An all too familiar story.It's fine. I'm done with it now. Never doing it again. I feel bad for whoever they replace me with, because they genuinely have no idea how to run the place. I'll figure something else out for money. The extra $2/hr isn't worth my sanity, which I was losing. They are definitely losing money overall because of their behavior. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C_Wrt6pNSw |

This is a harsh lesson I had to learn. If you work more than you need to, the company expects that level of commitment out of everyone else too. You are effectively being a scab.Want to know my nightmare story? I worked overnight to package things. I work at one of the biggest stores in the state (NSA dox here, whatever). They told me "don't worry no one can get it all done". I cracked my knuckles and came up with a new way to do it, getting it all done. The other two old ladies that worked with me looked so bad. They were both replaced. Now there are only 2 people working overnights, and I have twice as much work to do on top of that. There are days where it takes me 12 hours to get it all done. I get yelled at every day for being too slow. Every single coworker I've had has either had a mental breakdown or quit. They can't find anyone to do it. If I work as fast as I can, I can get it all done on a slow day on time, and I feel very sick afterwards, like I'm going to vomit. The other day I had a new manager who worked at a much smaller store lecture me on how I should be able to get it all done twice as fast. I basically broke down crying and told them I refused to do it anymore, and now I'm not doing overnights anymore (this was only 2 days ago). I really need the money mind you, they cut my pay by $3 and took away all my benefits at one point. I genuinely believe that the amount of manipulation, lying, and gaslighting they put me through would make anyone else quit. They also treat me like a dumb problem employee kid because I admitted to them that I had a drinking problem. (This job drove me to drink) --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C_Wrt6pNSw |

If you're feeling like that, hang on for a bit. Just a day or two. You might feel differently if you hear a joke you like, or watch your favorite movie.

I'd like to think the mentality of aliens would be similar to that of humans and some other mammals - I guess things like empathy and compassion would be advantageous characteristics - but I think there's more to biochemistry than what current science has shown.There was a lot of hype surrounding silicone based life forms and it turns out it's just not as good as carbon. It can't form the same variety of bonds needed to make so many things. I don't like to use the word "designed" but it seems like there's one great way to do life in our physics. It would be cool to think of different ways a brain could be made but we don't really know how brains work at this point in time.

Why wouldn't I negate that by like 90% with almost no drawbacks. Most people just use their computers for browsing the internet and playing video games. Everyone should do it tbh. I would not recommend building a gaming PC in this current year running Windows. Also yeah I admit to being paranoid and spread thin with the things I have to worry about.

That's also not impossible, though, lots of high profile hackers only get caught because they do something stupid, and until then they just get away with it. It's not exactly the whole 1984 situation, or at least, the NSA doesn't share their power levels with the FBI.

Otherwise it's a glorified autocorrect and has no idea how to reflect on what it's saying, so it's fundamentally unable to stop hallucinating.

Well anyway VSCode is a terrible downgrade. You took a perfectly good IDE (Visual Studio) and ruined it with CLI because CLI makes your hipster brain feel smarter while providing no benefit. Buttons that you can use your mouse to click on are for evolved people. It exists in this modern day so that shut-ins can feel some sense of power knowing they can do something other people can't.

| Yellow 05/30/24 11:31:43 AM #15 | My switch to Linux Mint has been pretty seamless. There have been some issues, but nothing worse than what I would have had to deal with on Windows. I'm definitely never going back. Every single steam game I've tried has run without issue.
I wouldn't have said this a year ago, but Windows feels pretty obsolete at this point, and I think it's only going to get worse as they add more bloat and dumb features no one wants or can get rid of. Meanwhile Linux just keeps getting better and more user friendly. I've never been a hug Linux fan up until now, I don't like terminals, I think people are unfairly nostalgic/nerdy for them. A lot better than they do on Windows (old games don't lose compatibility with Proton) My two times I had to mess with the terminal were having to install a custom driver for my Xbox One controller, and having to run a command to fix some audio clicking. But that was it. No more than 5 minutes total. I'm also a programmer so I messed with it way more of course. My frustrations trying to make C# work aren't really anyone elses. VSCodium isn't detecting my .net SDKs, and Jetbrains Rider is crashing when I open one of my projects. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C_Wrt6pNSw |

| Yellow 05/29/24 1:41:50 AM #13 | When did I say I was going to completely hide from the NSA with a VPN alone... a VPN only hides certain things but not your fingerprint. Nothing hides your fingerprint. You could be on Tor/Tails and be completely open. I also implicitly mentioned Tor when I mentioned Tails OS. The fact that you didn't catch that makes me think you don't know how to be anonymous on the internet.
What a VPN does is hide your traffic from your ISP, which the government can access directly if they want to. It can also possibly hide you from the website server itself, which the NSA might not even have access to anyway. It doesn't stop trackers or Javascript for that matter. I'm sorry but I know exactly how a VPN works. Also point me to where you read that NordVPN has a back door for the NSA lol.

Brave uses Chromium. Use Firefox to be truly free of their infestation.Are they going to be associating my gamefaqs account with my SSN? Sure. Whatever. Are they going to know exactly what I type into the search box from here on out? No. Believe it or not the government is not some almighty power. They run into walls. There was a leaked document talking about how Tails OS is a serious obstacle to them. Hate to say it but this edgy commentary is about as useless as someone telling me not to vote because the whole system is corrupt. You might as well be an NSA plant. Trackers being blocked and VPNs hiding you from your ISP mean the government can't see what you're doing unless they exploit your system.
