Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve never seen anything of value posted on mastodon or Twitter. The format doesn’t seem to create meaningful discussions

One big reason is because minorities tend to be left leaning. This is one of the reasons people are against Puerto Rico becoming a state.

A few years ago a pretty big state university I worked at didn’t use any kind of NAT. They had such a large public network space(a lot of universities do) that they would just give hosts public IPs. You could go home and just RDP into your desktop. Universities can be a wild wild west.

When people complain about Windows in a work environment, I wonder really what their complaints are. I mean I don’t like windows either but at the end of the day you’re just using visual studio and maybe a terminal emulator to access your work. Your codebase is on a test server or production server.

That said, my mind was blown when I used my first mac. Even the best windows laptop I’ve been given at work would maybe last 4 hours without charging. I can use my Mac for almost two days without charging it which makes going to the office that much easier when I can sit outside. I don’t know if Windows is just extremely inefficient with its resource management or of it’s all the bullshit spyware companies bloat every PC with but if the company absolutely won’t let you install a Linux desktop OS I’d just ask for a Mac. Plenty of staff use them at universities

Thanks, that’s good advice, I’ll see if I can see a psychiatrist directly. I assume that doesn’t require a referral

Dang that’s simple. Props, I’ll give it a try Thanks

Nah, I mean, sharing this on LinkedIn is basically a “humble brag”, LinkedIn is all about marketing yourself as a professional brand. If she needed an outlet she’d discuss this with a friend, a coworker, or even an actual social media platform. It’s basically like “I can’t stop crushing goals, my husband is content just existing, is there something wrong with me? Why am I such a beast? Why is he content being lame? Anyone else feel this or am I in a minority of overachievers?”

Not even bringing up the fact that this is very publicly scrutinizing her husband, or at the least, airing out her laundry. I’d be furious if someone shared a private, intimate conversation just to make a point for social media validation. But then again, I’m a pretty private person.

I think if she was actually crushing her goals, she’d do so in silence. That’s what most overachievers actually do.

All you need is a french press and they’re pretty cheap. You just put the coffee and water in the fridge overnight 8-10h and it’s good by morning. Way better than regular coffee imo. I’m sure there’s snobbier ways to make cold brew but I value simplicity

Bill Burr is probably the only person I know of who didn’t completely change once he got rich and famous, he’s a national treasure at this point

I’m pretty sure the only anti lgbtq comments bill burr has ever made was a bit about how when you watch something intimate the mind tries to place you in the scenario and when it’s two guys kissing it’s really hard to stomach, but Bill Burr has always leaned left and I honestly doubt he cares in the slightest about other people’s gender or sexuality

So they can take pictures, duh

I read the story and found it very entertaining. I’m not sure what impact it had on me, but it made me marvel at the idea of the inevitability of fate and how often our suffering and regrets of the past are the reason we’re regarded so highly by others.

How did it strike you?

The university AND jstor were pretty quick to get as uninvolved from that mess as quick as possible, so it really doesn’t matter… But what you’re saying has nothing to do with the case and is also not true. “Broke and entered” implies forced physical access into a clearly forbidden area. The network closet was a room that was left unlocked and was frequently used by janitorial staff to put junk in.

I mean my vote hasn’t mattered in the last 2 elections. My state hasnt flipped blue since Obama. There’s a lot of situations where voting is a waste of time. Making that not be true is what’s going to increase voter turnout, not trying to shame them for something they’re not responsible for

What’s the point of saying that here? If you’re an American who could vote and you’re on Lemmy there’s a 99.9% chance you voted blue. But even if that weren’t the case, all of this transpired while we had a Democrat in office, so it’s just a horrible continuation of an already existing trend

It’s not really so much about the party moving “left” as much as them not appealing to their base or representing their constituents’ ideals. Kamala was asked if she’d done anything differently than Biden and she said no. When most Americans are facing economic uncertainty, that’s about the worst thing you can possibly say. People vote for change and they weren’t willing to sell that. They too went on TV and said the economy is great because of the stock market.

The party has no teeth, they’re not willing to talk about major issues like economic inequality because they too have to bend the knee to the oligarchs. Bernie had the right idea by fundraising on grassroots but the party seems to think they can keep toeing the middle and appeal to the “moderate Democrat” which simply doesn’t exist.

Is this a joke? ICE is never going to target business owners and even if ICE did, they’d face no punishment.

That’s a matter of opinion, but I will say that at least on computer, any kind of gaming will improve your mechanical skill. I’m grateful to have started using PCs and gaming at a young age

Why call me out like this
