Way to go, turning a legitimate question with legitimate answers into an opportunity to insult an unrelated group of people 👍🏽

Used to speak the King’s En-ga-lish

But caught a rash on my lips, so now my chat just like dis

Yes but also when people are telling someone they’re from New York they tend to assume the city, so the follow-up answer is for clarification. The state is big and wildly different from NYC

The best way I can describe the emotional difference is that Reznor’s version depicts ruinous destruction of a young person’s life, and Cash’s version depicts a lifetime of regret. Their literal ages obviously help convey it, but the arrangement and style really sell it

Bones in the Water by Battle of Mice. I’ve never heard that level of unhinged screaming in my life. Plus it’s creepy as fuck

I went to their about page and realized I was in over my head.

I lived overseas when I was a kid and my grandma used to tape Saturday morning cartoons and mail them to me

Yes I meant unbiased, but I was unsure if even using that word would be taken the wrong way. I don’t want to be taken as a centrist or anything like that, because I’m not even close.

I just want a flat clinical review of what it says versus what it actually means without clickbait sensationalism. It is plainly bad, that much is obvious. But what are the real-life, bureaucratic implications of its potential execution?

Thanks for the link, I’ll definitely check it out.

Is there a neutral review of project 2025 that you can point to? That site is ass and either points to a book you can buy or a thousand links to PDFs.

Yep the world is all kinds of fucked up haha. But you do what you can with what you’ve got I guess

Having grown up where David Duke also lives, ambiguously failing the paper bag test, and coming of age during 9/11, I encountered a wide variety of racial insults. Many of them involved the n-word.

The most memorable one for me happened after the orator learned that I was neither black, Arabic, Hispanic, Italian, nor Asian.

“Oh you’re Hawaiian? I heard you Island N-words don’t even sing the National Anthem.”

The other aggressors as well as my friends burst into laughter at how ridiculously stupid his statement sounded. Even his buddy was like, “Hawaii is a state you fucking idiot.”

The encounter ended and we all moved on but I still laugh when it pops into my head

I still use Instagram to keep up and chat with friends and Facebook only because my kid’s school only posts there

I was present for a SKD moment. It was at a dinner table with some friends and a lot of new aquaintances. One of these new people was very obviously a shithead. No one liked this loud-mouthed guy, except he was a “brother” or whatever college Greeks call them.

This other girl was reading the half-blood prince- it had just came out the week before. She brought it to the table for some reason. Probably couldn’t wait to continue right after dinner. He sees it, gives a knowing look around the table. I looked right at him and said. “Don’t you fucking dare. Ben, stop your asshole friend from ruining toni-”

SKD!!!

She was talking to someone and didn’t quite hear him. But she could see the rest of us looking down at our hands what he shouted slowly dawned her and she fucking yelled so loud, left the restaurant and cried outside until we came out. She couldn’t leave entirely because we were on a road trip. I felt so horribly for her. When the trip ended I never saw her again.

Oh and my supervisor quit a month later, right after he got the end of year bonus. I don’t blame him. Good dude. He helped a lot of the team secure other jobs in the industry within 3 months

That happened to me. I noticed a vague Monday morning meeting when I logged on. Checked with my team to see if they knew what it was about and no one knew. Supervisor was MIA on slack. Just before it starts we got a group text from him that essentially said, “what the fuck. I’m so sorry guys. I’m not allowed to speak or I’m immediately fired”

I checked the invite list and, sure enough… VP of department, VP of HR, my supervisor, and my small team. I instantly knew we were all fired.

Joined the meeting a few minutes early and it was just my teammates all wondering out loud what’s going on. They’re all pretty young. Couldn’t help but blurt out, “nice knowing yall…”

Supervisor texts me with “please don’t, we’ll grab a drink right after this”

The cool executives log and blah blah blah your team is getting shuttered thanks bye.

We did get drinks at 9:30 in the morning.

Also we aren’t a reddit repository. If someone wants all the reddit posts in their community they should just be using reddit.

I’m about to bootcamp myself out of my current career and into IT. My related experience is limited and this is a major (and costly) move for me. Cashing out an old 401k to finance it. Otherwise I’d be taking a predatory loan from Sallie Mae…

I’ll be starting from scratch, probably doing entry-level work. But I’m ok with that because I’ll eventually be able to better provide for my family, and I’m so broke and stressed that my hair is thinning. Check out springboard or thrivedx. My bootcamp is through them (haven’t decided between software engineer or cybersecurity) but handled by a local university.

Thank you!

Wait… What does that mean for me, whose account is on lemmy.dbzer0.com ? Legitimate question, I’m not totally familiar with how everything works yet

I was in a computer class during 9/11. Not fully understanding the magnitude of the events, we basically checked kazaa over and over to see how long it took for a clip from CNN to get uploaded. It was about 5 minutes. We also played tribes (2?) a lot in that class. It’s also where I saw my first beheading on the Internet 😢
