Enough of our people are insane to the point that this sounds reasonable. We’re sick and dumb and only getting worse.

Wherever you are, keep funding public health and public education to prevent this where you live.

Whether this fixes the OPs issue or not, this is a valuable post and my future self thanks you for making it as I’m sure I’ll hit similar problems eventually. And I thank you now!

I bet there’s some kind of kickback from Microsoft involved here. Maybe indirectly. Because the only reason I still have a Windows PC (just one left) is to play Fortnite with my kiddo. Every other PC and tablet is running Linux since October.

Oh good, because her happiness is always at the forefront of my mind. I was starting to forget since I know so many family members are jobless or working without pay, and don’t have much to eat. Or that the story above this was my profession being at 20-year employment low. Nope, I better make sure that a child sex trafficker is having a good time. Maybe not as good as Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, but as good as a child predator can be.

WHEW! We almost lost sight of what makes America great!

It’s odd that they consider the really specific case of a teen that works two jobs to make ends meet, and decide to make national sweeping changes to accommodate that. No, no way could it have any negative effect on anyone else. And they definitely shouldn’t try to address the problem of one job for that teen not being enough to support themselves.

THIS is what a union helps you do. To stop shit like this. This is an unthinkable possibility in the US because there’s no unions in any effective capacity.

Yeah, the problem is we’ve been kept powerless over big issues. When we found out about oil companies poisoning the earth, we SHOULD have had the power to put the whole company on trial. Instead they said our elected officials were the only option, and they did nothing. That’s an excellent point. We’re told we’re powerless, and kept that way… So they can be richer.

I’m sure the last thing to go through his head, other than a Ukrainian bullet, will be “at least I saved my family from being woke”.

Pretty sad.

Yeah, my first thought was the cops, too. That’s usually when the authorities hush up.

I learned to fix it. Before YouTube, that usually means not so great. But now, I usually do at least as good as a job as the people I’d hire.

Fixing stuff is easy, and you have to accept that there’s no perfect fix.

Ants, set out ant bait traps. Look outside and see if there’s a trail, follow it to the source, and spray it with ant poison.

Cracks, YouTube that. They may be nothing.

Leaks, if it’s plumbing, you can buy pipes at home Depot and replace them.

Granted, it will take a while. Maybe all day. But you’ll get an endorphin rush when it’s done and eventually you’ll come to know all the ins and outs of your house.

But it’s you look at it and it’s too big, Google a company to do it. Even if you’re halfway, and find you’re stuck. No shame in getting help. This shines you don’t have a family member or friend who’s already handy.

But really, if you can’t fix it, can’t afford to have it fixed, just do what you can to keep the house clean and work on it a little bit or put aside money till you can. That’s hard, but that’s owning a house. Like anything in life, it’s difficult. But it doesn’t have to stay that way, with enough time and practice.

You’re already smarter than many, asking for other’s opinions. Don’t suffer in silence. I believe in you!

Allegedly, he was given liquid capital by Russian oligarchs to buy Twitter when the courts ruled that he was obligated to buy it. He might be rich, but that kind of money wasn’t just sitting in his checking account. It was his company valuations.

Once he got tangled into Twitter, that’s when he seemed to really go off the deep end.

Pro Max, what an awful idea. Sure, there no ambiguity on what’s the highest tier, but “pro Max” sounds dumb. Just call it Max? Or call them Dell, Pro, and Max?

Which is probably still wrong, since they can’t mass produce maximum specs, given how fast they come out.

A lot of the actual, serious ones that knew what they were doing got caught. Some went to lulsec to be jerks with no agenda and were caught by the Feds. All that was left were script kiddies that downloaded the Low Orbit Ion Cannon and used scripts they find online. Then they left or were overtaken by alt right idiots.

The original Anonymous are in their 30s and 40s by now. Everyone ages out.
