I don’t know if you like podcasts, but Know Your Enemy is a take on the right from two leftists who used to be conservatives who approach it from an intellectual POV.
I linked to the political magazine that helps support them since it gives some rundowns of their topics that might give you some of the sources that can be read instead of listening to their podcast, if you’d prefer.
No, no, you see, it’s actually so empowering for the worker because they can quit at any time with no notice! Isn’t that so empowering! In fact, I almost think that the balance of power goes too far in the workers favor on this and we need to give some of it back to the poor employers who are just always walking on eggshells since they can be quit on at any time!
/s just in case
It’s so insane that anyone can argue that at-will employment is anything other than a shitty employer’s wet dream.
I’m a millennial that doesn’t like avocado at all, so, speaking of disgraces!
We managed to get a house, but there are also 3 of us with no kids, I can’t imagine managing with two people in todays economy. We got in just before the rates skyrocketed in 2021, the house price is basically what the inflation calculators say the original owners bought it for decades ago, so, there’s that at least, that we only paid the equivalent of the original list price for a 5-6 decades old house with decades of shoddy repairs such as every single plug with a ground having the ground pin tied to the neutral!
It’s a real rough time out there right now though with ownership out of the realm of possibility for so many :-\
ok, Millennial … look at you over there ::checks notes:: loving the woman you married! What a disgrace!
Seriously though, best of luck through this and hopefully the 1st Amendment is upheld
ETA: Not sure on your age here, was just a joke to play on the boomer ‘wife bad’ stereotype that in my experience is way too accurate.
Regardless of anything else, it’s a medical procedure, your employer shouldn’t be privy to private medical details just because they don’t agree with them. You should be able to get a doctors note that you’re having a procedure, will require time to heal and be done with it, in any reasonable world, but … here we are.
SCOTUS declaring this illegal in 3…2…1!

Conversely, maybe she thinks there will be MORE opportunity for $200k speeches if Trump wins!
As long as you’re not talking about throwing Molotov Cocktails at their CEOs, I don’t really see how that would matter
Bookstack has a pretty robust API for things like adding/exporting content even if the UI doesn’t always have a way to do things.
Might be worth looking at this ready-made script and see if it serves your purpose (at the very least just to make your shift from BS a bit easier): https://gist.github.com/ssddanbrown/45acb913a7b873240b2d89781e74a7a4
Interview With a Vampire … kind of … Lestat was by no means good to Louis, but their portrayals in the rest of the series was quite different … I think that Anne Rice was trying to show that neither of them should be considered reliable narrators and Louis will always try to portray his situation as awfully as possible and Lestat is a narcissist and will always try to portray himself in the best light even when acknowledging what he did incorrectly.
But, when I saw that book 2 was about Lestat, I was like … wtf … I hate this guy, why would I want a story with him as the main character and then I read them all, lol.
Same, but for the red ones for me.
Conversely, I think that every program should have a way to operate it from the command line and the GUI can just needlessly get in the way a lot of the time `¯_(ツ)_/¯
You write a command once and you can do whatever you want with it, repeatably, forever. It’s fantastic! You can then pipe the results into a completely different program all without needing to do much of anything! Want to run it on a schedule? Easy! Want to send the exact parameters you used to someone else? Easy! Want to copy and paste the exact output? Easy! Want to get a daily email with the results? Easy!
Some things are better with a GUI, but, plenty don’t need it.
With all that said, I understand why a dev who didn’t build their program with CLI in mind wouldn’t want to go in afterwards and add it in, especially if they don’t use/like CLI interfaces.
I’ve seen similar arguments to yours that every program should have be packaged as an exe, because fuck those fucking programmers thinking I should need to install python to make their shitty programs work. The devs are like “I don’t use Windows and wouldn’t even know how to package it as an exe and even then, I wouldn’t even be able to test that it works, python just works for everyone” and then the guy just continues to go off on a similar rant to yours about how ridiculous this is.
Besides, even if it had a GUI, the complaint would be “why don’t they make their software do the things that people want it to do‽‽‽” and then going off about how easy this {insanely complicated thing} would be to add in and EVERYONE {nope, just you} needs this function in order for this software to be useful and the dev is just a POS for not adding it.
Like, I get your point if you’re paying for software that doesn’t make it clear it doesn’t have a GUI, but if you’re just on github using someone elses software that they made for themselves and thought other people might like, why are you bitching? Just move on to another piece of software that can do what you want and has a GUI (I’m going to guess you can’t/won’t because those cost money and you wouldn’t be able to belittle and harass the actual software creators and that’s half the fun for you).
On KBin I believe that it is (or at least was a bug that became a feature). There have been posts about it strongly urging Ernest not to change it and he’s said he’ll open it up to discussion before making major changes to it, if my recollection is accurate.
My favorite non-example of this was in Mr Robot. The main character starts explaining something and the other character just says something like “we know what a raspberry pi is jackass” and it was fantastic.

Right?! I was way more conservative in my teens and have gone way further to the left and less conservative as I’ve aged.
“When you buy a house you’ll understand” … yeah, nope, maybe it’s the fact that it took 3 of us to buy the house instead of ONE salary being able to, but, nope - still not a crazy jackass who has no empathy just to keep my property taxes low.
ETA: Gen Z is great. I love the no fucks given attitude in the workplace and they’re a fucking inspiration.

Some cities and counties have additional protections, but at the state level, the only one that’s not at-will is Montana and the entire population of that state would fit in a single decently sized city. So, I think that’s a distinction that wasn’t really necessary, but you do you.
Aw man! I thought they raced the owls!
No wonder I lost my bet!
Do you just throw your garbage on the ground so janitors have something to do too? Pat yourself on the back while doing it?
No wait, give it back! Stop trying to steal my beer! I like beer!
