“If only women could be young tight assed boys” thought the Republican lawmakers.

One of my best friends is from Brantford, huge hockey nut and a big Gretzky fan and man this must sting her so bad and it’s understandable. Gotta be so frustrating.

As one of the “Lemieux is the GOAT” crowd… LOL

A fun reminder that during the pandemic, before AI, there was a backlog in new cars because all the crucial chips were unavailable due to an increase in bullshit like wifi enabled toasters.

It has nothing to do with AI. Consumers are asking for this shit and companies are delivering.

Am I the only person that still types “command” in the search? It’s windows who is typing “terminal”?

Yes I know it’s a terminal, but it’s never been called that AFAIK. It’s always been the command prompt.

Depends on if it’s being carried by an African or European swallow.

My honest opinion. The right pipeline is meeting boys where they are. The left needs to stop pontificating about shit and get on their level.

It’s no different than the fact that the education system as it’s been designed is easier for girls to navigate than boys. Look at post-secondary attendance by gender over time.

This is a problem that has been brewing for decades and we have done nothing to stop it and the right wing despite all their faults are actually engaging these boys where they are.

If you are a parent. Hell if you are a mother, you should be scared as shit at how your sons are checking out of society writ large.

I’m a 48 year old dude with 3 kids. My daughter will be fine. My boys on the other hand? I’m doing my best to make sure they’re adjusted and successful but it’s exceedingly hard.

Meh it’s all semantics. I consider myself middle class and I make almost 200$k a year. I have more in common with the homeless guy at the go train station than I do with the CIO of my company.

I wish more people were this way. It’s why I still prefer taking public transit. It grounds me. I’d rather be around people struggling to get by than those who have never known what it’s like to put hotdogs in your mac & cheese.

Edit - and to people going I’m rich. Im divorced and have 3 kids of which 2 are on the spectrum. I am living comfortably but if I lost my job I’m in the same boat or worse than some of you. I live modestly and do more than anyone may think to support as many people as I can.

Anecdotally it’s scary the amount of process knowledge IT workers are supposed to document because the business will just shrug and go “I just copy the file to this folder and it ends up in our general ledger”

I have said for years something similar but if you’re in IT you should be mandated to spend a part of your year working on helpdesk and providing Operational support requiring on call. Too many CS wonks now in IT who come right from school into development and/or management pipeline.

Americans are just learning what us lower middle class families have been doing for decades already?

Welcome to the wonderful world of potlucks where aunt Nancy brings the same disgusting dry ham every year but it’s ok because uncle Mark brings the same potato casserole which slaps.

Some journalist should start calling them all Smaug. The problem is a bunch of us asshats would then be like “Smaug did nothing wrong!”

The solution if anyone wants to cheat the system is become friends with Indiana and Africans. Back home it’s common practice to find family and/pr people to write those papers for you. I know of multiple people in Canada who have done this albeit for collage but same shit different pile.

Edit - and for anyone who might complain I very much live by “don’t hate the player hate the game.”

If you live outside of the 1st world you would already know the game is rigged. They’re exploiting it, you should be too.

Ms has different releases for Europe due to legal requirements

So the colea notes is in the old world DB was how it was setup. You paid company a set amt of money and they set you up with x dollars a month for the rest of your life.

Fine when boomers are a massive cohort propping it up via sheer volume alone with people dying younger.

We started living longer and surprise future cohorts are not massive like the boomers. That means the model of DB is not economically feasible. Around the world from left and right countries you are seeing this. Public pensions are being rewritten and people are rightly angry but you cannot sustain the model.

This is why the collective move to DC specifically when it comes to newer employees. What you get is tied to what you put in.

Ok is this legit if so Roflcopter

Instructions unclear my dick is now stuck in the toilet

So first you melt some sand…

Granted my parents are poor and have no pension but no, I don’t want their pension i didn’t earn it.

If you meant having similar structure pensions as in defined benefit vs. defined contribution you’re damn right but they’re not fucking sustainable and that’s why we are in such a mess. To make our parents or grandparents pensions sustainable requires a hell of a lot more investment in them and/or shareholder greed to fuck off and companies re-prioritize their wealth accordingly.

Both of those solutions are a big LOL.
