When they came out

Mine is that all of the Matrix films are very overrated.

I’d love to see them make the books into a series of movies like with Sharpe or Hornblower.

To be fair, in Florida at least it referred primarily to the whips used to drive cattle, not anything slavery related.

Shame is an artificial construct that I am choosing not to opt into. Thanks for letting us know that sponsorblock is in, I’m turning it on now.

So true about the messaging issues. I had one woman get seriously pissed at me for asking a question about one of the interests in her bio. She said something to the effect of “Are you here to interrogate me or what?” I was just trying to start a conversation, but I quickly moved on, she clearly was crazy or stupid.

Poly was actually my wife’s idea for many of the reasons you list above. It’s not just sex though, my wife is also not a touchy feely person, and I am, as she calls me, a cuddle monster. Thankfully we are good at communicating and deeply love each other, and so were able to navigate all of this without arguing, yelling, etc…

There are different terms inside of polyamory, but all of it falls into the polyamory bucket.

My wife and I are poly. Neither of us have found a long term person yet (Wife isn’t really looking because she is graysexual and doesn’t really want any additional deep emotional connections), but we’ve met a few great people who probably could have worked but for one or two incompatibilities. I’ve seen enough over the past two years to see that it definitely can work.

Most of the jobs were short term, I’d guess they did find out, or the performance was subpar and they fired him at the end of his probationary period.

The recruiter is who I want to yell at. Her whole job is to find real candidates, and I was able to figure out in 5 minutes that something was off about the guy just from comparing LinkedIn and his resume, and then doing a quick Google search with his name + employers.

Unless you get caught. We were supposed to interview someone the other day, so I googled him, and found out that his resume and LinkedIn job histories don’t match. That lead me down a rabbit hole where I found out he is working multiple full time jobs simultaneously while most likely farming the work offshore, and his job titles were completely wrong inaccurate on both LinkedIn and how resume. Also the references he listed appear to be himself, as their job history is also not real.

Not only did his interview get cancelled, he’s marked as non-hireable in the future.

Agreed, it is an amazing follow up.

Breaking Bad was 10/10 the whole way through. Basically every other show has had bad episodes, bad plots, etc…

I vote against my own interests nearly every election. I try to vote for what I think is best for the country as a whole, and if that is unclear, I try to think “What decision will my kid want me to have made looking back in 30 years?”

I’m aware. Apparently everyone who read my post has misread it. I’m saying that the requirements above are terrible, and they make my users complain constantly. Our security team constantly comes up with ways to increase security theater at the detriment of actual security.

Even better is forcing changes every 30 or 60 days, and not allowing changes more than every week. Our users complain daily between those rules and the password requirements that they are too dumb to understand.

Trying a new game often feels like work as I get older. I find myself going back to the things I know already rather than new stuff.

Mandrake was my intro to linux back in 2003 as well. I ran it for a few months, but ended up going back to Windows for my main pc. I kept dabbling though, and decided to find a way to make it work two years ago. It’s not been totally smooth for me, but it’s well worth the effort.

I’ve bought sub $500 laptops several times in the last 6 years or so, and they were all great. Lenovo puts (or at least used to put) out Ideapads with Ryzen processors that are crazy cheap, and fairly upgradable.
