Yeah, that makes sense too.

I’m certainly not kidding about it. Associating with communism or people who associate with communism is a big NO. And it doesn’t exactly make sense anymore, but that’s the FBI for you

No.

However, anything that requires security clearance or is PR for the employer will (in the US at least).

If you want a job that needs clearance, I recommend closing your social media now, stopping all drugs now, and wait at least 7 years before applying to those jobs. Limit travel. Work to have any mental health records destroyed (idk if you can actually do this) and cancel therapy. Stop using Lemmy, and don’t do anything that remotely indicates that you associate with divergent cultures (i.e. communism or anarchism).

For PR - just stay off social media and drugs and don’t talk about work except in an extremely positive way.

I mean my ex wife had what she called “resting bitch face.”

Everyone else just said she’s emotionless and has the exact same monotone of voice outside of her “customer service” voice. She could get angry, but she really didn’t get angry she just got loud. Until she typically lost it then it was different.

Looking back on it, people always told me “there’s something off about her.” I always kind of brushed it aside cause she was hot.

The security these people hire aren’t the same security you are thinking of.

These are PMCs. PMCs make quite a bit more cash, and have military training to ignore some of that self-preservation.

That being said - it’s still a game of numbers.

I was going to say, no fucking way does this work like they hope it will.

Numbers are against them. Far, far against them.

$250k a year?

That’s it?

Sounds like it needs to get a bit more expensive.

For me?

Nothing, other than “I tried it with ChatGPT” before they bothered with Documentation.

Fuck anyone who skips documentation

Hmmm. Hmmm? I didn’t really think about incarcerated before. But I suppose if you were imprisoned for a law you don’t agree with, the way to change it is voting.

By keeping prisoners from voting, you prevent law from changing.

A public parking lot or parking space seems to be a good place for a car.

Are we talking about incarcerated felons, or felons that served their time?

No, that’s silly. You’ll both be campers at “Liberty Rehabilitation Camp!”

In my experience? If you are going to do the formal classes and work that lines up with a certificate, might as well do all of it and get it. It can’t hurt.

At the same time, there is no real reason a cert is better than experience. It’s more of easy proof of the date that you learned the technology, so it stuff has changed it’s easy to show you the new stuff.

Well. I mean, that’s pretty cool. I don’t think I would have ever guess that was an actual function from systemd but here we are

I’m sort of alarmed how accurate it is.

I even played with Arch, Debian and went through college with a MacBook pro.

If the current leading theory of dark matter being a fundamental particle means that there were “two big bangs” why would the dark big bang have to appear second?

I knew it was bloody and thousands had been slaughtered, but I’m so surprised they fought back. I never learned they actually had the chance to. So many survivors and observers too. That’s reassuring.

It means that the Chinese know their government is not omnipotent. That’s why all legal communication is unencrypted and monitored. If citizens were allowed to communicate as they do in the West, they’d be able to organize and overthrow the CCP.

That’s what they are afraid of. The people aren’t afraid of the mechanized power the PLA has, and as demonstrated in 1989, the power is in numbers. If the CCP doesn’t wipe out all memory of Tiannemen Square, they are doomed. But the CCP can’t. Unless they cut China off from the rest of the world entirely, the knowledge will remain. The CCP can only get stricter and harsher, speeding up the time for a pressure cooker to explode. They know this. The people know this.

At some point in the future, they will go too far, and the people will end it.

I fucking love Saddam Hussein’s Hiding Place.

You really never know where it will pop up next.

How do you people sit with anything in a back pocket

Also how do you people keep shit in the same pocket? Hell usually everything ends up in the opposite pocket I first put it in anyway
