I honestly wouldn’t have expected this, unless IQ was also correlated to empathy somehow

Present! I don’t even remember my times tables

And how to win at it and defend it from democracy

I hate this left/right shit. There’s only conservatives and everyone else.

All jobs suck but if it paid better I would never have quit being a grocery store cleaner.

I mean the money sounds great, but I’m also sure I would hate it after the first three times

Anthropic principle ftw

I propose going to the south pole and just letting go??

But is it on the on the G of GO or after?

I think that was the implication, but no harm in making it explicit

For kids??

Yeah that’s my philosophy as well. I’m not going to cower just in case someone happens to be looking in MY window. If they get an eyefull well whoops, stop peepin. It’s not like I’m humping the windows over here

Do you even need to instruct people to read this with a French accent?

I was also sent to school with a hot potato to keep me warm… is that not a thing anymore?

French?

Sadly some jobs are not available without the paper. That credentialism for ya

I don’t have technical advise but congrats on taking your privacy seriously. It sounds to me like you’re fundamentally doing very well, probably learning a lot, even if your setup isn’t ideal right now.

From my perspective, it’s never going to be truly ideal—like perfect. Migrating and moving around, adapting and optimising, are how you maintain a good posture.

Especially when dealing with companies or even other people like solution maintainers, you’re going to get disappointed in some of them and have to migrate.

If you were happy staying put you’d be on Windows 11 complaining on Facebook right now. ;) So pat yourself on the back for that win, friend—you’re doing it!

Delta chat for me
