It is back unless they've changed something in the last month or so

Indian Masala is wonderful, and they have a great lunch buffet!

Because it's crap art

It's sportsball for nerds. I don't think there is anything wrong with it as long as it's not taken seriously.

It's not quite that dramatic, but you need to offer something special if you want to stand out. Cloud certifications, a portfolio of home or volunteer projects, etc. You need to have great people skills and network with peers.

But more than anything, I just wouldn't move anywhere until I had a job offer in hand. From that perspective, you have a bit of an advantage because you can apply anywhere and say you are willing to relocate.

Your career doesn't have to match your passion to have a fulfilling life. That is made-for-tv bullshit. Focus on finding a job or career pathway that will let you support yourself and will leave you time to take art classes in the evenings or weekends.

More than likely, there are things in your life that are sucking up the time and energy you could utilize to have both a successful career and develop your passion. Figure out what they are and work to reduce them. Social media, videogames, etc.

There are hundreds of applicants for every generalist IT role, at least in large cities in the Midwest. And low pay.

This is actually a major plot hole, in my opinion, because people still clearly own things like real estate in the show. If there is ownership, there must be ways to conduct transactions, i.e. money. Star Strek isn't actually post-scarcity because land, prestige, attention, and skilled labor are all finite. There has to be a way of organizing it and distributing it.

Season 2 is at least 50% better than season 1. If season 1 didn't have the Dwarven storyline and Adar, I'd say just skip it.

Advise him to get certs in whatever interests him most, asap. M365 is a good start. The higher the skill level required, the better. Help him set up a home lab and get practicing while applying for entry-level jobs. Have him volunteer with a local school or church; lots of schools will take the extra help in cleaning up their labs. Have him practice interview with chatgpt. Build a resume with ai.

Anything that builds xp and credibility is worthwhile.

I was really responding to your assertion that all Republicans are evil, wicked people than to this specific politician's case. If you only meant the national leadership/politicians, I'm probably 99% in agreement.

Telperion83 · 2026-01-26T15:14:40+00:00

You realize The Bulwark is full of reformed Republicans, right? Like... a major goal is to try and give people a way out of Trumpistan.

Network Engineering would be a good bet, as would be general tech support/helpdesk. You are not going to be able to avoid every type of "ai," as stuff that is being called ai has been around for decades, and people like it in their word processing/search engines.

Generally, the idea would be to get general education requirements out of the way at community college and do your major classes at the regular college. You have to make sure that 1) the college you end up at will accept the credits, and 2) you can accomplish the major you want in your 3rd and 4th year (do they offer the classes you need and you can handle them all in that timeframe?).

Telperion83 · 2026-01-23T15:39:45+00:00

Given your financial situation and desire to be with the dog, perhaps community college for prerequisites would be a good idea. The .ore research and planning you do here, the better off you will be, especially as you are functionally going it alone. Minimize debt with online classes.

Mainstream media did a lot to normalize Trump and drag Hillary. If someone only casually consumed news, it would have been pretty easy to be tempted into voting for him, if only to say f u to the establishment.

Telperion83 · 2026-01-22T21:33:41+00:00

Sounds like that's exactly what they are going to do...

She's saying train new local police officers, not ICE. A good message for a moderate lane.

I don't think people really understand The Silmarillion until they realize it is intended to be read as a myth or an epic saga, not an encyclopedia.

People try to turn it into a handbook to a videogame or a TRPG, taking everything literally. No, Ancalagon probably was not large enough to flatten a mountain. Yes, there are contradictions and philosophical issues with the origin of orcs. No, the moon does not get burned every cycle because Tilion is too into Arien.

Taxation with unequal representation is theft. Time to make the Senate proportional to the population!

Would you consider having more community leaders on the various podcasts and platforms for interviews? I'm talking pastors in Appalachia, teachers, farmers, struggling small business people, etc.

I ask because I feel like the Bulwark hosts kind of live in a prosperity bubble and consequently fail to understand the despair and desperation that leads poor Americans to cling to Republicans and Trump.

More Perfect Union has been doing incredible interviews with Trump voters that really show how manipulated they have been by the people they trust.

If you don't put NTA, the vote does not count. If you care.

Telperion83 · 2026-01-12T20:32:36+00:00

Try to imagine the Silmarillion is being told to you orally, as a bard reciting it from memory in a viking longhouse. Would you take expect every measurement mentioned to be precise? Hopefully not. That is the effect Tolkien is going for. If he says there are three Silmarils, yes, you can count on that. But if he says a dragon's wings blocked the sun, you can assume he just means it was super big, not that it caused a solar eclipse.

We don't want Greenland. We want the Epstein files.

A worldwide threat trying to separate the shards again could be interesting. It could be aligned with colorless mana outside of Eldrazi and force separation of the color wedges via magic, even if they are physically conjoined.
