This right here. While my career might be in tech, nothing ever calls me like being a proper steward of the land. You can wake up and look out and see what you did growing and becoming stronger every day. It enriches your soul.
And we aren’t even talking about how you feel when you donate food to people who need it.
I think many of us have been here before. The first thing to realize is that… you aren’t the first and won’t be the last. I’m sorry you’ve had trouble in life. I’m having trouble now too, but different… and feel there’s nobody I can really talk to about it. I have friends who are also having trouble and while we talk, the reality is that all my good wishes and time to time help doesn’t solve their problems either. In the end it’s up to them.
“Life is a struggle” isn’t just an axiom.
The first thing any lonely person can do is really learn to love spending time with themselves. It involves a lot of soul searching, exploring, learning what things in life interest them enough to explore on their own. When you accomplish that, take what you’re interested in and go find other people who are interested in it. Two people in the world who might be meant for each other, but just stay at home because they don’t want to get out there… will never ever meet.
Life is work. Friends are work. Relationships are work. If you just want to be happy alone and by yourself, guess what? Work.
This is a crossroads in your life, where you get to decide which way to go. It may seem overwhelming, but in the end it starts with one simple thing. What thing in the world makes you happy? If that’s nothing, then start with, what thing in the world makes you less sad?
Every house has a foundation. Time to build yours.
This needs to be seen by the whole world imo
I thought it was pretty commonplace for people to just set up a vpn on their router and act like they’re on their own network. I guess I’m an idiot, but I’m actually surprised people were paying for this in the first place.
If y’all aren’t already aware the first test date for Consumer Power is on Feb 28th. Don’t buy ANYTHING on that date. Yeah, it’s brief, it will probably be a blip, but this is like a test of the emergency broadcast system. If we can get say 2% of people to do that, then watch closely for reactions, it will help us spread the word for the 2nd test. Then the 3rd. It’s only through this grassroots organization that we can accomplish anything.
I had a friend tell me that they’d already seen organizations trying to make it their idea and honestly, I’m not at all concerned about who is putting their brand on it. The POINT here is that we need to start exercising our muscles to make this a real tool for change. Stop focusing on that message and start embracing the larger goal here. Spread the word. RESIST.
The real life cast of Don’t Look Up is being assembled
Um, I’m gonna reveal my age here and say that it’s a crime the old Dragonlance fantasy series was never made into a movie. It’s perfect.
Pretty easy conclusion to reach since… we all are.
Moreover while there’s no proof it HAS been done, inserting some new bit of code in a Chinese owned app could perform security breaches inside the user’s phones. I’m not even sure they’d be interested in MY info, but they sure would like to have access to my company’s network complete with VPN.
When one server goes down, it’s taken out back, shot, and replaced on the line.
And then Skynet remembers…
Be the change you want to see in the world.
I think the important distinction would be ‘file’ or ‘record’. Passwords aren’t really a file in a database iirc and records in a database have a storage limit
This is diabolical. I approve.
This for real. Stop buying shit.
Moved out to the country, gardened, raised animals, breathed clean air and listened to the wind.
I find peace in learning and doing things well that, even if the system disintegrates, need to be done to move forward.
It’s common knowledge that the days we work in the office, nothing gets done. All the meetings where a middle manager needs to see his minions before him in a room ensure we have no other time.
It comes down to the number of mouths that have to fed at the end of the day. Individuals producing news stories appear ‘free’ for the masses because they have alternative ways of earning, such as monetization on a large platform.
News agencies, however, are in a strange place these days. They used to be private and used to have a default subscription fee. You paid for the paper or you read one that someone left behind somewhere. Nobody’s buying papers anymore and they’ve had to move online. In addition they’ve been purchased by giant conglomerates or billionaires. It’s no longer a matter of making sure their employees are fed by producing a great product… the billionaires and CEO’s just want money. Since everyone’s ad-blocking these days they charge subscriptions and leverage tech to deny their product to those who don’t pay.
There will always be alternative news sources, and god knows I prefer them to 18 tv stations in the same city using the exact same propagandized scripts. You just have to put in the effort to look for them. That’s the fee you’re paying. Time.
Could someone please show this to Joe Rogan? Mfer with an episode of Mad Honey and he’s all like, “This stuff stings the back of your throat, it’s so weird!”
No dude, it’s just real honey.
They’ve been this way for years. I’m happy he’s moving away but to act surprised is really disingenuous.
