Guy wouldn’t know majesty if it bit him in the face!

-that happened once

Computer over. Virus = very yes

Pretty similar to what’s going on with Twitter right now.

In the end, nothing. I had a good solid 9 months of a job I loved, with decent enough pay. But then tanks to corporate execs laid off the entire IT team and outsourced it to a staffing company and reduced the size of the team from 100+ to about 8.

I’m still there because I still need the pay, but now it’s just like every other garbage corporate job out there. Miserable and soul sucking.

Ah it was easy enough to get the iron key unlocked during post, as those HP servers take forever to boot, problem was the bios couldn’t recognize the USB. Whatever firmware is on it that does the security confused the system, and while it saw the drive, it didn’t know what it was and wouldn’t boot from it. In both uefi mode, and in legacy bios mode

One thing I can tell you, it’s that you can’t use them as bootable drives to install an OS from. And if you try to pass the USB connection from an ESXi host to a VM on it, it won’t work.

Aside from that, they’re really annoying to work with.

I actually liked .hack//sign

I think it’s a mindflyer parasite. If you hear it talking to you, make sure not to listen.

They actually didn’t come with memory cards. Sony back then was just as money hungry as they are now. You had to buy them separately. They were around $20 or $25 for a Sony branded one, but you could get 3rd party ones for cheaper.

Man, I can’t wait until the day I don’t exist anymore. My existential crisis is that I’m currently forced into existing.

Any position in a corporation other than executive.

Yeah, but over $1k is less than $6K. So… Worth it?

Oh man, my friend bought that game and has been trying to get us to play it, but I had twins, and have not more time for board games. It looked fun though

When he wanted to remind us to turn off lights, he’d yell “save electrodes!”

When he was splitting wood with the “kabunger” (splitting maul) he’d yell “katabuungie!” When he swung.

When he’d drop wood on his toe he’d yell “GOTDAMMITSONOFABITCHGRAAH”

Yeah I’m definitely cynical by this point. The state of the world has me made sick. While I believe that our influence is very limited, I also believe so too are our options. I’m just upset that we’ve gotten back to the point in our history where getting people mad is all we’ve got. The only real end we’re heading towards is violence, and I don’t like it.

Yeah unfortunately that is the only way they’ll listen. So getting people mad is the only option we have. It’s just a shame that we’ve cycled back to this state.

Can the fediverse help? That depends, how much money does the fediverse have? How much is the fediverse willing to spend to stop it?

That’s the real question. Spreading information is great, but as we’ve seen the only thing is does is make more people angry when they bad bills go through.

People with money don’t care about how many people are angry, we’ve been shown that time and time again. They’ve even stopped pretending they listen to us anymore.

Idk man, I’ve never gotten married and it’s been fine for me. My girlfriend and I have been together for 14 years, have 2 kids, and our family is all that has kept me going through this shitty world. Never married though, so many there is some truth to the advice.

Most of the time I see is this when the one paying for the work doesn’t have to deal with the outcome. I’ve been straight up told by my manager at work that “I don’t care who does the work. Any joe schmoe can do it, as long as we’re not financially liable if something does go wrong.” When talking to him about fire system maintenance.
