The truth is the winners have already won, and no one else ever will. They do not intend to make the American Dream obtainable for anyone but Those Approved.

It's a big club. You aren't in it. I'm not in it. everyone you or I know isn't in it. You know when your in it, because you benefit from this. If you will likely lose benefits, like all of us will, you aren't in the club.

How do you fight those in power uninterested in giving up that power?

You take it from them.

peopleproblems , 1 month ago to Technology in Any LinkedIn alternatives?

The amount of jobs I've gotten through LinkedIn: 0.

The number of people I have found from highschool/college/random person on the street who I can't find in Facebook: waaaaaay too many. If it didn't tell you who was looking for you, linkedin would be far creepier of a stalking tool. I mean, shit I've found people I've only seen a picture of. Now I know where they work, where they used to work, and went to school. By extension I now also know where they likely used to live and at least the general area that they live now (provided they don't work remote that is).

The more I think about LinkedIn, the more I want to remove my profile.

peopleproblems , 1 month ago to Technology in The Internet Archive is under a DDoS attack

"The data is not affected." You know, that's an interesting thing to point out. The attackers clearly want to restrict access to information, possibly specific information, possibly information in general.

However, whoever is in charge of this DDoS is clearly fulfilling a directive of "prevent access to it." And they clearly don't realize that a DDoS is temporary. Do they have a plan for when it's back up? They can't just DDoS forever, unless they plan on DDoSing the entire internet. And I don't see them having the resources literally the rest of the world has.

Which is exactly why I'm treating both at the same time. Doc got me on Wegovy, and starting out playing beat saber (holy shit 30 minutes of that is incredible, sweat, aches everywhere, maybe not visible progress but damn I feel like moving is less effort) and in therapy for everything in my life.

Right now I'm learning my strengths. Hard to do for someone without a lot of confidence.

Honestly the pain may be the part that causes the addiction. For me it started when I was 11. I was stressed, untreated for ADHD, and an eyelash was in the way so I just plucked it. The result was immediate relaxation. The next time I got an eyelash I just plucked it before I got stressed. Then I started plucking em when I was bored. Then puberty came and I got the same obsession with ance. That was a long one, then it went to these weird gland things in my mouth for a little bit, then it started on my beard which is by far the worst. It doesn't hurt anymore, but the moment it itches, fuck everything.

It's not an urgent anymore it's like scratching an itch. It's automatic. I can't control it undless I have gloves or wrist braces for the carpal tunnel doing this gave me.

I knew water pressure got high pretty fast, but damn, didn't know it was that fast

peopleproblems , 1 month ago to Technology in First human brain implant malfunctioned, Neuralink says

My aunt and uncle are Deaf and contentious is pretty accurate.

I get why cochlear implants are shunned, but I don't get why it's such a hot button to even consider. We give paraplegics wheelchairs y'know

peopleproblems , 2 months ago to Technology in ByteDance won't sell TikTok, would rather pull it from the US

It's pretty weird that they'd admit it.

The smart move would have been to sell it and take the L, and use the new money to build the next thing.

peopleproblems , 3 months ago to Comic Strips in Country boy [Haus of Decline]

Ha, jokes on you. When I lived in Texas the hat and getup were part of the city just as much as the country.

That being said the local swimming hole was a well maintained pool and the roads were all connected to tolls in some form or fashion so we didn't exactly need to worry about brain eating bacteria and mud trapping our cars
