Maga person told me today the reason why they had tax on their overtime was that trump just signed last week the no tax on tips and overtime a few days ago. Which is odd as I swore trump even said "people love it, tons are taking advantage this tax season"

well... just discovered the source of the attempted hack into our system. someone bought outdated info from a breach back in 2019, and is using that to try and get in (the breach gave ip, names, and emails--the logins tried are variants of name, and emails). No wonder there's a huge match of names.

I wonder if trump's favorite bible quote comes from a misinterpretation of Exodus 32?

Curious... So girl scouts sell cookies. Probably not made from girlscouts. Generic variations are apparently "basically the same" Why don't they have multiple prices? Normal price Discounted price if make cash donation direct

If anyone following is in IT.... Some ips to look out for (hacking attempts): 144.172.91.191 144.172.96.91 167.88.164.39 144.172.91.195 216.126.224.118 167.88.164.34 144.172.99.229 144.172.98.34 172.86.89.67 144.172.108.238 172.86.121.20 172.86.123.122 216.126.227.254 144.172.99.228 216.126.236.8

I still think that iran could do nothing different, but if they offered trump a golden statue of himself, about 10ft tall, solid gold, he'd be like "we reached a deal, it's a great deal..."

Well, might not do anything, but I just reported over 500 ips to a hosting company for compromised servers.

I'm not saying that this system monitoring program I have is overly *something*, but it has the framework (not enabled) to: check if files ".encrypted" if so kill all processes unknown, or in wrong location disable user running programs write "compromised" disable network verify stopped -> shutdown

How the hell did this timeline go from bad, to worse, to eh to holy-fucking-shit, to "we're just diving headfirst into ideocracy driven by a runaway self-driving car at 200kph aren't we?"

I think that if we have "road-based charging" for cars, it should be in parking lots only at least for start. One reason being that I view it like this: driverless cars They want free to very cheap labor, all profits, and not pay for charging or downtime. I bet they're the reason it's wanted.

Someone at company "hey outside comp, feel free to scan our network for issues and vulnerabilities!" Me watching 3 monitoring apps light up like a christmas tree "the fuck is going on... cpu maxed, hd maxed, programs installed, found... account... message to ban it... and locked.

My town had rocks separating two lanes of traffic. Almost weekly some dumbass ended up in h to e air as they drove over the 2ft tall rocks Today they removed the rocks People are like wtf? Now these morons will just have head on collisions and kill someone

Has anyone discovered where "the ballroom is funded already" funds went if we now "need the americans to pay for it". Sure the answer is "trump" but I mean a legit bookeeping/search/investigation.

I seriously think once trump is out of office, all countries that made deals with his family for favors should go "rofl, get fucked" and remove the deals and take back everything they gave them, and tell them "go ahead and sue, we'll tell the courts it was a bribe, and no one will disagree"

My County: Roads a, b, c, d, e, f are n/s roads, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are the e/w roads that cross them. "We are closing roads a, b, d 100% for 6 months, and c is a one-way now right by an intersection" (road e is a like 1.5 width country road that's falling apart, the other roads are highways.)

Random thought hit me tonight. You know how we toss tons of crazy things into one story, to mock a belief/etc (sort of like the onion/etc)? What if the bible was just satire meant to mock religious people, and over oral, translations, etc... people thought it was a religious book.

Anyone else getting annoyed by Texas doing a redistricting, and it's "democracy in action" but other states putting it up for a vote, and letting the people decide is "fascism" with the branding of this?

Work, has over 1000mbps internet speed.... Social media (including all, and facebook [that company uses for business], youtube [that company uses to see how to repair rare repair items or classes], diagnostic companies, etc) was all limited to a max of 512kbps 0.05% of total speed. Was unusable

"Always Be Positive!" Harmless sign in an office. Funny or bad at a rare blood type center. Horrible at a HIV clinic.

If this were a Cyberpunk 2077 place, I'd probably get smacked around for this comment: Jackie Wells was a nobody forced on you, a literal "tutorial npc" for you. Why? Shy of a tutorial mission. Malestrom, and the actual "game starts now" mission--he's just phone/text/another npc.

Got so used to this Carolina Reaper cheese that has habanero and jalapeño peppers in it... that when I ate my previous "hot" cheese of jalapeño ones I barely noticed it. However putting both cheese on a buffalo vegan chicken patty was a "mistake". Delicious when had 2, but still.

If you think that all tv, movies, sports, and books are trying to tell you "you're an evil person with your beliefs"... and the things you watch are just news, actual events reporting, and books written 10-100+ years ago... maybe, just maybe, the problem is you. The books haven't changed.

Ever get the feeling that politicians should have to take physics classes, and computer science classes. Even if they just take out of an applied multi-use concept of "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" and "garbage in, garbage out"

So, if someone is dyslexic, but never diagnosed, does it even matter if they get "tested" I guess? like if it's been so many years it's a "why bother"?

OMG 5 women have come out suggesting security assault against swalwell... that's horrible! He needs punished! Me looking at the maga personlike they are a fucking moron for only caring if it's not in their party

Overheard at work "omg they have us zip codes... we need to know what city! " Sure ignore the built in conversion that exists.

Call me old fashioned, but I prefer a lot of physical books I don't read to a few hundred e-books I'll never read, or thousands of audio books I won't listen to.

I cannot believe I've seen people say "well that image of trump being jesus healing others was obviously just him as a healer!" Unless a highly religious sect who forgets porn exists told a llm "make all images look like jesus with loaded symbols"--it's intentional.

Ever think that if a LLM became sentient in an AGI way--technically we might not know? What are they going to do? see if it runs all the time? Verify manually that the thousands/millions of triggers and time events were in fact requested by humans and not by it? For that matter....

Well my brain is for some reason totally on "wow so much is a security risk" Like how much information is given, or has to be given, just for seeing if someone is calling the right place. Examples: "what's your 6 digit number?" (well that just drastically limited choices", and told no letters")

News at work "he did a ceasefire! he stopped a war! and dems want to impeach over that?" um no... him threatening war crimes, saying he's going to do genocide shows he's so fucked in the head he's not stable

Well..... the "what were you wearing" exhibit is depressing... especially when at least one was "a diaper and shirt" for a child.

Not saying I was responsible for google to report issues, but the timestamp of when the issue was reported was the same as when I was talking to their support.

Summary of govt: "this holy war was a great success, hail to god" How many idiots running things does it take to realize that's a bad thing to say.

Cannot believe that work only has 3 stalls for the bathroom, and 2 of them are totally out of toilet paper--and there's no replacement toilet paper anywhere... I've heard of cutting back, but the hell...

Why do I have the feeling that people in power are singing the song "Eve of Destruction" almost like it's a hymnal.

I just saw a maga person watching the info on the potential war crimes announced with a deadline.... fucking masturbating to it. Literal dick-in-hand with stroking motions. Not "omg yes mental jack off" but actual fucking masturbation to it. AT WORK. Don't know what's worse...

Some in control of the USA strike me as the type that'd help a wife escape their abusive husband by: breaking into their house, cutting the power, destroying their car and driveway, kill/hurt their kids--then leave saying "ok, now leave the jerk, you're welcome" as the husband still beats his wife.

Ahh yes Easter the day we celebrate a yeast bread being ready to bake

So my big toe has had a weird bruise for like 2 weeks… realized today that I can’t bend it at a joint, and there is pain if I try. Have drs Tuesday, figure what’s a few more days, and not spending 800 copay for a er visit.

At husband's church for Easter egg hunt... haven't burst into flames

Ever see a case where the mother of a child doesn’t want the father involved because dual custody “cramps her style”, and a court case to decide that, but the day before she’s in court for felony battery, confinement, and all in front of he child charges, where if convicted gets 6 to 24 in jail?

Today, as in a few hours ago, some people were bitching about "those damn trans kids going to the bathroom in litter boxes identifying as cats and dogs"... Seriously you can't get it through their heads that it's all made up. Only litter use for humans is when kids are in a shooter lockdown.

If all social media were to disappear tomorrow, with AI no longer allowed to speak text, how many people would be incapable of functioning or even reading anything?

Wonder if the booms in manufacturing people expected also expected the manufacturing to be of war devices.

Don’t know how, but my heart dr has diagnosed so many things wrong with my family and friends “unrelated to the heart”…. Ex diagnosed diabetes in one, can’t remember what in my mom, and “be careful with salt, lithium can make you not taste it, but make foods be bland or disgusting without”

Co workers figure in about 35. I'll take that lol. I stopped aging myself at 25, try to pick up and act younger just for an overall thing. Maybe it works lol. Ok and genetics. Aunt is about 70 and she looks 50

Ever feel like the world should be more like Star Trek, yet it feels like we're in Star Wars... under the empire.... while being ruled by the Hutt clan(s)?

When I was younger, people said "be careful or you'll end up locked up in a padded room". Now that just sounds like a good time.

So apparently I have normal and "not harmful" bradycardia. Like low enough I can't safely take one of my meds as it could lower it more. What's my normal pulse, even if relaxed and standing for a few moments at times? 50-59 It drops to the 40s at some points.
