Fucked up. The cops actually repeatedly called the nurse to check this guy, and she repeatedly decided not to do anything. Including leaving for the night at a point when he was no longer breathing. Who are these nurses they have employed in the jail?
We found out I had an unknown half-brother because my grandpa decided to do one of these. My grandpa was trying to see how much of his Native American ancestry would come up. He is, supposedly, half Wyandot. It showed 0% Native American ancestry. Make of that what you will.
And yes, they’ll absolutely end up selling your data at some point.
I happened to go to school in a public school district that had both middle-class and upper-class families. My neighborhood was lower-middle-class to middle-class, so my neighborhood was dubbed “the hood.” The school district, likely due to donations and a good stream of funds from property taxes was just as good or even better in some eyes than going to a private school. Some of the rich families preferred their children going to the public school, as long as it was good, for the character. I grew up with this mix of friends.
Later in life, I’ve had jobs which cater to who these richer kids became as adults. CEOs and other execs of multi-billion dollar organizations and the like. Perhaps I’m good at it because of the exposure and how I’m not intimidated by them. Depending on the person, they sometimes appreciate being treated like a normal human being for a change.
In a nutshell, there’s new money and old money. As children, the new money kids were more normal, but a hell of a lot more fun. The old money, quite boring. Mainly because they were all the fucking same. Same hair, same clothes, same interests. They tended to be more elitist and lacking in empathy. Big surprise?
That somewhat translates to the adult versions. Old money rich people are incredibly boring. You see, rich people don’t have the same struggles as normal people have. Think of it this way: Imagine that money was like water out of the tap. You want some more for now? Just turn on the tap. Of course, it would be concerning if for some reason the tap didn’t work or that the water didn’t flow, but if it’s been so reliable your entire life, it’s not one of your major concerns. New money people also have that same tap, but may come from a family or background where things didn’t always work that way. The tap is still seen as this awesome achievement.
I’ve only gotten to know the richest people as an adult on a very superficial level. From what I’ve gathered, there are some that are perfectly fine with their boring lives, but only because they’ve found some line of work that they like. Those that haven’t tend to have secret vices and debauchery at a level a poorer person could never get away with.
They live in a completely different world. Imagine if the world you lived in conditioned you in a way in which you could only identify with other rich people. I suspect they are quite lonely. Boo hoo, right? Those of us who aren’t rich but are also lonely for other reasons have such ire for these people. But such is the way of things.
I’ll refrain from making more generalizations than that, as we’re talking about human beings. Everybody is different. There are exceptions to every rule. Some rich kids go on to become wonderful, dynamic people that happen to have the freedom to affect change in the world. Some grow up to become complete leeches on society. Just as you’d expect.
The biggest takeaway: Usually, not always, they’re actually pretty boring compared to normal people. The crazy stories you hear are actually the minority.
The T.V. series got some legitimate laughs out of my step-daughter. I can’t really remember them actually laughing at any other movies or T.V. shows.
That is, if they approve you at all. Their requirements are higher, which is why you would get a better rate through them. If you can’t, you may need to go through a different company with a higher interest rate. Should that be the case, it’s best to consider getting a car (and the loan) significantly less in than what you’re approved for.
Agreed. They’re supposed to be living for centuries in this silo, and every time I saw him walk on screen with his signature leather jacket I cringed. You just know somebody had to argue that he looked out of place, but he likely insisted he keep his look or not take the role at all.
Yes, I do remember this RAM compression software. It was like magic. When my mom installed it on our Mac I didn’t believe her at first until I hopped on and used the computer.
We used to think that they nap most of the day because we couldn’t see what lions did at night. With new camera technology, we can now. Male lions are, maybe, a little more badass than we thought. Their job is basically to fight other lions and hyenas and shit and patrol their territory. They do this at night. Lionesses are still super badass and maybe even more badass than we originally thought, too. I guess what I’m saying is that lions are just badass. The difference is that lions are social creatures while, as far as we can tell, tigers are more solitary, so there’s a comparison issue there. Male lions do, at least, do a bit more for the pride aside from sleeping and fucking, like some of the old documentaries I remember made it look like. That’s just how they are during the day, but I mean, they’re cats. They do a lot of shit a night we didn’t really have a good handle on until recently. Male lions are big and muscly and powerful not for no reason. They have to have that in case something else wants to fuck around with their pride and find out. The lionesses are the providers, the male lions are the protectors that stay at home and protect the territory. We like to try to fit things into our own ways of understanding, but they just do it different. It’s how they evolved to survive.
Eukaryotes likely evolved during The Great Oxidation Event which saw oxygen levels rise to levels that were toxic to the Cyanobacteria (which use photosynthesis). We evolved to save them!
My school had a wreck towed on campus to look at, but no skit. No, that was too tame. They held periods during which they had a speaker come and show us gorey slides of the results of car wrecks. You could opt out of it of course, but most attended and traumatized ourselves. It sounds fake, and now I’m wondering if I am relaying a false memory about it or not. Did this happen to anybody else?
I used to be Christian. Reading it again later as an adult, my overall takeaway of the stories was that there was this guy with divine knowledge walking around constantly being disappointed with the state of humanity and a hair up his ass about it. I suppose it wouldn’t be any different today, were the same entity to come back, for some fucking reason.
I’ve said to an older man, “You dislike these people, that you raised, in the world that you built?
The taking/giving/reaching out term differences between Indian dialect and American English caused me some confusion on one of my calls. They kept saying they were trying to “take RDP from” server A to server B. I interpreted that as connecting from A to B, since they used the word “from.”
It took a bit, but I eventually realized that there seemed to be to be a fundamental difference in the way these things are thought about.
Americans, we always are reaching toward, pointing to, connecting to, or connecting something from HERE to THERE, like we’re shooting a gun or drawing a line. That is not how these Indian guys were looking at it.
If you are “taking RDP from” server A to server B, then that means you are on server B trying to connect to server A. It’s more like if you were to imagine reaching out with your hand and grabbing something toward you.
Document document document. I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to put together something that further demonstrates the need to eliminate entire lines of laptops and replace them with something that will last. Think hardware repair costs, maintenance man hours and productivity, and what finally nailed the coffin for my teams, the dropping of Windows 10 and Windows 11 support. Windows 11 is going to require laptops have certain hardware features for full support. Microsoft’s planned obsolescence may actually come in handy for you. You might still have to go with something cheaper than Thinkpads, but maybe you could get more people upgraded. The CEO may just not know what is “critical” yet.
It’s gotten worse, however, I think the perception is compounded by how expensive it is now and also just eating better as I get older. Now that I know how to cook real, delicious food, fast food just seems so much grosser than it used to. It’s a little worse compared to 10 years ago, but much worse compared to the 80’s and early 90’s, depending on the chain. For example, Taco Bell was a LOT better back in the 80’s. You were more likely spend a bunch of time on the toilet later, but hey, give a little take a little.
Becoming a default to have it installed in Windows. On a personal machine, it’s easy to fix. In our work environment, we just made sure it’s on the image by default. You can also circumvent a windows store block by installing appx stuff in Powershell.
It was a struggle between the middle class and the upper class. The upper class, once again, tricked the lower class into supporting them. The middle class has lost, and now its power will be dismantled as much as possible. The lower class, as usual, will not benefit much from either scenario. This is why their vote was easy to sway. They really didn’t have a horse in the race, but now the gap widens. I hate typing this out and it makes me feel gross, but this is what’s happening.
