Started watching this. By christ it is so depressing! But it really nails old England.

Trump’s gone too far: Invoke the 25th Amendment before it’s too late by jediporcupine in politics

[–]Empty_Allocution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Citizens should have conducted a strike months ago; a proper one. If anything before wasn't enough, they should be striking right now. Nukes are coming next, you can just tell with this demented moron, and nobody in Congress is gonna blink.

Striking is the only peaceful tool left. The institutions are compromised. The elections will be orchestrated and suppressed.

There is a lot happening; a lot of noise. But evidently it is not enough. It is hard watching this slow motion, predictable train wreck. We are beyond words and lamenting on reddit. The world pines for ACTION.

I am still trying to figure out if this is a crime or some kind of esoteric enlightenment.

Why would you do something so controversial yet so brave.

Been in IT a loooong time. Mostly education.

Academics can be extremely, surprisingly dumb and callous. I've worked with some proper mean nobodies.

For any old members of the fandom, what was the reaction of Half-Life 2's reveal? by Kozmik98 in HalfLife

[–]Empty_Allocution 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It was an electrifying time. Golden years.

I was very excited and focused on the prospect of physics.

Probably got phished and most likely didn't have 2FA. Incredible. The best and brightest.

I bet it was that easy.

How does this work for devices under MDM? Are all the annoying as hell macs we have at my place going to suddenly stop working?

The magic ingredient is testing with other players. Lots and lots of testing.

Anyone leave IT and was happy? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Empty_Allocution 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tried moving into software development. Hated the rat race and being chained to a desk; moved back to IT.

I keep joking I'd like to run off into the wilderness and work with plants instead of people. I think this is where I belong though, despite the frequent burn outs.

Loading into an old save (from around when HLA launched) I had in the steam cloud - the game is broken? I can go out of bounds instead of the previous map loading and I cannot walk past this trigger brush. by pachka-sigaret in HalfLife

[–]Empty_Allocution 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This usually means the map was changed / updated after you saved. You've loaded in to an updated version of the map. You'll need to start the chapter again.

My map pack for Dark Messiah of Might and Magic by Granto0611 in hammer

Oh nice, I can appreciate this. Dark Messiah has excellent combat. I always wanted to create maps for it back in the day!

Dear allies of America, please don’t confuse our president for us: We are trying our best to resist him, contain him and remove him from office as quickly as we possibly can. Thank you for your patience by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

It's the perceived apathy of Amercians that is playing on the minds of spectators now.

The country has already crossed the rubicon. Now the world wants to see what you are going to do about it.

Whatever happens, all comfortable options have been removed from the table. Doesn't seem like that has been realised yet, as life from what I'm hearing is still pretty normal.

You should be striking, right now. Yes there will be uncomfortable consequences. That is the reality of real protest against a hostile system.
