We have American border police at our airports, and they are able to act as if they're on home turf and not our fucking land -- including arresting us to take to America. I have a thought as to whom we can expel from here, obviously!
Well it's going to put a damper on my Ansible "coding".
You think I want to properly learn that piece of junk? It was obsolete and archaic before it was released, and it survives on naivete and churn cost and nothing else. There is no part of my time doing yaml for Ansible that I want to actually retain or build on, and without chatGPT to slop-in the changes I need to make, I may be forced to do it myself. And I lack the crayons now and alcohol for after.
Actually subjecting my brain to Ansible directly in real-time is a horror. It is just so fucking lame compared to everything else -- it even pales compared to the DevOps we were doing in 2002 before it was even called that. Let my have my robots to slop the Ansible and save my sanity !
I think for about 2 weeks Voat had potential. Then the Nazis moved in and it was doomed.
Now WE have the kill switch on THEIR gear !
IT.
Injured out of infantry and poored out of college but landed a shitty little ISP job. Started one to beat that one, because they were sleazy like used-car salesmen. Left embezzling biz-partner to do coding-adjacent job in NJ and stop being startup-poor. Kept working. Fast forward.
I only regret I was unable to use my skills to relo for new jobs farther away like some of my peers.
Of course. The plan is to do something for those who most need a leg-up, and plans like those don't come from a cohort raised in an era of self-reliance myth.
Ah. Right. Less than 60. No chance of getting elected.
Except maybe if you're a stylish dude with good policies you can become mayor of a big city and also woo the commander in cheese.
AoC/Mamdani 2028? Kick out the bootstraps?
The five-assed monkey of cert lifetimes.
As useless measures go this will certainly be one; especially while CRLs are a thing.
See also: accessible health care. When the gov is the only consumer - ie no private monopoly and no dual-market slippery-slope - then healthcare becomes accessible and supported by regular income tax.
The turning point was when they went from engaged company to soulless asset. And it seemed to have been a speed-run to hell.
I'm reading this in a Europe sub, but I think I also saw it in World news. I'm sorry it took so long to realize it wasn't America acting tyrannically, and I'm doubly glad I moved back home so many years ago -- ironically American Georgia* being the last place I visited (dinosaurs, gorillas and whales; oh my!).
*If we call it American Samoa, why not American Georgia?
Ukraine made a deal with America to disarm back when America was a little trustworthy. Things have changed, and I say they're good to resume nukes.

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.
The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.
Oh! AirCanada!
I think the theme is more "return home after a successful mission as asset handler".
