Yeah, I have a lot of droughts of work. But also, my job is babysitting a little data center. If I don’t have things to do, its technically a good thing because it means everything is working right.

I also get a lot of praise from management for how great I am at my job, ahich feela really weird sometimes because I have had weeks where I basically did nothing. Hell in December we have a lot work freezes so nothing breaks and all the routine work for the year is done so sometimes jts an entire month of basically nothing.

I often spend the time learning new stuff so thats kind of work related.

Yeah, even just growing them are better. I thought I hated Cherry Tomatoes, but then I had some off my own plant and they taste so good.

Yeah, if we end up with cheap trash bags by mistake I find the rim always rips apart when I go to take out the trash and I end up using a second trash bag anyway.

My retirement plan is similar but it’s more that Climate Crisis is going to cook us all alive before I need to retire.

Russia I believe is the primary provider of Asbestos.

Also, these jokers basically believe anything that might have been pushed for protecting people is garbage because it ruins profits.

Eh, useless meetings are great for timesheet filler while playing Pokemon Go.

These idiots are so drunk on their own Kool aid that everyone in government is useless and corrupt and not actually working and that it’s all a “waste.”

Also that zillions of people are on government support that should not be, nevermind that its people, exactly like Musk, who have run their shitty corpos in such a way that people can’t afford to exist anymore without government assistance.

I mean, technically he is right, there are a ton of people who should not be on government programs, that are, because profit profit profit companies have made life miserable and those people don’t have a choice.

I have no idea about Google, I don’t use it, but Alexa, fuck Alexa is just more and more and more awful. It barely hears you, it does the wrong thing, it seems to just, forget timers. The other day my wife asked “What is the weather on Sunday” and it started rattling off about the weather in San Diego. Like, no, WTF Alexa.

Vance would be worse. He is an actual politician and a believer in the Project 2025 bull shit. Trump probably would not have even run if he had not been staring down 100 barrels of jail time.

Hell, where the fuck is Trump?

Granted, I am absolutely not seeking him out, but it felt like he was everywhere in his first term with his stupid idiot rambling speeches.

But this round it’s all DOGE and Musk and maybe, something more vague about what the “Trump Administration” is doing, but it feels like Trump isn’t even around.

Hell, the other day I was wondering if he had died of a heart attack or something but they were just keeping the body locked up and pretending he was alive while Musk destroys the country.

I am not a professional coder, just a hobbyist, but I am increasingly digging into Cybersecurity concepts.

And even as an “amature Cybersecurity” person, everything about what you describe, and LLM coders, terrifies me, because that shit is never going to have any proper security methodology implemented.

And people will claim "You can’t measure them that way because stocks etc "

Except you can.

Take their “worth” on December 31st of year X and their “worth” on Jan 1st of that same year X, subtract December from January, that’s their “Income.”

Tax that shit at 100% for anyone in the billions range.

We have a word for this, it’s Libertarian. Its the cancer at the core of everything wrong in the world today.

Fuck I will take Bowser at this point.

He is an open mysiginist and racist and the large number of closeted bigots in the US love him for it.

Except at this point, they are not even closeted anymore.

He already wants to replace everything in the US with Blockchain and Crypto scam shit doesn’t he?

I am not even a fan and I found the show enjoyable.

Its also, honestly, just really hard to find people on Mastodon.

I even purposely avoided the free Fortnite Cybertruck.
