Just one more day until vacation. New job position, working alone frequently instead of having a crew (due to transferring to a location in a reno) once we open up fully I'll have support again but man, I'm beat to a pulp. Everything is hurting. I think one of the worst things about the job is they use *extremely* dated software. We gotta use streamed virtual machines for all our office work. I keep telling them the servers feel like they're going to kick the bucket soon. I'm so tired and done.

@Bemet_Or me? I'm scared of heights, of spiders and bugs...but most of all I'm scared of people who think escalation is better than de-escalation.

What I'm not scared of is a person with a gun, because the odds of encountering that are so slim I'd have a better chance with the lottery.

If the GOP spent more efforts on trying to help Americans get out of hardship and less efforts on pitting people's hardships against each other, a significant ripple would occur globally, not just in the USA.

@Bemet_Or unless you sleep with a loaded gun under your pillow, owning one isn't going to help you in a home invasion and odds are you'll just be arming a criminal with another black market gun. Everyone wants to act like they'll be John MacLean when in reality your frontal lobe will take over. There's nothing wrong with that. Main character syndrome is a hefty symptom among people who are scared of other people and feel they need an equilizer like a gun to have the overwhelming edge.

If TEXAS of all states can't be the proverbial poster child of deterrence for mass shootings, the GOP and their GOPaganda need to seriously consider the sheer amount of evil it takes to sweep that under the rug with their thoughts and prayers.

Interesting, the bionic reading feature works on some things but not most for me. I'm running Android 11 (Honeycomb) and now I'm trying to figure out if I can get this LG Velvet to update to the latest and greatest android version as I suspect that's the issue

Okay edit I see it now maybe it's only on new posts going forward? Anywho I love it

@WeThePeople is this a render?

We need to start legislating right now that of we get to other planets, singular people or corporations CANNOT claim the entire planet, even a parcel of land on it. Instead the land should be a trust of stewardship, responsible caretaking and allow for communal usage where appropriate.

The land grab model of the Earth is archaic and absolutely garbage.

@Boats everyone is entitled to due process

@misslovelymess real or honorary?

Had a girl trying hard to pitch Ivari insurance to me, trying to figure out where the scam is because it's affiliated with the WFG scam

@rokkinbobokkin essentially giving the power of convenient death causing to individuals needs to be tied hand in hand with a level of licensing, discipline and regulation to reflect that morbid responsibility.

@rokkinbobokkin in Star Wars, the creator of the Death Star said he thought the station would be used to mine dead planets, a tool for constructive use.

In real life, the creator of the rocket meant for them to be used to travel to other worlds, not for firing at one another. I believe he is famously quoted, "The rocket worked perfectly, only it landed on the wrong planet," most weapons that shouldn't be in the hands of regular people were created as tools for a purpose.

My 2 dream jobs would be either explorer (like literally finding places never even mapped before) or to be a dude in a think tank who just constantly comes up with ideas that investors consider whether to put money behind lol

Came across someone having an argument about grammar online, and I have gotten the extremely rare opportunity to call them out for "Muphry's" Law, not to be confused with Murphy's Law.

It's going to be a good day.

@Airborne_Frog nice pallasite meteorite. I've made a one of a kind necklace from that stuff before. It's really an amazing stone

@Render this made me dig out this oldie but goldie lol

Night bud, you're awesome

@Render do you prefer Star Wars Legends or the new stuff?

Happy May the 4th.
... I'll see myself out 😂

@phase if it doesn't pass, those judges still outed themselves for what they want to do despite saying they wouldn't do it, right?

So there will be every opportunity to take them to task on this going forward.

Keep getting a 502 and 521 error, but don't know what they mean lol
