I’m aware, but I am not built for that. Plus, I’m so established as someone without one in the industry that such deception would be instantly discovered.

I do, I have a career goal I have been marching towards for some time but the momentum I had has stopped.

I joined the IT workforce during my generals at college, before the .com crash in the 90’s. I dropped out and have been working my way up ever since. I’ve led teams, I’ve been an architect, I’ve been a senior engineer, but I have always been after a director level role. No matter the experience though so far, the door is closed unless I have the degree.

So, I’m thinking about WGU, for an IT Management degree (maybe eventually a masters). It’s what I do every day, so I hope I can test out of a fair bit and the rest I should probably brush up on anyway.

I’m not after Fortune 500, I’ll go be a director for a balloon manufacturer or something, just a role where I can have a little of my own agency.

I’m aware, but I’m stuck where I am and can’t climb any further. So, either stop trying or try something else.

I never did but I’m now middle aged and stuck in my career without one. I’m right now planning on finding a competency based program to try to speedrun, so I can stop working on implementing others peoples broken garbage.

I just threw it on the family laptop to give it another life. So far it’s great, and I would honestly suggest it as a regular user desktop system. My kids will be fine with it, so would my mom, and any of my non-tech-savvy friends.

Personally I probably won’t switch from my beloved LMDE, but I’m also a greybeard nerd who’s set in my ways.

That’s why they are going to saddle the neckhole dude’s widow with him.

Aka the nestle phenomenon.

I have, but they wouldn’t take a fist born, nor magic beans..

I try to keep one or two near collections at all times. Makes me feel like someone cares..

This is a joke (although I am often behind on bills).

All part of the design. They are dumping department of education for the same reason. They want education to be only for the privileged, and only teaching what they want taught.

We aren’t there yet, but if you look at the steps they’ve taken it’s quite obvious what their plans are. If it’s not, it’s all spelled out in project 2025.

*modern pickups are common offenders, often for false beliefs such as "my properly aimed headlights are fine", when they are in fact not fine all the time because roads are not flat and smooth.

Not to harp, but roads not being smooth is a problem for all lights, not just pickups. If I’m behind someone, even close, my headlights are pointed below their rear window, I watch for where the line cuts off so as to intentionally not blind people. I’m high up and am often still blinded by any number of cars behind me though.

I totally agree that many truck drivers are assholes, and there’s a shitton of assholes with the squat and lifts and shit who never adjust them. Those are the ones to get mad at.

I mean, agree, but I’m a scout leader who towes at least monthly, had a bed full of wreaths to deliver yesterday for example.. I’m a middle aged dude with a work from home job, so all of those are indeed considerations and I do my best to be conscientious. Besides, my properly aimed headlights produce less glare than all the aftermarket, poorly aimed ones that people who think the blueish light makes them look fancier.

It’s commmts like yours though that kinda irk me. I mean, if a grey 4 wheel drive pickup, with a bunch of campground stickers offends someone, that’s not really on me. I’ll take the hate from assholes any day.
