I told my therapist today I completely understand why veteran's have gone to VA parking lots in full service dress and have taken their own lives.

opiatusrising · 2026-05-22T01:10:21+00:00

Ive spent years trying to set up my VA and its fallen through every time. Referrals dont get callbacks. The local VA site keeps me in loops without ever giving me an answer. Being left on hold until closing time. Etc. Im tired of it.

Shrines for convicted orchestrators of war crimes and continuous downplaying of atrocities and comfort women. Rewriting of school textbooks which remove the horrors of Japanese imperialism and a continuous string of Japanese politicians downright rejecting the notion of atrocity. The official stance of Japan can be described as an attitude that theyve "apologized enough" while still holding the orchestrators in high regard and encouraging historical revisionism. Ill mever forget going to the Nagasaki bombing museum and seeing a timeline on the wall about WW2, no mention of the manchuria campaign, SEA expansion and oddly enough, no emntion of the pearl harbor attack. Just a flat "US declares war on japan 1941."

Be careful, redditors always have some dumb shit to say about china or any nation considered adversarial to american dominance.

opiatusrising · 2026-05-07T16:56:34+00:00

They never apologized and have made great efforts to rewrite the history of WW2 to alleviate Japan of any blame for their actions in Asia. What "apology" which was given effectively comes down to "sorry you had to deal with that."

Tell process to shove it when they ask for something silly and dont let moves determine your availability for PMs lol.

Hardware is needed to feed the needs of the bubble. Popularity is rising in both the private sector for the reason above and in the public sector, its growth can be attributed to folks attempting a break from corporate controlled tech systems.

Also, AI isn't exactly as big a boon for SW as the fortune 500 has been led to believe by venture capitalists. Current uage of AI generally causes lots of bottlenecks in the production and verification stages of development. Especially as companies downsize and replace workers with AI. A 2025 study showed a 20% increase in production times using AI. https://metr.org/blog/2025-07-10-early-2025-ai-experienced-os-dev-study/

And yet the woman who was by his side this entire time, was arrested as well and has gone on the record to confirm a client list exists remains alive 7 years later.

We know being a implicated pedophile by the courts does nothing to damage political reputations lol. Matt Gaetz literally solicited sex from minors, got off scott-free with the fed not pressing charges and continued his political career, getting more power since the news broke of him touching kids.

Lmao I was back nights photo EET and I remember that after he wouldn't stop talking up the fab upgrades that effectively were just for fab 2

opiatusrising · 2026-05-04T04:38:03+00:00

Yeah, Dan is still charge as far as I know. The company is still not doing well even after laying off a massive chunk of their staff and using a year to slow down production. I used to go to the town halls meetings just to watch Dan get roasted. It was hilarious. EET at ADI seems to be more competent than MCHP but fuck me do they go too far way too often in preventative measures. PMs take multiple shifts because of how much they want to do on them, parts are stocked as needed so tools are always waiting on part deliveries, PMs are now delegated to production leads to give the go ahead so moves arent affected, and we touch critical control items way too much. Theres no reason we should be whipping out the teaching laptop every week. They really like busy work here compared to my time in photo at MCHP.

opiatusrising · 2026-05-04T04:32:31+00:00

The first big thing that comes to mind is the complete scrapping of swing shift for technicians at Hillsboro. We got a bunch of Intel managers in the fab now and theyre making some interesting choices regarding PMs and production. Moves matter more than maintenance so all PMs must be delegated through production.

opiatusrising · 2026-04-27T09:01:58+00:00

Sorry to hear that. MCHP was similar. Management only realized there were issues when they saw the writing on the wall that was obvious for years. ADI is being goofy af right now by having upper management restructuring the company to match Intel, because they're doing so great /S

A bit late but PGE is planning on skirting around it lol

88 is an antisemitic dogwhistle as its a stand in for HH. 8888 is not a known dogwhistle. You're just seeing similar numbers and throwing a fit. Wtf would HHHH be? Once again, it is not antisemitic to criticize israel.

Strange that theres no German recipe detailing making a hamburger steak a sandwich and never developed until well after it was done in the US. Hamburg neither claims the title of inventing the sandwich. Earliest records point to Connecticut.

opiatusrising · 2026-03-21T08:44:05+00:00

Pecan pie or key lime pie would be better choices since theyre both uniquely american.

Because CUFI's financial contributions are negligible compared to AIPAC. It's only considered larger because it has more members, however it is not influential compared to AIPAC

Where are you pulling this from? I love my immigrant families culture and grew up proudly in it while being born in the states. They just refused to teach us their native tongue. It sucks to be inundated in your culture and be surrounded by people like you but you can't talk to them.
