My name’s not Rick.

  • If it’s anything like the EU setup, it’s based off of where your iCloud account is based out of. At least I think that was what it was last time I went looking.

  • I have mastodon but I barely use it. I did set up a Bookwyrm too but I don’t maintain it like I should. This is my time sink for sure.

  • Probably the same people running Pokémon card hustles. I recently saw a guy acting all pissy he had to wait in line at target to buy some packs, started berating the workers “you work at target, you’re broke as fuck”. The workers actually went in on him, I was so happy to see it. They made fun of him for trying to hustle over cards for children and told him to go home and cry to his mom about it.

    That’s the kind of loser wasting their time on 2-5 dollar profit per return.

  • Well hey, on the bright side, admitting it is the first step!

  • Starting a new job soon, and I’m paying for some holes in documentation as I prep my offboarding documentation for my current team. Definitely making it a priority to do better going forward! Being lazy in the moment is nice but the “stitch in time” adage is definitely true

  • Bummer. Ill add it to my pile of shattered 2025 dreams

  • Pretty astute. Maybe I can buy a half cooked gpu on firesale in a few years for a budget build… one can dream!

  • Here you go. Beckers newsletter is great to follow if you work in the healthcare space

  • Yup. He just sued the EPIC medical record company this past week or so claiming they are a monopoly. Took me 5 minutes to figure out he’s just mad Epic allows their hospital clients to restrict parents from accessing some of their kids medical information once they’re past the age of 12. I don’t think I have to spell out what he doesn’t want kids to be able to hide from their parents. It’s disgusting. There’s always an ulterior motive with this fuck

  • Cocaine or actual cross country skiing? I guess both work

  • He’s definitely sitting comfortably in the middle of that Venn

    Edit: Lmfao the Palantir account actually started their tweet about this with “While cross-country skiing this morning”

    Do they think we’re stupid?

  • The information war around Venezuela is crazy; it’s so hard to make sense of things. Your comment sparked some interest so I went looking quickly and found this regarding the 91% figure:

    Efecto Cocuyo analysed an April 2024 poll by Hinterlaces and concluded that its methodology was inconsistent, citing contradictory dates, a small sample size, high number of undecided voters, and very high margin of error.[2][3] The poll results were published on website Fuser News, alleged by Efecto Cucuyo to be disseminators of Russian, Iranian, Chinese and Venezuelan state propaganda,[4] and also by Telesur, a state-controlled Venezuelan media company.

    So naturally I ask, who is Efecto Cocuyo?

    The website initially received funding through public donations and crowdfunding in 2015, with its founders seen on the streets in Venezuela asking for support.[1][4][6] Efecto Cocuyo has since been funded by international organizations and refuses to identify its monetary sources.[7] In a WhatDoTheyKnowfreedom of information request in February 2019, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office of the United Kingdom acknowledged funding Efecto Cocuyo.[8]Funding received goes to new-hire reporters and towards "breaking-news analysis, investigative reports and comprehensive content about crucial information".[1]

    I certainly don’t trust Maduro, but I don’t trust the US or UK government either. What a mess. All I know is anyone trying to sell a war can go fuck themselves

  • Wouldn’t that make her a Mrs? Regardless, I laughed

  • That’s it! Thanks

  • This is nearly a decade old and pretty well documented reference-wise, so I trust it. I definitely understand the healthy skepticism.

    Tangentially related, I’ve been buying “carb balance” tortillas instead of regular ones for a while now. They’re not quite as gummy (maybe not the right word but it’s what I can come up with right now) but still pretty damn good and they’re packed with fiber. It’s been a real easy way to work more fiber into my diet. Eating more veggies is still the best source of fiber though, from what I can tell.

  • Sounds like maybe a Gish gallop?

  • That’s diabolical
