I don’t have a lot of sympathy for any of the idiots that buy these idiotic things.

Sounds about right. RIP I hope your name is remembered for the changes you tried to bring to your people.

Ubisoft directors might need to become comfortable hiding quietly in dark attics when the revolution comes.

What’s your work experience in? What are the goals for your career? What skills do you need for the career you want, are you actively working on developing them?

If you’re not sure, it’s a great time to consider what you’re competent at or enjoy, and do a realistic search of jobs in that field and the qualifications to get them. Best time to start is yesterday. 2nd best time to start is today.

Also, if you have some money saved, consider taking a skill and making money yourself instead of working for a wage. Lots of entrepreneurial info out there and ideas for those willing to take the risk on themselves. Some fields have very low barriers to entry… window washing, grass cutting, almost anything AI related right now, drop shipping, hell even a t-shirt printing business can be set up well for under $500

Ever play Plague Inc? The secret to winning is to not become deadly until you’ve already become engrained and established throughout society. Then you add the deadly features once you’re too deep in.

Don’t let the cancer establish itself as something innocent. The owner of the platform WILL take any opportunity to seize control of the media so it can seize control of the message.

When a major cultural event occurs, symbols and words can be forced into new meanings in that society after having gone through the significant or traumatic event.

The swastika, historically a symbol symbolizing representing well being and prosperity, now cannot be seen without associating it with hatred fascism.

I think it’s relevant for a western country to consider the concept that “Q” can be interpreted in different ways than it was before but a significant number of people, and a large company should have something like that on their radar, especially for a marketing/branding perspective.

I feel like naming something Q is about as tone deaf, or as much of a dog whistle, as making something have the acronym ISIS

Cost of business is factored into price to the consumer. A single freelance contractor trying to help pay rent and groceries for his wife and 2 kids shouldn’t need to eat the increase at the expense of his family’s financial support, so he charges more for his services.

A big company will also increase their costs likewise, but they already have expenses covered and the extra money goes into stock buybacks and board member compensation packages.

All my phone’s have been IP68 rated for over half a decade now, I’m comfortable bringing my phone into the shower for news and to use the selfie camera as a mirror when I shave. My case also physically blocks the charging port as an extra safety measure anyway.

Exactly, it’s just being dumped right now as a pollutant.

Can reject/waste from desalination plants be used for sodium batteries?

Hey, guess which group of people are at a critical developmental stage and currently witnessing the extreme indiscriminate killing of their entire families.

Doesn’t matter if it’s cause Hamas is using them as shield. It doesn’t matter if Israelíes as a whole (or at least a whole lot of them) stand against their government and this action. It doesn’t matter because they and their families are still being exterminated in front of their eyes.

This is creating millions of pissed off people that will hold a grudge their entire life.

cocked up

That’s a different movie than the one I remember

So, Hitler, pretty much.

Who’s taking bets on how long until this guy’s head is left in a box for another billionaire to open?

Critical thinking. Consider the intent of the source.

You don’t need a fancy vacuum to never vacuum again. We have a cheap one and never vacuum either.

A fridge unplugged for 3 weeks with food inside that I had to clean out. I haven’t smelled a rotting corpse but I imagine that it can’t be far off.
