My rage against capitalism due to growing up in poverty will never subside.

My manager just told me that his manager wants to PIP me. I’m my team’s sole web developer, but our team hasn’t had any web development work for the past few months due to an initiative to improve security. I’ve been struggling with doing this back end work, because I have literally no experience doing it. My manager told me he won’t PIP me (only my direct manager can), because he knows I’m doing my best and he’d be screwed when we have web development work in a couple months. This is mildly reassuring, but his manager doesn’t like him, so I’m not sure how long my manager will stay at the company either

I agree. I really don’t see where an execution takes place changes the fact capital punishment is legal. It’s not like there’s an article over execution facilities in the US or Russia.

However, deleting is a long bureaucratic process where you have to argue with a bunch of no-life randos. Many editors consider it bad form to delete and reword large parts of an article then nominate it for deletion. This is viewed as intentional sabotage and bad faith, even if all you do is delete the unreliable sources. This article touches on this crap.

Well, I tried to remove as much bs as possible and make things more neutral without raising any red flags for the editors of Wikipedia. Hopefully, that’s a bit better and they don’t revert it.

I’m trans and my wife is trans too. We recently fled a red state to a solid blue state because of all the anti-LGBT legislation that was passed. It is absolutely terrifying to watch your rights slowly be stripped away and to see your community become more hostile to you everyday. It really sucks that our only choice for president is an old guy who supports genocide and is apathetic at best to LGBT and women rights and an old guy who supports genocide and is actively hostile to LGBT and women rights.

Sure would be cool if Biden did literally anything to support LGBT rights on a federal level

The Democrats feel entitled to vote of young left wing people, but don’t feel the same entitlement towards swing voters and right wing voters. That’s part of why they try to appeal to the racists instead of the people who should be their base, but aren’t because of “healthcare pls ”

While it costs money, the internet has been a lot more usable for me once I switched to Kagi. It has no ads, promotes small web creators, automatically deprioritizes websites with AI content and trackers, and lets you prioritize and deprioritize your own specific websites.

For example, I have right wing websites like Fox News Info Wars, shitty Fandom wikis with better alternatives, and AI art websites blocked. I have websites like high quality recipe websites that aren’t SEO spam and websites I regularly use raised.

I’m fortunate enough my work computer allows me access to regedit because I was able to turn off web searches in the start menu. It’s so ridiculous there isn’t an option in the UI to do that.

I hate how I no longer have the option for small taskbar icons. That had been an option since Vista. There used to be a regedit workaround, but a recent update removed it for some godforsaken reason!

At my last job, our product depended on an open source project by one of the company’s former employees. I came across a massive bug in our code base that was related to this open source project. Despite the fix for the open source code being like 3 lines, management kept saying, “but we don’t want to help our competitors who might use this.” (No one else used it.) At one point, management asked me why don’t I fix it off the clock because then it wouldn’t be “company resources going into an open source product”. My response was basically “fuck you, pay me.” It took me a literal month to finally convince management.
