Well, we can fix that.

Jeez. Wow. Just wow. Lol.

The comedy series “Black Jesus” has some of that vibe, if I recall.

And yeah, it’s great.

I could skip my next union meeting, I guess…

I’m not up to speed on the full context here, but the invitation to “find out” in her expression gives me hope for the future of humanity.

Yeah. That’s the part that billionaires and health CEOs should be thinking more about. Plumbers with exceptional jumping ability are being created at a rate that should alarm them, in exchange for amounts of difference on the billionaire’s net worth that they’ll never even notice.

Social safety nets make everyone win, even the billionaires. We just have an exceptionally stupid crop of billionaires.

Turns out its really easy to get stupid people to hate things.

That’s going to be the byline of this entire era of history. Oof.

I want to protest, but if I miss work then I might lose my job

Great point.

A better option is to find and join your local union. You can do it quietly, and it might save your job someday. Even if it doesn’t, it’ll absolutely get you paid and treated better.

Yeah… Citizens United was a big coup for billionaires to put their thumb harder on the scales of injustice. I’m not sure any of this gets better while the billionaires aren’t terrified for their lives.

When I had that, I solved it by changing jobs. I loved my job, but everyone was stupid about work live balance and stress management. I realized after I changed that I really should have changed jobs sooner.

Thanks. I’m aware of that…

Most of the useless AI makes me giggle, because the idiots doing it will soon be fired. It will be briefly incredibly embarrassing for them before they fail upwards into a new role teaching people how to hire people to replace AI that didn’t work.

But this just makes me angry. Lots of people actually need government services and don’t have an alternative.

Just to be clear, the person answering Flatpaks isn’t being flippant. Any tools, editors or games that Mom wants, she can safely install by searching and clicking ‘intall’, all without enough permissions to harm her computer.

Linux, for less technical parents, is genuinely really nice, now.

Considering how difficult it still can be to get root on Android, I understand the shade, though.

Russian gravity does seem unusually politically motivated…

Yeah. I’m still looking for a good answer to create. There’s a huge number of technology mods in Luanti, but I haven’t found one with the same maturity, yet. If I find one that’s close, I may fork and update it, yet.

I think I’m most of the way to having AE2 replaced, for my needs, using Pipeworks and SWRobots.

The one redeeming aspect of how Putin constantly makes enemies is that he’ll never ever get to truly relax again.

Humans aren’t capable of keeping track of the number of people he’s harmed badly enough that they may someday do him violence.

He can never let his guard down, and will never be able to trust anyone.

If that man somehow dies peacefully, I’ll buy a lottery ticket the same day, because that would be a whale of a black swan event.

But that would be blanket fraud…

I would love to hear about the day TSA simply didn’t show up. Make this happen, folks.

All their options to deal with it are embarrassing for the stooges in charge.

The ones old enough to be aware of him are aware of the standard “we don’t take money from, or give money to billionaires” advice - for their own protection.

In addition, I’ve encouraged my kids not to stand too close to anyone who spends too much time doing “fuck around”, just in case that’s the day that person reaches “find out”, and there’s collateral damage.
