Insomnia and sleep paralysis over here. Occasional OBE as well.

I must have them all.

I do. It’s better than suffering.

What research? There are lots of folks with crippling debts. I know tons of people who will never be rid of their’s. As an engineer, I have never known job security. Who wamts to worry about losing their job every day? But I notice plenty of guys making a lot more than me since trades have a serious shortage of workers. Electricians around here charge whatever they want because there is not enough of them. Hospitals around here are bought up by one entity, so nurses can’t quit and make more money elsewhere. Teachers are quitting in droves such that it’s become a national crisis. But then there are plumbers making 6 figures.

Half the country is illiterate. Cherish you education folks. America is what it looks like when too many people don’t have one.

I’ve been thinking about subscribing to a news site. Similar to email, I would rather pay than see the propaganda. 404 was one I was considering. I have several Ghost publications I’m watching to figure out which one I want.

The Ublock codes will be useful, though. Thanks for sharing!

I use FOSS browser and have antifingerprinting enabled. I get this constantly. I think it also might have something to do with blocking the tracking parts of the url directs.

If they wanted to address the education gap, wouldn’t they? Why would they want to when trades provide more money, no lost income for 4-5 years, or a crippling debt? Women are at a disadvantage there. I mean, I definitely don’t want to minimize overlooked hardships, but…

Too bad the Lord doesn’t just rapture them really quickly.

To be fair, they are actually banning dyes in food. That only took decades.

Dems are no longer relevant, in my opinion. We get either a religious finatic Heritage Foundation zealot, or a psychopathic, unethical, pompous, misogynist, rascist, techbro dork. Free elections will probably never happen again.

If the shoe fits…

Making us destitute is the point. Russian propaganda got us all.

Destruction is the point. It’s a success.

I mean, ladders exist too. What a bunch of idiots. Americans are drooling stupid.

Yeah, the UBI suggestion is nonsense. The techbros are so unethical that we can never trust them to treat others well if they can steal or manipulate.

Even with a monarchy, people had red tape. And making the gov into a giant corp is way worse for workers. What a nightmare! They just made techbro executives into Army lieutenants today. There were 3 of them from like Meta, Palantir, and OpenAI IIRC. We’re so cooked.

I see what you did there. ;)

No, I need to kick balls because I need to buy multiple sets of tools instead of one, and if you’re integrating systems, and another engineer didn’t read the unit requirements, shit doesn’t work and we have to stop and troubleshoot. Check the other conversions. If I asked you how many feet in a mile or slugs in gravity, can you tell me off the top of your head? Nobody wants to stop and look up crap to get stuff done. What is 12C in F? Who the fuck knows. Do I need a sweater on my trip? Let me go back and find my phone to see. Oh shit it’s not charged. Let me open my laptop because some fuckass with balls intact decided to troll everyone with arbitrary bullshit.

Oh. I didn’t know that. Most folks there are not active duty. Thanks for explaining. That guy must have been a new recruit to get out.

Tell that to Russia.
