I aim to be more human. I aim to be less apathetic as a human. Apathy grows, like a tree, and I aim to prune my own.

    Last night at about 2AM I went for a walk around town because it was really nice out, and the quiet stillness of liminality is very peaceful.

    I ended up by some sort of community center building, didn’t really pay much attention to what it was and I havent really been down that way before, but there was a flock of deer on the lawn, two standing and five more laying down.

    I sat myself down on the curb across the street, and interacted with them for about half an hour. They make weird noises. I had no idea.

    They did not like the “hiiiiii baaaaaabyyyyyy!” Treatment, but they did seem to like/were interested in rapid clicking. They didnt approach me or anything, which is just as well those fuckers are scary up close, but we mutually watched each other and that was fun.






  • I used to work at a company that processed business-end taxes.

    I’m going to make my American compatriots very uncomfortable - I’ve very possibly seen your full social and address info. We handled about a third of all business taxes. I don’t care to use any of it, cuz I also got wage info. Y’all broke. (Same)

    because the company I worked for processed your taxes. And your HR people are garbage and don’t know how to do their job.

    I cannot tell you how many times I had to request my IT team to scrub files from our retention policy because your shitty HR sent it to me in cleartext to troubleshoot instead of through our encrypted box.




  • Well shit, I do that with google maps anyway (only one that seems to work decently for me, but they don’t need to know specifically where I’m going.)

    Does it have the “avoid highways” option? I have an EV now and I started to avoid highways as a result, and then I realized its just so much more peaceful and hardly takes more time, and now all my driving avoids highways.




  • I’m not talking about NASA’s budget that pays NASA workers here. Im very well aware that they get peanuts and do amazing things. But if we are launching parts for a permeant moon base, we are going to be paying for launches through spacex, since nasa doesn’t maintain shuttles or anything anymore. That’s millions more into the pockets of the most obscenely rich person on earth, who has zero concern for literally anyone but himself, and cuts every single corner he can. And there are always other manufacturing contracts that go out for this sort of thing and guess who is going to get all of those? That’s right, other rich assholes who cut corners and support facism. For a project with dubious usefulness. There is very little we can gain from a manned moon base, that can’t be accomplished in existing research facilities, or done more easily and cheaply by rovers.

    Im aware that starlink is worse. Its owned by the same rich asshole who’s gunna be adding more debris from the launches for moon base parts. Funny how that works, isn’t it? But if you think building a permanent moon base is only gunna take a few launches, you are sorely mistaken. Each launch can only send up so much material, and even pre-made modules require work to actually assemble. The ISS, for example, required 40 assembly flights. Then we’ll be sending regular supply missions.

    Thats a huge amount of pollution and littering for a stunt. And yeah, we can work on multiple things at once, but we aren’t. I addressed that in my original comment.




  • I’m aware of that and don’t care, that’s the problem of whomever is poorly and impersonally doing hiring.

    If they don’t want thousands of applicants, there are tons of recruitment strategies that avoid that problem, like job fairs, employee referral bonuses, direct recruitment, and working with agencies for placements, to name only four off the top of my head.

    If they want to send their ad to the wolves, they won’t get good results, but they will get a lot of them. They are also probably an exceptionally shit place to work because they can’t even recruit talent because they are “suffering from abundance” without resorting to screening out people who can’t do data entry or have better things to do than jumping through hoops.

    Yeah cool. Good for them. Easily fixed problem, but everyone wants unicorn workers, so they don’t need any training, and that requires casting a very wide net and screening out the catch they don’t want.

    Fuck ‘em.




  • I could see that being the case I suppose. The anus is full of blood vessels, and boofing gets it straight to the blood stream instead of breaking down into metabolites in the digestive system. Just very different than any hormone therapy I’ve heard of, for like menopause and stuff. Tho that could just be that old rich white women won’t stick fingers up the bum…

    Now I wonder if ftm have something similar that gets vaginally inserted (only non-oral hole with more blood vessels than the anus is the vagina!)

    Thanks for the info, I feel more informed :)
