Aaahh Hoekstra, the asshole of the… well, everything

Don’t care anymore because if I continue to care I’ll dunk myself off a bridge

The world is dying from cancer and humanity is the cancer. Nobody cares, so neither will I

My first reaction would be: great!

Then I remember it’s Amazon we’re talking about, so it’s pretty safe to assume there is some fuckery somewhere going on…

Back in 2010-ish, or so, I was on my way home from work, and I was dropped off in front of a hospital in Querétaro, México, because the bus stop was there.

“Lots of military here today” I recall thinking as I walked up to a group of military personnel always there. I see them being very antsy and all walking around and all of the sudden it’s shouting and one guy just runs to an army hummer, pulls out rifles and literally throws them at guys standing next to him. They all immediately get armed, start pointing their rifles in my general direction while doing that “aiming while running” thing and shouting “EVERYBODY ON THE GROUND NOW”

So I had some 20 odd armed soldiers with their rifles aimed in my general direction running at me while I’m shitting myself with all colors of the rainbow. I hide behind a small security building, quickly looked around and saw a small bus, my bus, arriving. I jumped in, told the driver to floor it, and he just looked at me, and told me he wouldn’t go anywhere untill he had my 5 pesos ( about 20 dollar cents at the time) for the ride.

I actually had to quickly explain to him that there was a district possibility we could all be dead in the next minute if he wouldn’t drive.

Turns out that they had the injured son of a narco in that hospital, and rumours started flying that either his buddy buddies would come to get him out or his not so buddy buddies might come to take him out, and the soldiers panicked.

Nothing really bad happened that day, but the road in front of the hospital was blocked off completely for the day. I still have the news paper somewhere in Mexico about that day.

Crazy shit

Measles are back, screw worm is back, just like the conservatives promised, we’re back to how things were in the 1950s

So if i just get brakes into space, and we ignore dying from oxygen deprivation, could I die of overheating?

Please DO GO!

There are lots of great games in Canada and Mexico, and both countries are amazing places to visit

Of course you do want to skip all US based matches, it would be like going to the Olympics in Berlin 1936.

According to a Google translation of the German court ruling,

Are you fucking kidding me now?

The word “dreaded” may be a bit much, but this one could be very bad for a lot of people. Extended droughts, extreme heat waves, etc. basically all the bad stuff we normally have but on niño steroids plus on climate change steroids.

Saying it’s nothing is naive at best

Think of the people that dies due to continued sleep deprivation

Ooohh, look, the tankies have arrived!

So tell me, where do you get your nonsense information from, exactly?

Also, how do I train in the mental gymnastics to flatten my brain so that I can believe in obvious nonsense too?

Oh look, Microsofts strategy to use whatever method to keep you (except of course making good and reliable software) and reminding you that your computer is theirs, not yours.

Yeah that sounds like a really bad idea

Russia couldn’t take a tiny sliver from Ukraine without sacrificing it’s economy, and close to a million and a half casualties.

Now it wants to take on Europe as well?

Only half? I’m guessing it would be way more than that where they either directly or indirectly are involved and causing the “conflict”

You wouldn’t have the time for that

When the bright light comes, it kills you or it won’t, but by the time it’s there there is little.rinning to be done

For free

Companies should be searching for employees

Agreed

Looking for a job now and a single company so far has has taken 6 hours of my time.

Two for the initial requirements for applying, the reading their 5 page information, writing a cover letter, etc.

Then two hours on a screening interview, and the initial interview, though that second one went from 1 hour to 1 hour 45 minutes so it was actually 6 hours 45 minutes

Then two more hours on a technical interview

This is where I’m at now, and i still am looking at two more one hour interviews with higher up, then the CEO herself.

That’ll make over 8 and a half hours IF I get the job.

If I don’t get the job, man, this was a fucking waste…

In principle, jobs should be a mutually beneficial relationship. I give them resources, they pay for that but in reality, the balance 100% tipped to their side

I have to apply for jobs, they dont have to apply for employees

I have to write cover letters and separate letters to tell them how much i love their company and how badly i really want to work there and how much I’ll sacrifice for them

They interview me on their turf, their rules. We don’t get to interview the company. Some companies allow us to ask a few questions, but that’s it.

Shits fucked up

It’s the other way around, but yes, very much yes

Yeah, let’s invite fascists to celebrate the victory over fascism. That should go well

orbital data centers

Aaahh, musk and his imaginary bullshit projects that people are still falling for
