Not the US, but I have an acquaintance who is a “Christian”. She’s an immigrant. She goes to church with mostly nonwhite immigrants. She’s extremely racist, among other things. You can’t make that shit up 🤷🏻

Ah, this brings back memories of flashing Android with various kernels and ROMs.

That is my setup. Plus VPN to home on phone.

These heated products are okay for home useage. But my feet usually don’t warm up when walking outside in cold and these things aren’t very durable in that sense. Maybe I should just move closer to the equator. Kidding! I can’t handle heat either 😞

I have issues with keeping my feet and hands warm (they tend to be ice cold), so socks that could keep my feet warm would actually be magic 😭

For me the only thing I look in new phones now is camera quality, since I only take photos and video with my phone. If that was upgradeable, it would be awesome. Plus, now even Android is getting the Apple treatment this year, everything is just getting shittier.

I deployed several docker containers using an image from this one guy. Later when I needed help with an image I realized the support is provided exclusively through a Discord server. To nobody’s surprise the guy is an asshole who shouldn’t interact with users.

Mojeek was a huge miss for me. Search results were mostly irrelevant to my search queries. I’ve yet to find any search engine that isn’t trash, though.

Yeah, that’s usually what we did (I worked in support). But even then, we had several other verification steps, so random people couldn’t easily abuse the system. Which used to include account number, among other things.

Because your phone number might not be connected to the account you want the info on.

My father would beg to differ. Some of the things I’ve heard: “who’s going to take care of you when you’re old”, “the undesirable immigrants with 5+ children will take over and ruin Europe”. He also told me I was being selfish when I was barely 18 for stating I didn’t want to have children because carrying a child for 9 months and childbirth terrify me. That shit still terrifies me to this day, on top of all the other reasons why I still don’t want to have children.

Also, according to him the feelings a parent has for their child are “unexplainable”. That must be why my mom and and his mom were more a part of my childhood than he was!

I can tell you there are some who believe he is the Antichrist. At least that’s what I heard an acquaintance of mine say, and their church/ community believes the same. However, this isn’t in the US, which is kind of even more WTF to me, lol.

I typed in “o” or “oz” in the win11 start menu to search for an app. Instead, the menu gave me internet results, with the first one being “ozempic”… This was on my work machine, lol.

Time for some Horizon: Zero Dawn style Vantage points.

I want to add it’s especially difficult if you work in a field that’s dominated by the opposite gender. My partner and I work in the same field. He’s made a few friends at work, because they’re all guys and connected over guy things.

On the other hand, I’m the only woman in my department, younger than all my male coworkers. The very few women that work in the company I don’t click with either due to language barrier or (mostly) completely different interests.

And then my partner points fingers as if I don’t want to make friends. All of his actual, IRL friends are either school or work friends. People who have friends mostly from childhood or school underestimate how difficult it is to find new ones outside work as an adult. Especially if you’re not into partying and drinking alcohol.

It’s insane, isn’t it? Especially when it comes from a fellow woman.

I had a pre-syncope and could barely get out of bed for a week and a half. When I told my doctor I’m worried about it reoccurring because I don’t know the cause of it, she just smiled and said that’s something that would be hard to diagnose and that I shouldn’t live in fear. And I’m like ??? Your job is literally to diagnose. I also have a few chronic illnesses, so I tend to feel up and down. She straight up told me it’s just anxiety and I should be grateful I don’t have any serious illnesses.

Unfortunately, she’s not the only one like that. Just recently I had a doctor tell me such nonsense that’s debunked with a 2 second internet search that I questioned whether he got his license off Temu.

Too many misogynists and narcissists in the field.

Gentrification.

You know that the oldest had to parent the younger ones and will never have kids of their own. For reasons.

Thanks for reminding me about this gem.
