The chicken looks pretty cool too, like he’ll steal your wallet and your girl in between puffs before you even finish coughing.

I don’t think an uprising is going to break out tomorrow as an immediate reaction to his actions.

But at the very least he got a lot of people talking and thinking. People who a year or two ago would call someone “complaining” about the health conglomerates and the way we’re getting fucked crazy.

I was that person called crazy, and now my whole family, neighbors, friends, coworkers are fucking pissed and finally waking up. People who I never thought would.

It certainly doesn’t stop at health insurance, we’re getting killed from 100 different angles. But he got people talking.

Might be an unpopular opinion but, this sounds really exciting to me. I hate fidgeting with my phone and always have been super interested in a true AI type assistant type thing.

It’s a shame no one should ever trust this, regardless of what company makes it.

Oh what the world could be.

That’s interesting to hear. I started out as a web dev and made quite a few transitions until I got the title software engineer, bounced around a few companies until I settled at my current job and since I got that first salary job have never been asked. I even did a short stint of security work a company that had a decent amount of government contracts when I was desperate.

I honestly didn’t think they were still a thing outside of maybe directly in government positions.

I’ve only ever had to pass a drug test for low paying hourly jobs. I’ve never been tested for a salaried position.

I don’t understand how not having social media is a red flag. I know people look at it funny, but I don’t get why.

Not your main point but for the past few years I’ve spent half of the months sick. I got a cold 3 weeks ago, everyone else in the house is better, my throat is still halfway swollen shut, my nose is a broken faucet, my heads still filled with helium. I’ll start feeling better just in time for the Christmas party where I’m almost certain to get sick again.

I went to a doctor to see if there was something wrong with me and got a bunch of test done, got a nice ~$800 bill and haven’t been able to get in touch with the doctor since. I missed 2 calls from them about a week after my tests and since has been calling in a couple times a month to find out if there’s something up but I keep getting “the doctor will call you back later”.

I would like to assume the fact that no one is calling me back means I’m don’t have anything seriously wrong, but I still would like to know for certain.

I did a thing once where everyone brought a gift and some game was played and if you won your round you got to pick the gift you got, or something like that.

The person who picked before me got 2 crisp $100 bills, the person after me got airpods. I got… A painted rock, I was so excited. It was the only gift that someone put actual effort into and wasn’t just a quick buy.

Not that I would’ve been upset with $200 but I still have that rock sitting in my garden

I would have to lightly disagree about Linux. I think for the average person, just using a browser and occasionally editing a document, some distros are absolutely plug and play.

Installing it can be overwhelming for people unfamiliar but once it’s installed there’s not much to do aside from use it.

My sisters been using Linux for years since most of her schooling has been online, she was on mint for a while and then I switched her to Fedora. The gnome interface was the biggest hurdle to get over and she figured it out in about 10 minutes. She uses firefox, libre office for documents and sheets, the software app to keep everything up to date and install stuff. That’s all there really is to it. The only time she’s ever called me for help is when she changed her password and forgot what it was.

I think if it came pre installed people would do fine.
