I'm pretty decent with tech. I definitely know to turn things off and on again, check wifi connection, etc. I'm good with troubleshooting and such, but the IT person at my work who I interact with most treats me like I'm SO DUMB. But I try to remind myself that there are probably so many people who don't know where the power button is on any of their devices lol.

An example: I get logged out of an account on my computer, so I go to reset my password. The password reset requires an account number that I don't have

Message to IT: hey, I need to reset my password for this program, can you send me the account number for it?

IT: on the main login page, beneath the password bar, there should be a link that says "forgot password?" Click that and you should be able to reset it

Me: 😑 explains that if you click on that link it requires you to enter account number to reset it

IT: oh

It's like night and day....I don't even think the kraft stuff is parmesan at all really. Still bomb on pizza though

Ever since I worked at a hippie grocery store and was taught about what GOOD fresh organic food looks like and tastes like, it's impossible for me to go back to things like that, or frozen bags of green giant veg, or pre sliced or shredded cheese and so on. I'll still eat frozen pizza and nuggies and fast food but as far as cooking for myself, never again

Dang taking the temperature to determine when to close/open the windows is a great idea. I don't have AC in my house and much prefer fresh air so I open windows at night and try to find the perfect time when I should close everything up. I think between 11am-12pm is the sweet spot, but then I worry if I close up too early I'll miss out on more sweet sweet cool air! Lol

Ooo, Cabbage to snack on sounds great. I saw a snack of cream cheese spread on red bell pepper too which is really good. You are definitely speaking my language lol. The mug cake idea sounds pretty easy to whip up too. It's so wild, like why does that seem less labor intensive than cooking a pack of Ramen noodles?!No reason, brain just days so lol.

I recently won an election victory at my workplace, and I'm really trying not to throw in the towel as one of the central organizers. Our local doesn't have paid organizers to help so we are literally doing all of this from the ground up.

Hard to want to stay when your employer drags negotiations out for 1+ year, all the while having wages frozen due to negotiations, or alternately, having your employer try to cut your existing benefits to the legal minimum in your state (happening to another unionized dept. at my job) when you finally get to financials. And this is at a small/medium non profit. Doesn't matter what sector you're in, the bottom line is what matters most to these assholes. My dept. hasn't even elected a bargaining committee yet. Someone who's in a union please provide me with some positive words cuz this shit is haaaard

I don't think it operated under the assumption that communism is bad. You can't have a movie about 19th century war/politics without there being politicians demonizing communism, and communists being ambiguous or completely scared at best of openly admitting their affiliations. It's not realistic for a big Hollywood production to come right out with a big banner that says "CAPITALISM EVIL COMMUNISM GOOD" even if Nolan wanted to.

Tbh a lot of criticisms that I've seen online feel like those making them haven't even seen the film. Or they really lack nuance, idk.

In my perspective, the movie didn't perpetuate the "this is the lesser of two evils" line of thought at all. Yes, that was expressed but with all of the politicians in the room it would be unrealistic for their to be no dialogue of that sort at all. The tone of the scene, to me, felt like it was a poor excuse, and all the while Oppenheimer is convincing himself that that is the only option, like he leaves his guilt behind until after the damage had been done. I didn't leave feeling like he was a hero, or feeling bad for him. It showed him living with the shitty choices that he made that's what he deserved for not being true to his original convictions

Makes sense. Jeez it's insane just how exaggerated and pervasive western propaganda is...like, I've done a good amount of research to try and undo my perceptions about the DPRK, but even still I have the thought that "surely there must be something that's accurate in the media that's just wildly exaggerated". But I guess US media does just make up whatever the fuck they want.

Did you visit more rural towns? What were they like? I was checking the sattelite images out on Google earth and it looks like they're really tiny and spread out. Also did you go to the Waterpark? Lol

Oh I'd love to hear about your experience! I imagine since you had such an extended stay, you didn't have any kind of chaperone with you?

Have you ever spent weeks and months and years of being so sad that you don't even want to exist anymore? And the feeling won't stop, so you start thinking that you want to die instead of not exist? Then that turns into wanting to kill yourself instead of just wanting to die, then that turns into daydreaming about the different ways that you'll kill yourself, and then turns into trying to figure out how to get what you need to do it, and where to do it?

Yeah, mood stabilizers help with that.

He was just playing the "Errrrr" game.

We seriously need to just toss all of these corpses in politics into the incinerator already.
