Case

I don't disagree. My last job was using winget to update some things. I raised the concept of trusting otherwise unknown updates, but I was pushed aside for the quick utility.

I'm only a student of cybersecurity, but I harshly judge my former "security expert" on far more than that.

Like fuck, the help desk has to install every patch, to every machine, through a spreadsheet?

No, deploy that shit from a server. Fuck.

In a way, I'm glad I left. In another way, I would really like a pay check again... and I moved to a well, tech illiterate state. Fuck me.

I don't think consciousness objections will be enough anymore. I'm not sure we will ever see a peaceful exchange of power in this country again. Stochastic terrorism has been on the rise, and I don't see it getting any better.

I Just moved and am still looking for employment, but I live in a red state.

I'm not scared of someone breaking in and taking... stuff. Stuff can be replaced.

I'm scared of political violence. I'm a fucking American. Freedom of Religion is sacrosanct to me. I'm just not Christian. Neither is my wife, and she has a bigger mouth than me.

One of my first purchases when I'm working again (its been a week, I'm not resting on my laurels) will be a firearm for home defense - Ostensibly, to fend off any dipshit neighbors.

My mistake, thank you for the correction.

I picked up Veilguard because I enjoyed Origins and Inquisition. The second game... at this point, I don't think I took it right and its my problem and I need to give it another chance.

I'm still very early into the game, but the only "woke" thing I've seen so far is variable gender identity during character creation.

You want to play a "woman" who looks masculine, with atypical male traits, even a penis, and a deep voice? You know what, I'm glad the option is open to people. It doesn't vibe with me personally, but I'm glad that people I care about can make a character that is "them," because who hasn't made themselves in an RPG at some point in their life, best they were able.

Again, I'm early to it, but that is all of the "woke" shit I've seen.

For the record, I have friends and family in the LGTBQ+(whatever, doesn't matter) that I support.

I don't want hate in my heart, and I've worked very hard to overcome some biases that came from my more "southern" upbringing. Hell, one of those biased views from the past is now openly trans, and I was the only family member they talked to because they couldn't talk to anyone else.

I'm imperfect, as all humans are, but it isn't hard to fucking TRY, just a little, to realize that someone else's self image and happiness doesn't affect mine other than what pronouns I use to refer to them. Fuck, its not hard. Just don't be a dick.

My second job was as a "Sandwich Artist."

I'm aware, more so than some others.

Also, if you like tuna fish sandwiches there has been a long standing question of whether or not there is actual tuna in their cans. But what I can say, with certainty, at least when I worked there, that the recipe was 90% shitty mayo and very little anything else.

Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are all Abrahamic religions.

To break it down, essentially, different flavors of the same core "food."

Christianity believes in Christ (Jesus Christ) as the messiah and savior. Judaism does not consider Christ to be the messiah, and are still waiting. Islam believes that Jesus was a prophet of the lord (same lord, god, etc) but Mohamed was the first, and thus best (hearkening back to early internet "first" posts that were utterly pointless).

Its all the same shit, but go on.

Yeah, TNO is absolutely an individual character you happen to be in the shoes of.

Without spoiling anything, the game IS TNO's story.

If that doesn't interest you, best of luck in your refund request.

That being said, I've only gotten around to getting one tattoo in my life - The rune of torment.

Yeah, my first thought was the advertisement probably didn't include anything that was actually food.

Of course, the definition of food seems to keep changing as the decades pass by.

I had a vasectomy 14 years ago.

Even if 100% male contraceptive becomes available it was still a wise decision on my part because who knows many mistakes I would have made in the time before it became available?

And, if 100% male contraceptive becomes available, I still wouldn't want to get it reversed. I've never faltered from my position on not having any biological children.

Donated and became a member for legal protection in a very red state.

I've grown differently from Satanism into other areas, but being able to produce a membership card for a legally recognized religion that isn't Christian has its perks in some work places.

Mainly, the group is LITIGIOUS as fuck. They will go to court for a person's employee rights. It wouldn't be the first time.

I've never hit the end game goal.

After picking easier biomes to begin with, and a couple QOL mods, I've enjoyed every second.

Ever pissed off a turtle? Their bite hurts, even for the smaller ones.
