  • Nah, this is just good people doing good things for other people in need.

    I can actually see how you might think it’s a boring dystopia, but this is just how we live where I’m from.

  • That whole mindset is weird to me. I’m in my mid 40s and just got hired on as a team lead for a bunch of kids who are fresh out of college. They’re exactly where I am when I started and I’m excited to share my 20 years of experience and mentor them.

    They wanted to hire me on as their supervisor but I made it clear that the extra couple grand a year for that headache didn’t interest me.

  • I just wanted to reinforce my opinion that you can (and I have) absolutely become a better person and left the shitty version of myself behind.

    If you’re set on being a better person than you were before, then you’re progressing. There’s a quote attributed to Plato, and I don’t know if he actually said this or not. I think this rings true no matter what though.

    “Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow”

    Keep being better and you’ll get through the guilt of who you may have been before. Be a voice for those you may have slighted earlier in life. It gets easier as time goes on, I can promise you it does from personal experience.

  • I’m asking from across the pond here. How the fuck is this guy still relevant at all? Wasn’t he the face of UKIP a few years ago? And now he rises from the ashes as an MP?

    Look, I know we have our own dirty laundry to deal with here, and for the sake of the rest of the planet, I sincerely hope we do. Guys like Nigel farage and Donnie douchebag need to be launched into the fucking sun. How do we make this shit end?

  • I grew up in a racist household hearing some truly awful things, and parroted the vile shit I heard from my dad. I was a late teenager before I realized how fucked up my family actually was.

    So pardon me if I completely disagree with you that I’m not “less terrible” than I was 30-40 years ago. The person I was back then is long dead.

  • I’m a terrible person, I know

    I think that people can evolve as they mature. Recognizing that you don’t like the person that you used to be and taking steps to be a better person doesn’t make you a terrible person at all.

    I also did and said a bunch of things in my teens that I abhor and regret as an adult, but I think that I grew into a respectable person and speak out against the very things I have said as a child.

  • I believe it’s a Crowdstrike EDR software update pushed through a windows update that caused the outage, which is definitely not a consumer solution.

    Having had something to do with endpoint management in my past life, this is exactly the reason why we roll out updates gradually, and not to everyone all at once. My current employer did this the right way, and we had like 20% of the endpoints blue screen and we could actually function today while we worked through the issue.

  • Imho the most realistic chance for russia to actually stop this war is for their populace to turn against the government

    So let’s continue this thought exercise. What do you think the best way would be to turn the populace against the government?

    I’d argue that bringing the Russian populace a taste of what Ukraine is feeling every day would be a good start.
