Worked, briefly, in my youth for a shitty repair shop.
The owner would personally "help" any passable looking lady just to copy the drive and look for nudes. Or he was very gleeful to find video.
This is the same guy who "offices" out if a strip club.
I was too young and dumb to do anything but quit, and that was due to him not paying me more than any moral outrage. Can't eat moral outrage, however justified.
I went from hourly call center to on call 24/7 and being the only point of contact.
When my phone notifies me, just any notification, I panic. The phone rings, I panic. Its been over a year since I left.
Yes, its part and parcel to other issues of mental health, but... Man, do you know how often you get notifications? I've turned most off and still some days I'm ready to smash my phone so it will shut up and I can breathe normally.
If the owner was in one of the stores, he would "personally oversee" shall we say data retention? If the customer was a young (legal, as in not CP, but creepy age difference) woman.
Yeah, he backed up their data and looked for nudes. I was too young to know how to handle it, so when he said he couldn't pay me (even after it was due) I told him to fuck off.
I hope he fucked one of the day time strippers he spent most of his "office time" (the office being a strip club) with and wound up with an incurable STD.
I hope his wife found out. I hope she took him for everything.
The original "skin head" movement was mostly factory workers in Britain who cut their hair short (not necessarily shaved bald) for safety around equipment, and some of the most popular music among the group was stuff by "rude boys" Jamaican primarily I believe.
It was working class solidarity with no intentions of racism.
The neo Nazi groups coopted the term, and delved into punk music to find disenfranchised people who would buy into their rhetoric.
There are also other skin head groups that exist today - SHARP for example, standing for SkinHeads Against Racial Prejudice.
Espouse hateful rhetoric around these guys and you're liable to wind up on the wrong side of a brick to the head.
Why do I know all this? I have a penchant for research, and in the past few years I've been shaving my head because I decided to own my thinning hairline instead of have some ridiculous comb over type shit and hide it.
I have had an encounter with a racist white dude at a 711, and he's ranting at the cashier and looks to me and said "Right brother?!". No, it was absurdly horrible (misguided) and I threatened to call the cops if he didn't leave the store and hopefully the neighborhood. He left when he realized he didn't have any support.
I had an issue switching away from Pop!, and it may have been a one off, but when I tried to install a different distro, and it wound up screwing up my boot partition to the point the easiest thing was just to run a live distro, pop open parted, and wipe from there before I could install a different distro.
Mostly mentioning it because it was annoying to figure out and remedy - the remedy was annoying because I only had one flash drive so I had to wipe what I wanted to install, and just wasting time regarding that.
I wore vans up until my mid late 30s, but even with a desk job my feet killed after a day.
So now I have running shoes with more support and its helped. I also have a pair of combat boots, but they're more difficult to get on when I'm half asleep and trying to get to work.
So yeah, you might just have enough youth left to get by with vans lol.
I started with Backtrack on a laptop, and I currently have Kali on a preserved USB; with endeavor as a daily driver.
That being said, my current "real" daily drivers in Win10, mostly for gaming - Not because proton doesn't do a hell of a job, it certainly does, but it makes modding single player games more complicated. I will say that is absolutely my fault, I haven't spent enough time to figure it out. But after work, and the wife, and the animals, and the alcoholic BIL who shares the house... I just want to use Vortex to add some simple QOL mods to single player games and play it.
I troubleshoot IT issues all day at work, at the end of the day, I just need it to work. I've hardened and removed as much telemetry type bullshit as I could, but I'm sure some slips out. For my threat model, on this machine, I'm fine with it.
On the aforementioned labtop I boot into Kali for... well, that has a different threat model.
Its all self hosted vulnerable VMs for the specific reason of education, but some activities may fall into a grey area, so better safe than sorry.
I came to, apparently, agree with you. My exact thought.
This is clearly a trick to get into power, and we all know Republicans love power before anything else. Morals, the children, the budget, actual constitutionally protected rights, etc.
So many women worry about if they're too small, some worry they are too big (my ex being one example)
If your parts fit your frame, you're beautiful. And you know what, the whole product of growing up is most things that grow fit your frame. Fuckin' DNA sucks sometimes right?
Look, I'm just some random dude replying to a GW post, but I wouldn't kick you out of bed based on appearance. Lack of enthusiasm and effort? Yes.
Ladies, TL;DR: Enthusiasm and willingness to try trump almost all physical qualities.
