The subtle art of not giving a f*ck pisses me off every fucking time I see it. If you didn't give a fuck, you would spell out fuck like an adult.

Fun story time: I once got informed of a drug test for a job I'd just accepted after a weekend of hard partying. I was on prescription opiods, Adderall, and ketamine. They called Monday morning at 9 to tell me I had to piss within 4 hours. I hadn't even slept yet. I should have lit that test up like a Christmas tree for everything except thc. It came back clean. They never asked about my prescriptions. I have 2 theories. 1) they don't actually test. 2) if too many things light up, they assume it's a calibration issue.

So what you're saying is that wolves made "fetch" happen. Gretchen is going to be pissed.

1. they're under paying you.
2. if you can get through this hell for 2 years, you'll likely be pretty set as a Windows admin. No joke, I got promoted into a very similar position from being a datacenter tech. I fucked all kinds of shit up, broke everything multiple times, didn't leave the office for days on end. While you're waiting for access to be able to do things, start learning powershell. Don't fix problems, automate solutions. What I mean by that is anytime you fix anything, immediately write a script to fix it next time it happens.

I am that guy. I got pissed off that there was no way to buy all of the episodes of Good Eats legally. Next thing I knew, I had a dual xeon server and 60TB of hard drives. Of the 50 or so people using my server I think 6 have servers of their own.

Oh look, it's me. Except I've put in 600 applications in 6 months without a single response. 15 years as a Devops engineer at fortune 100 companies, and can't make it to round one.

Here's some of my set

I got yelled at by a flight attendant for wearing a shirt that said "I fucking love to cuddle" I ended up having to turn my shirt inside out so the plane could take off.

The executive branch enforces the judicial branch's interpretation of the laws passed by the legislative branch. I believe there's a small judicial police department, but really all of the checks and balances we were taught about are gentleman's agreements. If say the legislative branch decides that the head of state is God king of the golden shower, praise be upon him, and the executive branch agrees, it doesn't really matter that the judicial branch thinks it's illegal.

The onboarding processes at most companies is broken. The bigger the company, the more likely it's terrible.

Too bad their build quality is absolutely shit. I'd always wanted an Alienware growing up, but they were way out of my budget. In 2020, I bought my wife and I new Alienware laptops. $5000 worth of laptops. Mine did a firmware update and died in 2023. Dell offered to diagnose it for $200 if I shipped it to them. My wife's has had to be repaired 3 times, and her hdmi port died yesterday.

I live in Albania. Nobody here blames Americans for what the elites are doing. They're pissed at their government for making separate laws for "strategic investors" and the PM Rama being the only person that can grant that status.

Thought this was c/shittyasklemmy. It's not, so here's an earnest response. I'm from the US, but have spent a bunch of time living outside of the country. Every guy I know usually poops daily, but a lot of women only poop every couple of days. It doesn't have anything to do with the cold.

Fun somewhat related story time. I once had a colleague travel to the US from South East Asia. He went to our boss a few days into the trip and said he needed to go to the hospital. My boss eventually convinced him to explain the problem. His poop was a solid mass instead of liquid. Dude had never had solid shit before. It's possible an anecdote like this is what gave your teacher that idea.

I contracted at plex for 6 months. The employees really care. The developers were very concerned with making the absolute best media server possible. The QA team was doing crazy stuff to try to keep everything working.

Last time I flew spirit one of the flight attendants was so upset by my shirt saying "I fucking love to cuddle" that she delayed the flight in an attempt to get me thrown off. I had to turn my shirt inside out so the plane could take off. On the same flight, there was a preacher that stood up and started preaching that the flight attendants were fine with.

I spent years getting great with powershell so I can now confidently copy code out of chatgpt. Chatgpt's ability to spit out close to correct code faster than I can type it is amazing, but useless if you don't understand what the hell it's trying to do.

It hadn't ever occurred to me to look for pirated patterns :D Here are some sites with a ton of free patterns. https://www.allfreesewing.com/ https://vintagepatterns.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page https://sewingsupport.com/ https://threadsmonthly.com/free-sewing-patterns/ https://lovesewing.com/free-sewing-patterns-projects/ Z-Library also has a ton of stuff.

I bailed on the US 3 years ago, and bought a house in Albania last year. It's hard to leave and stay gone. Sometimes I'm completely overwhelmed. Learning a second language when over 40 sucks. Not having a support network near is the worst.

In Albania at least, 50% of the American immigrants are missionaries, 25% are fascists, and a huge chunk of the remaining people are retirees. Trying to explain to locals that the words coming out of trumps mouth aren't what his actions are, is literally impossible.

There are huge benefits though. My house is mine. Forever. No ever increasing property taxes and insurance premiums on an already insane base price. I'm not scared of interacting with a cop. Food and utilities are cheap relatively speaking. Now that we have the house, we're able to squeek by on about $500/month with bills, food, and going out for coffee a couple of times.

I was working for the EPA when they were transitioning from Lotus Notes to Office 365. Management required us to wear pins that said "Ask me about MyWorkplace" on the cutover day. I wore a clown suit to work that day. Workers loved it. Management was not amused. It technically met dress code, but I only made it 2 hours before I was told I had to change clothes.

Isos all go on a flash drive. When I need one it's faster to download a current version than it would be to update the old version after installing.
