Ya. We used to be able to have a voice there. Now the minority conservatives are pushing out the majority liberals. Piece by piece.

I didn’t really realize I was middle aged until I hit 39. It’s been a blur for years. I’m finally making enough to possibly own a home soon. We’ll see how my work holds up in this economy. But honestly. I don’t even think about it. Just be you and take it one day at a time. Stop looking for tomorrow when it’s today.

This collapse when we only need 1/100 of what they are planning. Because not everyone is going to need a massive data center. Just like cars, computers and every other technology. It starts out diverse than shrinksssssssss.

I pay for Gemini and I haven’t used it in months. I don’t see any real case uses for me as an engineer. It just produces trash I have to fix and could have avoided if I did it myself in the beginning.

5 kids. Where two of them still need help into their 30’s and 40’s. He has never been good at finances. He has maybe enough for a decade. But not much after that.
- Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more 4 weeks ago:
I mean things like health insurance that is now exponentially more expensive since they didn’t fund the ACA. Since he will no longer have private insurance. He will be paying 4x more than he would have a year ago.

Boomer Trumper father is about to find out how he fucked himself by backing a felon after he lost his directorship job at 70 years old. No one is going to hire him now. And he is not ready for retirement. By miles.

I start a new remote job on Monday. It’s been a while since I was laid off. Just about 7 months. But I was lucky to find a firm looking specifically for a remote engineer in the specific support territory. Bingo!

I have the end of life’d JBL smart speaker. It still works with Google. But doesn’t have the bells and whistles. But it’s the best system I have ever come across. I have one Google screen and I don’t see the difference between the two. And the JBL has amazing sound.

3070 ti can be bought used and does the trick. Also you can find a PC on marketplace for a few hundred. And upgrade the GPU. You’ll get a PC going for just about what a console costs now.

My parents are the clowns that eat up not manipulation posts. I have never seen them go anywhere to eat. But somehow they were CB masters. Their friend group is just as stupid to. They buy into rage bait like children and most of us kids are just done with them. It’s pathetic.
