a person who works in server hosting (not as devops or IT), I'm often privy to customer interactions. I feel like my company does a really good job at damage control - where if we fuck up, some rep gets on the phone and makes things right. We've eaten costs on behalf of our customers.

But sometimes, you just gotta tell a customer to go fuck themselves.

And those customers, those biggest complainers are often in online gambling, crypto, adult content, or racist shit.

We get DDos'd a lot from it. But I'm glad the company I work for doesn't bow down to garbage companies.

Every tech company I worked at, NDAs were a doc to not share code or research discoveries.

Bro you're a prime candidate for quiet quitting.

If everyone looks bad because of the weakness of one person, you are being taken advantage of.

You can't say that! That will offend the snowflakes!

If I learned anything about public narcissists getting booed and hated in public, it doesn't change them. Elon has been getting shit on for the past two years by people booing to his face, and he still walks into parties like, "Hey it's Me Elon!"

You might enjoy CRPG Addict's blog posts about his adventure in Wizardry for DOS.

I beat it through emulation and save scumming, but his playthrough was a lot more tactical, and now Im starting to understand I'm not support to just hit the attack button over and over again!

Being a cop has a lot of perks. You get to make up shit and if they don't like it, you get to scream that they're resisting arrest. You even get to rough up people once in a while. If you accidentally kill them, most of the time, you just get fired and then you move to join another city. You don't even have to pay! And even better, you have no obligation to actually protect and serve. That school shooting? Nah... Imma play Wordle.

It's a really sweet gig. I highly recommend being a cop if you love having power and are a POS.

It's more that they think modern education is WRONG, and the only truth is the Bible, or whatever their interpretation of the Bible is.

Which is funny, because those same folks never even read the Bible.

Why are you doing his work? That's not your responsibility, but your management.

How are you bad?

You got a green verification checkmark on the same day! That's a win!

Plus, expect to be cleaning up every bodily fluid. All this for $14/hr.

This was me and being a teacher.

I can do a fulfilling job that helps the world by teaching, or I can be a code monkey with a fraction of the work and stress for 5x more the salary.

They also hire staff workers at min wage.

And they expect to also get medical professionals to work for $15-20/hr, where their usual rate is 3-5x that.

We watched a show where there was a concept called a Dead man's switch, and my wife asked me if I would ever do something similar, but include all my passwords, for everything.

"Absolutely not." I told her.

No one can know about my smut logins.

Chilchuck is like 29 but already middle aged with a divorce.

Don't put private data on your public facing website?

Linux is roughly at 3.88% market share. You don't think we can bump Linux adoption to 99.9% in the next six months?

We just have to keep writing these "Year of the Linux" posts every year.
