For those of us like me that can step back. This timeline is absurdly funny.

But now telling then it’s $3/month to watch my pirated movies? No bueno.

I lol’d at this I won’t lie.

We (white people) gave black people the shortest and shittiest month to celebrate their heritage which a segment of us still bitch about them celebrating a month meanwhile bitch every month is White Heritage Month and this is what a large segment of the population feels and you cannot argue with feelings.

Why do they feel this way? Let’s get to that and work to solve the problem.

Being a bit of a pragmatist.

I’m probably as liberal as they come but I’m also older. When I do vote compasses I’m always square in the social and fiscal liberal columns.

That said, I am friends with people from all walks of life and I can tell you the general consensus is that things have swung too far to the left and what we are seeing is a swing back to the right. It’s all a pendulum. I’ve had this conversation with pretty much every one from every background so it’s not just a white people thing. People need to understand that people from many different backgrounds being their own flavour of hatred and bigotry to the conversation. Asians are notoriously racist. Black people are notoriously homophobic (my African girlfriend doesn’t like my earrings or the fact I wear colourful socks for Christsake).

What truly amazes me is how fast and how hard the pendulum has swung the other direction in America and damn does it not look good. In Canada it’s swinging right but far more measured and the hope is not much farther.

Even as progressive as I am my daughter has an after school program called “Girls Inc” and I have thought to myself why don’t my sons have a Boys Inc to which the response in my head is it’s still a mans world and if I tried to make one I’d be accused of something negative I’m sure so I never pursue it.

I will say right now if the expression is “a rising tide lifts all ships” we have not been paying adequate attention to the ships that are not rising as fast or as much. This is what is causing the pendulum swings IMHO and without addressing the deep underlying and systemic issues it’s only going to get worse.

I find it hilarious that in even a thought experiment with no bearing on reality you always have people that will shit on your hypothetical fantasies.

Maybe you missed the “as much as possible” part

Get Ralph it’s awesome. Use it in conjunction with Zabbix too if you’re monitoring your infra as well.

Fly under the radar as much as possible, find a cute girl and settle down and have a lot of kids.

We all know they have no souls. It’s not like they’re real people anyways.

Like you, I am waiting to see what asinine response they give.

Fuck now I want a smoke!

Same. Until insurance reforms happen there is no incentive for me to have a self driving car.

They should but I’ll go one further. Liability should be 100% with the auto manufacturers and car insurance should disappear or be drastically reduced assuming maintenance warranties are met. If I’m buying a FSD car I don’t want any liabilities when it comes to safety.

As with his life he wants all of the power and none of the responsibility

And the supreme Court will also side with them anyways. It’s been stacked conservative over the years on purpose. When you lose the courts you lose the country. Look at what has happened with India and Pakistan over the years with their meddling with their legal systems.

Who needs Congress when the supreme Court is behind you?

They’re all the same. All companies are the goddamn same…

LOL I mean I can probably say the same thing and I gotta tell you. It’s amazing the people out there that want to:

1. Control the narrative of the data
2. Suppress the data

I’ll use just a simple example of tracking incidents in your organization. It’s so polarizing like people how do you expect to improve if you can’t acknowledge your faults?

Extrapolate that to the current political climate.

I work for a crown corp in Canada we have, off the top of my head, about 800 MSSQL, Oracle, MySQL/MariaDB, Postgres databases across the org (I manage our CMDB). Musk is a retard. The world runs on SQL.

He wouldn’t know this though because he’s a techbro that builds apps with MongoDB b cause he doesn’t understand what normalizing data is and why SQL is the best option for 99.9999999% of applications.

Fucking idiots.

Lol I had one of these from a wrong number. I ended up pissing them off and they stopped talking to me because before they could even get into the scam I had a long winded rant with them about crypto being monstrously useless and I’d never in a million years invest in magic beans.
