I don’t know if you like podcasts, but Know Your Enemy is a take on the right from two leftists who used to be conservatives who approach it from an intellectual POV.
I linked to the political magazine that helps support them since it gives some rundowns of their topics that might give you some of the sources that can be read instead of listening to their podcast, if you’d prefer.
No, no, you see, it’s actually so empowering for the worker because they can quit at any time with no notice! Isn’t that so empowering! In fact, I almost think that the balance of power goes too far in the workers favor on this and we need to give some of it back to the poor employers who are just always walking on eggshells since they can be quit on at any time!
/s just in case
It’s so insane that anyone can argue that at-will employment is anything other than a shitty employer’s wet dream.
I’m a millennial that doesn’t like avocado at all, so, speaking of disgraces!
We managed to get a house, but there are also 3 of us with no kids, I can’t imagine managing with two people in todays economy. We got in just before the rates skyrocketed in 2021, the house price is basically what the inflation calculators say the original owners bought it for decades ago, so, there’s that at least, that we only paid the equivalent of the original list price for a 5-6 decades old house with decades of shoddy repairs such as every single plug with a ground having the ground pin tied to the neutral!
It’s a real rough time out there right now though with ownership out of the realm of possibility for so many :-\
ok, Millennial … look at you over there ::checks notes:: loving the woman you married! What a disgrace!
Seriously though, best of luck through this and hopefully the 1st Amendment is upheld
ETA: Not sure on your age here, was just a joke to play on the boomer ‘wife bad’ stereotype that in my experience is way too accurate.
Regardless of anything else, it’s a medical procedure, your employer shouldn’t be privy to private medical details just because they don’t agree with them. You should be able to get a doctors note that you’re having a procedure, will require time to heal and be done with it, in any reasonable world, but … here we are.
Right?! Super easy to be “privacy focused” when you just flat out refuse to acknowledge anything as personally identifiable information!
SCOTUS declaring this illegal in 3…2…1!

Ah, my apologies for the assumption, it’s been almost a year but I’m still too used to Reddit apparently!
Yes, the default launcher had ads, the SHIELD itself didn’t, but I also didn’t like any of the 3rd party launchers I used but I don’t remember specifically why. Then, the SHIELD stopped booting so I didn’t want to buy another one and went with the ATV instead.
As I mentioned, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to someone who knows they’d regret not having the cast functionality, but, if you just want a device that works very well and doesn’t ever have so much as a hiccup during navigation, it’s been great!
I would still recommend the SHIELD for someone that wants cast or who wouldn’t have a problem with (mostly) relevant ads being shown on the device (stock).
Yeah I used to have a PC and a Harmony remote that would send macros to a custom script and Kodi would do different things or it could switch to Netflix and … Like, we just want to watch a movie or TV show not have to perform tech support whenever Netflix changed their webpage!
My SHIELD would just randomly restart itself until eventually it stopped coming back online.
I definitely got my monies worth out of it, but didn’t like that a device with no ads all of a sudden became a device with ads (and this is a Google thing not an Nvidia one, but still)
You specifically said you use a 3rd party launcher. You know why you specifically mentioned that.
We’re a non-iPhone household and went with the AppleTV when my Nvidia SHIELD died.
Ads were getting put on the SHIELD and I definitely didn’t want to buy another one because of that and it has been a while since its had a refresh, so went with an AppleTV instead.
The device itself is fantastic, the UI is so smooth and so much nicer. OTOH, I miss being able to cast to the TV more than I expected. It works decently with the Macbooks though (we’re a weird household … like Macs, hate iPhones).
So … if ya’ll have iPhones or don’t care about casting, I’d definitely recommend an AppleTV with Plex (the Dropout, Youtube, Disney+ apps are all good too).
ETA: Apple is also making some pretty awesome TV content as well and IIRC you’ll get a couple months free with the purchase … verify that yourself though in case they’ve removed it, but Foundation, Severance & See are fantastic shows if you’re looking for something to watch.
Conversely, maybe she thinks there will be MORE opportunity for $200k speeches if Trump wins!
As long as you’re not talking about throwing Molotov Cocktails at their CEOs, I don’t really see how that would matter
Bookstack has a pretty robust API for things like adding/exporting content even if the UI doesn’t always have a way to do things.
Might be worth looking at this ready-made script and see if it serves your purpose (at the very least just to make your shift from BS a bit easier): https://gist.github.com/ssddanbrown/45acb913a7b873240b2d89781e74a7a4
Interview With a Vampire … kind of … Lestat was by no means good to Louis, but their portrayals in the rest of the series was quite different … I think that Anne Rice was trying to show that neither of them should be considered reliable narrators and Louis will always try to portray his situation as awfully as possible and Lestat is a narcissist and will always try to portray himself in the best light even when acknowledging what he did incorrectly.
But, when I saw that book 2 was about Lestat, I was like … wtf … I hate this guy, why would I want a story with him as the main character and then I read them all, lol.
Same, but for the red ones for me.
My favorite non-example of this was in Mr Robot. The main character starts explaining something and the other character just says something like “we know what a raspberry pi is jackass” and it was fantastic.

No wait, give it back! Stop trying to steal my beer! I like beer!
