That’ll last for a couple of months, maybe a year. And then the Republicans will come for medicaid too. If they get away with gutting Medicare, what makes you think they won’t do the same to medicaid?

Lol I love how it says "considered one of the more humane ways to sacrifice laboratory rodents. Who are they sacrificing them to? The great God of science?

For me it’s mostly down to Microsoft being such a douche about their Windows 11 upgrade. My windows 10 PC can apparently not do thd upgrade due to “incompatible hardware” but at the same time I can still run pretty much everything I like to play / do just fine. It’s really making me consider switching to Linux, I might give it a shot on an old laptop soon and if that goes smoothly then I’ll switch on my other PC as well. No need for Windows anymore if they’re pushy and there’s a good alternative available.

I’ve been considering making the step myself since the deadline is approaching and I feel my pc isn’t at the end of its lifespan yet. How would it work with games and other stuff I have installed? Would I need to reinstall everything? Or would it be able to pick up the game installations seamlessly?

Netherlands. Pretty similar to the UK but our rains generally come in bigger bursts compared to your shorter periods of rain.

So, genuine question. If someone is non-binary (which I believe Bella has said they are), does that mean that they are in the run for best actress? Or best actor? It sounds like it’s best actress but it seems like a bit of a difficult one. What would happen with someone with pronouns opposite of their birth gender?

It’s so crazy to me that, in less than a person’s lifetime, Germany has gone from Hitler to this. There are people alive that remember the atrocities of World War 2 and the fascist regime and somehow people are dumb enough to possibly vote for this again. It is really damning that this is happening.

Also, just like Trump in the USA, they’re not even trying to hide it behind nationalist stuff, they straight up say what their plans are.

I’m surprised they didn’t choose that healthcare CEO guy for his stellar work quietly and legally murdering people.

Guess that’s what happens when you release tons and tons of content. The fact that this basically only happened because of 3 movies should be enough proof of that.

They literally send me an email to recover my old photos almost every day. Dude, I can’t even remember what’s on there, must not be important so I’m not gonna recover them.

That looks really good! Hope you had an appetite because it does look like a lot of food.

Lol and on LinkedIn too, not much virtual anonimity there. Hope his company thinks about it similarly, otherwise he might be in for a rough time.

At my first company I was part of a team of about 20 people. In this team there were multiple instances of office romance drama. We had a manager with a wife and kids that cheated on them with a marketing colleague during a company skiing holiday, we had a team member that had a (not so) secret relationship with a manager and we had a colleague that was in a relationship with a colleague from another department and then started cheating on him with a direct colleague.

The first one I don’t know too much about because it happened before I came to that team but the second and third ones I was in the middle of. The colleague-manager relationship was especially weird because to me and my direct colleagues it was obvious what was going on, they weren’t hiding it that well. But when people asked them about it, they would always deny it which was kinda weird. Anyway, after one of them left the company they supposedly fell in love afterwards and are now (to my knowledge) still together.

The cheating colleague was a whole different story. She had a relationship with a guy from another department who was pretty good looking but he was an ass. They were even living together. She then proceeded to fall in love with a direct colleague from our team and ended up meeting up with this colleague in the company bathrooms during lunch breaks… This went on for a bit (and was somewhat common knowledge in our team) before she broke up with her partner and started living with the new one. Pretty weird. Also, there were multiple occasions where I saw her straight up kissing another guy in our team on the lips for his birthday which was a bit strange as well.

Last story: at my latest company I got hired to be a business analyst. When I walked in, there was no way I was going to be able to carry out this role. They asked me to use data to support and advise but there was literally no data available. So I stepped in together with another colleague to work on this for the next year or so, with great success. We had a whole data platform with interconnected data and a visualization tool by the end.

However, close to the time we finished our work a new colleague joined our team. When he presented himself, his tasks fully overlapped with my original role. I went to my de-facto manager (my actual manager was only HR-responsible and was not very available at the time) and asked him if this person was my replacement, I got told that he wasn’t. The new guy then proceeded to start getting in my way every step of the way. I went to him and asked him if he was there to take over some of my work, he said no. Long story short, by the time it came to the time of the decision of extending my contract to a contract without an end date, they gave me a bunch of negative feedback (which I later found out mostly came from the newly introduced colleage) and only offered me a temporary extension.

This got me so frustrated and annoyed that I ended up quitting over it. They were very surprised by that but I did not hold back with my feedback during my exit interviews. Luckily I’m now at a different company that seems a much better fit for me where I can actually carry out work that I like. But yeah, overall a pretty eventful 8 years so far…

You can overthrow a flawed democracy only to end up with a fascist dictator taking totalitarian control.

Or you can vote for the guy that openly stated he’d be a dictator and that has fascist tendencies and is already working on remaking the government apparatus in his image…

That aside, I agree with your point that democracy should be preserved and used as a tool to steer your country in the right direction. It can be difficult though, being just a lone voice in a giant mass of people. Add to that that the American way of democracy is a bit biased towards Republicans with their crazy electoral college system and I can imagine that people like to phantasize about overthrowing it all in a revolution.

Oh, must no longer be a problem now that he left /s

And once that’s done, continue with every republican voter, starting with the ones with signs and shrines in their yards.

I think hurting his ego also hurts him, just look at the amount of people that get banned from X for doing it.

I saw a post about that the other day, it showed a map of all the states with populations smaller than LA county. Almost every single red state was highlighted. Really shows you how silly the electoral college system is.

It’s very nice. Until it blocks your navigation screen in the car, then it sucks :(

Democrats are way too “nice guy energy” for that, they literally did a 180 on calling Trump a fascist the moment he got elected even though they are 100% correct. It’s insane. Joe will literally walk himself into his prison cell if it would mean that he would look the more civilized person.
