But why the fuck would I want anything I REMOTELY like this?
Hell, I can't stand "Edge" too begin with....I remove it from my tool bar......
I don't want any AI running amuck on its own on my computer doing anything it wants.....
Well, you are cult member, correct?
No, but it sounds like you may be......
consider there are only 10 (ten) trans U.S. college athletes
Even if that is the case...that's 10 too many, especially if they are taking scholarships and records away from real biological women.
I thought liberals were all in about womens' rights?
I mean there's solid evidence that Republican voter suppression prevented 17 million Democrats from voting. That's a wide enough margin by far to have given Haris the win.
LOL..ok, you keep telling yourself that, rather than do a lot of retrospection and look inside to see what a poor candidate with a poor message you ran....and the republicans will continue to clean your clock.
Yep...SO much voter suppression with a Democrat president and senante during the election....not to mention the wins in DEM controlled states.....yes, keep telling yourself whatever makes you feel better.
Are they new lenses bodacious bokeh monsters!?!?!
(The photographers here should catch that one...)
Geographical mobility used to be much easier. In the age of credit scores and limited housing, it is extremely difficult to find a landlord who will admit you without a job, and much harder to find a job that will hire you without already being local.
Well, credit scores as we know them have been around since the 60's...so, not really that new.
There's PLENTY of housing....just depends on what part of the US you are in.
I see houses for sale all the time where I live (New Orleans area)....it may be scarce in NYC or west coast urban areas....but that is not the whole US.
In other parts of the US, there are homes...GOOD jobs, and cost of living is much less.
And those are regular W2 jobs.....if you jump into 1099 contracting....you can work wherever and very much often....remote.
I've done both....and if you have any job experience, you can get jobs before you moved.
I've never moved before having a job in that area....
Not so easy once your kids have friends and school in Seattle.
As a child, I had to move with my parents a number of times as Dad progressed through his career....
Hell,, military brats do it all the time still....but it wasn't that long ago this was pretty common....grow up, leave the nest....it's ok and natural....
I guess you must be single or young....Reasons not to leave your area: owning a house, family, friends, not wanting to pull kids from school during critical times (or mid year), established connections, and a lot more tech jobs in Seattle than 99% of the rest of america, outside silicon valley? "Sell your house" and then you pick up a house that is also overpriced but pay much higher property taxes. Income tax is *zero* in Washington...Also, this is actually Redmond, not Seattle proper.
When did people get to be such pussies about moving?
Hell, when I grew up, this was a common thing....you moved to where the best job or new opportunity was.
Fun? No.
PITA? Yes
But families did it as a matter of how life is/was....
I remember as a kid moving a number of times
I myself have moved....
Do people today believe that as grown adults they STILL have to live near Mommy and Daddy?
Friends? Well hell, there's a TON of ways to stay in touch that weren't there when I was young....you only had phone calls and snail mail growing up and if they were real friends....you stayed in touch.
Today it's a piece of cake to keep in touch.
When I grew up, most people I knew hit the road at 18yrs or so and often it was to a different state for college and jobs....no one had to stay in same town as Mommy....but then again, we never too "Mommy" out on job interviews like they apparently do today...
Simple really.....believe it or not, people used to do this type thing without a 2nd thought....
Then I regularly shorten my neighbors lives (and mine) whenever I fire up my log burning offset smoker for BBQ.
I don't generally have any complaints....quite the opposite reaction in general (I share and offer to throw things on for them too, since it is large and I often have extra room).
Oh, and onedrive is fucking cancer
My wife recently bought a new laptop and, to both of our surprise, it was configured out of the box to save data to OneDrive instead of C:. She's not particularly tech savvy and one day Chrome complained that storage was full. She did a web search of the error and it recommended deleting data from OneDrive, which she did, assuming that her family pictures were only backed up there - not primarily stored there - and ended up losing important data as a result of this.
Thankfully it must have been that particular OEM that chose to do this. I had installed "vanilla" Windows 11 on a custom PC build and that didn't happen - and we just bought a new laptop for our new business, different brand, and that was the first setting I checked (not an issue).
Still... companies pushing this type of crap on users is just batshit. Offer as an option, sure. But fundamentally re-configuring core functionality that people who have been using the OS for decades take for granted is just madness.
I think anyone saying that the shooter clearly belongs to one party or the other at this point is lying. And I've seen plenty of it on both sides, including you, right now.
If you can't see the shooter is FAR LEFT...then you are either willingly blind or not listening at all.
His notes, his relatives telling his history, FFS he's fucking a gay furry guy trans.....
If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck....
That is a good post except for one thing. Charlie Kirk's killer isn't "left"
I guess you haven't been watching the news for the days AFTER the shooting.....this guy might have been raised "right", but he left that awhile back, was shacking up with a furry, trans guy....and both had pushed back on their families showing extreme hate for anything remotely conservative....hell the dude wrote shit in his notes, his texts and even on his bullet casings....
The left tried pushing the shooter was maga right off to bat, but that has long since been disproved.
It's gotten so far that some Republicans are trying to back away because they realize that those laws being used to censor "the left" could easily be used to censor them for the exact same reason. The big fun being to see how the Supreme Court will allow the censorship but then twist themselves into knots trying to deny the same rights if a (D) gets to be President.
The LEFT was ALREADY doing this....especially during the Obama and Biden admins....Obama using direct federal power/branches directory, like the IRS.
Biden, with DOJ going after people they didn't like and directly pressuring Social Media to deplatform people and cut banking abilities... Look I don't agree with recent Reps suggesting HARD to have people lose jobs/censored, but it is different than direct federal manipulations with actual branches actively doing things, behind the scenes, etc....those backdoor communications with Twitter and FAcebook are far different than someone on the FCC saying bad things about Kimmel....but they didn't force ABC to can him....
Never mind the other deaths like January 6
Jan 6ths...really?
Let's see....1 person was killed that day at the Capitol...the lady trying to climb in a window show and killed by a guard.
That's your example??
I like work; it fascinates me; I can sit and look at it for hours.
