iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I seriously, I saw the interview with one of the massage therapists, and I had a flashback to my mom telling me what happened 25 years ago (she refused to say who did it, probably to keep me from doing something reckless). My blood was boiling watching that shit.

My wife is a home care aid. It is insane that $22/ hr for contract work (1099, so subtract %30 for taxes) is considered "good pay".

My mom was a massage therapist, she took a few athletes on as clients from the local AAA baseball team, but stopped taking appts shortly after one of them tried some of this same shit. Fuck everyone involved in his apologia for this rapist. These were professionals doing a job, piece of shit.

I'm now being told they did have one this midterm (weird) and there was a fairly significant poll bump for the other party.

This sneaky way, so you mean giving users instructions on how to bypass it manually with theor admin password? Honestly that'd do it. Any IT department worth anything would NOT let users have that password.

This level of juicelessness needs to be studied.

Oh so the new weights and training made it broken or suck in a new way, and they are scrambling then?

Nah just some guy who'd roll into town, start a family with some poor unsuspecting lady, burn bridges for a fee years until it was time to skip town, rinse amd repeat all along the gulf coast/ deep south.

Yeah I interview a handful of candidates per week lately, and I can't imagine giving a single fuck whether they brought a beverage of some kind. I guess if it was alcohol, that woupd certainly be a choice, but other than that...

"On May 31, 2025, the General Services Administration hired him full time at GS-15, the highest grade in the civil service. He was 19." My dad graduated with an engineering degree, and worked faithfully for 3+ decades for USACE to finally acheive that grade, amd running a division. It's fucked.

Sure we rediculed the idea because it sounded silly, but in reality humanity denied itself of slurp-juice-based technological process. It's truly more tradgedy than farce.

I really hope someone gives him a shit load of money to start his own thing.

Yeah just need Sopranos and a few other HBO box sets I can just cancel that. Oh but Last Week Tonight, well at least most of that goes on youtube.

Well there's a pretty clear difference between locking away deliquents for a little vandalism or petty theft or truancy VS letting folks w/ real power operating in an obviously corrupt and illicit manner.

My oldest is a senior in HS, and maybe 1 or 2 of her classmates could pass for 21, there's no way could I be lax and permissive if I was doing drugs or having sex and a 13 y/o walks in. There's no confusion at play, this is just wildly innapropriate, morally rotten, and straight-up felonious.

They 100% would have "taken the high road" and would have driven us into a ditch. That's coming from someone who thought a lot of the criticism of Biden from the left was counter-productive. Establishment dems are addicted to the idea that they can move past this era w/o a full reckoning.

Look at Abdul's primary results, and the geographic distribution of his support. Dem primary voters did pick the bigger tent. I live up north, and my FIL, an old school trial lawyer Dem. He voted for Abdul, and he has traditionally been a "strategic voter".

11 to 12 hour a day commitment to an ER nurse sounds like a vacation.

If you ever had to work for a tech start-up you probably got one of these as schwag, and for hiking, gotta say it's a good vest. It's adventure gear for me though, not a status indicator.
