The only jobs I didn't get a piss test were all retail/food service. Every professional job I've had (tech) has made me drop a UA. I may have had to study to pass the pre-employment test, but thankfully no place I've been does randoms.

As my former manager put it, boss man isn't going to make us drop a UA cuz he knows he's lose his whole IT department.

I really wish the Democrats would fire back that they're letting pedophiles off the hook by not releasing the Epstein files (and protecting the PedoTUS).

I actually saw a lawn sign the other day in the rust belt with the orange dipshits face and the text "Pedophile pride is a Republican value" and I wish I hadn't been driving to snap a picture.

If you've got a gaming GPU, bazzite is built on kde fedora and takes away 99% of the problems I had with the old school distro. It's an atomic distro so you can't fuck up the base is nearly as easily.

Bazzite is atomic KDE fedora aimed at gaming PCs, and it's been rock solid for me for like 2 years at this point!

This is the first time I've had a Linux install survive this long. Normally fedora/Ubuntu/whatever would have shit the bed by now on either a an os or GPU driver update. I think I've had one moderate issue that took a bit to sort out (but the system was actually usable), but nothing breaking like before.

Finally glad to be free from windows (outside of work anyway)

Not when a corpo is doing it.

Copyright infringement is only cool for normal people, corpos should have to pay 5x the cost when they do it, cuz fuck em, they've got the dosh.

It's ok for people to not like your joke, but crying about it just makes you look like a child.

Feel free to complain about this downvote too.

What makes you think us salary slaves aren't working class? I still have to punch a clock every day to get my salary....

Honestly, the idea of applying for a job going in cold over the Internet sounds like a horrible experience.

It does sound that way, but in my very limited experience it worked out rather well.

Current gig is the only one in my professional career where I didn't get a foot in the door by word of mouth, and aside from it being scary, it wasn't really that different. Got me a low 6 figure 100% remote work gig a few years back and I love it. But again, this is a sample size of 1.

Ah, you're a marketing drone, that explains a lot.

I use AI often enough and it's just a shiny turd for anything complex. Good thing it's good at stealing art, so that's a big boon for marketing people.

I don't disagree with a lot of what you wrote, other than the end:

All this means I really only feel like it's valid to judge JK as if she were the somewhat bigoted person she originally was, rather than today's turbo-Nazi version of her.

I disagree, we can judge her on the choices she made that brought her to this point. She chose to engage with negative criticism with hostility and surrounded herself with people who validated the beliefs and behaviors that culminated in where we are today.

She could have chosen to remove herself from those situations instead of jumping in with both feet, but there would have been a social/ego cost to it, so she continued letting herself be radicalized into the hateful thing she has become.

And I judge her as someone having almost walked a similar path. I was on the alt-right pipeline over a decade ago when they were getting their feet underneath themselves, and I had a combination of self-awareness/shame that helped me come to my senses.
