- Comment on Are you better off than you were four years ago? It can be a murky picture for many 3 days ago:
Absolutely not… groceries and restaurant (including fast food) has been crazy expensive. Everything, everything we buy on a monthly basis @ Costco and Sam’s Club has gone up in price. And now property tax has gone up because of inflation (that’s how they justified the property tax increase in the letter we’ve received a few months back)… so our local government gets a bump by stealing our money due to inflation.

Damn… thanks for the explanation!

Did the batter die from extreme heat or due to the driver failing to charge the vehicle promptly?

You mean, non-electrical… not non-mechanical.

Just using stimulus alone will achieve erection.

The borders were technically a theory… an idea. It wasn’t even officially established until Israel gained military might, if I remember correctly.

“mowing the lawn” as the Israelis call it.
- Comment on So is Israel just going to finish Palestine off? 6 days ago:
It definitely cannot defeat Hezbollah. Much less combined with other parties, Hamas, Houthis, whatever is coming from Iraq. As far as I can tell… Israel has already lost. Mainstream media isn’t even providing its viewers/readers of the actual number of IDF casualties. It’s definitely not in the hundreds.
Also, I have a feeling that Middle East nations will begin uniting, abandoning Western powers - their influences.

The conspiracy about the moon is that under a thin layer of dust… it’s really all metal. /shrug
- Comment on Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else” 1 week ago:
That’s cool… I rarely get sick though. And for something like the flu? I rather depend on my immune system. Maybe when I’m 60 or 70 years old. Or when I get sick more frequently, I’ll take medication more seriously.
- Comment on Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else” 1 week ago:
I dont… use social media. This and telegram are the closest thing to social media I use.

Nah… after leaving the org in the Bay area, I joined a new org this Jan… it’s no longer the terrorist we thought it was.

You still get infected…
Wait a minute, are you people under the impression that the vaccine protected you from getting covid and spreading covid?
Is that what’s happening here?
- Comment on Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else” 1 week ago:
Yeah, me too. In the end it turned out great for me and my family. Literally that job in the Bay allowed us to save even more money allowing us to buy a large property.
Pssst… people were still getting the flu after their vaccines, after multiple vaccines. You know what the flu did to me? Literally, lost of taste. I couldn’t taste salt. I’ll personally take that a million times over.
Stay salty, brah.

That’s a really rudimentary question for a religious person to ask. But then again nothing really surprises me anymore.

There’s ongoing class action suits in the U.S., I don’t know when that information becomes public.
- Comment on Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else” 1 week ago:
I believe it was a blessing. One door shut, another one, a few months later opened. I had to move from Southern California to the Bay… where my salary was a little more than 1.5x the previous salary and this company, a video game developing company, interestingly, didn’t have such requirements in order to work there or come into office (it was like 90% remote work, only came into office to work on projects with my team).
Nope, they didn’t have the last laugh. Good thing I didn’t sign the NDA either at the time of termination.

Good.
In my case, it was pretty effed up and I know some of yall are going to dislike this comment. When covid hit, I was instructed by the CIO to put a plan together to quickly make every employee remote accessible to the organization. Upon completing this project (took roughly 3 weeks since majority of employees were working off laptops and only needed to increase our VPN license count - gotta love Cisco), people were asked to work fully remote and if they needed to come into work, they just needed to send an email for approval from their manager to come into the office the following day.
When an employee comes into the office, at the entrance they had to either show their vax card or get their temperature checked, if the employee had a vax card, they were allowed to go to their assigned desk to work, if you did not have a vax card and didn’t have a high temperature, you were sent to a designated area of the building to work from, you were allowed to go to your desk to get any belongings you’d need then come back to the designated area.
After 3 months of this, the company had a new policy, all employees must be vaxxed in order to enter the building, no exceptions. If the employee worked remote, no problem you weren’t required to be vaxxed. The CTO tells me that I need to communicate to the entire IT team that we will now be RTO (returning to office) permanently, this included project managers… IT is a set of departments that majority can easily work remote. A small portion could come into office to do any hands on work but because the hands on work was done within a specific region of the building it would require these employees to be vaxxed and to provide proof of it. So the CTO decided instead of targeting a small handful of IT professionals, he would just get the entire IT team to get vaxxed and come back into office permanently.
I told the CTO that I don’t plan to get vaxxed, I’d rather ride it out. And that other team members felt the same. The CTO gave me an ultimatum. I told him I will send out an IT wide email but that’s the only command I will obey. Flat out, CTO tells me anyone who doesn’t get vaxxed will be terminated. So I and 4 others got terminated two weeks later.
And now, companies around the U.S. are getting sued for their employer-imposed vaccine mandates.
Last laugh, bitch.

Maybe? I created a Rumble account sometime last year, I tried using it a bit… it was okay. I tried finding some of my favorite content creators, found a handful then just stopped using Rumble. I’ve used it when it’s content that YouTube would normally block.

Dood… thanks for posting this. I’ve got some researching to do.

I would not forward anything from GMail to another email provider. Google is intrusive. They have no reason to know anything about my new email address. But I’m overreacting and that’s okay.
- Comment on I Don’t Want To Spend My One Wild And Precious Life Dealing With Google’s AI Search - Aftermath 1 month ago:
Facts. GMail took me about 4 months or so, just incrementally logging in and checking every service and subscription I have attached to GMail, logging into that account and changing the email address to my new email address. It’s a tedious task but worth it. Google is far too intrusive, imo.

Hoping to phase Google products out of my life. I think the challenge will be YouTube. Hopefully Rumble becomes more popular and has as good if not better features than YouTube.
- Comment on iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes 1 month ago:
Indeed. But Apple does have the tech to analyze images/videos:
Apple’s CSAM detection capability is built solely to detect known CSAM images stored in iCloud Photos that have been identified by experts at NCMEC and other child safety groups.
