Linux needs to be a Canadian goose. Those cobra chickens are just fine when you let them do their thing and ignore all the shit left behind cause you’re not sure it’s important to the planet, but the moment you start to mess with it and you don’t know what you’re doing they will fuck you up!

Maybe, just maybe, Comcast should have spent all those government subsidies to update its infrastructure to full fiber and not bullshit like packet shaping, inspection and throttling to improve its bottom line and stop customers from using to the fullest extent the very thing we were paying for.

Before I moved, the local government subsidized fiber came into my neighborhood in 6 months (I was pretty far out there in the burbs) and I had 4gbit fiber for $80 a month compared to the forced triple play package I was locked into so I could have the fastest speed from Comcast (800mbit/30mbit) for astounding $350 a month. Top that off, I had a data cap I nearly exceeded monthly of 1tb and that cost and additional $50 for “unlimited“.

So good riddance Comcast/xfinity.

People are shity sometimes. I’m one that goes to an address if that’s the expectation. But there are items I almost never sell in person from my home, electronics being one.

My mother had a garage sale (total American thing I’m sure) and was robbed a few weeks later by someone taking an unusual amount of time “shopping“ with her phone out. The gal was a fool, had recordings on her phone of her and the places she was going to rob with address. After a month or so of this, she was caught and her phone searched where they found 20+ videos of other houses where they looked at stuff that would make for easy theft from the garage.

Lessons here are you need to decide who do you let in your home and I know it’s a lot to do with culture. Europe has some social support in place, the USA just says good luck and fuck off.

I think my message was more or less, stop worrying about the price of the pitchforks. Just take them because if don’t fix this soon, history will see this as the time we failed to rise up against fascists because we couldn’t afford pitchforks as an excuse.

Folks, I’d like to remind every that history is written by the winners.

After 40? Lmfao. People, just take the time to care for yourself. Eat balanced meals, don’t over eat, stop watching TV all the time and go for a walk.

Take it from someone nearing 50 who took gluttony to the max by 35. I feel better today, than I ever did in my younger adult years because I stopped being a typical american.

Seriously, has no one thought of the shareholders!??!

I mean, as a bald man I no longer need to answer the question “does the carpet match the drapes?”. Solving problems, the best way.

New loans pay off the old loans. The cycle repeats. Seriously, if you zoomed out and looked, the billionaires and some upper 9 figure millionaires are in debt against their assets which clears on death. But the debt itself is low interest, and the assets are appreciating faster. Its one reason they say “hit a million and never worry about money”, though I think that number is like 5mil now.

You never actually spend your money…

Buy, Borrow, Die!

You know you can just compost it, no need to eat something bad for you.

Looks like fun.

I’ve walked out of interviews that had these popular puzzle questions in the 00s. The company you’re interviewing for is not testing you for your job, it wants a corporate drone that is ok with bureaucracy and can navigate the red tape they’ve put in place.

Really a waste of time, but if I run into this at my age now I ask if they can tell me how their company is making something for the betterment of human kind.

Cool

Think of it like pay per view tv. We subscribe to the MadMax channel and watch as they tear themselves apart. Are You NOT ENTERTAINED!?!?

Lmfao. No

Meh. I like to cook and it’s far better than the uber eats slop that I need to reheat that I just spent $35 plus tip on which would have cost me $14 to just eat at the restaurant but I wanted the free fries and bogo burger when I spent $30.

“I don’t travel on potentially doomed subs without these 10 things from amazon, you won’t believe how cheap number 1 is!!”

Capitalism… At some point people need to realize they are working to make others richer. From the products you buy to the products your company makes, just stuff designed to break and not worth spending on. Even new houses today have a shortened life. Anyone buy one recently and see the contract term estimated life of the house is about 60years?!? Yep folks, the house you’re dropping 500k+ on it expected to last about 60 years.

This might be a left vs right comic, but the issue doesn’t matter in the end because capitalism is going to fuck us all over.

MAGA is just #newchristian hate

There’s a version of the bible they’ve been pushing that adds some “truth” to these nasty attitudes. And people love to shove it in your face “see!?! It’s printed here, it has to be true!!!”
