'Directly implicates Trump': DOJ releases — then pulls — 'bombshell' Epstein letter online

I will never understand how people could be this rich and do stupid shit like this.

With all that money, you could go find the love of your life, travel the world with them, pay for all the mental and healthcare you need, be fit and live the rest of your life happily with your soulmate AND still even have the capacity to help others if you so desire.

But instead they do this shit. I hate reality.

These are the people who are annoying and useless as shit in IT. Most coworkers I’ve had who are constantly getting certifications or attending conferences contribute very little in the way of work or knowledge. The information required to get those certifications goes in one ear and out the other for them. People like that are more interested in clout than anything.

Not to say anyone taking training or certifications is like this, but there is a specific type obsessed with these “markers” that spend the majority of their time chasing certifications and things of that nature.

On the flip side, I have a beast of a coworker who says she doesn’t do anything tech related outside of work to decompress and she’s easily one of our most productive and likable coworkers.

I use the same laptop bag for several trips a year, so I often don’t clear out all the pockets. The other day I realized I’ve been flying back and forth with a lighter I got from Vegas 2 years ago because it was buried at the bottom of a pocket. As for why the hell I had it in my laptop bag in the first place, I have no idea.

Kill your Feeds - Stop letting algorithms dictate how you think

LOL

I was actually thinking about my experience with Lemmy as I was reading this article, particularly how the scrolling is made to generate rage. I don’t filter my feed and just view “all”, but I don’t think I’ve once walked away from Lemmy not in a bad mood.

Now that may be observation bias or something, or a function of how I don’t tailor my own experience, but regardless, Lemmy leaves me angrier when I leave then when I open the app. I’m trying to cut back and eventually quit.

This analogy also shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept of god lol.

God is supposed to be omnipotent, omniscient and somehow existing outside of time and space. Like nothing is supposed to happen unless god wills it. The bee keeper can’t keep track of everything happening to every bee and just adjust things with less than a thought.

It seems it’s up for debate but there is evidence of it being true. And according to the Wikipedia article, he was 12 at the time but had been trying to enlist and tagged along with the 22nd Michigan Infantry since he was 9. His story is fascinating.

I think they’re trying to do the opposite of build a sexist agenda lol. This is facetiously poking fun at the people who say women are too emotional to be president. Atleast that was my interpretation.
