I used to work in a mall as a teenager/very young adult.

Our holiday playlist consisted of 4 songs.

One of them of was Mariah Carey’s all I want for Christmas is you.

I heard that song every 12 minutes for 2 months. 8 hours a day, 7 days a week.

It now actives some kind of sleeper agent programming in me. All I want for Christmas is to watch a store burn to the ground around me.

It’s a real shame about the brain damage, lead really is an amazing metal

I remember a few career changes ago, I was a back room kid working for an MSP.

One day I get an email to build a computer for the company, cheap as hell. Basically just enough to boot Windows 7.

I was to build it, put it online long enough to get all of the drivers installed, and then set it up in the server room, as physically far away from any network ports as possible. IIRC I was even given an IO shield that physically covered the network port for after it updated.

It was our air-gapped encryption key backup.

I feel like that shitty company was somehow prepared for this better than some of these companies today. In fact, I wonder if that computer is still running somewhere and just saved someone’s ass.

Bold of you to assume that our hunter gatherer descendants will even know what an Israel was.

Why does a fridge need to know your habits?

It has to keep the food cold all the time. The light has to come on when you open the door.

What could it possibly be learning

It also makes me think the whole thing was fucking staged.

Private bone spurs, who compared sex parties to being in Vietnam, gets shot in the ear and is suddenly this big manly man who raises his fist in defiance? Right, and I’m the fucking Queen of England.

So you don’t want any attempt at inclusion?

Sounds just as bad as all the bigots getting mad about the one trans ad they did try to do.

Inclusion is important, and it has to start somewhere. If you want big inclusive ads year round, then I suggest you start your own marketing company.

All security is theater.

In a country where anyone can have a gun, practically all security is largely reactionary.

If you set up a perimeter, a potential attacker will just shoot from outside controlled area.

I highly doubt the secret service is nearly as effective as they’d like us to believe, much like how the TSA is largely useless and only there to discourage attempts in the first place.

I don’t want to go too far down the conspiracy rabbit hole, but I think embarrassment is precisely why a lot of the JFK assassination stuff was classified for so long. After Oswald started shooting, there was a lot of panic and the cars suddenly accelerated. A secret service agent was photographed falling backwards in a car while holding an AR-15 around the same time that JFKs head exploded. Seems likely that the secret service accidentally shot the president in the head, and then covered it up for decades to avoid the embarrassment.

Letting a lone gunman get passed hightened security is one thing, but if they imply that he was some operative from Iran, then it’s way less embarrassing and they can keep the public assuming that they know what they are doing.

Death by snu snu is the way

You see, the problem wasn’t that the agents didn’t follow through on tips from the public, or have a marksman on the highest available rooftop for surveillance and counter sniping. No, the issue was that the agents could not simply shoot through the building to get the shooter.

That’s why they need recoiless rifles for the agents

There’s a lot of armchair snipers all of a sudden who are saying they can hit a few inch group at 100 yards with their eyes closed.

Given lemmy’s demographic, I’m not sure how many of these people have actually held a rifle, let alone tried to shoot it at +100 yards while under a time crunch and stress.

Not saying what the kid did was right, but criticism of his marksmanship isn’t really fair.

Don’t forget your sacred duty boys, dicks out for Harambe.

It’s the only way to fix this fucked timeline

Then what’s the point in having a day by day rate?

You sound like you’re not allowed to be alone with the cousins at family events

And no one did get hurt.

But he’s still an idiot who made 2 very large purchases of the same product without doing any research on the quality of the vehicles.

All it takes is one mad king who thinks he can get away with just one to win something.

A mad king who wants Ukraine, or Taiwan, or South Korea.

As soon as one launches, they all launch, other nuclear powers won’t believe they have a choice.

It takes 30 minutes or less for an ICBM to reach anywhere in America, really the world, from Russia, china, or North Korea. How much can you get done in 30 minutes? Could you organize a meeting in different time zones, and convince another person to stop being a lunatic? Could you convince another president, who is about to have one of his cities burnt to the ground, that he should just let it happen.

That’s a hell of an elevator pitch you’d have to pull.

It takes less time than a good pizza delivery for the world to end.

Bought iPhone last year.

Tried Apple Maps the first week.

Put in address to friend’s new condo building.

Took me to a parking lot behind a grocery store next to the building, and then acted like I could drive through an old wooden fence to get to the condos.

5/10 I only had to drive to the other end of the block to find the only entrance to the property.

Oh I didn’t sign.

Someone offers you a sack full of cash to do something, you better start finding a dentist to look at that gift horse.

The signup bonuses can be pretty large depending on your placement exam.

When I was a young dumb 18 year old that wanted to be a doctor, I thought the army would be a good way to do that debt free.

They offered me something like 25 grand if I signed up that day.

That’sa lot of cash for an 18 year old.

Get your outside coil cleaned.

If the system is big enough for the house, there should be no reason it can’t maintain under 80 degrees unless something is wrong with it.

Check the filter in the house and check the outside coil for dirt and debris.
