@Cousin_Vito found out that one of the complaints was about me, because I said no didn’t like the Untied CEO, because he was a tranny, and I didn’t feel that as the head of the company it was appropriate to push that agenda. Businesses should be neutral when it comes to those types of issues.
That apparently is attacking the LGBTQIAPLMZHELU communities.
@Cousin_Vito and because I listen to podcasts of a political nature at work that she didn’t agree with. I always listen to podcasts with my earbuds in, never over the Bluetooth speaker at my desk. The speaker was only for music via Sirius XM, and then only on the lowest volume setting so as not to disturb anyone else with my 80’s hair metal music.
plus… now that she’s gone and you guys aren’t going to rat me out… I’ll just say it, there is a 50-50 chance “she” was a he anyway. At the very least she was a lesbo (which I just found out today, though I would have thought it just by looking at her)
@Cousin_Vito @DaddyO honestly, this company has shifted so much since about 2019 into the woke bullshit. I was “reminded” that I should be mindful of what I say and who I say it to, and that we want to foster an accepting environment not matter anyone’s beliefs, etc.
@DaddyO @Cousin_Vito watching your mouth… what you say and who you say it to is always a good idea though. I used to do that all the time, but I think I got way too comfortable around some of my coworkers that I have worked with for a while.
It's a tough balance to maintain. I like to wise crack and make people laugh at work because it lightens some of the dreariness - but I'm waiting for the day someone not in our group over hears and reports me. I try to be aware of my audience, but being too cautious makes things not funny or spontaneous.
It's frustrating normal folks are forced to tip toe around mentally ill retards.
@Cousin_Vito @DaddyO “I like to wise crack and make people laugh at work because it lightens some of the dreariness - but I'm waiting for the day someone not in our group over hears and reports me.”
Exactly. And like you said, know your audience. The people I have worked with for years know me and know I’m just messing around. New people, maybe not so much so I try to play those cards close to my chest until@I get a feel for how I can act around them.
apparently we were doing an MRB one day and I was standing around with all the women folk discussing things when a maint. dept employee walked by and said something to the effect of a “a rooster among the hens”.
Co-worker #1 felt this was directed at her because she is gay, and he was calling her manly, rather than referring to me being the only guy in a group of 5 other women.
This is what you get when you see your whole world thru the eyes of the victim mentality.
@DaddyO @Cousin_Vito oh, and again… 50-50 that said “chick” was a tranny. “Her” name is Jackie. Was roughly 6’ tall, had NO figure (boobs, hips, etc.) and walked and dressed like a dude. So yeah, always thought she was gay at least, but now hearing how “offended” she was, definitely could have been a tranny.
@Vox @Cousin_Vito sorta feel the same way, but also feel like this is somehow going in my personnel file and will come back to haunt me. Even though HR said “you’re not in trouble, etc.”, i feel like that is something that they are all taught to say when talking about things like this with employees.
Seriously, I remember saying something about getting a steak, or maybe a big thick burger, and she said something to the effect of you don’t have to eat meat. I replied with I like meat.
I don’t know that she was a vegan, but after that comment, I assumed. At the very least she was a vegetarian.
@Cousin_Vito @Peaceandprosperity and I talked with another co-worker who had the same of questions asked, and she said the same thing, that bitch was crazy. Apparently she told HR that I thought the other women in my dept were ratting me out to the boss (I’m the only guy other than the director of the dept.).
I never said that. It’s a lie. Told co-worker #2 and she agreed. That’s what has me pissed off.
Quality Assurance. And no idea. I remember saying something when we were looking to fill a position in our dept a couple of years ago how we needed more men (because I was the only one). After I said it I thought, I hope someone doesn’t go and complain to HR about that.
@Cousin_Vito @Peaceandprosperity there is one lady for sure that I can count on to defend me. One I am not really sure about, and one that I DO NOT say anything around, because I don’t trust her one bit.

I'm using CloneZilla right now to copy an OS from a slow hard drive to a faster SSD (both SATA).
It's on a Dell E6530 - not the best machine, but still capable of a lot of common computing tasks. The owner plans on continuing to use Windows 10 on it as a secondary laptop and wants to extend its life.
On this laptop, I just used gparted to move a partition and extended the NTFS partition of the "C" drive in Windows, as I migrated from a 320GB HDD to a much larger 1TB SSD.
For these kinds of tasks, I usually use a Linux Mint Debian Edition USB to live boot the machine.

Die unglaublichen gesundheitlichen Vorteile der Brombeerknospen – wahre Tresore voller Nährstoffe, die dir helfen, gesund & vital zu altern - ein richtiger Jungbrunnen der Natur. Sie sind nicht nur ein Geheimtipp für Langlebigkeit, sondern unterstützen auch deine Nieren, Knochen, Gelenke & das Gehirn. Und das Beste? Sie schmecken fantastisch – eine exotische Mischung aus Kokos & Vanille, die sowohl im Winter als auch Frühling genossen werden kann.
Es stimmt, dass sie nach Kokos schmecken, aber trotzdem möchte man nur bedingt davon naschen. Ich habe das probiert (ich probiere ALLES!), und manchmal braucht man ja eine Weile. Es ist zu aufwändig, und dafür müssten sie dann doch besser sein. Was nicht heißt, dass man den Speisezettel damit nicht bereichern kann, aber da gibt es ja noch Vieles und Besseres
So weit hab ich mich noch gar nicht durch die Natur genascht. Jetzt bin ich wirklich neugierig, was ist noch besser als Brombeerspitzen? Kokos und Vanille klingt doch schonmal gut! Teste ich gleich morgen! Äh, nach dem CSD
Ceding care of the poor to leftism rather than Christianity has been an absolute disaster for the poor. Even many nominally Christian charities see themselves as social workers with Jesus tacked on. But it's very clear that leftoids fully believe that happiness is just brain chemicals, so unhappy people just get given antidepressants or HRT or crack pipes or assisted suicide to make the badfeel go away, instead of teaching the poor Christian perseverance in suffering and virtue. There is no atheist Mother Teresa because there can be no atheist Mother Teresa.
Prolly not very good for 'Murica-Canuckistan relations. BTW, can someone please tell Trump that it's the end buyer who pays the tariffs, not the guy exporting stuff to ya. You know, just so he stops misleading the Muricans (which I'm absolutely sure is totally unintentional) 😉

Cancer. Got a tongue nodule and neck mass. Treated with radiation and chemo. 35 days Radiation over 7 weeks did a hell of a job chewing up tongue, throat and neck. It killed my taste buds. They gotta regrow. Therapy stopped 4 days ago. Had a bit of taste yesterday but today it's gone.
No! The radiation has basically given me a continuing 2nd degree burn across the back of my tongue. While I can't taste, I still get the "burn" of spicy stuff on that area. Same with carbonated sodas etc.
Unite and Strongly Condemn US Bombing in Iran — NDFP
The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) joins all peace-loving and democratic forces around the world in condemning in the strongest terms the US imperialist government of Donald Trump for the bombing of three Iranian nuclear facilities in the early morning hours of June 22.
The US bombing of Iran, that follows more than one week of missile strikes by the Zionist state of Israel, is a brazen violation of Iran’s national sovereignty and a gross crime against international law.
The pretext about Iran’s program for developing nuclear weapons, that Trump has used to justify the US bombing, is the same justification that Benjamin Netanyahu for firing missiles against Iran. This has been repeatedly dismissed by experts and even by the US intelligence agency as groundless.
The “preemptive strikes” carried out by the US and Israel are based on claims similar to the big lie of “weapons of mass destruction” which the US imperialists used to justify its invasion and overthrow of Saddam Hussein in more than twenty years ago.
In weaving such a narrative, the US imperialists insists that it alone has the right to determine who can develop and possess nuclear weapons. It also insists on having the unfounded right to impose its will on any country, and to punish anyone that does not bow to its authority based on its nuclear-backed military power.
The US bombing derails the efforts of the Arab community and leading European countries, along with Iran, to push for negotiations to forge a nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Trump himself abrogated the non-proliferation treaty in 2018 and has shown no interest in restoring it. Instead, he threatens to assassinate the Iranian Supreme Leader, calls for the overthrow of the Irani government, and demands its “unconditional surrender.”
By dropping bombs on Iran, Trump wants to extend his authoritarian style of government beyond the borders of the US. The desire of US President Trump to reign as global king must be condemned and rejected by freedom-loving people of the world.
The US bombing of Iran constitutes an outright war of aggression. The clear objective of this war is for Iran to surrender its sovereignty and the country’s wealth and resources. In seeking to force Iran to its knees, the US aims to control the vast oil resources of the country and the region.
Iran has all the right to defend its sovereignty and interests against the US-Israel war of aggression. We support the Iranian people as they rise up in their millions against the much detested US imperialist ogre.
By declaring war against Iran, Trump has roused calls for him to be impeached and removed from office, for having done so without congressional approval. In the coming days and weeks, it will certainly galvanize calls for him to be ousted from power. The American people are fed up by his authoritarianism and are ready to take action to put an end to his tyranny. They have the support of all freedom-loving forces around the world.
People all over the world, including the Filipino people, must stand with the people of Iran, as well as with the Palestinian people, in fighting the US-Israel war machine, as it rampages through the Middle East to force nations to bow to its power, and surrender their freedom. In Gaza, the US-supported Israeli bombing has killed close to 60,000 people, maimed hundreds of thousands more, and caused a massive humanitarian crisis characterized by disease and hunger. Israeli occupying forces have been daily killing hundreds of Palestinians in desperate food lines.
Trump must be made to pay for his transgressions. Otherwise, he will only be emboldened to commit even worse crimes as the US imperialists desperately avoid a recession amid a deepening global capitalist crisis, and seek to redivide the world to get the biggest share of the plunder for itself.
In ordering the bombing of Iran, Trump has pushed the world closer to the precipice of a prolonged and more intense armed conflict, that runs the risk of pulling more and more countries into the vortex of a war covering the Middle East and beyond, and causing even greater sufferings on millions upon millions of people, including hundreds of thousands of Filipino migrant workers toiling overseas.
The Filipino proletariat and people must stand firmly against US imperialists wars. They must denounce the puppet Marcos regime for having allowed the US to build more military bases, deploy thousands of US troops, stockpile its weapons and stage one war exercise after another on Philippine soil, air and seas. They must resolutely fight against US imperialist wars, and stand firm and united in demanding an end to US military intervention and military presence in the country.
The Filipino people must organize mass protests to manifest their indignation against the US imperialists and its Israeli Zionist lackeys for the war of aggression against Iran, and to manifest solidarity to the Iranian and Palestinian people as they fight to defend their rights and their land. They must fight the Marcos regime whose subservience has allowed the US to drag the Philippines to its war strategy.
The Party calls on the Filipino people to join and support the New People’s Army and advance the people’s war, as the principal form of struggle to fight the puppet Marcos regime and the US-supported reactionary armed forces. By intensifying and expanding the people’s war against the US puppet troops of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Filipino people effectively contributes to the struggle of the people of the world to fight and prevent imperialist war.

Meet Patriot Front Participant and Neo-Nazi David Isaac Hamilton (AKA “Hunt’wa N’wah”)
Last year, our group received anonymous email tips about a neo-Nazi who we had only known by his online alias, “Hunt’wa N’wah.” (Initially, he used “Huntwa N’wah” without the first apostrophe.) One email we received provided an actual name for “Hunt’wa,” which we worked to verify. “Hunt’wa” is David Isaac Hamilton (DOB 8/24/2005). Hamilton is affiliated with the neo-Nazi cult of “Aryanity” as well as Patriot Front, a racist and fascist organization that operates nationally. Hamilton now goes by “Hunter” online. Although he is from Georgia, he may how be spending time in Tennessee.

There are policies that the left and the right both agree on. But those aren't the centrist policies.
There are policies that the left loves and the right hates, because the left needs them to survive, and policies that the right loves and the left hates, because cruelty.
Centrists are politicians that siphon away the political power of those that vote to survive, and use that power to enact the cruel policies desired by the right.
As in: Get elected by Black people... then make police brutality and mass incarceration *worse*.🤡
Or block ending the filibuster.🤡
Maybe a politician really does think that the problem with the US is that we are *not cruel enough* to Black people. That there should be *more* Black people in jail, and *more* cops, and *fewer* libraries, and *worse* schools.🤷🏿♂️
So let them get elected by the people on the right that believe that.

If you want to talk about weight and health, make sure to include yoyo-dieting, stigma and weight discrimination in that discussion, because they are all harmful to people's health.
Remember, the main reason so many firms push you to use their apps when you can do the same stuff via their websites is that apps typically give them far more insight into your activities on your phone, even often unrelated to that app. So when you can use the websites, it's often best to say NO to the apps.
"The app is free, it takes seconds to sign up and you'll save $5 on your next transaction." "Honey, I work in system administration. Do you know how much data these apps hoover to your corporate office? Your WhatsApp messages, your dating profiles, your Amazon transactions the last six months? Your bank accounts aren't in the feed, but who you bank with, where you bank at and any texts or emails reporting your balances certainly are. Your friends and family, where they live, what schools and restaurants you all go to, your medical bills, ANY bills that serve late notices to you for that matter..."
(I don't have that down memorized, but it's easy to spontaneously keep going. Especially Android, if you give an app all default permissions, it can send anything local to your phone to a third party, no matter what app it is.)
It's that bad where if a business insists on payment through an app or that I leave, I go buy tacos somewhere the hell else.
I’ve been doing this as much as possible, but sometimes you run into the most absurd thing you’ve ever seen, like the time I walked into a burrito place, saw a guy making a quesadilla, and decided to order one at the counter, only to be told that you could only order quesadillas from the app. By the person at the counter. Telling me to my face. That I could only order the product I was five feet from via an app.
this is one of my main jams in life. Have been a sysadmin since the mid 90s.
Ive been shouting about how "apps" are "programs" and "devices" are "Personal Computers" for years. When you click "ok" on an app, you are agreeing to a philosophical change that allows those vendors to reach far outside the usual limits of what ethical software does.
Today, the "cellphoneification" of the desktop OS is almost done, thanks to smartphones pushing billions to think this is normal, ethical.
top tip: if a website tells you something's only available in the app, turn on desktop view mode to trick it into thinking you're actually at a computer, not on a phone. You might have to zoom and scroll around a bit more, but generally everything actually works.
What Country are you in? Worked fine for me just now. Only thing it did was redirect from the UK version to the International version shortly after loading.
It's worth noting that both the Obama and Biden administration also pushed against nationwide injunctions, such as the ones issued by a judge in Texas that the GOP always ran to for attempts to block Obamacare, for gun issues, etc. Yes, the Supreme Court waited until now to push back on nationwide injunctions, but in the future the GOP is likely to have buyer's remorse on this when the tables are turned.
@ChuckMcManis They'll turn. One way or another. Not necessarily as peacefully as usual, but they'll turn. Especially if Democrats stop behaving like idiots.
I agree that one has to always make the assumption, that in time (where time may be measured in decades or centuries) things will change. We did an interesting exercise in high school history where the teacher asked us to imagine a United States where the Confederacy had won. Like the current administration it did things to prevent reversion to constitutional principles. I'd love to get back to the rule of law in my lifetime but will settle for in my kid's lifetime.
This Supreme Court doesn't give a shit about respecting precedent. Even their own precedent they just established within the last few years. Hence as you just said, they have repeatedly upheld nationwide injunctions ... Until now, when it's to their advantage to block them. There's nothing stopping them from just overturning themselves the moment it allows someone to slow or stop a liberal policy that fash don't like.
The 12 days of fighting between Iran and Israel, along with the U.S. intervention, left a deep impact on all three countries. Where do each stand now that the fighting has stopped, and what comes next?
Working on removing old concrete fence post anchors and the bottoms of the former posts.
This is not fun.
A friend asked me why not just dig new post holes next to them? And the sad fact is, there are so many rocks in this yard that smashing concrete is actually easier.
