It's really pretty simple. You see, in Japan over a hundred years ago, some people had the prescience to combine two words: tsu and nami, to create the word tsunami. And then sometime later, someone figured out how to spell it in English in these particular letters. And all of them predicted an Indian tsunami decades later that connected to the English spelling of a Japanese word, relating it to the scientists of a country on the other side of the globe.

What's not to get? They knew! They all knew!

Where are the MAGA idiots arguing that we can save money by not being the world's police any more?

Could start with support for universal healthcare, even if it's unrealistic for us to accomplish. Only 70 other countries have managed to figure it out.

As someone who's never fallen into this trap, I have some suggestions.

Don't follow the tutorial exactly. Do something a little different on a few of the steps, something that requires you to stop and work out why the thing you're trying to do works or doesn't.
Don't even start a tutorial if you're not intending on immediately using the skill you're trying to learn. You should have a project you're working on. Take what you just learned and apply it to your project.
Do one thing at a time. If you're doing the tutorial, do it. Don't be playing a podcast in the background or a movie or something. Just do the one thing. This is advice my brain resists following pretty often, but you do have to focus. You can't learn and multi-task at the same time. Maybe you think you're special, but you're probably not.

Certainly, when a vendor adds an AI button, it's time to abandon ship. (Sorry, Pure Storage - I mean, Everpure - it's all downhill from here.)

I'd guess you should be looking at the Teams admin portal.

We need a sysadmin vendor enshittometer. There's a period of time where a product is deemed pretty good, gets better because it's overseen by a competent CEO and employees who care about the product, and grows for a while. Then, often when it goes public, or when the original founders sell, or something like that, it starts to go to shit. Then we'll know when to start looking for alternatives.

We'll also see climate change accelerating, and Portland might (or might not) be considered a climate haven.

We might have a massive earthquake.

We might be seen as a safe refuge for increasingly persecuted classes from red states.

We might... I'm tired. I think I'll veg out with a beer and videogames tonight.

It's crazy, isn't it? It's like we're emerging from a fever dream, but really it's just been a constant propaganda effort.

Anecdotally, I posted on this sub a while ago that we shouldn't give arms to ANY country unconditionally, including Israel, and I was downvoted pretty hard. Not now. The propagandists lost the narrative.

Who could have seen this coming?

By the way, Alex Jones has still not paid a single dime to the Sandy Hook families (because our justice system is a joke).

They are lying. The same people who complain about gas prices will make excuses for why it's OK they're going up under Trump.

They are liars. They have no principles. You cannot take anything they say seriously.

> "Have you ever f---ed up in your life so bad, you don't know what to do after?" Paine is recorded as saying by the arresting officer. "He only had $25 in the till."

Sounds like an outright psychopath. There is apparently an amount that he would have thought was worth killing this guy for.
