Scott Adams: “what are the odds that you would be alive at the most interesting time in human history?”

This is one of the biggest blackpills out there and Scott doesn’t realize it.

If humanity ended tomorrow, and you randomly chose a person out of all humans ever alive, there’s a very high chance that that person was alive today. Maybe 30% - 50% odds, like a bell curve.

That implies to me that we are living at peak human, just from birth time probability

New boss eyes my golf shorts, #hawaiianshirt with a cat, #sandals, and jokes "say, do we _have_ a dress code?"

"Eh. Think we do - employee manual hasn't been updated in at least a decade though, and noone has ever given me any grief, and I dance all over it in the summer. In any case, not only do I know that there ARE bodies, I know where they're buried and in most case I buried them to begin with. So if quibbling over dress code is a priority for this company we have way bigger problems."

Oklahoma's Dept of Ed will use right-wing propaganda outlet PragerU to create a test for determining eligibility to teach, measuring applicants' belief in "American exceptionalism" & acceptance of transphobic gender ideology: foxnews.com/politics/exclusive…
Surely other GOP states & Trump's DOE (using funding as leverage) will follow, making acceptance of far-right beliefs a requirement for teaching, just as it's become for hiring federal workers & allowing people from other countries to visit the US.

Steam sales are now over but i managed to snag a couple more games before the end of the sale.

Painkiller Black was awesome I heard the other games were ehh.. Doom Eternal I heard great things but you gotta block the the game from connecting to the internet because it forces you to setup a stupid bethesda account otherwise. I Remember chips challenge from the 1995 pack sold with Jezzball, pipe dream so I figured why not I'll get chips challenge 2 while it's cheap.

I have close family members who have been diagnosed with autism, and my full-time job is being a support worker for adults who have learning disabilities and autism.
This is beyond disgusting.

Gregg Wallace is attempting to downplay his behaviour as being the fault of the BBC and MasterChef production team failing to notice that he has autism.
His friends are backing up the autism claim by saying that it prevents him from wearing underwear.

That doesn't justify sexual assault.

This is why these things can't just be outlawed. Even going about it the scientific way is difficult.

Esa busqueda suele condicionar los mensajes en las rrss.
Mi propuesta para #mastodon es que el numero de seguidores no sea publico pq si estamos en una red social no corporativa donde no se monetizan los contenidos ¿que utilidad tiene publicar el numero de seguidores mas alla del marketing personal como si fuera un escaparate de ventas para darle mas valor al contenido en funcion del numero de seguidores?

Mozilla is cancelling projects and initiatives left and right. Mullvad might be a much better choice at this point.

Illustrating every legendary creature in Wisconsin folklore: The Fish-Fox and the Fish Hound.

Both are of the "fearsome critters" from lumberjack legends, and both are domesticated critters that can help you to catch ludicrous amounts of fish!

The Fish-Fox is, as the name would imply, a combination of fox and fish. It could imitate "the sound of an angleworm" and thus lure vast quantities of fish ashore for its master.

The Fish Hound, by contrast, was neither fish or hound, but rather was a crossbreed between a mink and a helldiver grebe, and this bird-mustelid hybrid just happened to resemble a doggo by shear coincidence (but with mink fur on half its body, and helldiver feathers on the other). The Fish Hound was an expert fisher, and was extremely intelligent. You could tell it the amount of fish you wanted, the type of fish, and even the size, and within moments it would retrieve exactly what you had asked for.

Pour donner une idée du salaire annuel de base d’Anne Lafond, on s’est référé aux données les plus récentes de la SAAQ, publiées en mai dernier.

À ce moment-là, le poste de PDG de la société d’État venait avec une rémunération annuelle de 310 063 $, à laquelle peuvent s’ajouter des bonis, des primes, des frais de fonction ainsi qu’une indemnité mensuelle pour une voiture.

C’est près de cinq fois le salaire moyen au Québec, établi à 65 214 $ selon Statistique Canada.

À titre de vice-présidente aux services aux assurés et assurées, Mme Lafond touchait 242 500 $. Sa nouvelle rémunération représente donc une augmentation de quelque 67 563 $.

Anne Lafond rejoint maintenant le cercle des PDG les mieux payés à la tête d’une société d’État québécoise.

I spent too much time thinking being a #kernel #dev for a #bsd project was like paramount or opus for coding in the *nix world.

Glad to be free of that idea in my brain only I planted there as a teen. Sure, I *could* move forward with being a kernel programmer if I pushed for it, but just a source of #joy

I do appreciate the OpenBSD, NetBSD, and even FreeBSD (I say even because I never really used FreeBSD in a serious context like OpenBSD and NetBSD), but I can do that without having an active part in it and still be happy letting that unhealthy bucket-list item expire.

I don't need to prove myself to anyone, I've done enough in my life so far.

At this point in life, I've definitely honed in on what brings me joy and what doesn't with technology. My career is stable and in-demand, I don't need to always be improving it.

#Retrocomputing is where it is at for me now. It's still flexing the same muscles but with greater challenges for near zero functional purpose.

Why would anyone purposefully code 8-bit computers with 64-bit ones exist now with more capabilities with hardware found everywhere for next to nothing?! 😀

Billg who is on the list said the exact same thing as Trump did here. Effectively "epstein is dead why are we still talking about him?"

My whole job is constantly reloading five potential responses to everything I have to read to respondents. The whole trick is never missing a beat so people don't begin to develop doubt or begin critical investigation. You don't want a survey respondent to think about anything other than what you're asking them. Popping the bubble is about ten times more work to deal with.

Most people don't have a clue I'm handling them.

Women who claimed Brigitte Macron was born a man are CLEARED of defamation

Me: The article sucked. You would think the Appeals Court provided some legal justification for their ruling, but all the article had to say was this:

"Judges sitting at the Paris Appeal Court on Thursday ruled that Amandine Roy, a 53-year-old clairvoyant, (pictured) and Natacha Rey had every legal right to make the sulphurous allegations".

Today in Labor History July 10, 1894: The Pullman Rail Car strike was put down by 14,000 federal and state troops. Over the course of the strike, soldiers killed 70 American Railway Union (ARU) members. Eugene Debs and many others were imprisoned during the strike for violating injunctions. Debs founded the ARU in 1893. The strike began, in May, as a wildcat strike, when George Pullman laid off employees and slashed wages, while maintaining the same high rents for his company housing in the town of Pullman, as well as the excessive rates he charged for gas and water. During the strike, Debs called for a massive boycott against all trains that carried Pullman cars. While many adjacent unions opposed the boycott, including the conservative American Federation of Labor, the boycott nonetheless affected virtually all train transport west of Detroit. Debs also called for a General Strike, which Samuel Gompers and the AFL blocked. At its height, over 200,000 railway workers walked off the job, halting dozens of lines, and workers set fire to buildings, boxcars and coal cars, and derailed locomotives. Clarence Darrow successfully defended Debs in court against conspiracy charges, arguing that it was the railways who met in secret and conspired against their opponents. However, they lost in their Supreme Court trial for violating a federal injunction.

By the 1950s, the town of Pullman had been incorporated into the city of Chicago. Debs became a socialist after the strike, running for president of the U.S. five times on the Socialist Party ticket, twice from prison. In 1905, he cofounded the radical IWW, along with Lucy Parsons, Mother Jones, Big Bill Haywood and Irish revolutionary James Connolly. In 1894, President Cleveland designated Labor Day a federal holiday, in order to detract from the more radical May 1st, which honored the Haymarket martyrs and the struggle for the 8-hour day. Legislation for the holiday was pushed through Congress six days after the Pullman strike ended, with the enthusiastic support of Gompers and the AFL.
