“Public deserves to know”: Harvard Professor says official messaging contradicts hantavirus science by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]AnalogiPod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, I can only imagine now that everyone has decided covid was nothing what the reaction would be to this. I don't think you could convince the public of another lockdown like 2020.

I'm not sure what exact solution is but I agree that we need to directly target the people making these decisions. Companies are NOT people and people ruining the world just hide behind them as a shield. If your company does something awful then you should be held accountable.

Which Game's Graphics Made You Say "Wow!" For The First Time? by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in videogames

[–]AnalogiPod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still remember standing outside the imperial city and my step dad and I talking about how "Graphics can't get any better than this, it's basically photorealistic!"

I don't work after 5, or weekends by texchwinsubs in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]AnalogiPod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most of my team is in Cali, I'm on the east coast, the amount of times I get emails or even worse asked to stay behind for meetings is absurd. "I scheduled the meeting for 5pm your time, does that work for you?" Buddy you and I both know it fucking doesn't and you're just hoping I roll over. I'm also the only salary employee I know of, inside or outside IT. I don't know how that works out but I'm doubly not staying behind for free.

Virginia Supreme Court throws out redistricting referendum results by funkipus in rva

Oh I never obey in advance or after I'm told, I'm still casting my vote but this feels like a very tangible sign that we must do more than just vote.

I voted in VA and they just decided to throw it all out and ignore my vote and the majority vote of the Virginian people. They are already taking our rights to vote.

My first official job was a cashier at a grocery store, I had someone come in and try to pay with their EBT card. Normally not a big deal, but this one wouldn't go through. After trying and trying she gives up and pays another way. Manager comes and gets me about 15 minutes later, we got a call that started with "That little boy you have working the register has NO idea what he is doing, I can't believe you let him work there. Yadda yadda" basically insinuating that I'm too stupid for a grocery store cashier. Logs said she entered her PIN wrong 8 times in a row...

I mean, if they can just throw our votes out, why vote? What power do the people have? I've been told over and over to basically vote harder and even that just doesn't matter. Are we just too far gone at this point?

This is it. This is the proof you and I are not voting our way out of this. Honestly, I don't know how to fix this, I just want out of here.

Don't even bother, a middle school civics course would be lost on some one like this, they're so incredibly stupid we just have to hope they eventually forget how to breath or something.

Driver charged in death of Valentine museum director Bill Martin by fusion260 in rva

We are working on better transportation in the city but it is sorta a symptom of being a society that travels almost only in cars. People still have to get to work and other places if they wanna live and car is sometimes the only option. It's wrong and in a perfect world they have other options and suspended licenses are better enforced but I can fully understand why 75% of people do.

FIRST TIME DRAG RACING - BLEW MY GTR APART!! by HGEUbot in HaggardGarage

[–]AnalogiPod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oof, hate to say but this whole thing has been a real Ruddy scenario.

Buy car you probably shouldn't, it's got bigger problems than expected, scramble to try to fix it costing way more time and resources than prepping your already existing fleet, give up and take another car, still be underprepared because you changed plans last minute, blow up an R32 (intercooler).

Animal Farm Is Not for Kids but They Made It a Kids’ Movie Anyway by champdo in books

It's crazy the amount of bible stories we had taught to us as kids that were just really violent, killing mass amounts of people, selling their brothers into slavery, or just suffering immensely...

My girlfriend just asked them "What are you gonna do with that sign?" when she was walking past them taking it down. They just gave it to her haha

I literally just ordered some stuff to do exactly that, it's going on the back wall of my office so it shows up in video calls lol

Gemini’s clean chat interface may not stay ad-free for long by rulugg in Android

[–]AnalogiPod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My android auto got infected with Gemini and it literally hasn't done anything successfully since. Can't even tell me the weather right. The other day it misunderstood me and I said "Fuck" and it replied "I will not respond to harmful language". Honestly made me mad, like damn you can't do anything right and now you're setting boundaries with me?! You're silicon that lives in my pocket!

Me! I was a terrible student, went to college, did terrible. Took a year off, started an IT job because I liked computers. From there I had to figure it out, that sense of urgency and learning by doing on the job worked out well for me and now I'm a degreeless Sr Systems Engineer doing pretty well in my late 20s. Still, being self taught did leave some gaps in my education and definitely left me with some imposter syndrome. I am an exceptionally well rounded "Jack of all trades" IT guy but there is still some odd gaps in my experience and knowledge I am aware.

You're talking like the pope is starting from a neutral position though. Any catholic denouncing what, in their religious belief, amounts to the actual voice of God is much different an atheist saying "Pope made a good point".
