  • Size isn't everything. While I get what they're trying to say, the 'light utility vehicles' of today are getting 20-30 mpg while the sedan of 40 years ago got like... 5. Fuck cars and all, but this isn't really a good angle.

  • The comparison to modern travel is a bit off though... The vast, VAST, majority of humanity would never travel further than a few villages over in their entire lifetime. The 'mixing' of cultures isn't nearly as pronounced as you're suggesting. Consider that even medieval "France" was made up of over 6 distinct cultures with often different languages.

  • Yeah. I've had exactly 0 issues in the past decade. The only people I tend to get op's complaints from are usually lamenting that they can't use the n-word or hate on marginalized groups anymore and hide behind "it's a joke lmao". Op was too vague to actually say what exactly they mean by sanitization, but it IS eerily similar.

  • If you read what he talks about further down, you've built out that communication mapping for autistic-nt communication due to your circumstances (manager of autistic people). You can easily understand them. As a husband of an autistic wife though, I would say that it seems like nt people have a dramatically easier time building out that autistic-nt map than autistic people have building it. She still regularly misunderstands me and other people (unless I'm talking to her directly) but I understand her very easily even when she's talking to her autistic friends.

  • The dark ages didn't happen. They're a myth perpetuated by protestant historians in the 1900's who were trying to imply that the era between the fall of the Western Roman empire (600s) and the reformation period (1500's) were this awful collapse of society due to the Catholic Church 'straying from gods light'. It's totally bullshit of course and any modern historian (regardless of religion) wouldn't use the term.

    1. Generally to be "in-demand", you need about 6 years of experience & highly desirable certifications (at least one security cert such as sec+ or CASP, dns-related cert such as Infoblox CDCA, and typically something else like cloud engineering or maybe automation engineering related). Getting into DNS is usually something that happens after you've already been an enterprise network engineer for a number of years. It's highly specialized and rather difficult.
    2. Not possible. While AI can theoretically do the job, error is too expensive. AI already does much of my work, but I have to make risk assessment & I run the automation systems. I already automate much of my daily work. But when big stuff breaks, automation won't fix it.
  • Any company that is willing to fire me to save costs isn't worth working for. The job is so in-demand that if I put "looking for a job" in my linked-in, I get multiple offers within the hour. Not even joking. That's how I got my current job.

  • DNS engineer here.

    It's always DNS because no one wants to hire us. We're prima donnas that don't work much and demand large salaries. Companies think they can get away with having some random network guy "learn a bit of DNS" and it works!!... For a while... Then it fails catestrophically and the DNS engineer that was let go to "save costs" smugly watches them crash and burn. The job is super easy and simple until you're 48 hours into troubleshooting and the CTO is lighting money on fire trying to get the network back online. A big company can easily burn a DNS engineers 10 years salary in costs if they have a single large DNS failure (security or downtime).

  • Steve Harvey: "We asked 100 people, what is the male reproductive organ?"

    Contestant: "The penis"

    SH: "A WUH... HUH??" audience erupts into laughter Steve Harvey grabs onto podium to support himself laughter gets even louder

    SH: O lordy... one man goes into cardiac arrest and many others begin vomiting profusely from laughing too hard

    SH: YOU PEOPLE NEED HELP the Earth shatters and Satan rises from the underworld to claim unworthy souls the universe begins rapidly closing in on itself

    SH: (putting on a weary voice) Survey says... the board shows 100 for "penis" Harvey is able to get off one more shocked look before existence as we know it comes to an end

  • You don't go to waffle House for waffles. The bloodhound gang didn't sing about waffles.

    "Want you smothered, want you covered like waffle House hash browns"

    Dunno about you but I've never not crashed hash browns while hammered

  • Hitting on people is equivalent to racial segregation and centuries of hatred...? Besides that whole can of worms, how did your parents meet? My dad hit on my mom at a summer camp. I met my wife by hitting on her at a store. Hitting on people is the most traditional way people hook up. Weird to me that people are trying to demonize public flirting.
